What are some great games that require you to bust out a notebook and pen? (lemmy.ml)

I just got finished with beating Riven for the first time. I adored the way the game seeped into my real life with pages of notes about the world I was discovering. Are there any other games that can match this feeling? That really work best when you have a journal in hand?

Darkside is considerably harder. It's easier when you finish Clouds first but you quickly reach a point where it also gets harder. I think a balanced party composition is also even more important.

When I was a child I didn't understand that it was turn based. So whenever there was a monster I rapidly clicked the fight button without much regard to strategy. Made it even harder. Don't think I managed to beat either game back then.

I thought that too for a while! I had played Lands of Lore first, and I just assumed MM worked the same way.

I liked Lands of Lore a lot, but it terrified me at times.
