buenos dias this genre is filled with
incredible worlds unforgettable
characters and mind-bending puzzles
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be celebrating the return of the
point-and-click adventure game by
counting down our top 10 favorites
flaming foodie number 10 mist let’s kick
things off by getting this heavy weight
out of the way for most people the genre
is divided into two categories before
and after mist a benchmark this mystical
quest puts you in the role of the
stranger a visitor with a special book
marooned on a mysterious island tasked
with solving puzzles in alternate
dimensions called ages Myst is unique
for not featuring any obvious goals
inventory death or dialogue I would have
my retribution please
number 9 the longest journey a game
credited with reinventing how video
games stories are told fun calms
Norwegian classic brought us a memorable
female hero a complex storyline and
cutting edge production values it
focused on an art student with the
ability to shift between parallel worlds
who has to restore the balance of a
realm that blends magical and industrial
elements this one is notable for its
edgy mature content and the deep sense
of wonder that it invoked I always did
love a man in a uniform sorry man but
I’m gay now move along nothing to see
here
number eight Gabriel Knight sins of the
fathers the first installment in the
series it followed a wisecracking and
hard-drinking author and bookstore owner
haunted by nightmares Knight
investigates local murders with voodoo
undertones as a means to inspire his
next novel what can you tell me about
who do why would you want to know about
that detective featuring a Hollywood
caliber boys cast and a gripping story
it unfolded over a series of days and
raised the genres standard for
storytelling and gameplay by abandoning
the use of text phrases number seven
Deponia starring a goofy protagonist
that gets caught up in an equally goofy
adventure this game is filled with humor
and romance ignore him
my wife sometimes talks to herself when
she’s down there he must have picked
that up from her we got meat anymore ah
all that my husband is almost death his
bet has quite good is ah oddly enough it
takes place on a garbage planet and
focuses on Rufus’s quest for a better
life
harkening back to the special something
that made us love The Monkey Island
series its puzzles rely more on a
comedic mindset than sensible logic
which is awesome number six
full-throttle this tim schafer made
cult-classic brought us a cinematic
experience filled with asphalt and
leather taking place within a dystopian
world
it’s a tale centered on a biker gang
leader named ben and his attempts to
stop a deadly plot from ending the
motorcycle era as badass as a game can
get this one featured an unparalleled
voice cast memorable dialogue and
puzzles that flowed naturally within its
fast paced story no one can stop me
but they try number five day of the
tentacle the pseudo sequel to the
classic maniac mansion this game
followed Bernard as he attempted to stop
an evil purple tentacle from taking over
the world I feel like I could take on
the world
a brilliant experience it upped the
predecessor in several ways it improved
upon the controls provided a major
graphical and auditory lead and removed
all of the annoying dead-end scenarios
and character deaths number four the
book of unwritten tales created by
German developer King art the stellar
fantasy game has players take on the
alternating roles of a technology loving
gnome the human adventurer and an elven
princess spoofing the works of JRR
tolkien this wildly fun game pokes fun
at the standard tropes of the RPG and
adventure genres this is a special
experience that impresses with
intelligence humor and heart plus it’s
just a joy to look at I think we’re
finished with this conversation
number three Grim Fandango this 3d
rendered cult neo-noir adventure set in
the land of the dead remains one of
lucas arts his crowning achievements
with a story divided into four acts you
play the dead travel agent Maddie who
has decided to help a newly arrived
wayward soul relocate to a better part
of the underworld shockingly despite its
overall success the title didn’t
rejuvenate the genre but instead became
its 90 swan song after slopped an open
door strange yet symbolically compelling
number two The Walking Dead signaling
the genres return to mainstream
recognition this incredible game
presented a tight and compelling zombie
narrative consisting of five chapters
featuring a gripping story and memorable
characters timed responses affected your
relationships and you are frequently
forced to make difficult long lasting
moral choices more often than not you
must choose who will live and who will
die this is a game that will have you
second-guessing your humanity leaving
you haunted and disturbed by the choices
you made
number one the Monkey Island series
taking the top spot on our list is
LucasArts his hysterical franchise that
landed us in misadventures as the
hapless pirate guy brush Threepwood
if we had to pick a favorite it would be
the third entry the curse of Monkey
Island which combined the popular scam
engine with gorgeous 2d graphics
incredible music more hilarious voice
acting and introduced us to Murray the
demonic talking skull do you need me to
help you down help I need no help from
you foolish mortals
I am Murray the all powerful demonic
skull okay just thought I’d ask
don’t get me wrong I do appreciate the
offer did your favorite point-and-click
