FixFox review
Join a foxy mechanic and her toolbox sidekick on a sweet-yet-sour quest to mend a broken world.
We Were Here Forever review
This two-player co-op series puzzles its way toward highly anticipated character exposés.
Leprechaun Shadow review
The charmingly noir-tinged third Sir Typhil adventure is the biggest so far, though it comes up short whenever it veers too far into RPG territory.
Catsperience review
Those expecting to experience the story through the perspective of a cat will find that its tame reality ends up being more about codes and combinations.
Poltergeist Treasure review
Sir Typhil returns in a much more substantial adventure, but the stealth sequences are sure to scare off all but the most diehard series fans.
Unicorn Dungeon review
We look back at Sir Typhil's first game, a short, modest fantasy adventure dragged down by frustrating roguelike elements that feel shoehorned in.
Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space - A Remastered Comparison review
This five-episode collection of interconnected cases, released as a single remastered edition, complements the classic gameplay and comically absurd humour of the original episodes superbly.
Lost Brothers review
While nice enough to look at, there's no sign of any actual gameplay, story development, or polish in this brief poor man's Firewatch-style adventure.
Until 9:15 a.m. review
It won't take long to play, but this charming little hand-drawn puzzler will help while away a couple hours of sweetly entertaining fun.
Syberia: The World Before review
The superb fourth installment of Kate Walker's adventures is the one you've been waiting for all this time, and a fitting swan song for the late Benoît Sokal.
Nelson and the Magic Cauldron: The Journey review
Though it speeds a little too quickly to its destination, the shorter but slightly sweeter sequel brews up another charming little cartoon fantasy adventure.
Time Loader review
This side-scrolling, time-hopping environmental puzzler starring a miniature robot vehicle is sure to grab you with its entertaining, nostalgia-fueled gameplay.
Syberia: The World Before hands-on preview
With its launch mere weeks away, there's time for one more early glimpse at what lies ahead in the next adventure of Kate Walker.
Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One review
It makes a few decisions that will leave you of two minds, but this origin story is a substantial, thoroughly engaging collection of island mysteries.
Lone McLonegan review
This comic western adventure unfortunately shoots itself in the foot with tedious fetch quests and paper-thin story and characters.
