The Wild Case review
This lovely casual adventure with no hidden object searches is sadly undermined by a lack of any compelling story or gameplay.
Little Nightmares II review
While short on new ideas, Tarsier once again rises to the challenge of delivering a richly atmospheric, frighteningly macabre stealth horror experience.
Metamorphosis review
This Kafka-inspired bug adventure remains wonderfully surreal throughout but never develops into anything substantial enough to fully get it off the ground.
Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier review
No monkeying around allowed in this beautiful but gameplay-deficient, unoriginal choice-driven story of one primate species versus another.
Beyond Blue review
There’s no real gameplay to speak of, but this beautiful marine adventure should make for a whale of a few hours of exploring for ocean lovers.
Blair Witch review
Bloober Team’s original entry in the famed horror franchise is a solid psychological thriller with surprisingly little bite.
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.
Close to the Sun review
An otherwise decent Tesla-inspired thriller is held back somewhat by watered-down gameplay and horror elements.

It’s not too long and its focus is very narrow, but you can count on this surreal little corridor adventure to deliver a unique exploratory experience.
Illusion: A Tale of the Mind review
Believe it or not, this charmingly surreal platforming adventure is one of the more enjoyable games you’ve probably never heard of.
My Brother Rabbit review
Bucking the usual casual trend, this beautiful, puzzle-filled scavenger hunt is a short but charming little family-friendly adventure.
STARSHIP COMMANDER: Arcade archived preview
The future is nearly here, in the form of this upcoming cinematic VR space opera controlled by voice recognition technology.
Another Sight review
Its slick production values are the cat’s meow, but this ambitious puzzle-platformer ends up biting off more than it can chew.
