I deeply love adventure games, IMo they are the best genre ever. So whats so great about adventure games you ask.
Let me tell you:
1. the story is always amazing, sometimes deep...sometimes funny...but always great. They keep you interested in the game from start to end.
Ex: Grim Fandango has a great story, you are a travel agent in the World of the Dead and you most find your your ticket out of that world. Best game ever
2. The characters has to be well made, especially in the inside. They have to transmit a feeling to us, that way you can be that character...you can feel what he feels...you can live what he is living.
Ex: Monkey Island: Every character is stylish and great, but Guybrush Threepwood....man, that guy is amazing. He know how to make you laugh and enjoy the game. Best personality in a game.
3. The locations most be amazing, beautifull and unforgetable.
Ex: Syberia's locations are simply amazing, especially the university you visit. Sometimes i wish i could study there. Myst serie has amazing locations too.
The Longest Journey also has breathtaking locations.
4. Puzzles are an important factor in each adventure game. They can't be too easy nor too tough, more like in the middle.
Ex: I find Myst games puzzles to be very very hard. In the other hand, Runaway was a preety easy game for me.
5. Music should be classic, without the music you can't feel the location of the game nor the mood. It's a really important factor.
Ex: Uru has great intrumental and peacefull music, and Monkey Island serie has a very tropical and happy tunes.
Well, thats all i can't think of. So if you haven't played an adventure game before then start right away. It will be an amazing experience...and amazing journey.
