5. King’s Quest
Sierra Adventure’s King’s Quest franchise was one of the earliest graphic adventure games and is generally viewed as a classic. First released in 1980, the King’s Quest games told fantasy stories about knights, kings, queens, wizards, and many more fantasy tropes. The game was rebooted in 2015 and is a pleasant fantasy tale reminiscent of The Princess Bride.
An old Graham is narrating his past adventures to his curious granddaughter Gwendolyn. You play as the younger Graham in the story, acting out the adventures as Graham relates them. Through the three chapters released so far, Graham earns a knighthood, becomes rightful king, and meets his first love. All the chapters are happy tales with beautiful characters and a general fun fantasy feeling, like early sections of Tolkien’s Hobbit and the Fellowship of the Ring. The first three chapters are available to download on Steam or console, and the remaining chapters are stilll in development.
