SAMUDRA review
This side-scrolling underwater adventure is steeped in rich atmosphere, though its middling gameplay and vague storytelling threaten to sink much of the fun.
Fire Tonight review
Though its tale of separated lovers is charming while it lasts, this isometric adventure is so short and simple that its gameplay potential quickly goes up in smoke.
Lost Words: Beyond the Page review
This dual-world side-scroller has lovely pictures and a thoughtfully written story, though you won't find much gameplay complexity or challenge here.
Call of the Sea review
Though its story offers few surprises, this gorgeous, puzzle-filled island adventure with a Lovecraftian influence proves to be highly alluring.
The Last Campfire review
This charming and surprisingly emotional environmental puzzler will warm your heart if never overly tax your brain.
Spirit of the North review
This open world fox adventure looks and sounds great, but it lacks the sly gameplay and backstory to bring the experience to life.
The Flower Collectors review
Inspired by Hitchcock's Rear Window, this voyeuristic mystery sees its promising concept partially uprooted by passive, challenge-free gameplay.
Lair of the Clockwork God review
It's been a long time since we were last blessed with a Ben and Dan adventure, but this charming and consistently funny platforming hybrid has proven well worth the wait.
LUNA: The Shadow Dust review
This stylish puzzler shines brightest in its presentation, though the gameplay doesn't have quite the same lustre as the gorgeous art and sound.
Tangle Tower review
Things are looking up for whodunit fans, as Detective Grimoire is back with another painterly, puzzle-filled mystery to unravel, and this time he's got company.
Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure review
This Lovecraft-inspired point-and-click adventure summons forth a gorgeous but narratively confusing tale of comedy cosmic horror.
Clam Man review
It's not very deep, but the constant stream of quips and gags should make it worth shelling out for this amusing little marine-themed adventure.
Herald: Book I & II review
The first half of this four-part interactive period drama cruises right along with memorable characters, immersive setting and compelling slow-burn story.
The Walking Dead: The Final Season review
Revived from the grave itself, the four-part series by Telltale and Skybound is a welcome send-off that provides a worthy closure for its beloved protagonist's story.
Detective Pikachu review
This 3DS exclusive catches lightning in a bottle with a charming mix of Pokémon and lighthearted mystery adventure.
