Latest reviews for adventure games

feature Book reviews: The Sierra Adventure and Not All Fairy Tales Have Happy Endings

Shawn Mills and Ken Williams provide a treasure trove of Sierra history and nostalgia in their comprehensive and remarkably complementary nonfiction books.

review Krystopia: Nova’s Journey

This puzzling sci-fi sequel shines brighter than its predecessor with increased gameplay variety and character interaction, though it fades in the end with another lack of closure.

review Shut In

This impressively atmospheric pixel art adventure about dealing with agoraphobia gets the most out of its confined environment and limited play time.

review Lucifer Within Us

There are plenty of strong elements in this unique supernatural detective mystery, but its ease and streamlined approach barely give them a chance to come out in force.

review Chicken Police

A few questionable gameplay issues come home to roost, but there's far more to crow about in this stylishly tasty black and white buddy cop animal-noir mystery.

review Paradise Killer

This imaginative, beautifully realized open-world murder mystery will be heaven-sent for those who enjoy the freedom to investigate at will.
