Indeed, The Cave had good visuals, but extremely boring gameplay. I understand what he was going for, but it just didn't work. Way too much running back and forth to place your characters in a certain place, and all the running took way too much time.

Deathspank was mildly amusing, but got tired very fast. It was visually flimsy and felt underdeveloped overall; it wasn't a good RPG, but it wasn't a good action game either, and it was a terrible adventure game.

Admittedly neither of those games are classical point and click games. It may well be that he's just much better at designing point and clicks than at the other game genres.
