The question may seem silly. But action-adventure is such a broad genre that it deserves a few words of explanation. In the case of “Action-Adventure” we generally speak of a title with a Emphasis on storytelling and exploration, open-world or more linear gameplay and real-time battles. Therefore, we will not talk about turn-based RPGs or action RPGs (Elden Ring) whose gameplay is too demanding to fit into this category. Usually, action-adventure games are pretty mainstream.

So Horizon Forbidden West gives us the opportunity to discover the continuation of Aloy’s adventures a few months after the end of Horizon Zero Dawn. The terrible “Hades” virus is looming and the heroine must travel to the Forbidden West to save the world she loves. On both the narrative, the artistic direction and the gameplay, Forbidden West is an extraordinary action-adventure game, which will captivate you for thirty hours.

He’s also a well-known PlayStation headliner: Ratchet & Clank, which returned last year in Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart exclusively on PS5. This time, the famous heroes have to face a big time problem. The infamous Doctor Nefarious has built a machine capable of mixing dimensions. Of course, Ratchet and Clank are sure to be drawn into one of these rifts, leading to both adventure and unexpected encounters.

The characters and the universe are fleshed out, as is the gameplay and the many environments. A great success.
Kena ghost bridge
So here we are tackling one of the best surprises of 2021: Kena Bridge of Spirits. It is also the very first game from the Ember Lab studio to have made animated films up until then. For a premiere, it’s a damn good premiere. Despite sometimes a little too classic design reflexes Kena is an excellent action-adventure game, with lots of exploration and even challenging combat. The heroine must indeed be up to the task of freeing the spirits trapped by a curse. For this it is necessary to read the movements of the enemies well – in the manner of Dark Souls – and to make good use of very cute creatures that accompany you. Lots of puzzles along the way. A cocktail that works well.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Another game that encapsulates the action-adventure genre very well is Assassin’s Creed, specifically the latest installment in the saga, AC: Valhalla. As the name suggests, this time Ubisoft takes us back to the Viking Age when the hero or heroine Eivor, led by his brother, travels to England to expand his empire. And Anglo-Saxon territory hides a thousand and one secrets. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla offers a gigantic open world, with secrets but also many stories and characters to meet. As tradition dictates, the title deftly mixes action and exploration with its “Free Climb” system to scale any obstacle. What to discover thousands of things. A very good vintage.

End this selection in style with Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, the PS5 version of the superb reimagining of the cult RPG originally released for PlayStation 4. Don’t know what it’s about? You play Cloud, the eco-terrorist responsible for putting an end to Shinra’s actions. Society is literally sucking in the soul of the earth. But while he’s on a mission to destroy a reactor — just that — Cloud is plagued by visions that come to life in the form of one of the game’s biggest villains, Sephiroth. With its revised graphics and its fights that are still just as effective, this version offers a new story about a different character, Yuffie. As I am sure you have understood, there are only good reasons to get involved.
