Latest reviews for adventure games

The White Door

review The White Door

One's enjoyment of this largely black and white, split-screen puzzler depends on whether you see its unapologetic weirdness as a feature or a serious knock against it.

Ourea

review Ourea

This lovely environmental puzzler could have rocked if not for its painfully short length that only teases bigger, better things.

Museum: Volumes I and II

review Museum: Volumes I and II

This two-part 3D puzzler exhibits a few distinct cultural environments to explore, but otherwise isn't really worth the price of admission.

Tales from Off-Peak City: Volume 1 – Caetano’s Slice

review Tales from Off-Peak City: Volume 1 – Caetano’s Slice

Cosmo D's surreal character-driven adventure is light on gameplay but delivers plenty of tasty Lynchian weirdness.

Return of the Phantom

flashback review Return of the Phantom

With MicroProse revived, the time is right to delve deep into the largely unheralded 1993 adventure and give it the high score it richly deserves.

Twilight Path

review Twilight Path

This VR exclusive wends its way through a slick and entertaining puzzle-adventure fantasy experience, though it skids to a stop before quite reaching the end.

The Pillar

review The Pillar

This lovely indie puzzler hopes to stand tall with the likes of The Witness, but its lack of gameplay and world-building substance leave it coming up a little short.

Helheim Hassle

review Helheim Hassle

We're going out on a limb in calling this the most entertaining Viking-themed, body desecrating side-scroller ever made.

Florence

review Florence

This short comic book-styled interactive romance is easy to fall in love with, but parting too soon will be such sweet sorrow.

Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town

review Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town

This classic-styled pirate-themed adventure will mostly be a blessing for point-and-click fans, though it breaks down somewhat with a rushed finale.

Superliminal

review Superliminal

This wonderfully surreal environmental puzzler might just give you a whole different perspective on problem solving with everyday objects.
