Unavowed

I recommend this game to everyone that's on a lookout for a very good, exciting story with twists and unexpected turns, while on the other hand doesn't want to spend too much time getting stuck with puzzles. This is exactly, what suits this game, too difficult and illogical puzzles that are often encountered in point'n'click games would ruin the setting of this game.

I'm not a big fan of the art style, but it's passable. A little more variety in the puzzles/mechanics wouldn't have hurt, since walking back and forth talking to everyone about everything gets a bit repetitive after a while. Where the game truly shines are the characters and the story with its plot twists and moral dilemmas. The game also has a certain amount of replayability (unusual for this genre) due to the fact that you tackle every mission with just 2 companions, all of which have unique abilities, leading to different angles for dealing with an issue. Also, props to the developers for not creating dead ends here (something that annoys me to no end in the classic Sierra adventures). Definitely give this one a try.

As mentioned in the title, the first thing I did after finishing this game was to google "games like Unavowed". To put things in perspective I'm not the core audience for adventure games. I played the occasional Longest Journey and Syberia, and little else. I loved the story on Unavowed, the characthers, the straight-forward puzzles and the overall aesthetic. I hate that there isn't a sequel yet.

Surprisingly interesting story and gameplay for a point and click. Check it out!

I am an old adventure game player. Like Maniac Mansion old. I have played Technobabylon and now Unavowed. They offer exactly what i an looking for in an adventure game: good story, good characters, credible and immersive universe. What stands out even more with Unavowed is that you make choices: story choices, party choices witch impact how you experience the story and adds Replayability. Yep. there are different ways to solve the puzzles depending on your party members. You cannot die Sierra style nor get stuck, and puzzles are logical and fun, not irrational or mind bending. So, very fun game. Highly recommend.
