All I Want For Christmas Is You?

Nope.

[casual]

Nope, and nope.
Here's a hint: It's the third (and so far final) entry in a series of casual games.

Resort Tycoon or something like that?

This game doesn't have "Tycoon" in it's name, but you're on the right track.

Nope, nope, and nope.

Hopefully this screenshot helps.


EDIT:
Here's a hint. The name of the movie, is also the name of a popular song. 

Looks like you are correct.

Such beautiful backgrounds in that game. 

I've never even played the game. I just remember it from that time I read about it in a book about adventure games.
Those beautiful backgrounds are quite memorable.

Next game:

The De"light"ful Dress?   

Nope.

Um interesting one,

Looks British. "going by the building structures"

I'm pretty sure it's an American movie shot in Britain.

Beastmaster 2?

Nope.


Here's another screenshot:

Looks like Syberia.

Wow Danvzare, you are fast! How do you guess it?

I've watched that movie so many times over the years, I'd probably be able to recognize any scene from it. 

Keeping with the theme, another Christmas movie.

The Muppet Christmas Carol?

the richest person alive

I thought Jeff Bezos was the richest person alive.

Blood Harvest?

Wow, that's impressive. I didn't expect someone to get it so quickly.
Your turn. 

I have no idea who Ed Sheeran is.

I had no idea who he is and had to google him.

Thank God - I was starting to think I was stuck in a parallel universe. I know his name, but as for knowing his music or recognising a cameo in other media... 

I know who Ed Sheeran is, but I have been in quite a few conversations where people have been talking about celebrities I've never even heard of, as though everyone knows who they are. Most recently was about someone named Adel.
Who the heck is she? 
Assuming it's a she that is. From the conversation, it sounded like it.

Free Guy?

Ed Sheeran

People who leave me in anticipation for the elaboration of their statement. 

Ooh, looks interesting.
I'm might have to check out the original someday.

Clash of the Titans?

That's brilliant. 
The joke is good, but their reactions help elevate it into being great.

Please do more! 

A free general engine you didn't mention is Godot which seems to have the reputation as the hipsters Unity.  Godot is free and anecdotally has more intuitive features for 2d gaming.  It's very lightweight in terms of design and file size but also surprisingly feature rich.  I played around with it briefly following a platformer tutorial and found it surprisingly intuitive.  3d support as well, no cross platform built in, but apparently there are 3rd party porters.  The amount of engine support and community online seemed pretty healthy.

I completely forgot about Godot, thanks for bringing that up.

I'm not sure why AGS isn't on the "For more generic game engines, you have:" list.

Mostly because "Adventure" is in the name. But that is a good point. AGS is pretty versatile for an engine that was originally made for just adventure games.
Although while it's definitely easy to make non-adventure games with AGS, you've got to admit that a lot of stuff that AGS does is geared towards adventure games, such as inventory items and the walk to function.
I'm fairly sure every engine I listed in the "Adventure Engine" list could support non-adventure games, and it wasn't meant to discredit AGS as being limited or anything. I was just saying that these engines in particular focus on making adventure games, not that they're only for adventure games.

Also worth looking at is PowerQuest from Powerhoof: https://powerhoof.itch.io/powerquest

It's a name-your-price Unity plugin and I've seen it used in Intergalactic Wizard Force, which certainly feels AGS-y from a player's POV.

Ooh, that looks interesting.
