Adventure game reviews
Mutazione review
Though largely barren of gameplay, the seeds of this 'mutant soap opera' blossom into a heart-warming character-driven tale of family and forgiveness.
Phantom Path review
This modest but lively isometric forest adventure provides sure footing through a variety of well-designed environmental puzzles.
Nubla review
The esteemed artwork of Madrid's Thyssen-Bornemisza belongs in a museum, not in a short, easy and non-educational puzzle-platformer like this.
Someday You’ll Return review
The creators of J.U.L.I.A. Among the Stars are back with a well-crafted, substantial first-person psychological thriller.
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.
Shapik: The Moon Quest review
This charming Amanita-style sci-fi puzzler is light on story but gets full marks for presentation and entertaining gameplay.
Boïnihi: The K’i Codex review
The latest installment in Simon Mesnard's Black Cube series may change perspectives but still translates into a quality puzzle-centric sci-fi adventure.
Old Gods Rising review
The challenge level is low, but this rich exploration adventure reaches impressive heights with its gorgeous environments and clever blend of the real and surreal.
Pendula Swing – The Complete Journey review
The complete seven-part series is light on gameplay but provides a timely and uplifting exploration of social issues in a faux-1920s fantasy context.
The Grimsworth Reports: Woodfall review
This investigative side-scroller is tripped up somewhat by a lack of polish, but is otherwise a solid mystery adventure with plenty of replay value.
Beyond Blue review
There’s no real gameplay to speak of, but this beautiful marine adventure should make for a whale of a few hours of exploring for ocean lovers.
Dark Nights with Poe & Munro review
Character chemistry and Lynchian weirdness shine brightest in this choice-driven FMV adventure, though it's dimmed somewhat by pacing issues and melodrama.
Over the Alps review
The clever presentation and superb writing are the high points of this charming little visual novel spy thriller.
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.
