Where Wind Becomes Quiet review
Though it blows hot and cold in certain areas, overall this first-person adventure is an emotionally powerful story about coping with memory loss.
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.
Sam & Max: This Time It’s Virtual! review
The Freelance Police are back and in fine humour, but this short, uninspired minigame-driven VR experience feels like a bit of a cop-out.
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.
The Wild Case review
This lovely casual adventure with no hidden object searches is sadly undermined by a lack of any compelling story or gameplay.
The Fabled Woods review
This short but scenic hike through the forest could have been memorable, but a lack of gameplay substance leaves much to be desired.
The Last Show of Mr. Chardish review
This short, thoughtful genre-bending adventure looks better than it plays throughout its discrete five-act exploration of art and identity.
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.
There Was the Moon review
This impressive first-person indie adventure is full of abstract narrative intrigue and hauntingly surreal imagery, even if it doesn't quite stick the landing.
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.
Supposedly Wonderful Future review
This heady sci-fi visual novel presents some interesting moral questions, but its gameplay and story integration aren't so great.
Cloudpunk: City of Ghosts review
This sequel-sized DLC expansion delivers both a little more and a little less of what made the original open-world sci-fi adventure so impressive.
Lacuna review
Though plenty compelling the first time through, you'll want to replay this slickly designed choice-driven sci-fi murder mystery at least once to fill in all the gaps.
Flow Weaver review
This Oculus-exclusive VR adventure spins a fun yarn but the inescapable fact is that it's dragged down by implementation issues and lack of any resolution.
