The best adventure games like Conker's Bad Fur Day are Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie and Jak and Daxter. Below are 7, each with the reason it is here — and, at the end, what filtering to adventure costs you.
Filtering to adventure means the place and the story are what you want back, not the challenge. It is the right filter when the thing you remember is where you were rather than what you did.
What you get: A world with a reason to wander it, and writing that survives being read rather than skipped.
What made Conker's Bad Fur Day worth playing in the first place is covered on the full list. This page is the adventure part of that answer, and only the adventure part.
The same team and the same engine, without the hangover.
Bigger, denser, and closer to Conker's sprawling set-piece levels.
The other great 3D platformer with an attitude problem, and it aged very well.
The best crude-comedy game that is genuinely funny rather than just rude.
Sharp writing in a 3D platformer, and the levels are far stranger.
Rare's other N64 collectathon, if you want more of the same era.
Constant comedy shooter, closest thing to Conker's talking-gun energy.
Mechanical depth. Several of the best adventure games have combat that is deliberately unsatisfying, because they want your attention somewhere else.
Specifically, these are strong answers for Conker's Bad Fur Day that are not adventure games, so they are not on this page:
The full list is on games like Conker's Bad Fur Day — 9 picks, no genre filter.
Banjo-Kazooie. The same team and the same engine, without the hangover.
No. Conker's Bad Fur Day released on the Nintendo 64, but a recommendation is only useful if you can play it, so the picks above span platforms and eras. What they share is the genre and the reason.
Anywhere the story and the place matter more than the skill ceiling — point-and-click, walking sims, narrative thrillers and most open worlds. The label alone tells you very little, which is why each pick here says what it actually is.
They split hard. Open-world adventures run to a hundred hours; the narrative ones are often finishable in an evening, and the short ones are usually the better written.
By hand. Each pick was written for the full Conker's Bad Fur Day list first, on what the game actually does, and this page is the part of that list that is adventure — never a genre tag lookup, which is how "best racing games like Super Mario 64" used to be a page on this site.
