Hi everybody, I'm somewhat a collector when it comes to adventure games but since the Steam store got pretty huge over time I somehow lost track of all the great adventure games in the depths of the store. So I ask you, if you know any great adventure games which are really worth playing. By adventure games I mean Point & Click Adventures,adventures in the style of MI4 and Grim Fandango and in the style of Myst. I don't count The Cave as adventure for example. And I'm not looking for hidden objects games either. Just the classic adventures (don't have to be on Steam).

To help you not to suggest a game I already own, I will list the adventures in my collection here.

You mentioned that you like games like Myst, well, why not get the entire Myst series? They are all good. Anyway, here are some other recommendations:

Schizm: Mysterious Journey - Very MYST-like and quite challenging. I did not enjoy part 2 all that much, but part 1 was great.
Shadowgate - Old School point & click adventure game. Atmospheric, challenging and with a great soundtrack.
Still Life - A good mystery thriller that I would highly recommend. I've not played Post Mortem or Still Life 2 yet (Post Mortem is part of the Still Life series), but I've heard that they are not quite as good.
Scratches - Horror adventure game with some really good puzzles, and a cozy "haunted house" feel.
Gabriel Knight series - Classic point & click series. Well worth playing.
Gray Matter - By the creator of Gabriel Knight. Good story and some nice puzzles.

Yes, I played Amerzone which is somewhat myst-like, so I will definitely get the series, too.
Your list looks promising.

Thanks so far for all of your posts. I read something about titles I knew before but did not take a closer look, which turned out to be very promising and I heard about new titles which look like exactly the thing I am looking for.

Will take a fair amount of time playing all of these games..but we all know it's worth it :D
