[Browser] Radio Silence: Survivors (2014)

How:
Part of the Point and Click Jam (read about it on Gnome's Lair).
URL:
GameJolt link
Pros:
- Cool retro graphics and nice setting
Cons:
- Very short and inconclusive

[PC] Sanitarium (1998)

How:
Played the demo when it came out, finally bought it during Halloween sales at GOG.com.
Pros:
- Cool isometric view
- Nice music fitting well the creepy mood
- Plenty of cut-scenes
- Engaging story with a slowly unraveling mystery
Cons:
- Some game-breaking bugs and crashes
- Puzzles tend to be sparse and easy, they mostly serve to move the story along
- Lack of dialogue continuity; the character reacts to dialogue in a fixed manner even if he already has the information he needs

[PC] The Whispered World (Special Edition) (2010)

How:
Read about it on Adventuregamers.com, got during a Daedalic sale at GOG.com.
Pros:
- Awesome background drawings and in-game animations
- Puzzles are quite clever in general
- Very nice music, although a bit monotonous
- Nice, relaxing mood for the most part
- Quite lengthy and adventurous
- Nice unconvential puzzles to be solved using Spot's transformed versions
Cons:
- No wide screen, a real pity
- Stuttering animations, usually at the beginning of each scene or location
- Glitchy sound in the dialogues
- A couple of annoying puzzles (e.g. move around rooms in the Asgil's city)
- The main character is unlikable, unhearable, and depressing for the most part of the game
- Some puzzles can be solved by accident, destroying continuity
- The clock puzzle in the oracle's hut was automatically solved for me without me asking for it
- Lots of pixel hunting
- Some game-breaking bugs (e.g. character stuck in the background, door does not open, etc.)
- The cinematic parts among chapters do not live up to the rest of the game

[PC] Primordia (2012)

How:
Heard about it on WadjetEye website, got during a Flash Deal at GOG.com.
Pros:
- Excellent voice overs, dialogues and writing
- Nice graphics
- Likable characters and humor
- Very good puzzles, some of which can be quite challenging
- Multiple puzzle solutions
- Fitting music (although very derivative of Blade Runner and the like)
- Cool atmosphere and deep in-game history
- An awesome audio scene in which you communicate via a radio transmitter with a voiceless robot named Gimbal
- A very engaging plot
- Some nice (although sparse) cut-scenes
Cons:
- Mediocre character animations
- Characters retain high resolution when they decrease in size, spoiling the old-school look & feel
- Awful final song (as usual with WadjetEye)

On our way to Metropol. Cut-scenes are nice, but short and rare.

[PC] The Book of Unwritten Tales: The Critter Chronicles (2012)

How:
Got with a Gem Promo sale at GOG.com.
Pros:
- Awesome background graphics
- Excellent music and voice-overs
- Nice puzzles overall
- Simple, yet engaging story
- Amusing dialogues and writing
Cons:
- Some graphical glitches
- At times you are left without knowing why you are solving a particular puzzle
- Very few locations to visit

The critter disguised as purple tentacle from Maniac Mansion.

At one point in the game you get to use the blue and orange portals from Portal!
