| Sep 30, 2015 at 16:19 | comment | added | DoubleDouble | @RubberDuck The difference is like the difference between a "point and click" adventure game (using the mouse to interact with an environment and figure out how to proceed), and an RPG where you play as a metal smith - increasing your skills at certain aspects of smithing, getting more money, undertaking assignments, upgrading your workspace, making work relationships, etc. | |

You can complete an adventure game with by referring to a walkthrough. RPGs tend to have leveling systems, combat and skill progression that means even with a walkthrough it still requires some skill on the part of the player. Adventures tend to me more about solving the puzzles while RPGs tend to be more about strategy. | |

| Feb 8, 2015 at 4:34 | comment | added | smci | @RubberDuck: not really. Adv. does not necessarily have anything to do with RPG, and vice versa. If you look at these tags as used here, their overlap is small. And there is no generic word for their union. | |
