>First game suffered from pixel hunting and inventory management, thus often fell into Sierra's "dead-man-walking" trap, not to mention that some puzzles literally had no clear solution beyond plain guessing and many items in last section of the game had no use and thus no reason to exist.
>Third game suffered from early 3D animation (which replaced high-quality 2D one for the sake of novelty) and several awful sections of the game (jungles, underworld, jungles AGAIN), not to mention that the entire game is kinda uneventful compared to first two (even though the potential to show more of Malcolm's and Kyrandia's past was there) - feels like the very first part of third game took most of the budget due to vast non-linearity of progressing to the next chapter (there are like six ways to get off Kyrandia).
Second game had a nice balance of inventory management (scrolling screen + game automatically removed all useless items everytime you started a new chapter), puzzle design was nicely balanced (no dumb guessing like in first game, no timewasting like in third game, optional puzzles existed for the sake of easter eggs or extra tidbits of lore in case you didn't want to just rush through the game), variety of locations was nice and main character had a matching attire for each location.
Entire series has great OST, visual style and decent humour, but I still think second Kyrandia game is the best one out of three.
Another unpopular but favourite adventure game of mine is Blazing Dragons.

Wouldn't say "the best" (not to mention a bunch of great retro ones were posted by >>11867010 among non-retro ones) but it's quite memorable to me

Still my favorite adventure game of all time and I played all the classics and then some.

You should play Hand of Fate, it has a potion brewing system and is one of the most charming adventure games out there, the Legend of Kyrandia games are often overlooked.
