The 3rd one was always my favorite (Curse). The 2D animation and art is the best in the series and they had some of the best performances you'll find in a game. The actor that did Guybrush in Curse is who they're using for these games.

Those first two are classics of course. I don't see the problem with this new one. It's a new MI series, and the cynicism is surprising. It's not going to look like the competition because those games take a long time to make. Telltales system is to release a new episode per month, so it's not going to have as much art direction.
