    This unique puzzle game is remade for the PlayStation 4, with hard but fun puzzles and an Indiana Jones like character, you'll be having a lot of fun with the game. Don't expect an AAA-title, just a very fun puzzle game.

    This remaster enhances the original, but also presents the same shortcomings. It's not a bad game, but it feels slightly outdated and it's not particularly long.

    Adam's Venture: Origins is fun, mainly because of its enjoyable story and engaging puzzles. However, its short length makes the price tag seem unreasonable, especially when you consider the fact that Adam's gameplay antics haven't exactly aged well.

    Adam's Quest Origins is a bad adventure game and a barely good puzzle game. The environments looks good to watch but tearing everywhere and a lot of others technical problem make it not very good to play.

    A pacifist game that could have been better, but as it is it's just a short and easy puzzle game.

    Adam's Venture: Origins is an harmless adventure; more than a bad game, it's a very bad remake.

    On a technical level, the game is simply a shambles, with amateurish animation and obtrusive texture pop-in accompanying your every step. [June 2016, p.87]

    A surprisingly awesome adventure
    Adam’s Venture Origins is an action adventure puzzle game where you play as Adam…
    and are accompanied along your journey with a lady named Evelyn.
    That’s right
    a story about Adam and eve set in the 1920s
    And as you may or may not have guessed, this game tries its hardest to be uncharted with puzzles, and it surprisingly comes quite close to pulling it off
    at least with the relationship of Evelyn and Adam..
    They are constantly going back and forth with each other giving the other a hard time, and I loved it...
    Their lingo did break the immersion a bit
    the banter seemed extremely modern for being set in the 20s
    I think it would’ve been even better if they threw in some copacetic and bees knees
    And while I loved the copacetic setting these chapters took place…
    Some laziness would coincidentally ruin things like the water for example…
    it’s completely non interactive...
    Even when it’s part of the main story path… no splashes… no weight…
    again breaking the immersion a bit…
    To add to the uncharted similarities, chapters go across the screen when a new one begins… there’s platforming, ropes to swing across… and then there’s the ancient treasure…
    you’ll take a trip to the garden of Eden as well as Solomon’s temple
    But unlike uncharted, there’s no combat here.. There are some sly cooper like stealth sections... but the meat of this game is its puzzles... admittedly some puzzles felt a little too close together.. But for the most part I felt like they were spread near perfectly through this 4 and a half hour journey.
    These puzzles are all fairly simple to understand and are ever changing throughout the game...
    sure you may do the same styled math puzzle 3 times in a row in one chapter… but you’ll never see it again later on…
    Some puzzles you may not get the rules too..
    I for example never understood the 2 dynamite puzzles...
    luckily I still got through them by winging it…
    so even if you’re stumped, you can get through most if not all puzzles by trial and error
    While Adam’s Adventure’s budget and lack of care for detail does show every once in a while..
    I completed the game wanting more...
    I laughed at the jokes…
    I cared about the characters... and I loved solving the puzzles
    Witch careful crafting, there’s some potential magic here…
    I give Adam’s Venture Origins

    Money vs. fun I give it a 10. If more expensive (say over 5) then I would rather not recommend it.
    Graphics and acting are not AAA or good quality indy developer though they are serviceable.
    The puzzles however are very fun and put you to think.
    They are very diverse (the game is short -took me 5 hours, most of it trying to figure out the solutions- and not repetitive at all).

    If you don't mind the dated presentation, and you are into puzzles, then I recommend this game.    … Full Review »
