Latest reviews for adventure games

review Tales of the Neon Sea

A Boreal Tenebrae: Act I – I Stand Before You Form Undone

review Boreal Tenebrae: Act I – I Stand Before You, A Form Undone

This surreal retro-console-styled transdimensional adventure winds up being an entertaining adventure that ends before the story is complete.

preview Gamedec hands-on

We investigated the various aspects of this upcoming non-combat RPG cyberpunk mystery and found plenty of promising clues.

review Seven Doors

review The Dreamcatcher

Our first-hand analysis reveals a beautiful if overly abstract exploration of the subconscious that presents more questions than gameplay.
