Unknown Fate review
Look before you leap into this surreal 3D puzzle-platformer, as its suffers a few misfires in its Portal-like approach.
Bury me, my Love review
This narrative-driven, heavily-branching refugee story is a deeply touching tale conveyed entirely through text messages.
Trüberbrook review
This stunning German adventure made with real miniature sets is bubbling with charm, even if its ambitious narrative rushes a bit too rapidly to its conclusion.
Tick Tock: A Tale for Two review
This two-player co-op adventure provides some lite puzzling fun while it lasts, but time is up just when it should really be getting started.
Eastshade review
This gorgeously expansive art-themed adventure takes the genre in a truly impressive direction, becoming one of 2019's early highlights.
The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince review
This side-scrolling PS4 exclusive is a lovely fairy tale platforming adventure that stumbles over some pacing and design issues.
Rainswept review
What it lacks in gameplay, this stylish small town murder mystery largely makes up in a steady stream of rich character interaction.

Like an intricate puzzle box, our examination of the popular series contains multiple layers, with the first three games in a single review.
Illusion: A Tale of the Mind review
Believe it or not, this charmingly surreal platforming adventure is one of the more enjoyable games you’ve probably never heard of.
The Initiate 2: The First Interviews review
There's more people and admittedly less space than the original, but just as many engaging challenges to be solved in this story-thin, puzzle-centric sequel.
Detective Pikachu review
This 3DS exclusive catches lightning in a bottle with a charming mix of Pokémon and lighthearted mystery adventure.
Mage’s Initiation: Reign of the Elements review
Himalaya's long-awaited genre hybrid may water down its RPG elements, but in most respects it's a tower of strength as an adventure.
Torn review
While not particularly deep, this VR-exclusive, physics-based scavenger hunt is a rip-roaring good time while it lasts.
The Council review
An ambitious attempt to assemble a compelling historical mystery with narrative RPG elements ultimately loses its way after an initially promising start.
