10 Video Games That Are Based On Novels
7. Discworld 1 &2 - All of the Discworld series
Okay, so this is sort of the inverse of The Witcher entry because I don't think I could count how many people I know who have read The Discworld novels. And with good reason: they're amazing, they're hilarious, they're way more politically relevant than you'd initially assume. Terry Pratchett was a genius and I miss him every day.
Discworld makes it on to this list because of the criminally underrated, seemingly forgotten, for the most part, Discworld video games from back in the early nineties.
The games were point-and-click adventure games, in the same vein as Monkey Island and the like - y'know, the games with puzzles that made precisely zero logical sense and no one has completed without a walkthrough. No you didn't, stop lying, you liar.
The games perfectly capture the humour and world of the novels - in part no doubt because Pratchett had final say on almost everything in the game.
Combine all of that with Eric Idle of Monty Python playing Rincewind, as well as Rob Bryden and Tony Robinson in the mix too, and you've got a game so good that not even that goddamn love custard octopus puzzle will get to you. Nah, it still will.
