Best rated Adventure Games
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.
Toren (2015)
Toren tries to emulate the platforming storytelling of such classics like ICO, but doesn’t manage to perform in either category. Add a heap of game-crashing bugs on top of difficult controls and unsatisfying narrative, and it becomes hard to find a reason to recommend the game.
Nicolas Eymerich The Inquisitor: Book II - The Village (2015)
The Inquisitor loses its way through The Village with a poorly designed, technically weak sequel that fails to capitalise on the strengths of its brazen story and brutal, brilliant title character.
Hektor (2015)
Hektor‘s idea of a mentally unstable individual having to escape a secret government testing facility could have been a good one. But the attempt of making the gameplay reflect the protagonist’s fading grip on sanity just alienates any sense of player control and ultimately lets the game almost play itself.
Corto Maltese: Secrets of Venice (2014)
Hugo Pratt’s title character is nicely represented through collectible memorabilia and original artwork, but Corto Maltese: Secrets of Venice fails to deliver an engaging story or gameplay experience worthy of its source material.
Doorways: The Underworld (2014)
With three chapters down and one to go, the Doorways series still lacks the kind of compelling story or gameplay needed for a successful horror game.
Enola (2014)
Full of promise but little enjoyment, Enola is a unique and disturbing story wrapped in a bad game.
Catmouth Island: Episode 1 (2014)
With little more to offer than superficial weirdness and pretty polygons in this series debut, it’s best to wait and see where Catmouth Island goes before investing any time in this underwhelming adventure.
9 Elefants (2014)
9 Elefants effortlessly copies what should have been a successful formula on paper, but a lack of puzzle variety and story relevance causes most redeeming qualities to get lost in translation.
Mount Olympus (2014)
Mount Olympus is a repetitive, lackluster, and simplistic experience barely masquerading as an original adventure.
The Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths (2013)
Mysterious Cities of Gold faithfully recreates the look of the television show, but its shallow, repetitive, and unimaginative gameplay should have you prospecting somewhere else.
Dream Chamber (2013)
Dream Chamber feels like a game born out of good ideas that lost their way and were abandoned halfway through, leaving a curious collection of ill-fitting pieces in the opening installment.
Doorways: Prelude (2013)
Halfway through this four-part series, Doorways can’t separate itself from the abundance of other first-person horror games, offering only an uninteresting story and dull gameplay so far.
Eleusis (2013)
Eleusis starts off promisingly enough, but well-appointed graphics can’t make up for the lackluster story and generally poor gameplay.
Alone in the Park (2011)
Alone in the Park offers a different approach to treasure hunting, though it’s anything but a pleasant, annoyance-free afternoon stroll.
Adventures of Max Fax (2013)
While a short, breezy adventure can make for a refreshing change of pace, Max Fax‘s debut is hampered by a weak story and translation issues that make too much of the light-hearted comedy fall flat.
Police Quest: Open Season (Daryl F. Gates’) (1993)
With a conclusion that borders on incomprehensible, Police Quest 4 offers impressive technological advances from previous games in the series, but loses their simpler charms.
Metropolis Crimes (2009)
The nicely integrated puzzles in Metropolis Crimes are fun to solve when they work, but the weak story and characters and overly frustrating controls will have you seeing red.
Haunting at Cliffhouse (2012)
The ghosts of Haunting at Cliffhouse are far from frightening, but the thin story and standard casual puzzles may just scare you away from an otherwise pleasant vacation.
Red Johnson’s Chronicles: One Against All (2012)
If you love solving puzzles you may enjoy One Against All, particularly if this is your first Red Johnson adventure, but this sequel is overrun with flaws, and if you’re in it for the story and characters, look elsewhere.
