exactly this. prior to my machinarium and botanicula knee-jerk reaction my only experience with point and click games were the secret of monkey island special edition and the walking dead.
The genre just doesn't jive with me it seems and as much as I'd like to enjoy every type of game I'm beginning to realize that I guess I'm just not that enlightened. And while the amanita design games are lovely experiences (art and sound) the minimalist story telling doesn't really do it for me either.
with all that said, let me give you my .02 on KoA: It sucks and that's with 22 hours played. Initially you think it's a good game because it has a refreshing action oriented combat system and a few neat ways to build your character but then you realize you care nothing for the story at all and all of the quests were obviously placeholder for the mmo that it was designed to be.
It's basically 3d streets of rage fantasy edition. Without the mindless fun these games provide in coop.
