Perhaps the best quality of the new King’s Quest is that it strikes a balance between being sweet and funny without being overly sentimental. Extra kudos to Christopher Lolyd for a great, humorous turn as elderly King Graham.
#Delilah firewatch series#
The Odd Gentlemen’s take on the classic King’s Quest series had plenty of The Princess Bride-inspired jokes and good-hearted humor to keep us chuckling throughout the whole experience, even when the puzzles fell flat. However, due to just how well-written her dialogue is (as well as the strength of the performance from Cissy Jones), she’s more human than most characters you’ll ever run across in a game.Ĭontinue to page 2 to see the rest of our winners. You never actually see Delilah throughout your adventure. Even if Virginia isn’t your sort of game, you can still listen to its fantastic music and be enthralled. Virginia is a divisive game, but one of the few things that most people seem to agree on is just how great the driving soundtrack is (reminiscent of Coen Brothers films’ music), and how essential it is to the experience of the game. While Firewatch’s lovely sunsets and Pixar inspired character models stuck out in our minds, it was ultimately Abzu’s gorgeous watercolor-esque visuals that won us over. Whether you were playing in VR or just watching events unfold across your screen, Adrift’s tension was unbeatable. Both Henry and Delilah are troubled people, each with their own fair share of traumas, and it’s (fascinating and moving) to watch them meet in the middle and try to hash it all out, resulting in one of the most memorable stories in a game in years.Īdrift’s story may not have lived up to its potential but the game has represented the dangers and terror of space in a way that few have, casting you as an astronaut floating through the wreckage of a destroyed space station. With our general 2016 awards now live, we’re going to give the adventure genre its due.įirewatch, a story about a man who takes a job as a fire lookout at a national park in 1989, begins as a slow burn mystery that ultimately evolves into something more special.
2016 didn’t have quite as many, but what it lacked in quantity it made up for in quality with a handful of fantastic narrative-driven experiences.
2015 had an incredible year of adventure games lined from end to end.
