Released for the Game Boy Advance in 2006, Open Season is an action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft. It blends action-adventure and platformer elements.
It landed about 5 years into the GBA's life. Other notable GBA releases from 2006 include Mother 3, Rhythm Tengoku and Drill Dozer.
Ubisoft also made Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge, TMNT and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell for the GBA.
Open Season is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to get lost in a long quest
- you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
- you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want a game you can finish in one short session
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Open Season is like
Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.
Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
