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 Academy: The First Riddle review
It's held back somewhat by a limited mechanics and lack of gameplay integration, but otherwise this charming fantasy puzzle-fest passes the fun test with flying colours.
In Other Waters review
This sim-styled exploration of an alien ocean is richly imaginative and thoroughly engaging, delving deep into themes that are sure to hit close to home.
Eclipse: Edge of Light review
This alien world VR adventure makes for a bit of jetpack-boosted fun, but the novelty quickly passes without much gameplay or story to support it.
A Fold Apart review
This short but charming paper-based adventure about long-distance relationships wraps story and gameplay together beautifully.
The Unholy Society review
It's hard to divine much worth recommending in this short side-scroller cursed by a faulty combat system and lack of other gameplay.
Murder by Numbers review
Count on solving an abundance of Picross puzzles in this colourful visual novel-styled mystery adventure in 1990s Hollywood.
Woven review
Though not a seamless experience, it's easy to cotton to this charming animal adventure in an open fabric world.
The Complex review
While its gameplay is decidedly simple, this choice-driven FMV thriller is a riveting interactive movie with impressive production values and replayability.
Planet RIX-13 review
There's no escaping its short length and lack of challenge, but this lite sci-fi adventure provides a charming, quick-paced exploration of a retro-styled alien world.
Edgar: Bokbok in Boulzac review
There's no real challenge here to be chicken of, just plenty of whimsical weirdness and a few pesky bugs in this quirky French adventure.
Kentucky Route Zero: Act V review
The episodic magical realist journey circles back around with a short but fitting finale to a memorable series unlike anything else available.
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.
Alternate Jake Hunter: DAEDALUS – The Awakening of Golden Jazz review
This visual novel-styled prequel crafts an intricate mystery that's bogged down somewhat by excessive repetition that impacts its final score.
Some Distant Memory review
Time is not on the side of this beautiful but somewhat superficial post-apocalyptic adventure that barely scratches the surface of the important questions it raises.
