Check out all 64 of our Action & Adventure Game Reviews, ranked from best to worst!
Is Lies of P Worth Playing?
“Lies of P is without doubt one of the best soul likes on the market and is more than able to stand toe-to-toe with the very best titles that the genre has to offer.”
Is Chivalry 2 Worth Playing?
“Chivalry 2 perfectly combines Monty Pythonesque humour and buttery smooth combat that somehow just works.”
Is Tomba! Special Edition Worth Playing?
“While Tomba never became the success that it could have been due to launching a few years too early for its complexity and a few years too late for its visuals, over a quarter of a century after its original launch in 1997, it still holds a special place in the heart of the millions of people who played the demo disk but were unable to find the game on the shelves (myself included!)”
Is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Worth Playing?
“Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has a slim chance to become all that Marvel Avengers was never given the chance to be. That is, if the gaming community and gaming journalists give it the chance to do so.”
Is Street Fighter 6 Worth Playing?
“Street Fighter VI introduces much-needed accessibility, diversity, and a touch of contemporary social values to a franchise that has largely remained unaltered since the 1980s.”
Is Lies of P: Overture Worth Playing?
“While Lies of P: Overture at its core is "more of the same", the original Lies of P was one of the best games of 2023 and getting to enjoy more of the same is in no way a bad thing.”
Is Infinity Nikki Worth Playing?
“Infinity Nikki is without question "A Game for Girls", and that is in no way a bad thing.”
Is Dying Light 2: Stay Human Worth Playing?
“Dying Light 2 Stay Human is a near-perfect continuation of a beloved franchise, and it makes me very excited to see what the next five years of updates will bring.”
Is Dauntless Worth Playing?
“Dauntless has come a long way since its closed beta, and seeing the developers turn it from a "poor man's Monster Hunter" into a viable competitor of the same is a testament to their passion and dedication.”
Is Yooka-Replaylee Worth Playing?
“While Yooka-Replaylee improves upon the original in almost every way, it still lacks the evergreen appeal of golden-era platformer franchises such as Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, and Mario.”
Is Ultimate Zombie Defense Worth Playing?
“Ultimate Zombie Defense is immensely fun, but its lack of community makes it almost impossible for solo players to make it to wave 100 without an immense amount of trial and error and/or taking advantage of exploits.”
Is The Rogue Prince of Persia Worth Playing?
“In a time when the line between video games and traditional media is blurring more than ever before, The Rogue Prince of Persia feels like a video game in all the best ways.”
Is Space Adventure Cobra: The Awakening Worth Playing?
“Space Adventure Cobra: The Awakening combines the best of the 2D run-and-gun and Metroidvania genres to create what is possibly one of the best niche titles of 2025.”
Is Skull and Bones Worth Playing?
“Despite being delayed for over half a decade, Skull and Bones has finally set sail, and despite being not all that it could be, its honestly far better than most reviewers give it credit for.”
Is Shape of Dreams Worth Playing?
“Shape of Dreams expands upon the action rogue-like genre in ways that rival and occasionally surpass Vampire Survivors, something very few other titles have been able to accomplish”
Is Kaku: Ancient Seal Worth Playing?
“While Kaku: Ancient Seal is a wonderful homage to the golden era of 3D platformers, its dated visuals and occasional performance issues will be a deal breaker for some.”
Is Echoes of the End Worth Playing?
“The Echoes Of The End: Enhanced Edition update improves upon the original release in almost every way; unfortunately it arrived too late to save Echoes Of The End from total obscurity.”
Is Diablo IV Worth Playing?
“Diablo IV is a return to form for Blizzard, but how long they can maintain that form remains to be seen.”
Is Contra Operation Galuga Worth Playing?
“Contra Operation Galuga is a near-perfect remake of a beloved classic, and while Contra Operation Galuga will not be for everyone, long-time fans of the franchise and the era from which it came will want to pick up Contra Operation Galuga as soon as possible.”
Is Atomic Heart Worth Playing?
“Atomic Heart feels like the fever dream of a 1960s Soviet Scientist, which is not necessarily a bad thing.”
Is Ys X: Proud Nordics Worth Playing?
“While Ys X: Proud Nordics is the definitive edition of Ys X: Nordics, the compromises made to ensure the original version of the game could run on the Nintendo Switch are noticeable and at times immersion breaking.”
Is V Rising Worth Playing?
“V Rising proves that the survival genre still has room for innovation, even as it celebrates its 50th anniversary.”
Is Super Bomberman R 2 Worth Playing?
“While Super Bomberman R 2 is an excellent game, it lacks the charm of older titles in the series, and as a longtime fan of the franchise, it left me feeling cold.”
Is Steel Seed Worth Playing?
“The main problem with Steel Seed is that it is a "slightly above average" title in a genre full of amazing games.”
Is Scars Above Worth Playing?
“Scars Above perfectly combines the charm of an early 2000s liner shooter with the power and performance expected of a 2023 release in a way that few other titles have been able to mimic.”
Is Sancticide Worth Playing?
“Sancticide would be a much better game if it were not written to be as offensive as possible to several of the largest groups of people on earth.”
Is Potata: Flower Fairy Worth Playing?
“At less than three hours of unique content, Potata: Fairy Flower feels more like a generous demo than a retail release.”
Is Penny’s Big Breakaway Worth Playing?
“While Penny may not be the most endearing protagonist, Penny's Big Breakaway is, without doubt, the most polished 3D platformer not developed by Sega or Nintendo released in well over a decade, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Penny and her magical yo-yo.”
Is MORDHAU Worth Playing?
“While MORDHAU takes itself more seriously than Chivalry 2, there is still plenty of room for humour and hijinks in this medieval slasher.”
Is Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 Worth Playing?
“While Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is a decent collection of iconic games, its outdated portrayal of female characters and dated controls make it difficult to wholeheartedly recommend it, despite the respect that I and many others have for the franchise and its controversial creature.”
Is Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection Worth Playing?
“The Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection is an excellent collection of mediocre games that relies purely on nostalgia to generate sales.”
Is Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream Worth Playing?
“While I am a huge fan of Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream's stunning visuals and engrossing narrative, its lack of replayability and player agency make it difficult to recommend at full price.”
Is Crossout Worth Playing?
“Crossout is incredibly fun, looks fantastic, and considering its age is still decently active, however it is also horrendously pay-to-win, with the endgame almost entirely dominated by whales.”
Is Castlevania Dominus Collection Worth Playing?
“The Castlevania Dominus Collection makes some of the most iconic and Castlevania influential games of all time widely accessible on a wide variety of platforms for a fair price, many of which, for the first time.”
Is Wanted: Dead Worth Playing?
“Wanted: Dead feels like a game from the early days of the Xbox 360 in all of the best (and worst) ways.”
Is The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Worth Playing?
“While The Texas Chain Saw Massacre perfectly captures the essence of the movie, I am not sure that's a good thing for players who chose to play as the Family.”
Is Shieldwall Worth Playing?
“While Shieldwall has a great concept, its lacklustre combat mechanics and repetitive gameplay make it very difficult to enthusiastically recommend it.”
Is Scrappage Worth Playing?
“While Scrappage has the potential to become the next Vampire Survivors; however, it is unlikely to live up to its full potential due to a limited marketing budget and lack of a tangible Twitch and social media presence.”
Is Robin Hood: Sherwood Defenders Worth Playing?
“While Robin Hood: Sherwood Defenders is not the worst Robin Hood game in recent memory, it doesn't excite me, and based on how few copies it sold, it didn't excite anyone else either.”
Is Risky Chronicles And The Curse Of Destiny Worth Playing?
“While Risky Chronicles And The Curse Of Destiny is a decent game, an authentic 1990s platformer, it is not.”
Is Joe Wander And The Enigmatic Adventures Worth Playing?
“Joe Wander and the Enigmatic Adventures is a decent attempt to recapture a golden-age platformer's magic. Still, for various reasons, it feels more like a silver age platformer than anything else.”
Is Funko Fusion Worth Playing?
“Funko Fusion is what happens when you take the Lego Games formula and suck all of the fun and charm out of it, resulting in a bland and corporate celebration of B-tier pop culture.”
Is Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires Worth Playing?
“Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires is a great game to play in small doses but it starts to feel repetitive during longer gaming sessions. ”
Is Bravery and Greed Worth Playing?
“Bravery and Greed is a good game held back by its small community and lack of meaningful singleplayer content.”
Is Battlerite Worth Playing?
“Battlerite is a good game, albeit one without a community to sustain it”
Is Yaga Worth Playing?
“Yaga is a charming 2D action role-playing game with a poetic narrative that shifts based on player actions and choices, while the haunting soundtrack, poetic dialogue, and disturbing artwork help set Yaga apart in an overcrowded genre, they may not appeal to everyone and in some cases may cause players to look elsewhere.”
Is Steelborn Worth Playing?
“Steelborn comes so close to perfection that its over-reliance on a single mechanic and subsequent fall from grace is one of the greatest disappointments I have encountered when reviewing games in the last 5+ years.”
Is Kao the Kangaroo Worth Playing?
“Kao the Kangaroo is the latest entry in a franchise that almost no one has thought or cared about since the last entry was released in 2005.”
Is Davy X Jones Worth Playing?
“The main problem with DAVY x JONES is that it is an ok game, in a year overflowing with amazing games, a poor omen in most years, and a death sentence in 2025.”
Is Souldiers Worth Playing?
“Souldiers is a decent concept, held back by poor performance and unbalanced combat.”
Is Scarf Worth Playing?
“Scarf's colourful and whimsical aesthetic conceals a deeply disturbing narrative likely to upset children and sensitive individuals.”
Is No Place Like Home Worth Playing?
“No Place Like Home is a decent game, but its insistence on hammering home the message that "humans are wasteful" every few seconds at the expense the narrative ensures that few people will ever play it, and even less will walk away with more progressive views on environmental issues.”
Is Last Flag Worth Playing?
“Last Flag's main problem is that it is not good, cheap, or unique enough to compete with titles like Fortnite, which have dominated the live service genre for the better part of a decade.”
Is FixFox Worth Playing?
“FixFox, is a decent but ultimately unrewarding title that will not appeal to the average gamer.”
Is Cygni: All Guns Blazing Worth Playing?
“CYGNI: All Guns Blazing is a decent attempt at making a modern bullet hell shooter. However, an overreliance on self-praise and dated portrayals of female characters reduces it to a case study of things to avoid doing if you wish to succeed.”
Is Testament: The Order of High Human Worth Playing?
“While Testament: The Order of High Human is nice to look at, it has little to offer gamers who value interesting content more than impressive visuals.”
Is The Divine Knockout (DKO) Worth Playing?
“The Divine Knockout (DKO) is the most soulless attempt at cashing in on a new market that I have encountered in a long time.”
Is Roller Champions Worth Playing?
“Roller Champions is just too mediocre to compete in the overcrowded, casual-competitive market, and as a result, its demise is not a case of if but when.”
Is Nearly Dead – Live And Let Die Worth Playing?
“Nearly Dead - Live And Let Die lacks the legs to support itself, let alone revive Nearly Dead, and sustain its struggling developer Mono Software Inc.”
Is Titanium Hound Worth Playing?
“Titanium Hound could have been a good game, but the developer's assistance on uniquely bad mechanics makes it impossible for me to recommend it to anyone, let alone fans of the genre.”
Is Gangs of Sherwood Worth Playing?
“From the moment I first played Gangs of Sherwood, my first thought was, "Who asked for this?" and after playing it for a while, I finally have my answer: "No one did".”
Is Final Stand: Ragnarok Worth Playing?
“While Final Stand: Ragnarok may not be the final stand of Mark Jacobs and Unchained Entertainment, it certainly is a bad omen of things to come for the long-delayed MMORPG Camelot Unchained and the reputation of its legendary developer.”
Is Biomutant Worth Playing?
“Biomutant is hands down one of the worst games I have ever played, and certainly the worst game that I played in 2021”
Is 9Lives Arena Worth Playing?
“9Lives Arena is one of the worst games I have ever played and is a terrible example of what a good blockchain game could be.”
