I’m not totally sure what the difference between an "Action"
and an "Action/Adventure" game is, I’ve taken action games to be games where
the combat mechanics are the focus, and Action/Adventure has elements of
exploration or platforming being a significant part of the experience. But
really I think my picks for both could both easily go in either category, so I kind
of hate the distinction.
- Banjo-Kazooie – Lots of platforming ACTION ACTION ACTION, a super fun time finding all the puzzle pieces.
- Hollow Knight – Lots of action. Lots of adventure. Lots of insects. What a time to be alive.
- Hyper Light Drifter – Travel the world coughing up neon blood as you kill everything that move. Once you get used to it a very fun experience.
- Red Dead Redemption – Cowboy Simulator of the year, every year, until Red Dead 2 is released at least.
- Spyro the dragon – Glide, charge, flame, rescue dragons, toast Gnorcs. Find a fault, I dare you. Other than the camera.
And the winner is:
Hollow
Knight
What can I say, I’ve already waxed lyrical about how good
this game is in the indie category, I just love me some metroidvania, and this
is a DAMN good metroidvania game.
Next up we have the Best Action Game!
