Shapik: The Moon Quest review
This charming Amanita-style sci-fi puzzler is light on story but gets full marks for presentation and entertaining gameplay.
VirtuaVerse review
Picking up momentum after a slow start, this indie sci-fi story rounds into a beautiful, challenging pixel art adventure that offers much more than meets the eye.
Eclipse: Edge of Light review
This alien world VR adventure makes for a bit of jetpack-boosted fun, but the novelty quickly passes without much gameplay or story to support it.
From Beyond: Prologue review
This MacVenture-style throwback series shows promise, but here and now this Lovecraftian debut is merely a stage-setter for more to come.
The Unholy Society review
It's hard to divine much worth recommending in this short side-scroller cursed by a faulty combat system and lack of other gameplay.
Nick Bounty and the Dame with the Blue Chewed Shoe review
Its puzzles won't give you a run for your money, but Pinhead's comic-noir gumshoe puts his best and funniest foot forward in his first commercial outing.
Planet RIX-13 review
There's no escaping its short length and lack of challenge, but this lite sci-fi adventure provides a charming, quick-paced exploration of a retro-styled alien world.
Beautiful Desolation review
The new isometric adventure from the creators of STASIS lives up to its name, presenting a gorgeous and imaginative future Earth with plenty of room left over for more worldbuilding.
The Suicide of Rachel Foster review
There's an interesting mystery to be explored in this abandoned hotel adventure, but a lack of gameplay and rather lifeless environmental storytelling may be cause for reservation.
A Long Road Home review
Walking a fine line between fun and frustration, RPG and adventure, this indie point-and-click debut falls a little short of its obvious potential.
Mosaic review
This experimental narrative experience weaves together an unusual, intriguing, sometimes obtuse blend of imagery about escaping the drudgery of life.
Jupiter & Mars review
Those looking for a relaxing underwater experience are in for a whale of a time, but it's not particularly deep in either story or gameplay.
SIMULACRA 2 review
This "found phone" sequel dials down its gameplay, and the lack of suspense and unrelatable characters fall well short of a ringing endorsement.
Nobodies review
This modest little production manages to make a name for itself with its dark but intriguing focus on concealing a series of covert terrorist assassinations.
The Curious Tale of the Stolen Pets review
If you're wondering, this VR-exclusive puzzler won't scratch your detective itch but its creative model-sized environments will smother owners with short bursts of abundant cuteness.
