Viewfinder review

Viewfinder review

Viewfinder’s shining achievement is its brilliantly executed set of reality-bending mechanics that are such fun to play with that its tenuous story and relatively simple puzzles are easy to overlook... Read more

Mythargia review

Mythargia review

You can’t help but feel like a true conspiracy theorist exploring the beautifully eerie pixel art world of Mythargia with all its mysterious supernatural elements. As a journalist in search of clues about secret human experiments, a bit more control over how to compile the evidence into your article would’ve been welcome, but collecting it all feels very rewarding along the way...

The Creepy Syndrome review

The Creepy Syndrome review

The idea behind this quirky anthology of four very distinct anecdotes is commendable, but its blink-and-you-missed-it brevity does not pair well with its already limited chill factor, leaving The Creepy Syndrome feeling not particularly worthwhile... Read more

Ashina: The Red Witch review

Ashina: The Red Witch review

Ashina: The Red Witch isn't an ambitious game, but as a short and simple retro-styled narrative adventure it is fun and functional enough for a mild recommendation to those who enjoy this style of anime fantasy... Read more

The Tartarus Key review

Those who fondly remember cracking conundrums in The 7th Guest’s Stauf Mansion or feel nostalgic for the early 3D graphics of Resident Evil’s Spencer Mansion will feel right at home in The Tartarus Key, with its plethora of engaging puzzles and well-written cast that’ll welcome you in and make your stay a memorable one...

Blue Wednesday review

Blue Wednesday review

In celebrating a love of music, Blue Wednesday is less a full-fledged adventure than a casual version of “Piano Hero” with some dialogue, exploration and other mini-games mixed in, all wrapped in a cutesy-looking but uncomfortable story about whether it’s worthwhile chasing your dreams...

Roadwarden review

Roadwarden review

Roadwarden is a highly compelling, vividly realized text-based expedition into a dynamic fantasy setting, with a deep and layered story that allows players to experience as much or as little as they choose while deciding what kind of role they want to play in its deceptively vast world...

Torn Away is a beautifully produced narrative adventure with various gameplay elements that hits you hard in the feels as you guide a ten-year-old child back home to her family across a continent ravaged by war... Read more

[I] doesn't exist review

71
[I] doesn't exist review

While it doesn’t quite reach the allegorical heights it aspires to, if you like text adventures or simply enjoy games that subvert the role of the player, then [I] doesn’t exist should keep you solidly entertained for a few hours... Read more

Under the Waves review

Under the Waves review

The otherwise moving narrative of Under the Waves misses out on some lost opportunities, but if you have an affinity for collecting, exploration and ocean preservation, you'll effortlessly immerse yourself for hours in this enchanting, beautiful underwater adventure... Read more

The Expanse: A Telltale Series review

The Expanse: A Telltale Series review

Like an interactive multi-episode spinoff of the TV show, The Expanse leaves room for improvement but offers a solid sci-fi experience in which time seems to fly by... Read more

Lifeless Moon review

Lifeless Moon review

Toning down the puzzles this time around wasn’t the best idea, but otherwise Lifeless Moon delivers more of what made its predecessor enjoyable for the most part, gorgeously presenting its well-told story of a scientific experiment gone wrong, and the peril and promise of the unknown... Read more

Incubus: A ghost-hunters tale review

Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case review

Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case review

Hercule Poirot: The London Case is a mixed bag for fans of Agatha Christie and adventure games. They will be thrilled to put the little Belgian detective through his paces once again, but the mystery itself doesn't fully satisfy... Read more

The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo review

The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo review

At first the unusual art style and uncanny hand-animated world of The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo feels uniquely captivating, but delve a little deeper and its raw mechanics and unclear puzzle design make for a gameplay experience as fragmented as its protagonist... Read more
