[PC] King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella (SCI version) (1988)

How:
Bought the 4+5+6 bundle on GoG during sales after finishing King's Quest II.
Pros:
- Very nice graphics and fluid animations
- Nice, short music punctuates the main events
- Very logical puzzles, some of which are rather challenging
- Some lightweight creepy moments and night scenes
- The game changes to zoomed-in visuals in interiors
- Very likable main character
- You get to play as a frog!
Cons:
- It's sometimes hard to see where is the main character due to screen clutter (e.g. when appearing behind a tree), and it's easy to get stuck
- No sound effects
- Some extremely annoying arcade sequences (e.g. the usual narrow paths and climbing the whale's tongue)
- Some dead ends
- Unpredictable random events make puzzles more difficult than they should be (e.g. cupid taking a bath in the pool, the cave monster appearing at times)
- The parser is sometimes very strict (e.g. play sheet music), sometimes very forgiving
- Unnecessary items have just the standard description

[FC] Lagrange Point (1991)

How:
Read a convincing review appearing on HG101 in a regular weekly update. Got interested by the space environment and by the introductory cut-scene.
Pros:
- Amazing music from start to end
- Nice playing characters to create a bond with
- Can choose among various human and robot characters for the roster, each having his/her/its peculiarities and role in the story
- Special moves (きめわざ) evolve (at least for the main character) and are fun to watch
- Many monsters
- Nice story and nice narration
- 武器合体!!! With each single weapon boasting its own graphical effect and sound when used
- Status ailments are not aggressive and annoying as usual
- Penalty for death is minimal, characters faint anyway beforehand
- Overall very enjoyable and friendly
Cons:
- Random encounters are way too frequent
- BP are annoying and useless
- An annoying graphical glitch on the border of the screen (which may be due to the emulation after all)
- The game can be beaten basically with just enough grinding without resorting to special moves and special items, which should have been rendered more essential for making progress

[PC] Azada: In Libro (2011)

Pros:
- Neat graphics, good variety of music
- Nice settings
- The crying unicorn!
Cons:
- Sometimes the graphics don't match (e.g. the notary at the beginning)
- Some events are foretold in the diary, in general there are problems with continuity
- Ending is underwhelming and anti-climatic
- A very small world
- Extremely light (not challenging and no hidden object sequences)
