The only thing going for it it's the impeccable art style.<br /><br />Puzzles are rubbish, both the easy and the hard ones. The game thinks it's funnier than it really is, and dialogue can't be skipped. And there's a lot of it.<br /><br />The dream machine would be a great candidate, even if the last episode isn't out yet.RuySanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560670798869378094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-75081201112939009612016-11-09T20:50:43.663+11:002016-11-09T20:50:43.663+11:00Broken Age is otherwise a good pick but might be a...Broken Age is otherwise a good pick but might be a little bit on the tough side - there's some unintuitive puzzles such as the fanxr and hfvat vasbezngvba yrnearq ol gur bgure punenpgre. IIRC it was playtested by experienced adventure gamers.<br /><br />Loom is better in that regard but I dunno about the musical aspect. Not everyone has a good musical ear and using the easier difficulty options makes the system kinda pointless.Laukkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258625692586860655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-32036934658648265962016-11-09T09:48:02.527+11:002016-11-09T09:48:02.527+11:00Simplicity and a good story is key, surely.
Loom ...Simplicity and a good story is key, surely.<br /><br />Loom would make a good choice, perhaps Broken Age because it's newer. I'd probably try them out with Monkey Island too(the remakes, because the graphics and lack of voice acting might otherwise put off a newbie).Andy_Panthrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231815646876343380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-16279390674914243572016-11-09T05:30:26.553+11:002016-11-09T05:30:26.553+11:00I (and majority of the civilized world with me) ho...I (and majority of the civilized world with me) hope that the pantsuits will win this fashion contest.

To be honest, it was only a matter of timing, since she loves all kind of puzzles and most games would do the trick anyway. The only thing she doesn't like is highly pixelated, and old school graphics, so old games, and stuff from Wadjet Eye are off-limits.<br />Ricky Skegghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144956858479226221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-30852615920146927562016-11-09T00:17:29.929+11:002016-11-09T00:17:29.929+11:00I'd imagine something relatively short or ligh...I'd imagine something relatively short or light on plot, with a good interface, not too difficult or experimental and following the LucasArts philosophy would be the way to go.<br /><br />My suggestions:<br /><br />Day of the Tentacle (has excellent puzzle design and is hilarious)<br />Myst (it didn't become the best-selling PC game for no reason)<br />To the Moon (touching story yet is very short and barely has "real" puzzles)Laukkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258625692586860655noreply@blogger.com
