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.
The Talos Principle (2014)
Bursting at the seams with challenging puzzles and thought-provoking science fiction, The Talos Principle is a philosophically-minded first-person puzzler that’s well worth your time.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (2014)
Though it poses little in the way of challenge, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter delivers a gripping, gradually unfolding tragedy set in a beautiful open woodland environment that you are free to explore at will.
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments (2014)
Sherlock has never looked better, and Crimes & Punishments is an enjoyable anthology that should bring in new fans, but there’s little challenge for a seasoned adventurer.
The Journey Down: Chapter Two (2014)
If you’ve played the first chapter of The Journey Down, you’ll know pretty much what to expect. But when everything worked as well as it did originally, that continues to be a good thing.
The Journey Down (2017)
While shorter than the last instalment, and the easiest of the three to boot, the final chapter of The Journey Down brings closure to series veterans and, more importantly, makes the entire trilogy required gaming for adventure fans in general.
The Walking Dead: Season Two - Episode Four: Amid the Ruins (2014)
Amid The Ruins really delivers in setting the stage for the series conclusion, creating both expected and unexpected challenges that strike at the heart of fragile group dynamics.
The Fall: Part 1 (2014)
The Fall is a short but excellent first chapter of a planned trilogy. Even as it neatly wraps up its own story, it leaves enough questions unanswered (and raises some new ones) to create anticipation for the follow-up.
The Fall (0)
On a surface level, Part 2: Unbound continues where The Fall‘s last installment left off, but several changes have been made to both story and gameplay formulas, for better and for worse, including an overreliance on combat that may not appeal as strongly to hardcore adventure gamers.
Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse (2014)
Eminently playable, cheekily characterised and delectably artistic, The Serpent’s Curse rekindles the romance of the much-loved Broken Sword series.
The Walking Dead: Season Two - Episode Two: A House Divided (2014)
With the introduction of an unnerving antagonist, considerable cast development and a handful of do-or-die choices, A House Divided begins with a slow burn but turns into an inferno come the dramatic cliffhanger ending.
Contrast (2013)
High production values and fun puzzle-platforming should put Contrast in a favorable light for action-tolerant adventure gamers.
Goodbye Deponia (2013)
The Deponia trilogy turns out to be very good at goodbyes. If you enjoy LucasArts-style comedic games, this series – and especially the final game – will provide hours of tongue-in-cheek unconventionality.
The Inner World (2013)
While The Inner World certainly doesn’t push the envelope, neither does it cut any corners in delivering top-notch fun for the family.
BEYOND: Two Souls (2013)
An ambitious story with real, complex characters makes BEYOND: Two Souls one of the year’s most memorable adventures, as long as you’re willing to look past some constrained and awkward gameplay.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (2013)
More of a side story than a full sequel, A Machine for Pigs is memorably dark, disturbing, and bizarre.
The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief - Chapter One: The Eye of the Sphinx (2013)
The first episode of The Raven offers up a captivating story, intriguing characters and brilliant audio production to get the three-part series on track right away.
The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief (2013)
A Murder of Ravens ends the story on a cheap note and doesn’t quite live up to the promise laid out in the opening, but it’s certainly more fun than the preceding chapter.
The Journey Down: Chapter One (2012)
Though only teasing the series’ larger story arc for now, The Journey Down‘s HD remake is a short but vibrant indie adventure that far exceeds the quality of many full-blown retail games.
The Journey Down (2017)
While shorter than the last instalment, and the easiest of the three to boot, the final chapter of The Journey Down brings closure to series veterans and, more importantly, makes the entire trilogy required gaming for adventure fans in general.
Sam & Max: Episode 205 - What’s New, Beelzebub? (2008)
This game, and this season as a whole, is completely, certifiably nutso. And therein lies the magic and the charm of the experience. It's a wonderful experience when it's not straining under the weight of its own ambition.
Sam & Max: Season Two (2008)
This game, and this season as a whole, is completely, certifiably nutso. And therein lies the magic and the charm of the experience. It's a wonderful experience when it's not straining under the weight of its own ambition.
Sam & Max: Episode 203 - Night of the Raving Dead (2008)
This episode brings a lot of fresh ideas, but also a definite change in tone--which makes it another solid experience for series vets, but less of a recommendation as an introduction to the series.
Sam & Max: Season Two (2008)
This game, and this season as a whole, is completely, certifiably nutso. And therein lies the magic and the charm of the experience. It's a wonderful experience when it's not straining under the weight of its own ambition.
Sam & Max: Episode 202 - Moai Better Blues (2008)
There are criticisms, to be sure, but ultimately they feel like small nitpicks on what is an intelligent and wildly creative episodic adventure that continues the series with the requisite lunacy.
Sam & Max: Season Two (2008)
This game, and this season as a whole, is completely, certifiably nutso. And therein lies the magic and the charm of the experience. It's a wonderful experience when it's not straining under the weight of its own ambition.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All (2007)
While not as good as the original, Phoenix Wright and his comrades still manage to entertain and deliver with a fantastic script and engaging courtroom drama. Here's hoping that Capcom will see fit to translate the third game in the series.
