The best isometric action-adventure games

In isometric action-adventure games the action (and the adventure too...) takes place in an isometric environment. Isometric perspective allow the player to walk around in a 3D environment in a third-person view without the need of real 3D graphics. Like every action-adventure game, isometric action-adventure games can include features of both adventure and action elements: action mini-games, inventory, a story, etc.
