Action/adventure games have remained the hallmarks of the gaming industry. The incorporation of the richest combinations of intense combat, thrilling storylines, and enormous worlds inviting exploration into these games was the most appropriate genre for delivering high-voltage action, free from any wasted moments in gaming memory over the years. What brings excitement to action/adventure games? Perhaps the gratification of mastering complex combat systems, the satisfaction of grasping difficult storylines, or the thrill of discovering hidden secrets in exquisitely crafted worlds.
This year, the action/adventure genre seems to be reaching new heights. Studios push boundaries and redefine what their favorite titles could bring for players, making 2024 the year of action/adventure; historic franchises returning in proud glory, and the never-before-seen novelty of truly creative titles making their way into the industry may not have made it easy to pick the best action/adventure game of the year, but here we are, without further ado, into the Best Action/Adventure Game Nominees for 2024.
Astro Bot
Astro Bot returns in 2024 with a quest that defies the definition of platforming and action/adventure. A fun time with lush scenery and well-thought-out levels designed by Team Asobi, the player is let loose in an exciting, colorful imagination ride while exploring interests or secrets hidden deep with funny characters and interesting mechanics in their levels.
Haptic feedback and the adaptive trigger create more interesting game forms in every interaction. Astro Bot stands, along with all the other Team Asobi games, as an example of what can be done in the genre-one great experience for people of all ages.
Dragon's Dogma II
The Dragon's Dogma II by Capcom continues the legacy of its predecessor in an epic action adventure within an open world studded with mythical beasts and huge challenges. The game even lets the player get into the experience a little bit more with highly personalized, unique Pawn system AI companions for his or her own gameplay and an extensive number of customization options for the characters.
Dynamic combat also allows the player to climb the back of an enormous beast while weighing weaknesses in elemental properties, casting a cinematic attack while letting them interactively command other characters to engage in the action inside such intensively built worlds with engaging stories. Dragon's Dogma II absolutely deserves to be one of the best games of the year.
ELDEN RING: Shadow of the Erdtree
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is the long-anticipated expansion to FromSoftware's critically acclaimed masterpiece that sails players again into the hauntingly beautiful Lands Between. This DLC expands the vast world of the original game and introduces new regions, bosses, weapons, and lore-rich storytelling.
As with FromSoftware, combat remains as polished and punishing as ever, which compels players to test their skill and patience, especially in battles demanding precision and strategy. Shadow of the Erdtree is an evolution, not just an expansion from the Elden Ring experience, making it one of the finest action/adventure titles of the year.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from Square Enix carries on the wild retelling of one of the most favorite gaming stories. Following the building blocks of the Final Fantasy VII Remake, the Rebirth reveals to players a wider world exploration, more complex combat schemes, and superb visual picture realism.
This seems to have worked magic: action-inclined competition precedes strategic decision-making, so every battle seems and is both hard and gratifying. Its storyline goes deeper into the emotional arcs of its most famous characters, inspiring true fire between veterans and newcomers.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle comes with all the hallmarks of a classic treasure-hunting adventure, pulse-pounding action, and enough treasure-hunting thrill to keep you glued. It was developed by MachineGames and puts the player in the shoes of the legendary archaeologist as he unearths ancient mysteries and faces terrible traps.
The game has the feel of that precious film series but added new mechanics to maintain engaging player-to-player experiences throughout their journey; to swing across chasms with a whip or decipher ancient puzzles, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle evokes all the magic of adventure.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Ubisoft's Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown takes the legendary franchise and gives it a new perspective and a focus on fluid combat and busy platforming. It weds the classic elements of any Prince of Persia game-time manipulation and acrobatic remains with age-appropriate design sensibilities.
The environments are grandiose and beautifully rendered, and vicious puzzles are created, which give wonder and danger, while the combat system itself feels very pinpoint and rewarding. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown reminds us why this franchise is still very much loved by fans around the world.
Princess Peach: Showtime!
Princess Peach: Showtime! is bringing the sweet and wonderful Nintendo character into adventuring with her own action/adventure journey. The game is a delightful mixture of platforming and explorative yet creative combat mechanics specifically tailored for Princess Peach.
There is something new at every level, as fresh challenges and beautiful environments tempt players to experiment and uncover hidden secrets. Full of charm and creativity, this title is a memorable experience for any player.
Silent Hill 2 Remake
Silent Hill 2 Remake is a stunning retelling of one of the most well-known horror games ever created. The remake is developed by Bloober Team, which stays true to the original but modernizes its visuals, sound design, and gameplay mechanics.
Silent Hill 2 becomes increasingly oppressive, with James Sunderland carrying even more emotional weight in this iteration; every moment is deeply psychological horror, with monstrous reverberations and evocative images haunting every corner. Silent Hill 2 Remake is a masterclass in terrifying storytelling and atmosphere.
Star Wars Outlaws
Star Wars Outlaws lets players experience the galaxy far, far away in an open-world action/adventure game set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The game's developer, Ubisoft Massive, puts you in the shoes of Kay Vess, who negotiates an all-too-criminal-ish underworld in the galaxy.
There are expansive planets to explore, thrilling space dogfights, and choices of ethical ambiguity: everything captures Star Wars to the fullest. The blend of storytelling and exploration of the universe, in addition to intense action, set for an experience well worthy of a great franchise.
Tales of Kenzera: Zau
Tales of Kenzera: Zau is an action/adventure game that is emotionally thrilling and culturally rich developed by Surgent Studios; the game is inspired by African mythology and tells the story of a young warrior named Zau who must go on a quest to save his father's spirit.
With its fluid combat mechanics, stunning visuals, and heartfelt story that touches on grief, loss, and resilience, this truly makes up the whole package. Ultimately, Tales of Kenzera: Zau offers the best of both worlds: an emotional experience and action/adventure satisfaction.
