First-person adventure is one of the oldest computer and video game genres. First-person adventures tend to focus on puzzles, exploration and character-interaction with no shooting or action elements, though some also feature elements from other genres, including action games and role-playing games. The definition covers games with varying technology levels — from text adventures to the modern 3D first-person adventure games such as Myst and The Last Express. Most modern first-person adventure games use a point and click interface enabling the player to interact with objects or characters in the game-world.

First-person adventure is also controversially used as a term for games which are a combination of first person shooters and action-adventures, such as Azrael's Tear,Geist, and Metroid Prime.
