[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] Runaway: A Road Adventure (2001)

How:
Read a review on Adventuresplanet.it during my rediscovering of the genre, then bought the game at a Gamestop for 10 bucks.
Pros:
- A nice classical adventure with plenty of traveling
- Environments are excellent both from graphical point of view and their setting
- Dialogues are usually long-winded and fun
- Rewarding puzzles
Cons:
- Cut-scenes quality is not on par with the rest of the game (lousy cel-shading)
- Characters are mostly unfun, unpleasant and annoying (including the main character)
