Deadalic is dead as far as many are concerned, so it's time to honor their memory and vote on the best adventure games they developed.

My favouritest Daedalic game by far is Memoria. It might even be the best AG of the last 15 years for me. Harvey's New Eyes is also supercool, and Chaos on Deponia is prob the best of the Deponia series, although it's a close call between it and the first game tbh.

I see Memoria is in the first place so far,I played Chains of Satinav but found it meh and didn't bother with the sequel, is it worth a try if I didn't like Chains that much?

The first two Deponia games are the best ones imo. Memoria is nice too, though a bit on the easier side.

Objectively, Chaos on Deponia is the best one.

However, my personal favourite is Edna & Harvey: the Breakout. 'cause it has massive amounts of interactivity and the old-school verb system.

chains of satinav. there was something about the beauty of backgrounds and the simplicity of the story that i haven't seen in any other game.

Currently playing Memoria is and it's fucking awesome, albeit linear. Gorgeous art, strong female protagonist, and great VO.

Playing through Anna's Quest and it's been a very solid experience thus far. The introduction was loooooooooooooooong and pretty boring. Picks up after Act I. There's an easter egg promoting The Devil's Men

Wrapped up Anna's Quest: a very solid adv game that's definitely on the easy side. I think it's one I will recommend to my nephew, since dark humor aside,it's pretty tame and kid friendly. I did feel like they wanted to expand the end more, given just how much gameplay there is with the other character.

If I dug this, should I give Whispered World and Night of the Rabbit a go? Are those more or less of the same quality?

Dunno about Night of the Rabbit, but I highly recommend against playing The Whispered World. For some weird-ass reason people seem to hold it in high regard, but I thought it was just an endless slog of sliding tile puzzles and the like.

I'd say the two games are harder than Anna's quest. I think Anna's Quest was funnier than the two other games. The tone of Night of the rabbit is a bit different from the tone of Anna's Quest and Sadwick, it's more cute than humourous. I particularly liked Night of the rabbit because of a big section (puzzle-wise what happens next is almost anticlimatic compared with it).

The Whispered World is not for everyone but its mixture of melancholy and humor goes really well with my simple Slavic soul.

Tbh I think most Daedalic games are cringe. And the humor is very, very German. The best is probably Memoria but it's also not up to the best of the genre.
