Matewis: Still-life is a very good puzzle game about two detectives in two different time periods. It has great atmosphere, a gripping Jack the Ripper esque story and challenging puzzles.
The Longest Journey is another point and click adventure game, with a lesser focus on puzzles compared to Still Life. Great locations, great characters, great story and far more upbeat than the dark and gloomy still life. It's definitely one of the greater classics on gog.
Seeing as how you like puzzle games, I'd be willing to bet that turn-based strategy is right up your alley. Something that is quite easy to get into, and with a decent difficulty curve (occasionally very difficult), is
Disciples 2. It's my alltime favorite fantasy tbs, and the game's intoxicating dark fantasy atmosphere has a lot to with it. From it you can also move onto the legendary
which, on average, cranks up the difficulty level quite, uhm, substantially. There's also [url=http://www.gog.com/game/age_of_wonders]Age of Wonders to consider. Again a totally different fantasy atmosphere, and it has the best combat of the three imo.
If you you're interested in strategy games and like puzzle games, perhaps you'll also like a city builder game? My favorite on gog is
Pharaoh.
Lastly, it's not on gog, yet, but it's the best point and click ever made, and once I come to power I'll decree that it's the best game
ever made! :

I have picked up Age of Wonders from the summer sale, so you got that right, its right up my aisle :)
Hmm been looking into Pharaoh, but not quite sure.
So that is Blade Runner, thought it was a person shooter game -.-
Avogadro6: Generally speaking, you really can't go wrong with Lucasarts and Wadjet Eye adventures; with a few minor exceptions *cough*Resonance*cough*.
I think I should have a spare Steam key for the first Blackwell episode it you're interested.
Oh no thank you. I actually got them, just haven't tried them yet.
johnnygoging: after having actually read the OP thoroughly, I'll also drop a recommendation for discworld 1 and 2. dink smallwood games and the apprentice by herculean effort.
I am suddenly recalled of an adventure game based on an australian guy that used to be in the old shockwave web stuff.
perimeter is a weird rts.
What is Discworld?
Antimateria: I must say in here.. Police quest collection. I have beaten the first and the second and it is weird how much I actually liked second one. It's like must ugly thing you will ever see but it was a good game also it had good music.
I played Secret Agent on DOS, so ugliness doesn't scare me off XD
johnnygoging: game recommendation?
Jade Empire.
Half-Life.
Marlow Briggs.
just off the top of my head. though Jade Empire is a game among games, just like Half-Life.
Half Life is a shooter game, not that much into those kinds. I'll take a look at the others.
Xardas722: and [url=https://www.gog.com/game/american_conquest]American conquest are very good strategy games where you need to build your military base and destroy your enemies.
Tried Cossacks, it reminded me of another game I can't remember at the moment. Not too bad, but yeah, it didn't keep my interest. Assuming we are talking about the same game of course.
