There did seem to be a huge gap for many years in the existence of good adventure games. I have fond memories of many ones from yesteryear, but then it largely felt that anything that was out was pretty boring or just trying to copy them.
And last week I started playing Disco Elysium, and it's everything I ever wanted from something like an adventure/rpg and more.
- TremendousJudge 7y agoI was going to say exactly the same about Disco Elysium. While classed as an RPG, I'd say it's more of an adventure game disguised as an RPG. The game is just point and click, talk to people, interact with the world, and solve puzzles. The leveling up mechanic makes it much more interesting to play, but it's not really the core gameplay
- pampelondan 7y agoWell it is RPG indeed (unless someone understands it as "Ravage, Pillage, Grind"), but on the adventure spectrum it is more lika a choose-your-own-adventure game. The game interface is pretty much dialogue trees, at some point close to the end of the game, the game even poke at it not-so-subtly. Puzzles in those kind of games are prone to brute-forcing all dialogue choices.
