AAA games suck, but Point and Click adventure games are hot garbage meant to sell strategy guides. Fight me.
I have never played a genre of games that I so wanted to love that so violently hated the player.
Nah. Not at all. For every Monkey Island there were like five King's Quest, or worse, King's Quest knockoffs. There is nothing more pointless and worthless to play than a bad adventure game.
Also AAA is a meaningless term.
Wrath of the Druid’s is eternal proof a bad adventure game is capable of being the peak of the genre (until disco came out at least).
Did you mean The Mystery of the Druids? Wrath of the Druids is Assassin's Creed DLC.
The Dig was one of my all time favorites. MIssion Critical is a less known but nicely done one (even if the ideology can be 90s techbro trash sometimes). Primordia has been a more modern take on ye olde point and click titles that I've come to enjoy of late. Keep an eye out on Wadjet Eye games for ones you might like.
Playing Le Chuck's revenge on my first PC is probably one of the fondest memories from my childhood - I couldn't figure out the last voodoo doll puzzle (had to wait until the special edition came out to finally beat it :p ).
Edit: Now that I think about it I might have played it on Easy mode when I was a kid because I can't believe my child version could have figured out the Mega Monkey mode without a walkthrough.
I loved Monkey Island and Broken Sword. Haven't really played anything else in this genre. Recommendations?
I would argue that Disco Elysium is part of this genre.
