The Sรฉance of Blake Manor is my 2nd best game of 2025. This mix of @dukope.bsky.social's Return of The Obra Dinn, Golden Idol (@goldenidol.bsky.social) and @frogwares-games.bsky.social's Sherlock Holmes games is absolutely brilliant.

The Drifter is my 3rd best game of 2025. This is an excellent, fast paced, very Aussie adventure game that doesn't resort to cheap tricks to keep up that pace.

Strange Antiquities is my 8th best game of 2025. Was really looking forward to this after the excellent Strange Horticulture, and it did not disappoint. Great puzzles!

Cabernet is my 14th best game of 2025. I feared this was going to be a visual novel for teenagers, but instead it's a well written and at times dark RPG. Give an award to the actress of Liza!

I had some expectations since they made Darkside Detective, but wow, this is a really excellent game! Highly recommended for all aspiring detectives out there!

I just wish the gameplay was given the same amount of love. The parts that are here are so simplistic. This game deserves more, and I expected more from a creative company like Double Fine.

The first is about SVHA Adventure, a unique version of Colossal Cave developed on a Norsk Data minicomputer in Norway in 1979. Lost and completely unknown until this year. We have the story & a playable version.

Another beautiful adventure game that originally never came out in English. The French game Black Sect is a 1993 remake of an 1990 Amstrad CPC game.
The remake came out for Amiga, Atari ST and DOS, and they all look great. Since then the game has had an English fan translation and a remake in AGS.
In the 00s, I played a lot of adventure games in German, because they were "all" from Germany at the time, and the English voice acting was usually awful.
I wonder, though, if there are any interesting adventure games from the 90s that were only in German.

Experience a new horror game, "Split," by the creator of "Buckshot Roulette," for $3 on Steam. Dive into a dark MS-DOS hacking tale in a short, solo adventure lasting 1-2 hours, immersing you in a crew of hackers uncovering secrets in unethical electronics.

People are raving about the RPGs of 2025, but adventure games are knocking them out of the park this year!
The Drifter is a great game that every adventure game fan should play. I hope @barney.powerhoof.com will continue to make them!

It doesn't matter where you're from. Gaming has always been universal.
Always nice to experience games that has a different perspective as well, and it's an enjoyable game too. Very cool graphics and excellent voice acting.

It has been a really good year for adventure games. Several of them look absolutely gorgeous as well. But I think the best looking game must be Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer. The world is so full of life. Very good game too!

Blue Prince. Will be very surprised if this isn't GOTY. I was worried the progression would be a bit random because of the room drafting, but it felt natural all the way to the "end". One of the best designed games of all time.

"Whenever I smell asphalt, I think of Maureen. That's the last sensation I had, before I blacked out: the thick smell of asphalt."
The start of Blue Prince makes me think of the intro to Full Throttle.

Agree about the exploration. What happened in the writing department though? I have never seen such uninteresting companions in an Obsidian game before, and the writing is generally lazy. Not much C&C to speak of either. Feels like a Bethesda game, which I guess is what they were going for, but why?
