Sunday Gold review
Players call on shrewd puzzle and strategy skills to pull off thrilling heists set in blustery, futuristic London.
The Dark Prophecy review
A short adventure with beautiful pixel art and a delightful fantasy soundtrack. However, it's marred by technical glitches, poor puzzle design, and shallow characterization.
BROK the InvestiGator review
With puzzles to solve and bad guys to punch, BROK the InvestiGator is a game that will keep you hooked until the very end.
Dad’s Monster House review
There's room for improvement on the horror front, but this charmingly offbeat black-and-white adventure is otherwise solidly constructed.
Highly Likely review
It's pretty much certain that you'll find this gorgeous but gameplay-deprived side-scroller a tedious slog with your hand held the entire way (except when you need it).
Unbound: Worlds Apart review
An engaging portal mechanic in this gorgeous side-scrolling adventure ties the challenging action and puzzle elements together brilliantly.
Onirike review
Though lacking in puzzle challenge, this lovely Burton-esque action-adventure is a dream come true for those up for some surreal 3D platforming.
Almost My Floor review
This impressive point-and-click horror/detective adventure is elevated by its stunning comic book art and clever dual-character narrative.
Dr Livingstone, I Presume? review
There are puzzles aplenty in this Africa-themed escape-room-style adventure, though it ails somewhat from drab design and a superficial exploration of its titular subject.
Maskmaker review
Prepare to face some excessive narration, but this creative body-swapping fantasy adventure is an otherwise wonderfully immersive VR experience.
Machinika Museum review
Though coming up a little short on production value, this sci-fi-tinged The Room-style puzzler exhibits all the other positive qualities as its acclaimed inspirations.
NUTS review
You'd be crazy to pass up this boldly designed, delightfully unique nature sim with a surprisingly compelling story to crack at the center of it all.
unmemory review
Interactive fiction is not forgotten, as proven by this clever blend of text, images, puzzles and compelling Memento-style storytelling.
TOHU review
If you're angling for a charming Amanita-style adventure, this one is sure to hook you with its beautiful graphics and variety of puzzles.
Just Take Your Left review
Though it's haunted by technical issues, this short and charming cartoon adventure gets its gorgeous animation oh-so-right.
