Five Top Upcoming Adventure Games of January 2021

video preview Five Top Upcoming Adventure Games of January 2021

The new year is upon us, and Tamiil's made a medium-sized trailer compilation of the top adventures bound for release this month.

Twin Mirror

review Twin Mirror

The cracks begin to show right away in a dual-personality thriller that never really reflects the high standards we've come to expect from the creator of Life Is Strange.

An FMV Christmas: Season’s Greetings 2020

feature An FMV Christmas: Season’s Greetings 2020

Since we can’t be together in person, enjoy this collection of personal holiday wishes from many of the year’s top adventure game developers.

Sam & Max Save the World – Remastered

review Sam & Max Save the World – Remastered

It doesn't reproduce the same culture shock of the original, but the Freelance Police look, sound, and play better than ever in this modern makeover of their first episodic season.

Nine Witches: Family Disruption

review Nine Witches: Family Disruption

Though it's relatively easy, this charming alliance of retro-styled presentation and comedic supernatural WWII thriller will ultimately win you over with its zany plot and characters.

The Girl of Glass: A Summer Bird’s Tale

review The Girl of Glass: A Summer Bird’s Tale

This beautifully hand-painted hybrid shatters genre norms with a near-even and equally compelling split of classic adventuring and turn-based RPG combat.

AdventureX: A decade in retrospect

feature AdventureX: A decade in retrospect

There can be no AdventureX this year, just plenty of participants eager to reflect back on what the past ten narrative game conventions in the UK meant to them.

Monkeys & Dragons

review Monkeys & Dragons

This retro-styled adventure tries hard to ape its LucasArts inspiration, but it all goes up in smoke due to a number of major design issues.

Visage

review Visage

To all appearances, this genuinely unnerving, surprisingly substantial supernatural thriller is like the spiritual successor to P.T. that horror fans have been waiting for.

Just Take Your Left

review Just Take Your Left

Though it's haunted by technical issues, this short and charming cartoon adventure gets its gorgeous animation oh-so-right.

Biped

review Biped

Though far from a traditional puzzle game, multiplayer fans in particular will get a kick out of the co-op mode in this cute little robot action-adventure.
