9 Times Critics Ignored INCREDIBLE Video Games
5. Blackwell Series/Technobabylon
Wadjet Eye Games is a small development company that makes point-and-click adventure titles. Under the leadership of founder Dave Gilbert they've developed or published over a dozen games. Wadjet Eye was founded on the success of Gilbert's first game, The Shivah, which won a contest in 2006 put on by Adventure Game Studio. Gilbert later improved The Shivah and produced it as a commercial release.
From there Gilbert moved on to the first game of the Blackwell series - a paranormal detective adventure game. Sporting visuals in a retro style, surprisingly good voice acting that only gets better as the series progresses, and interesting characters to round out the storyline. The Blackwell series is a little heard of, but solid adventure title.
As good as the Blackwell games are, Technobabylon, the joint venture between Wadjet Eye and Technocrat Games is even better. Technobabylon continues the motif of retro graphics, good acting, and an engaging storyline and puts it all in a cyberpunk dystopian setting about mind-melding, terrorism, and genetics.
It holds an 82 on metacritic, but there's a good chance if you're not in the loop on mobile-friendly adventure titles you may never have even heard of Wadjet Eye.
