Play Adventure Games: Absolutely Free

By Jocelyn Dela Cruz


Those who enjoy playing adventure games will find that there are many games of this nature online. While in many cases one will have to pay for the game of his or her choice, there are some websites that offer numerous free online games to those who are interested. These games are usually single player games; however, there are a number of adventure games that are interactive and allow for two or more players.

What are the Options?

Within the genre of 'adventure game', there are four subgenres. Puzzle games focus on solving puzzles of clues and the journey of the character from one place to another. These are therefore less gory than some other types of game, though no less entertaining. Such games include Riddle of the Sphinx, Atlantis, The Lost Tales and Schizm.

Text adventure games are a second subgenre. In these game messages pop up as the game progresses, giving instructions and hint that will lead the gamer from one situation or place to the next. Graphic adventure games are similar, but played through an avatar that can be moved with the mouse. Directions are provided in different ways throughout the game.

Visual novel games are less common, though popular in parts of Asia and Japan. These feature static art, in an anime style, and resemble the old 'choose your own adventure' stories. Unlike the more linear games above these have several possible endings, all of which can be reached in different ways. There is more than one way to win or lose these games, which adds interest for the player who likes variety in gaming.

Free Online Games - What to Expect

Sites offering free games online will usually require that one sign up. Some websites will only provide free games for a limited period of time; after this, one will need to pay a small monthly fee in order to retain membership. However, there are many free game sites that provide free membership indefinitely.

Not all sites will have all the games that one may enjoy playing. Some sites have more games than others, or focus on providing games of a particular genre. However, a person who does a bit of looking around will have no problem finding good free game sites. Those who are looking for a particular game should do search for the exact game name instead of just looking online for free adventure games.

Anyone who enjoys gaming will want to take full advantage of the free games available online. Once a gamer discovers the best places to look they will find that most types of adventure game can be played for no cost at all on the internet. An exact search for the type, or even the specific name of a game, will swiftly produce thousands of options and make discovering the best places to find online games quick and easy.

Those who are new to adventure games and unsure where to start, or are undecided about which new game to try next, can use the categories discussed above as a starting point for their search and try out free games until they find one they enjoy.
