Top 20 Adventure Games Ranked

We rank our Top 20 Point And Click Adventure Games Ever. If you like PC Game lists then enjoy.
Point and Click Adventure Games. We all remember them. We still play them since many have been released. Today, I thought I'd share our best point and click adventures of all time.
Some of these are classic adventure games of the 90's. Companies likes Sierra, LucasArts / LucasFilm and Revolution software were the pioneers to develop point and click games like Monkey Island and King's Quest and Broken Sword. Daedilic Entertainment, Wadjet Eye Games, and Tell Tale (along with Double Fine) have helped resurrect the industry. Episodic gaming and re-releasing of the old classics has brought a new wave of fans and hopefully we can help guide you on your adventure to Adventure...Gaming.
Hope you guys enjoy this!

Hey Joshua, greetings from Buenos Aires. I just want to say that i'm so glad that The Case of The Serrated Scalpel made it into the list. It's my favourite game of all time, along with Maniac Mansion. I think is a gem so underrated that it is a shame, cause it got it all: beautifull pixel art (the lighting and shadows are gorgeous), and has a great story: murder, suicide, kidnapping....It is just great. Keep on the good work!

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Absolutely Fancotas and I'm glad to have a friend in Buenos Aires.

[@TheRyanBre]

I was reminded of a few titles that I have yet to play, another great list!

[@childofthe80s1981]

Quest for Glory back in the day I had played Quest For Glory I the remake and Quest for Glory III but never finished them. I still need to play QFG 4

[@gbj6581]

Yup.. Great list! Honorable mention, 'beneath a steel sky'.

[@childofthe80s1981]

SQ IV I played and beat back in the day I still need to play it for my channel.

[@wimzilliacus7443]

Wow, maybe the best ranking list I've seen on adventure games! You know your stuff. I'd still add Syberia 1 and 2, Primordia, and Sanitarium.

[@wimzilliacus7443]

Oh, and Toonstruck is easily top 3 for me. Basically perfect game

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Thanks so much. I really appreciate you master sword. I've never played Primordia. Gotta try it

[@childofthe80s1981]

Grim Fandango I really need to play this one

[@Cuzjudd]

The puzzles are too hard

[@galbaum33]

I'm sure that even if you asked any of the creators of places 1 through 8 (including Ron Gilbert), they'd tell you "well, The Secret of Monkey Island is a lot better than our game, but it's not really a competition."

[@childofthe80s1981]

KQ VI my favorite of the King's Quest series I still need to play this game for my channel. When I do expect me to belt out Girl in the Tower so look forward to that. Yes I will be singing along will that be good or bad well you decide.

[@jed2055]

Great choices there mate. Thank you for, a) Bringing back the memories b) Listing some new (for me) games.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Heck yeah Jed

[@juliec3961]

Great list! I like the way you put this together and I like the way you’re put together 😉

[@MagusMarquillin]

*You* certainly love em in a weird way!

[@Svankmajer]

Great list! - and kudos for putting Monkey Island 2 before the others in the series. Some I never played here, like Sherlock Holmes and Black Mirror. I have to check them out.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

It's a controversial ranking. I love the dark side and I LOVE the ending. I appreciate you Andreas

[@electricmagazine1]

Some very underrated titles: Beneath A Steel Sky, Dragonsphere, The Legend Of Kyrandia, The Dig (far better than Full Throttle IMO). Simon The Sorcerer 1 and Lure Of The Temptress were very good, as well. Always thought Broken Sword series were a bit overrated & Monkey Island 3 & 4 were huge letdowns after the first 2 games. Telltale Sam & Max and Monkey Island games were great too. Strangeland, which is a recent point & click, turned out to be one of the best I've ever played.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

I loved the Dig and Bass made my top 25 all time. I didn’t care for Lure and I could take or leave the Kyrandia games. Strangeland is one I recently played and it was indeed fantastic. Escape from Monkey Island was icky but I truly loved Curse. I’ll have to play Dragonsphere 😀 Thanks for the dialoge EMag

[@bitterbold]

Monkey Island is my absolute favorite of this list.

[@Darkho1y]

Awesome stuff! Rubacava will always keep a spot in my heart as the coziest video game city. How about making a list with a bit more modern stuff? Some of my favorites "recent" favorites are: Scratches, Machinarium, Primordia, Gemini Rue, Kathy Rain.. Plenty of good stuff to make lists with :)

[@wonderduck2345]

Can't forget the blackwell saga, Broken Age, Deponia series as well. Also 7th Guest man, game was so good.

[@leandrocerrano]

i have no mouth and i must scream, it is just brilliant.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

I agree my friend.

[@HerrFinsternis]

This was nice. I haven't played adventuregames in years and many of these game hold very dear memories to me. I have to say though I was shocked to my core to see the longest journey in nr.18 which to me allways contends for first place with one of the gabriel knight games that were on this list. But great list nonetheless 😊 it was also nice to see Riven on it which is a different kind of game then the others but so incredible I think it should be on it anyway.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for taking the nostalgia ride with us.

[@nickgehr]

Love this list. Only game I would have added is Thimbleweed Park.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

I tried to get it in there 😊

[@Cuzjudd]

I'm in the middle of it at the moment. It's good

[@mbvalency]

The ending is really bad. Because of that it is only the 3rd best adventure for me. Primordia and Ceville would have been on my top 20 list. Anyways, not much to complain about this compilation... it's well done.

[@childofthe80s1981]

The Secret of Monkey Island I played for my channel this is another case where the commentary however is not that great so I may redo it in the future.

[@childofthe80s1981]

I need to dive into the Broken Sword series. I finally dived into Syberia and finished playing the first one.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

81. Man....you HAVE to Play BS1 non remastered if you can

[@wonderduck2345]

I feel like you've never played Loom before. Loom was top tier adventure game. The music was gorgeous, story was fantastic.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

I’ve played it a half dozen times and yes, it’s a wonderful game

[@NunoGuitarsSilva]

Hey man, great list but not having The Dig here is really confusing... It's one of the best adventure games ever 😃

[@childofthe80s1981]

I still need to dive into the Tex Murphy series

[@user-ht1jg4qz3h]

indy fate is one of my all time p.c games, top notch...

[@childofthe80s1981]

The Beast Within I really need to play when I get back home I still need to finish Shovel Knight so most likely after that.

[@childofthe80s1981]

Monkey Island 2 is my favorite of the Monkey Island games since it now has voice acting. Curse of Monkey Island before the special edition of Monkey Island 2 was my favorite. I did an LP of this game but the commentary was quite frankly crap so I will be redoing it in the future.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Heck yeah

[@childofthe80s1981]

Sam and Max Hit The Road I already did for my channel but the commentary on it was crap another one I will need to redo in the future.

[@childofthe80s1981]

Full Throttle I played on my channel the commentary wasn't that great though so I may revisit it in the future. I do have tons of games that I need to play for the first time so don't expect it anytime soon.

[@freediverhd]

Monkey island, followed by Fate of Atlantis would be my favorites, followed by a mix of space quests and king quests.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Hard to go wrong with those

[@childofthe80s1981]

The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes I played back in the day I would really love to play it again this time for my channel.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

It's a unique game that is like to see someone play.

[@childofthe80s1981]

Day of the Tentacle I absolutely love this game I already did an LP of it but again the commentary was quite frankly crap so another one I will be redoing later on.

[@childofthe80s1981]

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis I played back in the day and I got as far as Atlantis but never completed it.

[@MagusMarquillin]

It's a great ending and worth playing, though Atlantis can be monotonous. You should play it again and take a different path this time.

[@jed2055]

Lol, it's one of the very few I actually managed to finish. That and The Dig. Two Lucas Arts gems imho.

[@Yoni123]

Show gameplay!

[@billsmith5367]

Hey - great list and thanks for introducing me to a load I have never played. Did you like Loom back in the day? I really enjoyed that when I played it. What about older text based adventure games like Seabase Delta or does that not count? Are you all excited about Return to Monkey Island (I am happy with the art style by the way)?

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Hi Bill. I’m glad to have you. If I remember right, this list doesn’t include any text adventures and primarily focuses on point and click. If I’m to be honest, I’ve never played a text only game with any level of excitement. In regards to the monkey island graphics, I’m on the fence. I certainly don’t hate it. The recent clip that DD released looked pretty good. I did a video on the graphics debate where I spoke in more detail. You may be interested in checking it out 😊

[@billsmith5367]

@@AdventureGameHotspot Thanks - I will check this out.

[@UKCougar]

Seabase Delta... sequel to Subsunk? Great games.

[@childofthe80s1981]

Riven I played back in the day but never got very far.

[@childofthe80s1981]

Curse of Monkey Island you say is number 6 but according to the video is number 5. I love this game and have played it on my channel already but it is another one where the commentary wasn't that great so I may redo it in the future.

[@MagusMarquillin]

I've finished 14 1/2 of these, but I need still play Broken Sword 5 (as well as 3, 4, 2.5 and the remasters of 1 & 2), Tex Murphy (any of them (for shame)!), Black Mirror (all 3 (I'll skip the remake)), Sherlock Holmes (and it's sequel Rose Tattoo...and all the Frogware games), Day of the Tentacle (first gotta beat Maniac Mansion!) and the later half of Grim Fandango (it has such esteem, I'm really prolonging the experience :D ). Wait, that seemed like more the 5 and a half!? :P I've gotten back into reading these last 2 years, so it's really slowed up my gaming.

[@frogsty1764]

The left ear bud didn’t have sound for one part, but we are all here for his hot wife

[@childofthe80s1981]

Still haven't played The Longest Journey I need to rectify that.

[@fischandchipsgaming7410]

I'love Monkey Island

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Incredible series 😊

[@user-ht1jg4qz3h]

hmm, he forgot that cool game w the agent w automated ai voice at the airport, cant remeber, name also very cool...

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Do you remember anything else?

[@eraytufan4425]

The voiceover mostly comes only from left speaker.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Oh no. I'm sorry

[@Anail_Mhin]

Broken Sword hat #1.... ...dont agree. But I respect your guts to place it there

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

What’s your number one Anail?

[@dwgreen108]

@@AdventureGameHotspot Have you ever played Brneath a Steel Sky? Do you have an opinion on it? I'm trying to play a Revolution game and so I'm trying to choose between Beneath a Steel Sky and Broken Sword.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

@@dwgreen108 BASS is a really good game. I doesn’t compare to Broken Sword though 😀

[@RelativeStrengthFit]

Wadjeteye games deserve to be here. Gemini rue for example

[@lanawilliams7615]

Discworld the game is up there with Monkey Island for sure!

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

It’s just sooo difficult 😵

[@lanawilliams7615]

That’s very true! 😀

[@RetroShare2]

Runaway is also a nice game.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Yes. It's a wonderful series

[@user-ht1jg4qz3h]

i hope he has a reason why l.o.kyrandia, loom, and z.mckraken not on the list....😤😤

[@childofthe80s1981]

I played The Black Mirror the game has good atmosphere Samuel is kind of an annoying protagonist but I still enjoyed the game.

[@zdp-189]

April Ryan was my girlfriend, until Zoe Castillo came along.

Great list. What's your thoughts on the new Tony Tough game? Are you interested in ?

[@mbvalency]

@@AdventureGameHotspot It's the first time I hear about a new Tony Tough :D I "only" played 22 titles, so the last positions on the list are not exactly games I would necessarily recommend. Will have a look at the new Tony Tough anyways - thanks for the suggestion. Maybe you have a personal tip for one, two games that could still make it into my top 10.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

@@mbvalency I appreciate the dialogue. The new Tony Tough is currently in the works. It's not out yet but you may want to have a look at the progress

[@mbvalency]

@@AdventureGameHotspot I doubt it will be good. Some series just get worse all the time ;) Still some good adventures out there, that are worth playing.

[@joelmccann9869]

I really appreciate you being positive on this channel but there’s gonna be a point where you do the worst adventure games like Mystery of the druids and Knightmare

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Haha. I’m totally going to do a worst adventure game list. Sounds fun. Thanks for the suggestion

[@Tony_Cardoza]

11:10 Gabriel's accent is especially overdone and annoying to those who know, when you consider the fact that they don't speak with a "drawl" in New Orleans. The local White dialect in New Orleans is called Yat and it sounds very unusual and different but it's nothing like whatever Gabriel is doing. People compare the White New Orleans accent to a Brooklyn, NYC accent. It has some similarities for certain. Look up a video on here called "where ya at a variety of New Orleans accents" to hear what I'm referring to.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

Yes. Indeed

[@Tony_Cardoza]

@@AdventureGameHotspot I like to spread knowledge. It makes me happy when others are learning.

Grim Fandango I hate it. I wouldn't replay it after once I've completed it.
