Best PS4 3D Adventure Games of All Time

We already published the list of best PS4 games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best PS4 3D adventure games of all time.

With amazing titles available, the PS4 definitely has a great library of 3D adventure games.

So, if you’re a fan of both the PS4 and 3D adventure games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.

And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.

#25. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy – Episode 1: Tangled Up in Blue

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy - Episode 1: Tangled Up in Blue
  • Release Data: Telltale Games, 2017
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person

Tangled Up in Blue does tend to feel linear for its genre.

But the good thing is, there are easter eggs regarding the universe and characters outside of the Guardians that some may miss if they’re not paying attention.

Also, the old-school music selections in the game is enjoyable, as well as some good voice acting with some funny dialogue sequences.

#24. Observer

Observer
  • Release Data: Bloober Team/Aspyr, 2017
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » First-Person

While the long, immersion-breaking load times and repetitive nightmare sections are disappointing, horror fans will still find a game worth playing with Observer.

Observer‘s story is reason enough to play the game to completion, but even those that aren’t driven by the disturbing cyberpunk tale may still enjoy its puzzles and compelling crime scene investigations.

#23. Beyond: Two Souls

Beyond: Two Souls
  • Release Data: Quantic Dream/Sony Interactive Entertainment, 2015
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person

Beyond is a unique experience, even as the tools implemented in its creation have become commonplace.

It’s filled with concepts that are immediately odd and illogical, but if you accept them on their own terms, they add up to a fascinating if unconventional tale.

Beyond remains an imperfect experience but is still compelling for what it accomplishes.

#22. Erica

Erica
  • Release Data: Flavourworks/Sony Interactive Entertainment, 2019
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person

Erica is an intriguing, admirable experience that those looking for something a little outside of the video game norm will surely latch on to.

With an impressive set of performances, a story that’ll have you hooked straight from the off, and meaningful decisions that have a major impact on the game, FMV is making waves all over again.

#21. The Magic Circle: Gold Edition

The Magic Circle: Gold Edition
  • Release Data: Question, 2016
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » First-Person

The Magic Circle: Gold Edition is a humorous and satirical look at the complexity of game development.

At the same time, it’s a fun game that encourages you to experiment with different combinations to reach your goal, leading to a number of bizarre creations, but The Magic Circle: Gold Edition is brought to life by its comedy.

#20. Octodad: Dadliest Catch

Octodad: Dadliest Catch
  • Release Data: Kevin Zuhn/Young Horses, Inc, 2014
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person

Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a quirky mix of physics and mini-games wrapped up into a story about an Octopus that wants to live a normal life with his family.

And while it doesn’t quite take the extra step that would cement its place as a classic, lovers of physical comedy owe it to themselves to check this one out.

#19. Heavy Rain

Heavy Rain
  • Release Data: Virtuos/Sony Interactive Entertainment, 2016
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person

Heavy Rain looks fantastic on PS4 and still has the power and sophistication to leave a lasting impression.

And despite not fixing the glitches and awkward, robotic crowd scenes for this remaster, this interactive drama is an absorbing experience not to be missed.

#18. Virginia

Virginia
  • Release Data: 505 Games, 2016
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » First-Person

Some technical niggles aside, Virginia is a fantastic piece of interactive fiction, and a fantastic video game.

It’s rare to see a game that truly innovates on the way a story can be told through this medium, and to have something that doesn’t only push those boundaries but does so this effectively is a real treat.

#17. Layers of Fear

Layers of Fear
  • Release Data: Bloober Team/Aspyr, 2016
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » First-Person

Layers of Fear is a tidily presented, tantalizingly tense trip through a fractured psyche—it’s dark, desperate, and depraved.

The developer hasn’t concocted the most original slice of horror in history, but it has pulled its inspirations together shrewdly—and the results are both repulsive and rousing.

#16. Firewatch

Firewatch
  • Release Data: Campo Santo/Panic Inc., 2016
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » First-Person

Firewatch is a great story about real people trying to deal or escape from real problems.

Uneven pacing somewhat dents the flow of the tale but this title delivers a memorable experience.

There’s a few places to go and stuff to see off the beaten path but the main attraction is a well-executed hike filled with mystery.

#15. Detroit: Become Human

Detroit: Become Human
  • Release Data: Quantic Dream/Sony Interactive Entertainment, 2018
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person

The sheer number of variables, combined with a strong narrative, keeps you engaged for multiple playthroughs, giving the game legs far beyond its initial 10 hour run.

There is admittedly a bigger focus on story over gameplay, and some of the mundane chapters can harm repeat runs, but for the most part, it is a story that’s worth listening to.

#14. Omensight

Omensight
  • Release Data: Spearhead Games, 2018
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » First-Person

Omensight not only tells an excellent story, but showcases the story in such a way that leaves you playing for hours, looking to figure out the next bit of the mystery to solve the murder.

While Omensight cannot be recommended to everyone, those who are truly invested in what the story has to offer can look past its faults.

#13. The Persistence

The Persistence
  • Release Data: Firesprite, 2018
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » First-Person

The Persistence is one of the finest VR horror adventure games on the PlayStation 4, and the developer has managed to do something different within the genre.

The game can be tough at times, and the visuals aren’t the best, but the variety of customization and level layouts every time you die make it a fun horror to play.

#12. Grim Fandango Remastered

Grim Fandango Remastered
  • Release Data: Double Fine Productions, 2015
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person

Grim Fandango is undoubtedly one of the greatest adventure games ever made, and this remaster does its legacy justice.

The occasionally obtuse puzzles do date the game in some ways, but the plot and setting is as refreshing as ever.

If you’re yearning for something a little different, then a trip to the Underworld may be what you need.

#11. Concrete Genie

Concrete Genie
  • Release Data: Pixel Opus/Sony Interactive Entertainment, 2019
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person

Concrete Genie is best summed up as one of those short and sweet types of games and is best reserved for those who may have young children in their lives.

Not only does the game offer a fun adventure, but more importantly, one that has a meaningful message about some of the struggles faced by adolescence.

#10. 11-11: Memories Retold

11-11: Memories Retold
  • Release Data: Digixart Entertainment/Bandai Namco Games, 2018
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person

With six different endings and some decent voice acting throughout, you can tell 11-11: Memories Retold is a game made with love and care.

While the third part is a little slow, it is a beautifully written game nonetheless and one that accurately depicts the horrors of World War I without firing a single bullet.

#9. ABZU

ABZU
  • Release Data: Giant Squid/505 Games, 2016
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person

Overall, Abzu is a wonderful trip beneath the waves, abounding in small surprises and impressing with the sheer density of life in certain scenes.

Whether you’re riding a manta ray or zipping along a speedy current like a highway, it makes the natural world fun while adding its own intriguing mysteries to uncover.

#8. Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
  • Release Data: The Chinese Room/SCEE, 2015
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » First-Person

Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture is a masterwork—a gorgeous and subtle experience, which treats you as an adult, without ever indulging in pretense.

It cares about its characters enough to give them interesting and meaningful things to say, while also playing host to some truly breathtaking art direction and music.

#7. RiME

RiME
  • Release Data: Tequila Works, 2017
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person

RiME is a solid adventure game that is an absolute stunner in the presentation department.

The puzzles may not be that difficult, and they start to repeat later in the game, but they remain enjoyable.

It may not have the kind of grand mystery that keeps players coming back, but RiME is certainly a game that’s worth playing at least once.

#6. Until Dawn

Until Dawn
  • Release Data: Supermassive Games/SCEA, 2015
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person

Until Dawn deserves praise for successfully delivering new thrills to both horror games and narrative-driven adventures.

There’s a constant sense of tension whether it’s due to the dire atmosphere or the fear of making a mistake which can cost a character their life.

And with an impressive presentation and excellent replay value, it is a game horror fans should check out.

#5. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
  • Release Data: The Astronauts, 2015
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » First-Person

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter was already great when it released on the PC, and the PS4 version succeeds in re-purposing that same experience for a new audience.

And for the most part, this game delivers an intriguing and thought-provoking detective experience that doesn’t hold your hand.

#4. I Expect You To Die

I Expect You To Die
  • Release Data: Schell Games, 2016
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » First-Person

Through well designed puzzles, intense escape room scenarios, and a kineticism absent in video games on standard screens, I Expect You To Die knows exactly how to leverage the magic of VR, and proves it almost every step of the way.

#3. The Witness

The Witness
  • Release Data: Thekla, Inc, 2016
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » First-Person

The Witness is an intelligent, expertly crafted puzzle adventure game with ceaselessly satisfying gameplay.

It becomes bafflingly complex, yet the free-roaming nature of the island means that you’ll never be stuck for long.

In addition, the way in which it communicates new elements is nothing short of masterful.

All in all, this 3D adventure title is an enormous triumph.

#2. The Talos Principle

The Talos Principle
  • Release Data: Croteam/Devolver Digital, 2015
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » First-Person

The story in this game is relatively light, as the story itself focuses on discovery and exploration.

You play as an unnamed android, and upon waking up, are encouraged to explore your newfound surroundings.

And when your head isn’t spinning from the expertly crafted puzzles, it will be spinning from the philosophies within the story.

#1. What Remains of Edith Finch

What Remains of Edith Finch
  • Release Data: Giant Sparrow/Annapurna Interactive, 2017
  • Genre: Adventure » 3D » First-Person

This game tells a wonderfully riveting story about the Finch family, all through the eyes of their daughter Edith.

And by exploring the house and searching the rooms, you’ll play small scenes from the perspective of each family member.

Simply put, it’s incredibly unique and interesting from a gameplay perspective, and the story it tells is both devastatingly emotional and surprising.

About

Hi, I'm R, and I've been playing video games since I was a kid. My first console was the original PlayStation (the gray one) and I spent countless hours playing Crash Bandicoot series and Spyro series. My second console was the PS2 Fat, and I completed all of the GTA series 100%.
