Top PicksArticles by Peter Mattsson:
Lake Ridden review
Blending horror, humour and puzzles, this beautiful first-person adventure has something of an identity crisis with a compelling mystery lurking just below the surface.
Dark Train review
This wordless paper-based puzzler provides a beautiful if bewildering steampunk journey though an imaginative dystopia on rails.
Thaumistry: In Charm’s Way review
Industry legend Bob Bates hasn't lost his IF magic, conjuring up a funny modern day text adventure for today's adventure gamer.
Tales of Cosmos review
This interplanetary sci-fi puzzler is quirky fun to explore, if noticeably light on actual world-building to ground it.
The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker review
You'll need to carefully couch your questions in this flawed but compelling keyword-driven FMV mystery.
Tacoma review
Though its gameplay is largely weightless, Fullbright's new character-driven sci-fi adventure is a compelling tale set far from home.
Sandra and Woo in the Cursed Adventure review
Despite some swear-inducing challenges, this lengthy comic-based fantasy will win you over with its characters, worlds and style.
The Wardrobe review
This (re-)animated comic adventure is packed with fun pop culture references, along with a few puzzle skeletons best left in the closet.
CAYNE: A STASIS Story review
The surprisingly meaty sci-fi prequel to STASIS raises the bar for freeware adventures, delivering another stellar sci-fi horror experience.
Tales review
Adventure fans will certainly want to check out this classic-styled journey through literary myths and folklore.
The Descendant review
Take it or leave it: the rushed series finale is a disappointing end to a promising but uneven post-apocalyptic series.
Her Majesty’s SPIFFING review
This comic sci-fi adventure is highly polished and filled with British quips, though it feels more like the abbreviated launch of a bigger adventure to come.
Silence review
Daedalic's sequel to The Whispered World is a gorgeous, emotionally moving experience with just a few narrative weak spots.
Demetrios: The BIG Cynical Adventure review
This colourfully snarky cartoon indie is a quality adventure, with an updated option to flush any unwanted toilet humour.
Wailing Heights review
The supernatural, body-hopping musical adventure is a howling good time with a thin story and just a few rough edges.
