Best Android, iPhone and iPad adventure games of 2015

We're nearly halfway through 2015, and with so many great new adventure games for Android and iOS, it's sometimes hard to keep track. It's time to make some order in that list every gamer has in their head about those games that you still haven't played, but absolutely must not forget to check out.

In this selection, we look at the best iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Phone adventure games of 2015 and 2015 only. This means two things: we will include only the very best games that you won't regret playing, and all of them will be released in 2015.

Is it a murder case or a trip to the land of the dead, these adventure games have a crazy interesting story

The adventure game genre seems to have been around since the early dawn of gaming and needs no introduction, but we ought to say that there is some variety in it: from flat point and click games to more elaborate 3D-esque creations. Naturally, adventure games are all about the plot riddled with twists, and a good story was one of our main requirements when picking the best adventure games. Take a look at them right below: the best Android, iPhone and iPad adventure games of 2015.

#9: Murder in the Hotel Lisbon

Price: $2.99

Download on iOS | Android

With enchanting retro pixel-art graphics, and an engaging gameplay, this game puts you in the role of solving a mega-murder hyper-story. The game also takes pride in its 'crappy jokes', but in reality it is a refreshingly funny, little humorous creation. And quite honestly, how can one resist a game that says it's the 'best game ever*' with the asterisk explained as it being 'not the best game ever'.

The price of Murder in the Hotel Lisbon is set at $2.99, a reasonable cost for this madness of a murder case.

As you can probably already sense, this game does not lack its fair share of humor...
