The Phantom Fellows has probably the funniest dialog I've ever seen in an adventure game. The characters are wacky, the art is gloriously chunky and glowy, and music is gloriously synthwave. It's also a long one, about 15 hours, depending on how much you want to explore. There are multiple solutions to the puzzles, and overall it's just a blast to play.
The Crimson Diamond keeps all the best parts of 80s parser adventure games and reinvents the annoying bits. Autosaves. A competent parser that accepts shortcuts. Beautiful dithered EGA. A main character who knows her stuff and uses that knowledge. An in-game notebook that keeps track of your progress. Wonderful attention to detail. I could go on and on, but really, you should just hit the buy button and download. Julia Minamata has truly made something special with this game.
