"Point and click games were always my favourite growing up. I spent countless hours on the likes Monkey Island and Broken Sword on my PC as a kid. Console gaming made it harder for the classic point and click adventure genre to live on: I mean, how can you point and click if you don’t have a mouse and a cursor?
PS4 point and click games are in abundance though. Well, the 21st century equivalent at least. Gone may be the literal pointing and clicking that was once so ubiquitous with the puzzle adventure genre, but the form is gaining strength. The calibre of today’s graphics means that developers are more and more wanting to create beautiful and intriguing worlds for us to explore at our own pace. Less than 18 months into this generation, and there’s already a wealth for us to choose from. Here’s our list of 10 of our favourite PS4 point and click games." - GameSpew

"The Szczecin-based indie games publisher/developer RedDeer.Games and Groningen -based (The Netherlands) indie games developer Square Glade Games, are today very glad and thrilled to announce that their Western-inspired base builder/survival game “Above Snakes”, is coming to consoles (PS4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) sometime this year (2025)." - Jonas Ek, TGG..
Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!
Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.
Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.
Broken Sword the Shadow of the Templars was the first point and click I ever played and it was on PlayStation, after that I instantly fell in love with those kinds of games, but i am limited in how many I actually played, because I don't like playing games on PC, the only adventure games I played a PC was broken sword 3&4 and it wasn't horrible, but I just don't like using mouse and keyboard.
I started playing Back to the Future and The Walking Dead season 1 & 2 an it reminded me how much I love adventure games. Those games where different from older P&C games but it still felt the same imo.
I really want more P&C games to show up on PlayStation 4, I'm really happy to see a game like life is strange and I hope other developers become interested in this style of video game storytelling.
I would love a Beneath a Steel Sky remake, it's not quite at the same level as the LucasArts point click but it's closer than any other game has got to matching the writing, humour and design.
Here’s a link to download the game, and good news it's freeware.
