Not all games push you towards slashing and shooting everything in sight. Some of them reward you through expert analysis and quick decision-making instead.

In particular, there’s a genre full of playable ventures that are more puzzle-oriented and story-focused. Those types of beloved experiences are known as point-and-click adventure games. The long history of that genre began with the introduction of Silicon Beach Software’s 1984 release, Enchanted Scepters. And ever since then, legendary development studios such as Sierra Entertainment, LucasArts, and Telltale Games have created a number of point-and-click titles that sit near the top of the mountain.

A quality point-and-click adventure game gives players an enthralling tale to follow, endearing characters that sit in your memory long after you’ve completed your journey, major choices to consider, and several puzzles that require thoughtful approaches to solving them.

We’ve handled the tough job of sifting through a massive lineup of point-and-click adventure games in order to find the best of the best. The 28 titles we’ve chosen to list here are currently the finest ways to enjoy one of the oldest genres in gaming. Put on your thinking cap and prepare to test your intelligence by taking on these incredible point-and-click adventure games.
