Best place to buy/acquire adventure games?
Hi all
Obviously the store or steam is a great resource but how would I go about buy a game such as Black Mirror? Ive heard its a gem
I dont live stateside so dont have as much access to games as the americans do
Thanks
Chumley
I just got Black Mirror 2 and 3 at half-price books, they look fabulous.
I would recommend Amazon.com or simply download them from the adventure shop.
I enjoy playing adventure games on my Alienware M17 r4 and my Nintendo Switch OLED.
I would recommend Amazon.com ...
You can only buy games at Amazon.com if you live in the USA.
Best places to buy adventure games for download is IMO: GOG, The Adventure Shop, Steam and sometimes Gamesgate. Note that the Adventure Shop has both a US and EU version and the US version is actually cheaper, but has a few less games.
You have to play the game, to find out why you are playing the game! - eXistenZ

If we’re talking physical products, Amazon.com ships outside the US if it’s mentioned on the specific product.

These are the places where I buy games.
Also, sometimes
Big Fish Games
Green Man Gaming

One should also keep their eyes peeled for the different bundle sales. Indie Gala, Indie Royale, Humble Bundle etc. They often include a few adventures.

Well, Amazon does have a UK shop and a German shop:
So maybe Amazon has a shop for his country or can use one of the UK, US or German shoops

You can buy digital products in amazon.com but you have to put a fake US address, but it works.
Amazon.co.uk also has a digital games store now but the selection is short so far
There’s some sort of regional restriction with the first Black Mirror, you can’t buy it outside certain countries. Gamersgate has it, for example, but you can only buy it from North America.

Yeah, it was offered in that void slot thing to other countries too but the whole thing is scrapped now, at least in most places. Would have played it if I had known it was going to be available just for half a year or something like that.

Trying to think if it’s available somewhere else, but I don’t recall actually seeing the game sold anywhere.
Pretty easy to find on eBay, at least.

Well, for example - Amazon does have a UK shop and a German shop:
I checked with Amazon.com and they said they have stores in the following countries:
Brazil Canada China France Germany India Italy Japan Spain United Kingdom
So odds are good that Amazon has a shop for his country.
Finally, I’ve bought LOTS of adventure games from EBAY - I’ve always gotten the game and got it promply. I buy games from other countries this way often.

The best place to buy an adventure game is directly from its developer (if they offer such a service) as this means (a little) more of the money will go to the people actually responsible for the making of the game. Otherwise, as mentioned earlier, Adventure Shop and GOG are great webshops which deserves to be supported aswell.
Duckman: Can you believe it? Five hundred bucks for a parking ticket?
Cornfed Pig: You parked in a handicapped zone.
Duckman: Who cares? Nobody parks there anyway, except for the people who are supposed to park there and, hell, I can outrun them anytime.

Yeah, whenever it is possible I also try to buy directly from the developers.

As wilco said, so far it is really only the US Amazon that has a catalogue of AG that makes it worth it, but that can of course change in the future.
