Best of 2026…? (So Far)
I think it’s fair to say that 2025 was an embarrassment of riches for this genre, and so many top-tier games dropped!
My personal faves were Foolish Mortals, The Drifter, Seance of Blake Manor, Kathy Rain 2
From a personal perspective, I much prefer adventure games that are more ‘puzzle’ than ‘narrative’ (I’d much rather play a Thimbleweed Park instead of an Unavowed)
So what are people’s recommendations from 2026 now we are 1/3 through? Can anyone point me to some great picks?
Games I’ve loved - Thimbleweed / Lucy Dreaming / Unusual Findings / Will of Arthur Flabbington / Darkestville Castle / Hobs Barrow / Foolish Mortals / Monkey Islands / The Drifter / Lorelei & the Laser Eyes / Seance of Blake Manor / Deponias
For some reason I don’t think I’ve yet to play any new 2026 releases
