Telltale went out of business, but the genre is doing fine. Others continue to make games.
> They are more like "Choose your own adventure" novels - but a major criticism is you always end up in the same place at the end so your choices are largely irrelevant.
They are like Choose Your Own Adventure novels, but I think it's unfair to say you end up with the same ending. I know games where, based on your decisions, people may die in the middle of the game. Whether they're alive or not does lead to a different story.
Even in The Walking Dead series, there's a game with a very different ending depending on who you choose to get killed.
The games are much easier than the old adventure games of the 90's. For me, though, that's a blessing. I simply cannot devote as much time to solving those types of games, and I appreciate they've made adventure games for someone like myself.
The point is that if you liked adventure games, you'll likely enjoy these games as well.
