Chicory: A Colorful Tale review
A few optional boss fights are easily glossed over by a tasty blend of whimsically charming world painting and a surprisingly poignant underlying story.
Backbone review
This gorgeous neo-noir animal mystery leaves plenty to chew on as it transforms into a genre-breaking art house adventure.
The Long Gate review
Though filled with challenging science-based puzzles, this beautiful but methodical edutainment adventure is a bit too laborious to unlock its full potential.
Sol 705 review
This short indie sci-fi adventure shines brightest in its presentation and wacky ideas, but both story and gameplay execution are noticeably spotty.
Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town review
This classic-styled pirate-themed adventure will mostly be a blessing for point-and-click fans, though it breaks down somewhat with a rushed finale.
Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town hands-on preview
An early look at this upcoming classic-styled pirate-themed adventure suggests there may just be treasure ahead for point-and-click fans.
Creaks review
Amanita's latest is a beautifully textured, cleverly layered puzzle-platformer that never strains under the weight of its abundant creativity.
The Academy: The First Riddle review
It's held back somewhat by a limited mechanics and lack of gameplay integration, but otherwise this charming fantasy puzzle-fest passes the fun test with flying colours.
Pendula Swing – The Complete Journey review
The complete seven-part series is light on gameplay but provides a timely and uplifting exploration of social issues in a faux-1920s fantasy context.
A Fold Apart review
This short but charming paper-based adventure about long-distance relationships wraps story and gameplay together beautifully.
We. The Revolution review
The verdict is in: This beautiful French Revolution era judicial sim has plenty of intriguing elements but some of the fun is lost in the constant gameplay upheaval.
The Mystery of Woolley Mountain review
This comic time travel romp is a charming, distinctly British point-and-click adventure with far more peaks than valleys.
Pendula Swing: Episodes 1-3 review
Nearly halfway through, we're still oscillating on this socially conscious, seven-part series set in a fantasy version of the Roaring Twenties.
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.
