Mystic quests. A selection of mystical games. The right choice for a large company
An interesting quest, there are a number of unusual puzzles. Friendly administrator. And relatives - the very charm! Of the minuses - some of the caches did not work. So, for example, having found one of them, the administrator on the radio said that it would not be useful to us yet. Looks like it shouldn't have been opened. Well, the atmosphere was a bit lacking - it could have been more ominous music and more screams. But we survived, and it pleases.
Disgusting event and disgusting company! On 12/14/2019, a quest was presented by the Quest-for-everything.rf company called Sherlock. A disgusting room, the props are old, shabby, not to mention the fact that they are catastrophically small. 15 minutes before the start, a girl called me and asked me to stay for 20 minutes, because. they have repair work. Despite the fact that we had planned the participation of 16 people. The room is completely unequipped for receiving participants, they led me into a dark room with 2 hooks on the wall for clothes. There were hints at every turn along the way. We didn't even have time to look around. It feels like they were trying to get us out of there as soon as possible. The quest itself is not interesting at all. To my numerous requests to contact the administration, I received only answers "you will be contacted." As a result, my phone number was blocked by the company. Payment is accepted only by Sberbank-online to some non-resident card, as a result of which the commission was also debited for the transfer. They work without checks. Disgusting work! No compensation for the disrupted event did not wait, not even an apology!
With friends, we completed the escape plan quest, escaped in 48 minutes, this is a success) In the beginning, it was a little creepy to be handcuffed in a prison cell, but in general it was very exciting. Interestingly, the quest rooms consist not only of prison rooms.
I went with my younger sister and her classmates to the "School of Magic" quest. It's amazing that 10-year-old children know everything about Harry Potter)) Both spells and magic wands came in handy) The quest is not difficult, but the animator Hermione helped us)
Was great! The game hour flew by. The three of us experienced deja vu, again plunging into the magical world of Harry Potter - each had his own magic wand, magic spells opened doors, and the sorting hat identified me in Gryffindor))! To be honest, not everything worked out right away, we managed to get out in 55 minutes, although I would not say that the riddles were difficult. Having called for help all their ingenuity and "" magic wand "" finally found a magic potion)
I made a gift for my 14-year-old son for his birthday - he and his friends went on the Ring of the Nibelungen quest. I went on my own and share my experience. I liked the quest, it was difficult, the guys did not have time to complete it, as they say, a couple of minutes were not enough, but the administrators prompted and explained the last task at the end. Detective quest, logic tasks. I guessed with a gift. Thank you and I recommend
Together with my sons and husband, this quest was passed by the mystery of the "Flying Dutchman" - I can say it really captivates, the surroundings are wonderful - there is a mast with a sail, and a helm, and a cabin and a captain's bridge. The only thing is that the room is a bit small, but there were 5 of us, but more would be crowded) I liked it, the puzzles were not difficult, they passed in 45 minutes.
It would seem that the end of the working day ... You put away the time card in the safe, hang the uniform jacket in the closet, and almost one step beyond the threshold, as all the languor of the evening is covered by that same copper basin. The large-scale operation is coming to an end, there are not enough hands, there are not enough cartridges ... yes, a lot of things are missing, because we - proven partners - were cheerfully dragged into final stage Operation "Kapkan". All that's left is to visit the last refuge of the leader of an almost completely liquidated criminal network, and rid the world of the Spider once and for all. It would seem that he has nowhere to go - all accomplices are caught, all accounts are blocked ... But it is not for nothing that he is considered one of the most dangerous and unpredictable criminals of our time. Well, where can he go? Yes, we underestimated the spider, and even though we opened its shelter, the mother of colleagues, and even bypassed a couple of traps ... But then it started spinning! There was not a minute to think, it was necessary to act in order to have time to prevent all the nasty things that the Spider scattered with a generous hand on ... but a fig, and not only on, but also outside his shelter. How can one not remember the honor of the uniform and still punish the bastard for many years ... In fact, the count went on for seconds! And with much more emotion! Quest is very unique. And it fully justifies its name. It was Brain ... oh, how you have to move your brains! And it's wonderful! To begin with, this is a real linear quest, you can’t imagine a linear one. One clearly follows the other, not allowing to relax. There is nothing superfluous, no unnecessary details. Here is the shelter from which the Spider safely escaped, leaving a bunch of traps not only for uninvited guests. There is nothing to distract from the process, everything is decorated minimalistically, and only the right things are at hand. And the more surprising how it was possible to cram so much in such a small room. And in this combination: stuffed with riddles, minimalistic surroundings, the main charm of the game lies - the players are really one on one with the criminal. You cannot get it, but you can manage to prevent trouble, and still catch it. And most importantly - there are no hints. That's it! You are operatives, and you are completely autonomous. The only rule to remember is not to crush or break. It still won't help. So it all depends on how quickly you can get involved in the process. This is not a classic of the genre: I found it - I decided - I applied it - I was delighted - I went on to decide - I could not solve it - I asked for a hint and decided. There is a different principle here: I decided - I exhaled - I cursed at the restless Spider - and decide again - I didn’t decide - I quarreled, ran around and again went to decide. The puzzles are difficult due to the pace of the process, the time for poking everything they found into everything they found would be extremely small, if any. Although if you weigh and think about it, then there is nothing at all transcendentally complicated in the process, except for one moment - no)) The main thing is that attentiveness and observation with memory are activated one hundred percent. Otherwise, everything will end badly... for you and for others. And this is despite the fact that there are several finals))) One could also say about the light and sound components, but ... here a paradoxical picture emerges - one can say that they complement each other, but never mind. Light is just light, a real shelter, and nothing more... but sounds... sounds draw you into the game, especially when you hear crackling behind your back and realize that you are not in time. As a result, we have an excellent quest, implicated in a practically real situation, and focusing not on the surroundings, but on the game component. And it's not for kids. You have to act too hard. It is difficult to recommend this, but it should be in the treasury of the passed. Perhaps someone will turn up their nose, but the game is worth the candle. Well, are you ready to take on the challenge from the Spider? Then go ahead... and remember that this is a knockout game. No, he will not kill you, but living with guilt is much more difficult.

Feedback on the quest "Mysticism (suspense)" from the players who booked the game on our website, successfully visited it and rated it especially for the "World of Quests".
We went to the quest at 4. To say that we are disappointed is to say nothing! The location is small, there is no plot. The whole quest was completed in 40 minutes, and this despite the fact that at first the actor told us the backstory for about 10 minutes. In principle, there were no questions for the actors, they played well. But there was no involvement in the gameplay. In a nutshell: You are launched into a dark room, where there is a lot of smoke, that nothing can be seen through it. They just threw old things into the room and scattered around it the figures that we had to find. While you are in the room, pillows and rags are thrown at you. The quest itself is not fearful, fear consists simply of loud unexpected sounds. Personally, my opinion is that the price of this quest is not justified, for such a quest I would not give more than half the cost of it at the moment. That's all I wanted to say. Thank you.
Alexandra(amateur)I went with friends, some of them were on the quest for the first time. A company of four people, all 14 years old. Everyone really liked it! The riddles are quite difficult, but we coped with the clues. I recommend to pass, the faint of heart is better not to go)))
Julia Krylova(newbie)I was with my wife, my wife was 9 months after giving birth ... After entering, they left after 2 minutes of the game ... My wife started to get scared ... How there was no such briefing ... No explanation was given on the level of fear of the game. On requests to reduce the level of fear, they skated; they didn’t make the music quieter ... They didn’t give the opportunity to continue the quest alone ... As a result, they paid 4 tr. I think the approach is not client-oriented.
Quest comment: hello Konstantin! I would like to draw your attention to the fact that our quest is in the "terrible" section, also on the quest page there is a description of the quest, the complexity of the riddles and the level of fear. Studying the recording of your game, we carefully listened to the briefing, which, for greater immersion, is carried out in a game form. During the briefing, you were warned that our quest is not recommended for pregnant and lactating mothers. Unfortunately, we cannot exclude, at your request, important components of our quest, such as music and fog. It also failed to reduce the level of fear, since the actor did not even have time to appear in front of you. At the same time, we apologize for the behavior of our staff, with whom educational work was carried out. Sincerely, "Dread Room"
Konstantin Gridasov(amateur)Great acting, tense atmosphere, scary, but interesting! Give sweets to the actor!!!
Ludmila Dudar(amateur)Today we visited the Mystic quest. The description says that the quest starts at the threshold. One of his tasks is to find the venue itself. But good guards helped us. Actor Mikhalych occupies great attention. Our entire group of 3 was very busy. Everyone sat, shivering with fear and cold. At the moment of explaining the history of the quest, the majority already at this stage wanted to leave it. We gave money to Mikhalych and went to the gaming room. The music, the background noises and the ambiance were overwhelming. The only man in our company rushed to solve the riddles, and the female owners trembled in the corner. After repeatedly turning off the lights, the entire team decided to leave the quest. (A small disadvantage of being in a room with a computer is the presence of haze, possibly dust. The team literally suffocated from it). Mikhalych persuaded us for a long time to continue the quest, but we were already in hysterics in a hurry to get out of there. We would like to come back for this quest.
Irina Ponomareva(newbie)Thanks to the team for a great adventure!! It was sooooo cool!!! Immersion in the events of the quest already from the threshold. You are met by the character Mikhalych (just BRAVO)). He tells a legend... After you get into the room, a real horror awaits you (but you, after all, came for this))) The situation, the acting - everything is very realistic. The connection is extraordinary! It would seem that!! All!! But... Something went wrong... In general, have time to get out before the darkness swallowed you..... I gave the guys 10 points (out of 10) Well done!!!
Anastasia Kotikova(amateur)So far, the coolest quest that has been completed, unlike many of the "most terrible" ones, this one really keeps you in suspense and you don’t know what will happen next (and there are more than 100 quests behind you). Well, there is nothing to complain about, starting from the meeting and ending with the farewell.
Alexey Alexey(guru)They played splendidly, the location seemed huge, the acting was beyond all praise, they didn’t even understand how many of them there were, but definitely not one. Everything is on top! Now I'm taking all my friends there!
Mikhail Kiselyov(amateur)The atmosphere of this quest from the first minutes makes you forget about reality and feel the sinister events that took place here. They held their breath from every slightest rustle or creak, so as not to meet the one we were so afraid of! Frightening darkness, terrifying sounds, excellent acting, logical and interesting riddles - all this cannot but deliver a lot of emotions! Thanks a lot!
Natalya Filkina(amateur)Great quiz, really enjoyed it. The meeting was simply magnificent, we immediately plunged into the atmosphere. The quest itself is very unusual and peculiar, this has not yet been seen! The perfect balance between solving mysteries and procrastinating brickwork! Most of all I liked the large open space, at some point we thought that we had left the building)))) Well done guys, 10 out of 10!!!

The quest was canceled by the organizers. Without warning in advance - this is one time, for some reason they initially deceived that the actors were delayed - these are two, about the fact that the site was flooded they reported at the very last moment - this is three. Complete disrespect for visitors, waste of someone else's time.
Quest comment: Olga, we are sorry that your team was not able to take part in the quest. The organizer informed us that he is in touch with you and is ready to provide discounts as an apology for what happened. We hope you find time to revisit the location and finally play Mystique. Sincerely, The World of Quests team
Olga Gavrilova(amateur)First we visited the second project of the company - Diagnosis, which left very bright and positive emotions. Therefore, it was worth knowing that the guys had another quest, especially a non-contact one, we immediately decided - let's go! The game starts from the threshold, or rather, from the colorful watchman Mikhalych (a separate bow, he is magnificent), who, not without humor, brings you up to date. Well, everything is extremely simple - we were again “lucky” and we chose a very dumb place for a party. But we are not accustomed to difficulties, and the business is to expel some kind of muck that terrorizes the entire local population. “Pfff, nonsense,” we thought. “Oh, foolish ..”, thought Mikhalych. Yes, we ourselves very soon realized how wrong we were. Despite the fact that more than a dozen quaestors have been passed, we have never seen such a location and approach 😱 Sounds came from everywhere, it seemed that there was not one Essence, but 5 pieces, and only Mikhalych tirelessly cheered us up and guided us. In short, we went out in complete delight, it was really very, very scary. Guys are great, thank you!
Victoria Valueva(amateur) Quest MasterI have a lot of performances in different cities on my account, but I have never been to such a frank garbage ...... Let's start from the beginning. Entrance. There is no guest area. You have to hang around some sort of dining room. Farther. Background. Oooooooooo long... we go into the "quest". Stupidly dirty, dusty basement littered with rubbish from the garbage heap. I can not see anything. The whole contact is just someone throwing pillows and dirty shoes. Entourage 0, atmosphere 0, acting 0. And by the way, there are only two riddles))) Wasted money and time. I absolutely do not recommend
about a year ago
Great course, we all loved it!

Mystic. It is difficult to give it a clear definition. This includes all genres whose names even hint at something strange. It all started in the 90s, when no one knew about the X-Files TV series. But after its release, all films and video games that have supernatural elements, but at the same time they themselves “do not reach” the real ones, are usually classified as mysticism.
Here we will talk about best games in the adventure genre with elements of mysticism that have come out over the past few years, as well as to mention a few more "older" projects. So let's get started.
Blair Witch
1990s, the same forest from the cult film. Private detective goes in search of the missing boy, but soon some kind of devilry begins to happen around. A journey full of screamers and hallucinations leads the hero to the home of the Blair witch. But what are these manifestations of the supernatural or the games of an inflamed mind?
control
The Federal Bureau of Control is an extremely mysterious organization that investigates cases related to the paranormal. When it is invaded by creatures from another world, a girl named Jesse Fayden becomes humanity's last hope for salvation.
The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters
A terrible story about demons has been continued: you have to explore the corridors and classrooms of an educational institution and even get out of it - a whole area of the city is now in the grip of evil supernatural forces. An exciting storyline, interesting and unpredictable AI will not leave you indifferent in this adventure.
Silent Hill 2
Dishonored
Alan Wake
Alan Wake was originally developed by Remedy Entertainment (who worked on Max Payne) as a temporary exclusive for the Xbox 360, after which the game was ported to the PC. In the center of the plot is the writer Alan Wake, who will uncover the dark secrets of the small town of Bright Falls.
At night, his wife goes missing, and the main character begins to be pursued by possessed people. And although the plot is full of mysteries and mysticism, the gameplay of Alan Wake is based on action.
Phantasmagoria
Released on as many as 7 discs, Phantasmagoria can be safely called the epitome of interactive films of the mid-90s. The game was released in 1995, and due to the huge amount of sexual content and elements, it generated controversy regarding the age restrictions. Because of all this hype, Phantasmagoria deservedly received the status of a bestseller.
It's not that fun to play now. The gameplay is not impressive and the whole action looks "wooden", not to mention the weak script. We can say that Phantasmagoria has not passed the test of time. Nevertheless, the game has become one of the most successful work renowned game designer Roberta Williams.
Gemini Rue
Gemini Rue has been hailed by critics as a great return to the roots of graphic adventure games. And the noir story once again confirmed that the Wadjet Eye Games studio deserved its success. The game was released in and intentionally executed in retro style, which can be traced in everything: from graphics to gameplay mechanics. The main action takes place in the 23rd century, and the sci-fi narrative is characterized by a large number of unexpected plot twists.
The game was loved not only for its interesting gameplay and story, but also for the graphics, which make it look like a classic retro adventure. Gemini Rue is where you move between locations, collect items, talk to NPCs, and solve puzzles.
The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery
The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery is an FMV game from the Sierra studio, the second part in the series, which tells about the private detective Gabriel Knight, who, this time, is trying to hunt down a werewolf. The plot of the game intricately intertwines German folk mythology and real facts from the history of Bavaria. Among the locations are the famous Neuschwanstein Castle and dense forests, revealing the secrets of which, the main character will be able to find the lost opera of the German Richard Wagner and find out the truth about the death of Ludwig II.
The gameplay is video inserts with real actors who perform all necessary actions. The game was sold on six CDs, making it one of the biggest games ever released in 1995. However, today it can be downloaded at a time.
Her Story
Deadly Premonition
If you consider yourself a fan of the cult TV series Twin Peaks, then most likely you have already come across Dead Premonition. Obviously, when creating the script for their game, Access Games studio was inspired by David Lynch's masterpiece. You play as an FBI agent who comes to a small town to investigate a murder. And if it is quite easy to find the criminal, then it will be much more difficult to understand what forces control the city.
The Wolf Among Us
The Wolf Among Us is another hit from the studio, based on a series from the Fables universe (Tales). The main action takes place in Fabletown, in which the heroes of all the favorite fairy tales are forced to coexist in the world of people. You control Bigby the Big Gray Wolf, the Sheriff of Fabletown, whose job it is to watch the Tales and keep them from attracting unnecessary attention.
He soon faces a series of murders. Apparently, someone decided to get rid of the Legends, and this someone is clearly "one of his own." The gameplay includes collecting evidence and interrogating suspects.
Like other games from the Telltale Games studio, The Wolf Among Us was released in episodes and consists of five parts. After you beat the game, keep in mind that the studio is actively working on a sequel.
Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy
Tex Murphy
Tex Murphy is a fairly old PC series where you can take on the role of private detective Tex Murphy. The main action takes place in the 21st century, namely in the city of San Francisco. The release of the first part of the series took place back in 1989, so the gameplay mainly consists of point-and-click elements and is based on exploration, collecting clues and interacting with NPCs. All this in order to solve the next puzzle.
All things considered, cutscenes are cutscenes.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is an adventure game about a private detective, Paul Prospero, who receives a letter from a boy named Ethan Carter.
Inspired by its contents, he travels to Ethan's hometown, but ends up facing tragic circumstances. Your main task is to find the missing boy and solve the mystery of his disappearance.
Gameplay is mostly based on exploration open world and looking for clues that will help to understand not only the fate of Ethan, but also to connect a series of murders. Game process includes a number of puzzles. But if you were counting on a long story with a lot of mysteries, then full walkthrough, which takes about four hours on average, may disappoint you.
Thimbleweed Park
Thimbleweed Park became a hit right after release. was developed by the Terrible Toybox studio and was considered the spiritual successor to the beloved Maniac Mansion. This is an adventure game in which you investigate a murder that took place in a small town. Like Maniac Mansion, this is a point-and-click quest where you can explore the available locations, collect clues and interact with some rather strange characters.
The game is often compared to the Twin Peaks series and projects from, which are very similar in humor and lightheartedness. If you consider yourself a fan of the adventure genre and appreciate an interesting story with elements of mysticism, then Thimbleweed Park is definitely not to be missed.
Friends, hello everyone. The Gamebizclub team is on the air, and today we are starting to analyze the next genre computer games and tell you about the best quests on PC.
What is a quest? This is a puzzle game where you will solve riddles, solve problems and make difficult decisions as you move through the storyline. The genre is not as popular as or, but people appreciate it not only for the gameplay and puzzles.
A quest (sometimes also called a walker) is, first of all, an interesting plot with sharp turns that you will “live” with the main character. And this is one of the few genres that can be translated into real life.
We have made a ranking of the top quests that have been released since the beginning of the genre, included new and old games, and made a list according to the degree of interesting plot and the quality of the gameplay. Let's add that most of games translated into Russian. And now - to the rating.
From this article you will learn:
12 Leisure Suit Larry
We decided to give the last place on the list to Leisure Suit Larry - a series of games not for small children.
The main feature of "Handsome Larry" is a constant love subtext. Main character named Larry, in the course of his adventures, tries to seduce girls, moving to various locations - hotels, beaches, casinos and resorts.
He is looking for love, but finds only adventure on his head. Each part has different scenery and plot, the number of piquant moments increases, but the point is the same - to choose a girl and "force" yourself to fall in love in different ways.
The game is suitable for adults - you can have fun watching Larry's unsuccessful attempts to seduce another beauty. But the younger generation should be more careful and not take on faith the events and actions of the protagonist.
Yes, he has charisma and pressure in an effort to seduce. But sometimes he acts stupidly and childishly, not caring about the consequences.
The last part of Leisure Suit Larry: Land of the Lounge Lizards was released in 2013. Look for a publication in Russian, otherwise you will be tormented with dialogues and correct answers.
11. Back to the Future: The Game
In eleventh place is Back to the Future: The Game is the sequel to Back to the Future by Telltale Games. The game is available on PC, IOS, PlayStation and Xbox - in other words, on almost all platforms. Plus, there is a Russian language, although those who have watched the movie about Doc and Marty at least once will complete the game without it.
The game turned out to be dynamic and exciting. Together with the heroes, you have to solve tasks of varying complexity - look for Doc's notebook, rescue Arthur McFly, correct Doc's mistakes in the distant past, fight the Tannen crime family, and much more. You are waiting for simple puzzles and an interesting plot that goes beyond the events of the film.
The script for the game was written by the creator of the original trilogy, Bob Gale, so Back to the Future: The Game can be considered a kind of continuation of the film Back to the Future. The game was released in 2010 directly on the PC and in mobile version on iPhone and iPad, and is now available on everything except Android.
10. The Neverhood
We give the tenth place to Neverhood, a masterpiece about the plasticine world, released by Earthworm Jim in 1996. In Russian, its name was distorted as best they could - there were variants of "Nebylshchina", "Nevervkhudo" and others.
According to the plot, the main character in the form of a plasticine worm goes to explore the same plasticine world. He must collect twenty cassettes, put them together into a movie and see what happens in the game.
The main features of The Neverhood are a cool storyline and an unusual plasticine world. The basis of the story appeared in 1988, and Steven Spielberg and his DreamWorks studio helped to realize it. When creating the game, they used more than three tons of plasticine, reviving the characters and creating unusual conditions without clichés and stereotypes. Tenth place - for a creative and non-standard approach, close to art.
9. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
In ninth place is The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - a detective quest in the best traditions of the famous detective from Baker Street. This series of games based on the works of Arthur Conan Doyle has been released since 2002. Each part is a separate story about the life and history of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
The main advantage of the series is the atmosphere. You will enter the role of a famous detective, investigate crimes, solve non-standard tasks, communicate with suspects and use the deductive method where possible. And all this in the entourage of London in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
For all the time since 2002, eight parts of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes have been released. Some parts have been re-released to meet modern PC requirements. The last part under the title came out in 2016.
8 Valiant Hearts: The Great War
In eighth place, Valiant Hearts: The Great War is an interesting quest about the First world war, made in 2.5D format.
The plot tells about four people who were at the front. Moreover, the war is only the background against which the main events in the life of the Frenchman Emil, his son-in-law Karl (German), the nurse Anna (Belgian) and the American Freddie take place.
This company will have to endure many trials - they are literally thrown from one delicate situation to another. Unlike other similar stories, there are no bad and good characters. Anna assists in the treatment of both the French and the Germans. Emil and Carl work side by side and successfully eliminate formidable opponents.
The game tells about the war so simply and casually that you don’t feel the tragedy at all. The gameplay is standard but fun. Most of the tasks are typical for quests: find, twist and solve the problem.
Difficulties with the performance of tasks should not arise - everything can be solved. In which case, a small dog will come to the rescue, which equally faithfully serves all team members, brings various objects, distracts enemies and crawls where the heroes are not able to crawl through.
Valiant Hearts: The Great War is an interesting walker about war and the fate of people surviving in difficult times. The game was released in 2014 in Russian and is available on all platforms.
7. Samorost 3
Seventh place goes to Samorost 3 - a quest about the exciting adventures of a brave dwarf, dragons and knights. The game was released in 2015, five years after development began.
According to the story, the main character in the form of a gnome finds a strange flute near his house. Using a flute, he goes on a journey through space, goes from planet to planet, communicates with local residents and helps them solve problems. As a result, he ends up in the monastery of the monks who created the flute, revives the mechanical knight and helps defeat the dragon.
The main feature of Samorost 3 is unusual tasks that go far beyond the boundaries of ordinary logic. You will have to stick a key into the belly of an insect, squeeze bubbles on turtle shells, lead the chorus of crocodiles and much more. We add that there are almost no dialogues in the game, and the main thoughts of the protagonist appear in the form of pop-up clouds.
The developers were able to create an amazing and beautiful world, from which it is impossible to break away. Samorost 3 is worth playing for the sake of an extraordinary plot, beautiful implementation and unobtrusive humor.
6. Machinarium
In sixth place, we put Machinarium, a fantastic robo-quest in the style of point-and-click, released in 2009. Immediately after the release, Machinarium gained a large number of fans from different countries due to simple controls, beautiful graphics and a non-linear plot. This is one of the few adventure games on PC that captivates at first sight.
The protagonist of Machinarium is Yosef, a cleaning robot, who must save the city of Machinarium from the Gang of Black Hats and free his beloved girl from captivity. The only logical inconsistency awaits at the beginning of the game - due to the lack of an introductory video, it is not clear why the main character ended up in a landfill and where he got a girlfriend from.
The virtual adventure of the mechanical cleaner is really exciting, thanks to the fact that the game contains cool puzzles that are not so easy to solve. The peculiar style of the game deserves special attention.
Robotic characters do not utter a word - all the emotions of the characters are expressed appearance, and desires and memories are shown in a small cloud next to Josef.
But the most outstanding thing about Machinarium is the atmosphere and beauty. The developers came up with and drew an amazing world in which robots, not devoid of human qualities, live under the yoke of strict and soulless mechanisms.
5. L.A. noire
Fifth place goes to L.A. Noire is a detective simulator at the intersection of action and adventure genres, released in 2011 on PC. The detective quest is made in the style of GTA, and this is not surprising, because it was developed by the same company - Rockstar Games.
The action takes place in a gloomy post-war Los Angeles. You will find yourself in the role of police detective Cole Phelps, you will solve crimes, look for evidence, expose criminals.
There are two types of missions in the game - story missions, during which you will find yourself in the center of events, as well as secondary missions, the passage of which gives additional experience. Secondary tasks can be received by radio - you will be called to the scene of a "fresh" crime and asked to catch the criminal in hot pursuit.
During the investigation, you will interrogate people. Inferences about what a particular person said can be drawn from the facial expressions and gestures of the suspects. This will help MotionScan technology, making faces truly realistic.
Each successful interrogation brings new experience points that increase the level of the protagonist. These points can be exchanged for various improvements: increase hp, buy clothes with a bonus to protection, pump intuition. The last point is especially important - intuition directly affects the investigation process, simplifies interrogation and allows you to recognize lies and deceit.
L.A Noire is a complete police investigation simulation. From the quest here is the search for clues and answers to questions, and everything else is pure action, very reminiscent of GTA. Successful combination, thanks to which the game is in fifth place. Move on.
4. The Walking Dead: The Game
Fourth place goes to The Walking Dead: The Game, one of the best zombie apocalypse quests of all time released between 2011 and 2013. It ranked third in our zombie game rankings and will stay at the top until something much better will come up.
The Walking Dead: The Game evokes strong feelings and emotions - all thanks to a well-crafted script. Here you will not get any pleasure from the destruction of the walking dead, but will focus on relationships with people you meet during the story.
The main character, a black guy named Lee, is one of the few survivors of the tragedy. Fleeing from the zombies, he enters the house and meets a little girl named Clementine. Her parents are somewhere far away, so he decides to help the child survive and escape - together they will go through many trials, meet friends and enemies, survive and look for relatives.
The Walking Dead: The Game is a game, a movie, and a powerful story that touches the heart. Some moments make the heart tremble, the endings of the third and fourth parts will give an emotional charge more abruptly than any film.
And a little cartoonish graphics does not spoil the game in any way, but on the contrary, it makes it better and more interesting. And instead of a thousand words, let's say - install, go through and take your time. It'll be cool!
3.Syberia 3
Bronze goes to Syberia 3, an adventure quest released in 2017 in the steampunk genre. Translated into Russian, the name translates as Siberia, which is not entirely correct - the game takes place not in the snowy Russian region, but on an island called Siberia.
You will find yourself in the role of a lawyer girl named Kate Walker, who goes to Siberia - a world filled with mammoths, unusual people and mysteries of varying complexity. In the process of passing you will change the life of the Yukol people, communicate with many characters, enjoy breathtaking views and solve exciting puzzles.
The plot of the game is a separate story, so it is not necessary to know the history of the two previous parts and go through them again. The main events take place in Chernobyl, but again in a different one.
Therefore, do not draw any parallels - Syberia 3 has almost nothing to do with Russia. Although there are some hints - on the street you can meet rusty Zhiguli, strange people in funny clothes walk the streets, and the like. In general, accidents are not accidental, then think for yourself. We add that the Russian voice acting turned out to be much better than the English one, so look for the Russian version.
Syberia 3 turned out to be controversial - on the one hand, it's the good old Benoit Sokal's Siberia with an exciting story, modern graphics and complex puzzles. On the other hand, it is difficult to manage Kate due to the “sharpness” for consoles, the inability to save manually and skip dialogues.
But still, Syberia 3 is a whole world, strange and bewitching, filled with mysteries and colorful characters. It's worth your time, trust me.
2. Grim Fandango Remastered
Silver goes to Grim Fandango Remastered, a re-released quest about an agent from the afterlife, released in 2015. The first version of the game was released by LucasArts back in 1998 - then Grim Fandango caused a sensation in the world of computer games.
And Remastered managed to surpass the original due to modern graphics, high-quality voice acting, and most importantly, the preserved atmosphere original game- all because both versions are made under the direction of Tim Schafer.
You will find yourself in the role of the main character named Manny Calavera, exiled by a travel agent to the Department of Death for sins. He sells vouchers to newly arrived souls on a journey through the afterlife - if a person sinned little during his lifetime, then he can travel by comfortable train or private car, and if he was a sinner, he will go on foot.
Manny must sell trips to several righteous people in order to be freed from this job and leave the afterlife.
According to the story, Manny meets the righteous Meche, who for some reason did not get a train ticket and went on a hiking trip through the afterlife. He decides to correct the injustice and help the girl reach her goal. On the journey, they will find many adventures, events, interesting meetings, secrets and mysteries.
Grim Fandango Remastered is an unusual and somewhat incredible world in which you can hang out for a long time. The adventures of Manny and Meche are captivating, puzzles make you move your brain, and the characters look like real people.
And there is one more bonus - at the end there is a video showing the process of creating the game. Install Grim Fandango and go on an adventure.
1.Full Throttle Remastered
Full Throttle was released in 1995 for PC. The game takes place in the near future, where cars move above the ground with the help of a special air cushion.
The protagonist is a desperate biker named Ben, who is investigating the murder of the owner of the last factory that produces vehicles on wheels.
According to the plot, Ben must prevent the main villain, Ripburger, from closing the shop that produces motorcycles, return his gang and defeat everyone. And all this to the accompaniment of the rock band The Gone Jackals, with jokes, humor and fights.
All rock songs sound like you were at a real concert. And the voice acting was done anew, the role of Ripburger was played by Mark Hamill from Star Wars.
Full Throttle is an epic biker game with a lot of humor, funny stories, fights, friendship and enmity. The main character is sympathetic, despite the stupid actions. He kicks down the door and says that it was so, beats up enemies on the road with a board and a chain, acts like a hooligan, sleeps next to a garbage can and behaves like a crazy biker.
And the whole game is like this - crazy and crazy, but interesting and memorable. Must have for all fans of computer games.
Summing up
In the past few years, developers have begun to re-release old games. For example, as Tim Schafer, the ideologist of Full Throttle and Grim Fandango, admitted, in his view, it is the reissued versions that are close to the original idea.
Technology has come so far in more than 20 years that you can film popular adventures or release a sequel, as happened with many of the games included in our top. And it's great - old and almost forgotten masterpieces got a second life and a chance to continue the story, and people can remember and plunge into amazing worlds and participate in cool stories embodied in games.
