Latest reviews for adventure games

Detective from the Crypt

review Detective from the Crypt

This supernatural point-and-click adventure is beautifully atmospheric, but no substantial investigative gameplay ever really materializes.

Root Film

review Root Film

While still very much grounded in visual novel-style gameplay, the spiritual successor to Root Letter is a much-improved encore for fans of murder mysteries.

Operation: Tango

review Operation: Tango

It takes two to enjoy this slick asymmetrical co-op spy thriller, which is sneaky fun while it lasts, especially when you're forced to hustle.

Creepy Tale 2

review Creepy Tale 2

The dark fairytale sequel feels more visually distinctive than its predecessor, but it's haunted by too many missteps proving that bigger isn't always better.

Hadr

review Hadr

Making objects vanish with a magician's cloth is a clever conceit while it lasts, though any real challenge disappears right along with them.

The Forgotten City

review The Forgotten City

Reimaged from an award-winning Skyrim mod, this slickly produced time-looping mystery in a cursed Roman city is a truly memorable experience.

Where Wind Becomes Quiet

review Where Wind Becomes Quiet

Though it blows hot and cold in certain areas, overall this first-person adventure is an emotionally powerful story about coping with memory loss.

Almost My Floor

review Almost My Floor

This impressive point-and-click horror/detective adventure is elevated by its stunning comic book art and clever dual-character narrative.

Sam & Max: This Time It’s Virtual!

review Sam & Max: This Time It’s Virtual!

The Freelance Police are back and in fine humour, but this short, uninspired minigame-driven VR experience feels like a bit of a cop-out.

Dr Livingstone, I Presume?

review Dr Livingstone, I Presume?

There are puzzles aplenty in this Africa-themed escape-room-style adventure, though it ails somewhat from drab design and a superficial exploration of its titular subject.
