Best Point And Click Adventure Games Ranked

[@ItsBenbetter]

When you talked perspective in KQ6 I figured you would mention the book shop. 32 years later I still remember how cool it felt seeing that.

[@KS-nm6rt]

Loved your list mate, and I don't mind Broken Sword at the top spot. It's all about personal feelings in this genre. My list in no particular order: KQ5, Larry 6, Gabriel Knight 1, Day of the Tentacle, Indy Fate of Atlantis, Broken Sword 1, Monkey Island 2, Curse of Monkey Island, Under a Killing Moon (this one is a gem!) and Blade Runner. I'm probably the only one who wouldn't put Grim Fandango on my list, but back in the day I never made it past the puzzle where you have to plant the sigh in the forest to open the underground passage and got pretty fed up with the controls as well. I think the puzzles in GF were too difficult. Even when I played though the upgraded version, I still got hopelessly stuck every 3 minutes :)

[@KS-nm6rt]

Have you played the Tex Murphy series? They really are something and the main character is also one of the main developers. I love games with "shitty" actors and not Kevin Spacey or some overpaid hollywood actor. Back then it was literally the devs who had to act :)

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Oh man. Well at least you have Grim another try 🤪

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

@@KS-nm6rt heck yeah. The Pandora Directive probably would have made the list if it allowed for FMV 😎

[@FUTUBE608]

Ahh true it's point and click only 👌 I think I like Pandora Directive more than Under a Killing Moon as well.

[@Xuevium]

Very cool video man, I actually watched the whole thing. Day of the Tentacle wow.. one of the best games ever. I used to play it a ton with my friend in California. This brought alot of nostalgia. I doubt anyone knows about this game but me, but did you ever hear of one called Ween: The Prophecy? it was seriously cool, but very few played it. It would have fit in good at #11 on your list haha. Dude make some more of these gaming videos! I subscribed.

[@childofthe80s1981]

I did an LP of Ween the Prophecy on my channel

[@alextee2684]

ween the prophecy was good but no way in top ten or top 20

[@nightlythievery]

Awwww I'm a bit disappointed that Indy only made it to the honourable mentions, Fate of Atlantis is my second favourite point and click adventure, just after Monkey Island 2. 😅 Solid list though, I really enjoyed listening to your thoughts on these games. That's an instant sub. 😊

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Thanks so much. Being honest, in 3 attempts I never managed to complete it. Mostly due to glitches or PC crashes growing up. I couldn't justify putting it in my top 10 because of that. It's not the GAMES fault. Thanks so much. I'm putting out a lot of upcoming Monkey Island videos. Thanks again

[@nightlythievery]

@@AdventureGameHotspot oh no, that's sad! It's such a great game, sorry to hear it's not running smoothly for you. 😭 Really looking forward to more point and click and Monkey Island content in the future 😊

[@malavenda3291]

hypothesis: most blame Sierra games, don't rank 'em at the top, for their difficulty, out of spite, because at some point they got a bad ending, or a blind end

[@EbonyPope]

I really enjoy the Larry series. The sixth part with the incredibly sarcastic narrator makes me piss myself everytime. They just nail the voice acting. It's maybe one of the most underappreciated arts. Making a character come to life with your voice isn't easy. Even good actors fail at that quite often because it's quite different from traditional acting since you have nothing that responds or interacts with you.

[@joshuacleveland7178]

They need to give us Full Throttle 2

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

yes

[@Epictronics1]

Excellent choice for the number one game. BS1 has to be the best game ever made

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Heck yeah Epic 😀

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Thanks. You are the third person to tell me that. Will do my friend

[@MissConJeezyality]

How about Discworld and Discworld 2 Missing presumed dead? Humour in these are great, as well as Discworld Noir of course

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Noir was my favorite. I loved the gameplay of 1 and 2. I never made it out of the city in game 1. Very difficult. I completed 2 and enjoyed it. Top 30 for me.

[@MissConJeezyality]

@@AdventureGameHotspot Yeah the first one was really tough with next to no hints and the developers even admitted that and was why they put more hints in 2. Noir was really classy and Rob Brydon was great voicing that array of characters!

[@unclepatrick2]

Wonder of wonder , I have played all of these games .

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

They are the best

[@unclepatrick2]

@@AdventureGameHotspot I might move a coupe into different numbers spots but yes it a very good list of the best

[@hotlavatube]

Did you ever try the more modern Deponia series by Daedalic Entertainment? It felt like I was playing an old point & click adventure from the 90s.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

I’ve not played it but I heard that it was good.

[@Elosopoderoso97]

"There's this one game I'm trying to remember from when I was a little kid (early 90's). Literally, the only things I can remember about it is this...It's a pc game. These 2 chicks (might have been princesses) who look exactly alike are fighting each other in one of those cartoony cloud fights (all you see is a cloud with fists and stuff). You're supposed to click on the right one (I think), or you lose... The game might have been medieval themed. I have a hard time remembering any details about the game itself. I was extremely little. Just remember me and my sister taking turns playing it. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be greatful."

[@TequilaToothpick]

Wasn't Kingdom O Magic was it?

[@Elosopoderoso97]

@@TequilaToothpick Sadly no, i Just watched the Longplay and it wasn't the game i'm looking for. But i thank you a lot anyway, it was pretty accurate for the fight system, you got a very great memory.

[@SpasmFunnel]

Sherlock Holmes was set in 1988? I know the UK was a little behind the US, but not that far behind.

[@tasospodcast8832]

First of all, what a great channel let me say! You got my sub my friend. This is YOUR list I get it. But Broken Sword as number 1? I just don't get it. I remember it as having a "washed out" Gabriel Knight feel to it. Still a great game though. My list, in case you're interested, would have GK1 as no1 with ease. Fate of Atlantis would have made the list for sure. KQ6 would be higher up. Stay cool!

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Thanks so much. I wavered between lost scalpel and FOA at 10. GK1 is by far my favorite Sierra game. Broken Sword was special to me. The story and subject matter was as good as it got for my interests. Thanks for the interest my friend. What is your top 5?

[@tasospodcast8832]

@@AdventureGameHotspot I’ll go big and give you my top10: 10) Discworld Noir 9) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 8) Freddy Pharkas 7) The Curse of Monkey Island 6) Space Quest V 5) Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis 4) Conquests of Camelot (that atmosphere...) 3) King’s Quest VI 2) Monkey Island 2 1) Gabriel Knight 1 It’s mainly that eternal strife between Sierra and Lucas as you can see. I understand the fact that Lucas had way less games and all of the them were diamonds, but when it comes to the best Adventure game of the ages it’s a fight between GK1 and MI2, and GK1 (in my book of course) wins by “split decision” if you will.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

@@tasospodcast8832 nice. Great list. Discworld Noir is definitely the best Discworld game. Did you see our Lucasarts vs Sierra two part videos?

[@tasospodcast8832]

@@AdventureGameHotspot I did just earlier today! Great stuff! Do you know that back in the day the Lucasarts Adventures, although GENERALLY superior to the Sierra ones sold WAY less than them?

[@MrBobogrady]

Wow there's a Ripley's Believe it or Not game??

[@Nooraksi]

​@@alextee2684 Did you play Fran Bow? Also Grim Fandango is really overated, I don't understand how you can place this game at #1 (like most lists do) while having the most bizarre, illogical, impossible, try everything in your inventory puzzles in history of Point and click!!! It really defies a purpose of point and click games that require solving puzzles and not dull your mind and try everything in your inventory and pray it works!!!!

Why is the voiceover panned 100% to the left lmaoo

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

I’m just surprised people are still viewing this. It was my first video 😀

[@Hagelnot]

Interesting. My list would look pretty different, especially the top spots. But I assume it's important which games one plays first, thus where you get the ohs and awes from the first time.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Nostalgia is powerfully represented 😃

[@EbonyPope]

Well Day of the Tentacle is just incredible especially the comic style artwork. Which point and click adventures would you pick? I'm always open to suggestions because in the last few months I picked up playing these styles of games again.

i totally agree with the exception of monkey island 3.......instead of mk3 i would have picked the longest journey or shadow of the comet or indy 4......great pick in number ten!!!!! oh and instead of sam n max because as u said its bizarre i would pick Thimbleweed park

OOh. You like Thimbleweed Park. Heck Yeah man. You don't like Curse of Monkey Island?

Maybe it was the GRIME engine, but I really disliked the setup for Grim Fandango. The lack of a cursor and you had to be right next to an object to do anything with it was really annoying. The story was good, but I got to the second year in the game and lost interest.
