Not really "modern", but the remade Broken Sword 1/2 on android have been really entertaining and fun (but a little short and abrupt in the endings), and Broken Sword 5 (the new one) is not bad too.

Skyrim. Many adventures to be had.

Haven't played it myself yet, but heard great things about the Walking Dead game being a largely point-and-click puzzle-solving game that might be what you're looking for: https://www.telltalegames.com/walkingdead/

Wolf among us by telltale is awesome although pretty short.

The wolf among us is fantastic!

I'm currently playing through Pokemon SoulSilver, which is a remake of Pokemon Silver. IMO it's the best Pokemon (though I've not played X&Y).
