Play With Me review
Despite its inviting title and rich atmosphere, neither the story nor gameplay in this Saw-styled escape room puzzler manages to capture the imagination.
The Subject review
This maze-like sci-fi puzzler earns a passing grade but trades in richer gameplay opportunity for unwelcome survival elements.
Transpose review
This mind-bending VR physics puzzler swaps story for gameplay but cleverly ensures you'll keep coming back for more.
Vane review
Though beautiful in flight, this open-world PS4 exclusive can't weather its intentionally obtuse design and a relative lack of gameplay.

This point-and-click fantasy adventure gets off to a wonderful start, though as an episodic debut the journey pulls up just as it's getting started.
Whispers of a Machine review

Capcom's beloved defense attorney returns for a high-stakes, surprisingly emotional trilogy-ending courtroom adventure that no series fan will object to.
The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince review
This side-scrolling PS4 exclusive is a lovely fairy tale platforming adventure that stumbles over some pacing and design issues.
The Initiate 2: The First Interviews review
There's more people and admittedly less space than the original, but just as many engaging challenges to be solved in this story-thin, puzzle-centric sequel.
Torn review
While not particularly deep, this VR-exclusive, physics-based scavenger hunt is a rip-roaring good time while it lasts.
