The 14 best Adventure games on PlayStation 2, ranked from 3,574 critic and player ratings.

The best Adventure game on PlayStation 2 right now is Beyond Good & Evil, with a critic score of 91/100 — updated November 2026.

How this ranking is built
  • Games are ranked on the aggregated critic score out of 100 imported from IGDB and Metacritic, never on Tier's own grades.
  • A game only enters the ranking with at least 80 external ratings, so a single enthusiastic review never outranks a proven classic.
  • Each game is ranked in one genre only, the one that defines it best, so the same title never tops two different genre charts.
  • Community grades from F to S are shown next to every game, and only stated as a fact above 5 Tier ratings.
  • Release window covered: 1970 to 2026.
  • 14 games are listed on this page, carrying 3,574 ratings between them.
  • Rankings are recomputed hourly; this one was last rebuilt on 13 November 2026.

01 Beyond Good & Evil Beyond Good & Evil 2003 · 399 ratings · finished by 27% Beyond Good & Evil is an action-adventure game with elements of puzzle-solving and stealth-based games. The player controls the protagonist, Jade, from a third-person perspective. Jade can run, move stealthily, jump over obstacles and pits, climb ladders, push or bash doors and objects, and flatten herself against walls. As Jade, the player investigates a number of installations in search of the truth about a war with an alien threat. 91 /100
02 ICO ICO 2001 · 300 ratings · finished by 26% An action-adventure game in which a boy is abandoned and taken to a massive castle by his people. After exploring it for a while, he meets a girl who speaks a different language than him, then decides to get both of them out of the castle grounds by leading her along, in order to escape the shadow-like creatures that frequently try to kidnap the girl. 90 /100
03 Okami Okami 2006 · 261 ratings Set sometime in classical Japanese history, Ōkami combines several Japanese mythology and folklore to tell the story of how the land was saved from darkness by the Shinto sun goddess named Amaterasu, who took the form of a white wolf with celestial markings covering its fur. It features a distinct sumi-e-inspired cel-shaded visual style and the Celestial Brush, a gesture-system used to perform miracles. 90 /100
04 Silent Hill 3 Silent Hill 3 2003 · 428 ratings Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat. 88 /100
05 Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) 2005 · 558 ratings · finished by 60% 85 /100
06 Indigo Prophecy Indigo Prophecy 2005 · 414 ratings Indigo Prophecy is an action-adventure game that involves the player in making decisions to alter the narrative. The name change in North America was made to avoid confusion with Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 documentary film, which was released in 2004. Indigo Prophecy introduced elements like ethical ambiguity, romance, the inability to perish, and interactive storytelling that would endure in Quantic Dream later games. 85 /100
07 Broken Sword 3 - The Sleeping Dragon Broken Sword 3 - The Sleeping Dragon 2003 · 96 ratings · finished by 8% 82 /100
08 Silent Hill: Origins Silent Hill: Origins 2007 · 137 ratings Silent Hill: Origins is the fifth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a prequel to the original game. As in the previous entries, the player move back and forth between nightmare and real versions of the town, gathering items used to solve puzzles and open up new areas. Monsters of various types provide obstacles and, in series tradition, are mostly disturbingly twisted versions of humanity. The main character can fight with his bare fists or use melee weapons. Unlike previous games in the series, melee weapons break after a time. There are also one-shot items that can be thrown and several guns. There is no HUD, but the edge of the screen turns red when the protagonist is near death. 80 /100
09 Syberia 2 Syberia 2 2004 · 206 ratings · finished by 10% 80 /100
10 Escape from Monkey Island Escape from Monkey Island 2000 · 155 ratings This is the fourth chapter of the Monkey Island series. As normal, prepare to find lots of salty humor and engaging game play from this legendary series. Loaded with lusciously rendered backgrounds and more monkeys than you can handle, Escape from Monkey features an original cinematic story full of drama. The game is highlighted by hundreds of challenging puzzles. 90 /100
11 Syberia Syberia 2002 · 323 ratings · finished by 11% 77 /100
12 Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Silent Hill: Shattered Memories 2009 · 117 ratings 75 /100
13 Obscure Obscure 2004 · 90 ratings 72 /100
14 Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon 2003 · 90 ratings 60 /100
