Maquette review
An impressive recursive puzzle world is modeled in beautiful 3D environments, but it's hard to love the characters driving the underlying romance story.
The Magnificent Trufflepigs review
Metal detecting in the scenic English countryside is only a mediocre exercise without enough narrative treasures to unearth along the way.
Overboard! review
Casting aside the traditional whodunit formula, inkle's splashy new adventure is a delightfully fun and highly replayable shipboard murder blame game.
Hitchhiker – A Mystery Game review
Though it takes a few strange turns, this scenic surrealist road trip adventure gets a thumbs-up for its eclectic characters and stories.
Genesis Noir review
This experimental, noir-themed art installation exploring life's big questions begins with a bang but loses momentum before the end.

Like Ace Attorney meets Zoom, this delightfully homemade legal adventure riffs on both online culture and awkward video conferencing.

The narrative goes to some odd places, but this isometric puzzler packs a big-time challenge into its many miniature village locations.
Inspector Waffles review
This amusing retro-styled investigative adventure pops up to the top of the ever-expanding catalogue of anthropomorphic animal mysteries.
The Hand of Glory review
Though its reach slightly exceeds its grasp, this Broken Sword-style comedic mystery can bask in a job largely well done.
Zniw Adventure review
This colourful cartoon dino adventure is a charming nostalgic throwback, though it suffers somewhat from outdated mechanics that haven’t evolved with the times.
Chicken Police: Paint It RED! review
A few questionable gameplay issues come home to roost, but there's far more to crow about in this stylishly tasty black and white buddy cop animal-noir mystery.
Gamescom 2020 round-up: Part 2
Welcome to the killer second half of our demo coverage from this year's online-only version of gamescom.
Superliminal review
This wonderfully surreal environmental puzzler might just give you a whole different perspective on problem solving with everyday objects.
The Hand of Glory – Part One preview
A Broken Sword-style mystery with comedic touches seems to be within reach at the halfway mark of this two-part, single-purchase point-and-click adventure.
Dark Nights with Poe & Munro review
Character chemistry and Lynchian weirdness shine brightest in this choice-driven FMV adventure, though it's dimmed somewhat by pacing issues and melodrama.
