The next generation of Layton adventures inherits many of the same good qualities, though it’s still dogged by poor integration.

Blending exploration, puzzle-solving and light action, this island excursion proves that platforming adventures are far from washed up.
Little Nightmares review
More stealth-survival than puzzle-platformer, this intensely creepy side-scroller is sure to feed your horror craving.

Although failing to properly meld its story and gameplay, this physics puzzler is a solid Portal clone in formula if not execution.

The new season kicks off with a two-part debut that's slicker than ever, though it ventures largely through very familiar territory.
Footprints Games - Detective Gallo interview
For news of their comic-noir mystery, we went straight to the top of the pecking order for a chat with brothers Francesco and Maurizio De Angelis.
The Guest review
This twisted hotel puzzler provides plenty of challenge, but doesn’t have nearly enough room for a fully-rounded adventure.
ABZÛ review
Though light in actual gameplay, there’s nothing shallow about this breathtaking underwater excursion.
