I would add another difference with the classics: in the past the player needed to be more careful when inspecting a scene, because some adventure games were known to artificially increase the difficulty of the game by requiring pixel hunting sessions. With modern adventure games I can assume that it’s unlikely that the developer used tiny hotspots, so I inspect the scene in a more relaxed and less detailed way.
