Best rated Adventure Games for Mac page 31
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.
Masochisia (2015)
Relentlessly, unapologetically bleak, Masochisia trades gameplay for light exploration and a story with only two player-driven shades: dark and darker.
Dropsy (2015)
The one-of-a-kind Dropsy’s heart is absolutely in the right place, but it’s tough to fully embrace a game with so much unwelcome filler.
Harvester (1996)
Harvester is an unforgettably brutal yet hilarious experience at times, but its awful combat controls, ambiguous objectives, and abundance of events that simply don’t make sense make the game hard to recommend.
Nevermind (2015)
Nevermind represents a worthy concept and provides an unsettling atmosphere that fans of thrillers will love, but by the time you’re starting to wonder where the story is going, you’ll realize you actually completed the game twenty minutes earlier.
City Quest (2015)
City Quest offers a pixelated trip down nostalgia lane but its uninspired sense of humor and lack of challenge make for a somewhat disappointing homage to golden era classics.
MechaNika (2015)
MechaNika is a unique concoction of childlike presentation and mature content that doesn’t seem to know which audience it’s trying to please, and never quite manages to fulfill its own evident potential.
Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock (2015)
Despite some solid production values, Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock is just too short and uninspired to strongly recommend.
House of Caravan (2015)
House of Caravan successfully builds an eerie atmosphere of darkness, but the bare-bones story and lack of character empathy largely squander the opportunity.
Randal’s Monday (2014)
Like most Mondays, Randal’s Monday is too long and tedious; it has its moments but falls way short of being a cheeky entertainer with engaging gameplay.
Putt-Putt Joins the Parade (1992)
Putt-Putt Joins the Parade is a decent first outing for the cheerful purple car that will make its younger audience smile, but a number of limitations reflect its status as Humongous’ first junior adventure.
AR-K: Episode 2 - The Girl Who Wasn’t There (2014)
Episode two is a definite improvement over its predecessor, but the AR-K series still has a ways to go to fulfill its potential.
Whispering Willows (2014)
Whispering Willows has an engaging story and superlative production quality, but fails to build on its strengths, eventually becoming an exercise in drudgery due to its insipid quests and irritating game design.
Bik (2014)
Bik is a fairly decent retro indie effort with some funky music, comedic touches, and welcome puzzle variety, but weak writing and bland environments limit the enjoyment.
Nancy Drew: The Shattered Medallion (2014)
The familiar recipe of education and puzzles with a dash of detective work will be comforting to series regulars, but a jumbled storyline and rehashed themes make Shattered Medallion seem stuck in rerun mode.
The Wolf Among Us: Episode Four - In Sheep’s Clothing (2014)
In Sheep’s Clothing is a very disappointing episode that starts slow and never picks up much steam. It all falls on the finale now to redeem this uneven series.
Moebius: Empire Rising (2014)
While mildly entertaining at times, Moebius is disappointingly light on the charm, intrigue, and ingenuity that marked Jane Jensen’s earlier work.
Detective Case and Clown Bot: Murder in the Hotel Lisbon (2013)
Detective Case and Clown Bot’s fun plot and interesting characters get obscured by uneven and potentially offensive jokes, one-trick gameplay, and poor audio quality.
Montague’s Mount: Episode One (2013)
The debut installment of Montague’s Mount is very pretty and atmospheric, but the lack of plot, puzzles or scares so far should have you waiting until the next episode before you decide whether to climb on.
Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller - Episode 4: The Cain Killer (2013)
Definitely the low point of the series, The Cain Killer is obviously still a must-play if you’re invested in the Cognition series thus far, though it reminds us that Phoenix Online has a lot of room to grow.
