Action Adventure

Action adventure is a compromise genre, and it's a good one - there's somewhere to explore, and there's something in it you'll need to handle.

Bob The Robber 5 Temple Adventure is the clearest example, mixing stealth and puzzles with a place worth moving through. Dinosaur Park Jurassic Dino World leans on the exploring, My Army Base pulls toward building and defending instead, and +1 Speed per Step | Obby Mode strips it right down to movement, and that's all you're doing. The balance shifts a lot between them, so it's worth trying two before you decide whether the label means exploring or fighting to you.

There are 5 free games under this tag, all playable in the browser with nothing to install, and between them they cover most of what that rather elastic label can mean.

The pure action end is in Action games, and Challenging Games collects the ones that will make you repeat a section.
