Dungeons and Dragons casts its creative, communicative shadow over adventure video games, much like chess does over puzzle games. Some games try to recreate that D&D feeling with fantasy adventures and grand epic tales drawing on Tolkien-style characters. Others put you in charge of creating the sort of stories that arise during D&D role-play sessions.
The games in this list are emergent ways to tell stories. Some of these, like Sea of Thieves and Valheim, put you in worlds that offer opportunities for adventures. Others, like Loop Hero, task you with setting up a challenge for adventurers to take on. Then there are games like Wildermyth and Road 96, that have near-magical algorithms that let you influence and evolve adventure stories by the choices and performance of your characters.
This list includes 85 games from the last 50 years, with 1,261 likes. They come from a range of different genres and play-styles and are all good games if you want to experience D&D stories.
