I played through Case of the Golden Idol after seeing @Vollerei recommend it a couple weeks ago, and am halfway through the sequel. It's not quite as good as Obra Dinn, but it scratches the same itch. I also really liked some of the plot points near the end which were interesting and not the way I would expect a story like that to go (Obra Dinn has some great reveals near the beginning/middle, but sort of peters out near the end). The puzzles are weaker and less intricate on average, but overall it's a good game. I am less impressed with Rise of the Golden Idol so far, but haven't finished it so can't give a full opinion (especially given how Case tied things together so nicely at the end that retroactively made earlier parts better and make more sense. I'm holding out hope for something like that here though it seems less likely to be as good even if they try)
Blake Manor is pleasant, but i don't think it is among the greats. It was pretty easy and the time management mechanics didn't matter nearly as much as I'd hoped.
The Incident at Galley House came out recently and I just finished it. I do think this one is splendid. Great mystery and reveals, plus a neat mechanism for uncovering new scenes. It's a visual reimplemention of Type Help, plus a new great epilogue.
