Despite the claim that adventure games died since the 1990s heyday, the genre remains vibrant today. While many dismiss point-and-click adventures as a relic, numerous outstanding titles have been released in the last 25 years. This article aims to showcase examples of these games, focusing on those that emerged after the perceived death of the genre and avoiding remasters or graphical upgrades. Notably, the early 2000s had few successful releases, primarily due to industry shifts towards 3D gaming, yet the genre endures and evolves with new offerings.
"One of the most tedious repeated refrains since the turn of the millennium is the notion that 'adventure games are dead.'"
"While it's very true that the genre's heyday was in the 1990s, the format has never gone away."
"In fact, in the last 25 years it's seen some of the very finest examples it's ever received, and we're here to celebrate them today."
"It's also worth noting that yes, there's very little between 2000 and 2010-the peak 'adventure games are dead' period."
