Starcraft 2?

Nope, very much the wrong genre too.

2nd screenshot:

L.A Noire?

Nope.

3rd hint, this one cropped to avoid showing the franchise-give-away player character, with a certain word masked out as well for the same reason:

Is that Bioshock?

Nope. I'll even be generous enough to say it's not any of the Bioshock games.

Since the most recent screen capture says ship and it's not any Bioshock, I'm guessing that this is Close To The Sun.

Nope. And the ship is only one area of the game. It's also docked the whole time.

Sinking Island?

Nope.

A further hint - if I'd left the player character in the 3rd screenshot, just about everyone would know which franchise/series the game is from right away, though not necessarily which specific game it is. It's actually one of the lesser talked about titles from the series.

Syberia 3?

Somewhat older and much more more actiony than Syberia 3.

Hmm. It must be 3rd person then, if you can see a well-known protagonist in a screenshot?

Must be indeed! Even many, if not most, non-gamers would recognize this protagonist, I would think. At least in the U.S., and in parts of the world that consume lots of U.S. media.

The first 2 screenshots were done using a "zoom" feature which is used to look around and zoom in on things in first person, but 99.9+% of the gameplay is in third person.

Ok, I'll have one last wild punt: Shadow of the Tomb Raider?

I can't think of many 3rd person action-adventure games that have a highly recognisable main character, besides Tomb Raider or Indiana Jones. However, I haven't played any of the more recent games in those franchises.
