Latest reviews for adventure games

Happy Game

review Happy Game

Amanita fans will once again find much to delight in, though its innocent CHUCHEL-like graphics and gameplay conceal a much darker, gorier heart within.

Kraken Academy!!

review Kraken Academy!!

The quirky presentation and eclectic cast of characters outclass the uneven gameplay and storytelling in this top-down, time-looping school adventure.

A Juggler’s Tale

review A Juggler’s Tale

This gorgeously produced side-scroller deftly handles its enjoyable puzzle-platforming gameplay and a poignant story that cleverly strings you along.

Myst (2021)

review Myst (2021)

Whether in VR or on flatscreen, the newly reimagined version of Cyan's seminal classic is sure to be a hit with puzzle-adventure fans new and old.

Sable

review Sable

Far from firing on all cylinders, this visually distinctive open-world science-fantasy adventure can't mask its broken mechanics and underserviced design.

Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The First Cases

review Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The First Cases

This original deduction-driven investigation from the famed Belgian detective's early career is sure to be a not-so-guilty pleasure for mystery fans.

What Happened

review What Happened

This drug-induced descent into madness looks great and means well, but earns a failing grade for its storytelling and lack of gameplay.

Omno

review Omno

Gamers everywhere should give this gorgeous 3D platforming adventure a chance, as it frequently soars above many of its contemporaries.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles

review The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles

The verdict is in, and this 19th century two-games-in-one prequel more than does justice to its beloved predecessors.

Westmark Manor

review Westmark Manor

Its haunting gothic setting is suitably Lovecraftian, but this top-down survival horror messes with the formula with some excessively cumbersome mechanics.
