Latest reviews for adventure games

Unbound: Worlds Apart

review Unbound: Worlds Apart

An engaging portal mechanic in this gorgeous side-scrolling adventure ties the challenging action and puzzle elements together brilliantly.

Fate of Kai

review Fate of Kai

This stylish interactive comic is destined to be remembered more for unfulfilled potential than its clever word-manipulation conceit.

Lake

review Lake

There isn't much challenge parceled out, but this beautiful mountain town adventure delivers a wonderfully relaxing, thought-provoking experience.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes

review The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes

Supermassive comes out firing in its choice-driven horror game set during the Iraq War, but it's the characters and storytelling that make it rise above its predecessors.

Five Top Upcoming Adventure Games in December 2021

video preview Five Top Upcoming Adventure Games in December 2021

With a dizzying array of great new games leading up to Christmas, our latest trailer compilation overs a glimpse at some of the best to watch for.

My Beautiful Paper Smile

review My Beautiful Paper Smile

This delightfully surreal black-and-white adventure is richly atmospheric, though you'll have to grin and bear some unfortunate gameplay choices.

Impostor Factory

review Impostor Factory

As similar as it is to the beloved To the Moon, the latest series installment is very much its own distinctive construction in a number of surprising ways.

Tandem: A Tale of Shadows

review Tandem: A Tale of Shadows

The story trails far behind the gameplay in this otherwise enjoyable dual-character puzzle-platformer in a stylish steampunk mansion.

Liberated

review Liberated

A slick graphic novel-style story presentation can't escape the tedium of its side-scrolling action in this gritty neo-noir thriller.

Murder Mystery Machine

review Murder Mystery Machine

Blazing Griffin geared up for Hercule Poirot: The First Cases with this leaner, more demanding but similarly deduction-driven investigation.

The Office Quest

review The Office Quest

There's no disguising its lack of user-friendliness, but this charming absurdist point-and-click comedy should provide a welcome break from the daily grind.
