Below you'll find an overview of Adventure Games that have received a very high rating based on our reviews, the list is sorted based on highest rated Adventure Game first combined with recency of the review we've done.
Conarium (2017)
Conarium’s story is a fine addition to the Lovecraft universe, but doesn’t make for a compelling gaming experience, so only the acclaimed horror author’s devotees will likely find much of interest.
State of Mind (2018)
Many of State of Mind’s ideas sound great on paper, but as an interactive thriller it fails to establish proper stakes, with virtually no challenge, a world with few likeable characters, and a story sparse on purposeful events.
The Birdwatcher (2018)
The Birdwatcher makes for a somewhat enjoyable walking tour of Norrköping, but the detachment of story and gameplay makes for a surprisingly disengaging mystery.
AntVentor (2018)
Consistent enjoyment of AntVentor is hindered by its gameplay frustrations, but its charming main character and gorgeous visual design make for an interesting first stepping stone for the rest of the trilogy.
Hostil (2017)
Hostil feels like the bare-bones outline of a survival tale in an alien landscape. There’s enough effort and polish to demonstrate a legitimate attempt at a serious narrative, but it’s disappointingly hamstrung by its own brevity to really be effective.
Karma. Incarnation 1 (2016)
Although an aesthetically impressive achievement, the surreal Karma. Incarnation 1 is unfortunately let down by a confusingly abstract story that can be completed more by just following available steps than by any extensive thought.
Trackless (2017)
Trackless feels like it’s trying to offer some kind of social commentary, but any deeper meaning remains unclear, and nothing of any substance is ever revealed. In the end, that leaves us with a cool blend of puzzle styles that is perhaps worth a single cursory playthrough for those looking for something a little different.
Black Mirror (2017)
A brief reboot of the cult classic series, Black Mirror does well to pile more richly atmospheric doom and gloom on the Gordon family, but is hobbled by creaking mechanics and poor design decisions.
Old Man’s Journey (2017)
Old Man’s Journey isn’t so much a game as it is an interpretive tale one can experience, though it does at least hold some emotional value. It’s a bit repetitive, but too short to really become a bother, and may appeal to players looking for a somber tale to while an afternoon away with.
Agatha Knife (2017)
Although Agatha Knife boasts strong writing and eye-catching artwork, its design problems ultimately crush much of the fun prospective players are likely to find.
Doorways: Holy Mountains of Flesh (2016)
Awkwardly blending puzzles and platforming in uneven measures, the frequently un-scary Doorways: Holy Mountains of Flesh is nevertheless a marginal step up from its predecessors.
Paul Pixel: The Awakening (2016)
If you enjoy retro sounds and graphics, Paul Pixel may be worth the amusement it provides in its very brief play time, but you’ll need to accept a lack of any depth in both story and gameplay.
The Descendant (2016)
Despite the polished presentation, The Descendant is by-the-numbers sci-fi that rarely ventures out of its modest comfort zone. It won’t win an Emmy, but it does manage to entertain throughout its five brief episodes.
The Descendant: Episode 1 - Aftermath (2016)
Despite the polished presentation, The Descendant is by-the-numbers sci-fi that rarely ventures out of its modest comfort zone. It won’t win an Emmy, but it does manage to entertain throughout its five brief episodes.
The Descendant: Episode 2 - Into the Storm (2016)
Despite the polished presentation, The Descendant is by-the-numbers sci-fi that rarely ventures out of its modest comfort zone. It won’t win an Emmy, but it does manage to entertain throughout its five brief episodes.
The Descendant: Episode 3 - What Lies Beneath (2016)
Despite the polished presentation, The Descendant is by-the-numbers sci-fi that rarely ventures out of its modest comfort zone. It won’t win an Emmy, but it does manage to entertain throughout its five brief episodes.
The Descendant: Episode 4 - Cerberus (2016)
Despite the polished presentation, The Descendant is by-the-numbers sci-fi that rarely ventures out of its modest comfort zone. It won’t win an Emmy, but it does manage to entertain throughout its five brief episodes.
The Descendant: Episode 5 - Ultimatum (2016)
Despite the polished presentation, The Descendant is by-the-numbers sci-fi that rarely ventures out of its modest comfort zone. It won’t win an Emmy, but it does manage to entertain throughout its five brief episodes.
The Guest (2016)
Puzzle fans will find The Guest a solid room-escape adventure, while story and exploration fans will have plenty of reservations.
The Bunker (2016)
The story is interesting and production values are high from a visual standpoint, but an almost total lack of anything resembling gameplay, coupled with moments of melodrama means The Bunker is as polarizing an FMV experience as its 1990s kin. It’s not bad, but this isn’t going to sell you on the concept, either.
Tick’s Tales: Up All Knight (2016)
A lighthearted distraction that may be more appreciated by the younger crowd, Tick’s Tales has a degree of charm but never really delves into anything more substantial or interesting.
Dreamfall Chapters (2016)
An ambitious sequel to 2006’s Dreamfall, Chapters is worth playing to see how the saga ends but doesn’t hold up as a standalone adventure.
Dreamfall Chapters: Book One - Reborn (2014)
An ambitious sequel to 2006’s Dreamfall, Chapters is worth playing to see how the saga ends but doesn’t hold up as a standalone adventure.
Dreamfall Chapters: Book Two - Rebels (2015)

Dreamfall Chapters: Book Three - Realms (2015)

Dreamfall Chapters: Book Four - Revelations (2015)

Dreamfall Chapters: Book Five - Redux (2016)
An ambitious sequel to 2006’s Dreamfall, Chapters is worth playing to see how the saga ends but doesn’t hold up as a standalone adventure.
Knee Deep (2015)
Knee Deep is proof that, while it may sound great on paper, a game needs more than neat ideas to come together successfully. A swamp-noir murder mystery performed on stage is no doubt a novel idea, but the story is far from satisfying, ranging from inconsistent to completely off the rails in the final chapter.
Knee Deep: Act 1 - Wonderland (2015)
Knee Deep is proof that, while it may sound great on paper, a game needs more than neat ideas to come together successfully. A swamp-noir murder mystery performed on stage is no doubt a novel idea, but the story is far from satisfying, ranging from inconsistent to completely off the rails in the final chapter.
Knee Deep: Act 2 - Festival (2015)
Knee Deep is proof that, while it may sound great on paper, a game needs more than neat ideas to come together successfully. A swamp-noir murder mystery performed on stage is no doubt a novel idea, but the story is far from satisfying, ranging from inconsistent to completely off the rails in the final chapter.
Knee Deep: Act 3 - Boomtown (2016)
Knee Deep is proof that, while it may sound great on paper, a game needs more than neat ideas to come together successfully. A swamp-noir murder mystery performed on stage is no doubt a novel idea, but the story is far from satisfying, ranging from inconsistent to completely off the rails in the final chapter.
Pulse (2015)
A blind protagonist makes for a distinctive aesthetic in Pulse, but those looking for a coherent story or compelling gameplay will find neither here.
