Are Quest for Glory games really adventure games? I see them more as RPGs

They’re Adventure RPG hybrids.

Well might as well add my favourites to my list:

-Quest for Glory III
-Quest for Glory IV
-Quest for Glory V

Also I’ve seem some people added SOMA to their lists. Now that is definitely not an adventure game imo. It’s survival horror, big difference. I also don’t see Portal 1 and 2 as adventure games but that’s just me.

I don’t see it. I’d call it a stealth adventure or walking simulator if anything. If Journey and Amnesia and What Remains Of Edith Finch are allowed, SOMA should be.

I’ve only played SOMA out of those and imo it’s 100% survival horror. Might as well now allow games like Alien Isolation, Silent Hill etc.

Yeah even though I do like Soma and Portal, I don’t really count them as adventure games either, though I am fine with people including them on their list since they are covered on the site, I won’t be including them in mine.

I do really want to include Gone Home and What Remains of Edith Finch. I’m close to having a list +/- a few titles so I will post mine soon.

I just wanted to mention that the inclusion of games in the AG database here don’t necessarily mean that they qualify for this 100 list as the database does include games that Lady kestrel has requested that you exclude within this post. I.e. just because a game is covered by this site doesn’t qualify it be included just on the basis of that…just saying. 

Lady Kestrel - 02 July 2022 03:54 PM

Please exclude these:
~Role-playing games
~First person shooters
~Action-heavy platformers
~Stealth-heavy games
~Hidden object games

Portal for sure isn’t, it’s a first person puzzle-platformer. Using momentum from portals to make leaps is persistent dexterity and reflex based gameplay. IDK about SOMA but if the game has routine combat, management of scarce consumable resources, and high emphasis on maneuverability, then yeah I’d consider it survival horror.

There is a sometimes thin line between Survival Horror and Horror adventures since they share a common genealogy, but I’d consider those three aspects the difference makers.
