Deponia Doomsday
Chaining inventory logic through puzzle dependencies is the game
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Three-path puzzle chains reward deduction
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
