Adventure game reviews
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.
I Saw Black Clouds review
Those willing to overlook a lack of gameplay will find a darkly compelling live-action thriller with plenty of replay value.
Lust from Beyond review
More action-oriented and rough around the edges, the extremely graphic sequel to Lust for Darkness should still fulfill any deep yearning for erotic horror thrills.
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.
Mark & Lara: Partners In Justice review
This visual novel-styled murder mystery shows promise in its two-player co-op conceit, but will leave you questioning why more wasn't done with it.
Sanity of Morris review
Its relative ease and a few rough edges may threaten to drive you crazy, but this conspiracy-tinged thriller is an otherwise enjoyable stealth-adventure hybrid.
Backbone review
This gorgeous neo-noir animal mystery leaves plenty to chew on as it transforms into a genre-breaking art house adventure.
