Galador: The Prince and the Coward review
A whole lot is lost in translation, we're afraid, as this 1998 Polish fantasy adventure is finally localized into English.
Chasing Static review
This short but atmospheric adventure effectively echoes early PlayStation horror titles, though its lack of depth lags behind its abundant potential.
Slice of Sea review
Mateusz Skutnik's stylish otherworldly side-scroller presents an enthralling world to fathom as you piece together its wordless mysteries.
The Sundew review
This side-scrolling cyberpunk pixel art adventure sure looks enticing, but both gameplay and storytelling issues may prove harder to digest.
My Beautiful Paper Smile review
This delightfully surreal black-and-white adventure is richly atmospheric, though you'll have to grin and bear some unfortunate gameplay choices.
Happy Game review
Amanita fans will once again find much to delight in, though its innocent CHUCHEL-like graphics and gameplay conceal a much darker, gorier heart within.
Sable review
Far from firing on all cylinders, this visually distinctive open-world science-fantasy adventure can't mask its broken mechanics and underserviced design.
Critters for Sale review
This unique anthology of retro-styled 1-bit adventures pays off with an abundance of nightmare weirdness and deeply unsettling ambience.
The Corruption Within review
Although plagued somewhat by its short length, this atmospheric retro-styled slideshow adventure brings out the best of the familiar gothic horror genre.
Creepy Tale 2 review
The dark fairytale sequel feels more visually distinctive than its predecessor, but it's haunted by too many missteps proving that bigger isn't always better.
Minute of Islands review
The hours spent tooling around Studio Fizbin's gorgeous archipelago in this clever, emotionally powerful puzzle-platforming adventure will make you glad you chose to play it.
Ultreïa review
This slickly designed sci-fi adventure sure looks good, but there's little to push it above and beyond to a better-rounded experience.
Papetura review
Though playtime is cut understandably short, this lovely hand-designed papercraft adventure unfolds with abundant charm.
Don’t Forget Me review
Though it poses some interesting concepts, this sci-fi pixel art adventure's problematic writing and underwhelming gameplay result in an unmemorable experience.
Devotion review
Those who relish a more personal, dread-filled type of horror than abject terror will feel great affection for Red Candle's long-awaited follow-up to Detention.
