Best First-Person Adventure Games Of All Time Ranked

Another video game that has absolutely exploded within this decade is the popular Minecraft franchise. While the building toys were popular before this decade, the video games have taken the franchise to new heig


From small mods that improve the way Arthur controls to massive tweaks that change the way players approach a game, it's easy to see why Red Dead Redemption 2 has become a hotbed of modding like nothing before it. Players who love Red Dead Redemption 2 but can't ignore some of its minute yet annoying faults can use mods to remove most of these frustrations and make the game as engaging as possible in just a few minu


Updated on July 24, 2024, by Kristy Ambrose: Go back in time far enough, and the earliest games on the first home computers were text-based point-and-click first-person adventure games. First-person puzzle and exploration games dominated the CD-ROM era of the 1990s. Some entries on this list are much older games that blazed a trail for the future of first-person adventure games , while others are new games that include both first and third-person options as part of the des


In the Undead Nightmare DLC, the cause of the entire zombie outbreak can be traced back to one particular green mask. It was stolen from the catacombs underneath Escalera by Abraham Reyes, triggering the horrific aftermath. The plague only lifts when John Marston finds the mask and returns it to its rightful place. This very same mask can be seen in Saint Denis on a shelf in the Fence's shop in RDR2 . Why it isn't causing an outbreak then we can't say, but it's ominous nonethel


The immersive qualities of Red Dead Redemption 2 can't be stated enough. The Open World games missions is drop-dead gorgeous and does a great job of letting players feel like they're in the Wild West as they summon their trusty steed and gallop across the countryside, enjoying the beautiful views along the way. However, as beautiful as this game may be, there are some instances when the HUD can feel overbearing and take players out of what should be a nigh-perfect experie


CJ may be one of the better ones, but his means can be as cruel as the rest. His morals don't always align with heroism, but in the end, he gets the job done as it needed to be in order for him to be a h

Dutch is pretty good at talking his way out of unpleasant situations, right up till the end. At the end of Red Dead Redemption , when John's got him cornered, Dutch throws away his gun and gives a speech on how he knows how pointless it is to fight nature. He can't fight change, and he also can't fight his own nature. It's a thought-provoking speech, particularly when he says "they'll just find another monster," which they indeed do when turning on J


Red Dead Redemption 2 may seem like a simple Western-style shooter on the surface, but anyone who has played it will know there are a lot of mechanics at play that make it a rich and engaging experience. The more a player knows about these mechanics, the better an outlaw they can


Despite the realistic tone, Rockstar has never been afraid to include some absurdity . In RDR2 you can find a man claiming to be a sasquatch hunter in the Valentine saloon. He'll talk at length about the existence of Bigfoot and whether Arthur believes him or not, some fans will remember he knows what he's talking about. The same character appears in the Undead Nightmare expansion for the first game. He gives Marston the mission to hunt down the sasquatches around the area of Tall Trees. And if you do some exploring in RDR2 , Arthur might just come across a skeleton that lends some truth to the man's cla


Rockstar's 2006 hit game Bully was widely praised and many gamers are awaiting the announcement of a sequel. Clearly Rockstar hasn't forgotten about this fan favorite, since RDR2 includes a reference to the game. In the side quest "The Noblest of Men, and a Woman" you're supposed to track down several old gunslingers. The quest culminates in a duel with one of the characters and if you win, you can pick up his revolver. The gun has the Latin phrase "Canis Canem Edit" engraved on the barrel. It means "dog eat dog" and also happens to be the title of Bully 's European rele


This was the third in a series of games that took not only first-person games to the next level but also adventure and detective games , which had their own niche genres. Despite the old-timey private investigator aesthetic, the setting is a unique post-WW3 world in the year 2042, and Tex Murphy lives in the mean streets of New San Franci


Kratos immediately started unnecessary wars as a god, as a big shining flipped bird to the other gods. His brutality we see throughout the franchise as he takes on other gods definitely takes things to the extr


Buying the Varmint Rifle early on is one of those things that players can easily miss unless they're really paying attention. This rifle is not really meant to be used against other people, such as members of the O’Driscoll gang. However, when trying to hunt and get perfect pelts, it can be a lifesaver as it doesn't damage the animals as much. In fact, it's arguably one of the only ways of getting three Perfect Rabbit Pelts, which is a requirement to progress through the Master Hunter Challe
