Globe-trotters - an IFDB Poll
by Kinetic Mouse Car
RSS FeedThis is for games where the PC travels to different countries. The focus of the gameplay is on the travel part, the experience of not just the destination itself but also the mechanic of reaching it.
Requirements:
-Must take place on Earth.
-Travel must be throughout different countries or continents.
This does NOT include games where scenes in different countries exist in only flashbacks rather than having the gameplay actively involve traveling in a present-oriented timeline. It is fine, however, if the game has some flashback moments, as long as they are not used as the primary means of exploration.
Time travel games are not quite what I am looking for, but if it is one where the player travels through different periods of times and locations without heavily relying on flashbacks in the gameplay, that is fine. I have not played the game Jigsaw, but that, I think, would make the cut.
I want this poll to be precise but flexible. If you think you have something that fits the theme, put it on the poll. Don't shy away!

| Arborea, by richard develyn 1 vote "I am going to..." [+]"I am going to kick off my poll with an example to get people started. This is a rather unusual, unique, and contemplative game about experiencing the connection we have with trees in human history. Technically, the gameplay takes place in a simulation rather than "the real world," but it captures the idea of traveling to geographic locations, nonetheless. Travel to the Caribbean, the Amazon, Indonesia, the Himalayas, and more." ( - Full review) --Kinetic Mouse Car... Vote for this game | |
