9 Games that are based on popular Books

Video games are able to transport us to far off places and let us play inside the worlds their creators have imagined for us. But before all of this newfangled technology took over, there was another way to escape into the realm of the fantastical: books.

Books, like games can explore diverse themes, cultures, and a variety of characters and settings, although you have to use more of your imagination when it comes to books. But a good number of your favorite games are influenced by (or even directly based on) literature. So here’s 9 games which were actually based on books.

Assassin's Creed - Alamut by Vladimir Bartol
Bedlam - Bedlam
The Witcher - Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher
Enslaved: Odyssey To The West - Journey to the West
