6. 📰 Which Gamebook to choose? - Guide for Beginners (direct link) (👍5 👎0)

from Gamebooks / Choose Your Own Adventure / Fighting Fantasy (!gamebooks@feddit.uk)

Which Gamebook to choose? - Guide for Beginners

This list only shows books that I know a lot about or I've read This series is the grandad of Gamebooks. The lore reminds me of Warcraft, and the gameplay feels as if Diablo was shrunken down into a book Each book will feature 2 to 3 Acts, in each act, you'll have a number of quests. Cons- Book 1 is not bad, but it doesn't represent what the series has become. This book was created to be an accessible entry into Gamebooks. It might also add to the replayability of the book Each book represents a location on the world map and everything can become interconnected. Nothing in this book is complex, everything is very simple, but, well crafted. I'll also update the list below with more books as I find them 🖊️️🤖
