Latest reviews for adventure games

review Impostor Factory

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.

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.

review Murder Mystery Machine

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

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.

review Half Past Fate: Romantic Distancing

Now's the perfect time to treat yourself to a pair of heartwarming character-driven rom-com adventures, the second taking place under a challenging pandemic lockdown.

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.

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.
