The genre of action-adventure is a hybrid. It is a video game genre that combines elements from both action and adventure games. It borrows many of the physical skills from action games, but action-adventures also include a compelling storyline, multiple characters, an inventory system, dialogue, and other features most commonly used in adventure games. As a result, action-adventure games challenge both combat and problem-solving abilities in varying circumstances.
The gameplay is more frantic than pure adventure games. The player controls a single avatar as the protagonist in most action-adventure games. The games can be broadly classified into, first-person action-adventure, third-person action-adventure, platform-adventure games, stealth games, and survival games.
Some popular action-adventure games are as follows:
- God of War
- Assassin’s Creed
- GTA
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Uncharted
- The Witcher
- Returnal
- Back 4 Blood
- Chivalry II
- Deathloop
- Far Cry 6
