Pandemic really got us in a chokehold as Covid-19 infection rate was higher than the average wage of a Malaysian. Not being able to see the wonders of the world, whether internationally or domestically can truly drive a person to insanity.
Years later, interstate borders are now no longer closed and we are able to freely travel to both domestic and international locations as long as they allow visits. However, if you still wish to stay guarded and avoid the virus altogether, you may opt for a more digital, sci-fi, and whimsical approach. To do this, you can travel through games.
How to choose the right adventure game
As the market for games expands, so do the options for adventure games. It is important to consider the aspects of affordability, genre, and longevity.
- Affordability
Games for PC can be either cheap or extremely expensive, depending on the brand and company. However, it can be a really good investment if you consider the quality of the game, and not just the price.
- Genre
Games share quite the same genres with books, such as action, action-adventure, adventure, role-playing, simulation, strategy, sports, and puzzle. Buy games that have the genre that you have interests in.
- Longevity
Games that offer longevity to your gameplay are going to be fulfilling as you are getting the most out of your purchase. Most storyline games offer side quests or tasks that you can freely complete post-game.
