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.
I was really, really impressed by this game. I thought the last Blackwell game really showed Wadjet Eye's growth, and this one hit for me as well. Very interesting backdrop - full of supernatural oddness in a NYC setting. I really liked the team members, too. I especially thought Mandana was cool, the half-human, half-djinn. Her voice actress nailed the part. Most of the folks did, honestly, it's all really well done.
Speaking of teammates, it does the Maniac Mansion thing where you can choose two for each mission. I made sure to try them all, but you'd obviously need to play through again to experience the differing dialogue and solutions to puzzles. I wouldn't say any of them are particularly difficult - very little moon logic here - but I did get occasionally stuck and the few times I looked it was an absolute "derp" moment. So I don't feel bad about it. But I think the story is the main draw over the puzzling.
I definitely recommend this one to adventure-heads. It really hit the spot for its 12-hour runtime. It didn't even feel that long, because I was fully engrossed in the game. 9/10.
