Action Adventure games in video game history
At the crossroads of action and exploration, the action-adventure game blends combat, puzzles and progression through vast environments. Popularized by the Zelda template, it exploded with 3D: cinematic cameras and staging made it one of the flagship genres of big-budget gaming.
Its icons are famous: Tomb Raider established 3D exploration, Metroid Prime reinvented the Metroid formula in first person, God of War III pushed mythological action to its peak and Assassin's Creed II settled the historical open-world blockbuster. Zelda, Uncharted and Batman: Arkham complete the picture.
For collectors, the genre spans both widely distributed blockbusters and rarer exclusives. On RomWize, every action-adventure game is retested and re-rated for 2026, with its rarity index and collector value (loose, complete and new) by region; the 'by console' section above helps you explore the best titles, machine by machine.
