Life Is Strange 2: Episode 1 – Roads review
The second full season hits the ground running with an immersive first episode featuring a whole new cast, story, and branching narrative possibilities.
Moon Castle review
This Myst-style adventure offers a serious challenge, though it'll leave even the most ardent puzzle fan howling at the many technical issues.
Here They Lie review
This PlayStation horror exclusive is rich in disturbing atmosphere, but honestly there's very little gameplay or comprehensible story resting deep within it.
Nelson and the Magic Cauldron review
Though it could use more seasoning, this traditional indie adventure brews up a pleasant little inventory-laden, point-and-click experience.
Jake Hunter Detective Story: Ghost of the Dusk review
The visual novel series from Japan is back with a new mystery anthology, but even the pretense of gameplay is found lacking this time around.
Lupus in Fabula review
This charmingly quirky side-scrolling puzzler blends Flemish Renaissance, time displacement, fantastical monsters and more for an enjoyable bite-sized adventure experience.
Beyond the Sky review
This delightful fairy tale adventure will win you over with its storybook-style charm and help overcome any fear of challenging logic puzzles.
The Red Strings Club review
It sets a low bar for interactivity, but this dialogue-heavy cyberpunk sim serves up an intriguing narrative experience.
Gray Dawn review
Holy smokes, this heavily religious-themed, first-person horror adventure is equal parts gorgeous and disturbing.
Deliver Us the Moon: Fortuna review
This slick-looking sci-fi adventure launches with promise, but stalls abruptly before it can stick the landing, with free DLC promised to finish the story later on.
Iris.Fall review
Blink and you might miss it, but this short environmental puzzler plays with light and shadow in charmingly engaging ways.
NAIRI: Tower of Shirin review
This beautiful and surprisingly deep fantasy tale is constructed of part visual novel, part point-and-click adventure, and part adorable charm.
CINERIS SOMNIA review
This haunting Japanese adventure's surreal story and atmosphere are undercut by some dated mechanics and sleep-inducing controls.
My Brother Rabbit review
Bucking the usual casual trend, this beautiful, puzzle-filled scavenger hunt is a short but charming little family-friendly adventure.
Lovecraft Quest – A Comix Game review
More style than substance, this short interactive graphic novel-styled horror is fun in short bursts before falling into the trap of repetitive gameplay.
