Hello  
I have loved MI2, TWP, Full Throttle Remastered, DoTT and The Dig (very much this last one, loved the airy SF-aspect). I played Deponia and found it a bit stupid (combining random objects witth little logic gets old really fast). I didn’t like the Fate of Atlantis (it felt a bit limited and far-fetched, too).  
So, what do you recommend I should play ?  
Thanks guys!

The basis. Maybe in reverse order: MI1, Zak, MM.  
I didn’t mention Indy3 since you didn’t like indy4, but I liked it a lot.

Obviously: MI1, Sam & Max Hit the Road, Loom (EGA).

Not obviously: The Longest Journey, Syberia, Gemini Rue, Space Quest 1 VGA… And so many more.

I strongly recommend MI 1 and Curse of Monkey Island to you. 😉

Grim Fandango Remastered also might be a good choice, especially thanks to the new point & click mode.

Zak McKracken and Maniac Mansion are older and not everyone’s cup of tea, because there are less hints and there are dead ends, especially in MM.

@Mikymike MI1 is so obvious it shouldn’t even need mentioning. 😉

I really liked Loom.

Since you liked The Dig maybe you’d be into Primordia.

My wife says The Cat Lady is good.

Wait, what? They’re better than Sam & Max. #shotsfired

I couldn’t get into Gemini Rue. I only played TLJ for the first time a few years back and thought it was definitely worth my while.

S&M is a different type of adventure, more like DOTT, which OP liked, but yeah I enjoyed TLJ and Syberia more as well. And I agree with Primordia.

I like DOTT too. A lot. I don’t recall if I played Sam & Max before or after, but I played MI1, MI2, DOTT and Sam & Max around '01/'02/'03. It was perfectly decent. I finished it. But I liked it less than all the others mentioned as well as various other games I played around the early 2000s, such as MI4, Discworld Noir and Broken Sword.

I would also agree with the OP that Fate of Atlantis isn’t necessarily the greatest _puzzle_ game, although I certainly wouldn’t say I dislike it as a whole. The story is fairly well written, the looks are gorgeous, and there are also a few really good puzzles. But it’s not Monkey Island. Sometimes it feels a bit tedious. That describes Sam & Max as well in a nutshell. Parts of it are somewhat like a throwback to pre-Monkey Island and as I recall it definitely lags in the middle.

I’m not saying one should avoid Sam & Max. It’s one of the classics. But you should definitely also play TLJ, much more obviously imo. 😉 Syberia is harder to recommend as a game but it’s a pretty neat experience all the same.
