Adventure games are a genre of video games that emphasize narrative-driven experiences and exploration. Players typically assume the role of a character and navigate through various environments, solving puzzles, interacting with non-playable characters (NPCs), and uncovering stories. The gameplay often involves critical thinking and problem-solving, as players must use clues and items found within the game world to progress.
These games are characterized by their immersive settings, often featuring rich storytelling and character development. Unlike action-oriented games, adventure games may focus less on reflexes and more on the player’s decision-making skills and exploration.
Adventure games can be divided into sub-genres, including graphic adventure games, which utilize visual imagery and a point-and-click interface, and text adventures, which rely on written descriptions and player input through text commands. The genre has evolved over time, with modern entries incorporating elements from other genres, such as role-playing and simulation games, while still maintaining a strong emphasis on narrative and player immersion.
