Silver Chains review
Despite its slick production values, where this first-person horror adventure breaks down is that it’s just not very scary or interactive enough to maintain suspense.
DARQ review
It's short in length and narratively incoherent, but this atmospheric side-scroller is a dream come true for fans of surreal environmental puzzlers.
Sea of Solitude review
Beneath the shallow gameplay of this gorgeous EA Original is a captivating metaphorical tale of struggling with personal demons.

The Telltale-Marvel team-up has decidedly mixed results, unable to forge the proper relationships between its lead characters.
