The Essence of Adventure Games: Storytelling, Exploration, and Puzzle Solving

[Babatunde Eniola]

Many adventure games offer choices that affect the story’s outcome, allowing for multiple endings based on the player’s decisions (e.g., The Walking Dead series).

Some adventure games feature open-world exploration, where players can roam freely (e.g., The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild), while others are more linear, guiding players through a set path.

Classic adventure games like Monkey Island or Grim Fandango often involve collecting items and figuring out how to use them to solve puzzles.
