Amber’s Blood review
The eighth Carol Reed mystery has a modest presentation, but spins a bloody good yarn full of twists and turns.
J.U.L.I.A. review
There's nothing artificial about this genuinely intelligent sci-fi adventure, which cleverly blends a host of varied gameplay elements into one unique whole.
Miskatonic: Part 1 - The Inhuman Stain review
The three-part Lovecraftian mystery kicks off at Miskatonic University, but an inconsistent debut doesn't quite make the grade.
The Shine of a Star review
This Samorost-style lite adventure sometimes twinkles with surreal charm, but it falls short of shining in its perpetual darkness.
The Jolly Gang’s Spooky Adventure review
We've doubled up a pair of casual reviews, but even two offbeat, cartoon Jolly Gang adventures don't add up to a single good one.
The Jolly Gang’s Misadventures in Africa review
We've doubled up a pair of casual reviews, but even two offbeat, cartoon Jolly Gang adventures don't add up to a single good one.
Law & Order: Legacies review
The final verdict is in for the full seven episodes of this lite story-based legal series, which offers some breezy fun but is guilty of scaling back the gameplay a little too far.
Cardboard Castle review
It's easy to be drawn into this creative cardboard fantasy world, but its flimsy story and repetitive puzzles aren't all they're cut out to be.
Pahelika: Revelations review
There's nothing casual about this fantasy sequel's challenging puzzles, but its story is anything but a page-turner.
Metal Dead review
More brains than beauty, there's plenty of bloody good fun in this clever comic riff on the zombie apocalypse.
A Stroke of Fate: Operation Valkyrie review
The conspiracy plot to kill Hitler features plenty of authentic historical detail, but it misses the mark in more ways than one.
Red Crow Mysteries: Legion review
There are inventory items to collect in this shallow but richly atmospheric lite adventure hybrid, and they are legion.
James Noir’s Hollywood Crimes review
Even with an extra dimension, not much stands out in this Nintendo 3DS puzzler beyond its intriguing murder mystery interludes.
Girl with a Heart of review
Its unique fantasy story never skips a beat, but a lack of meaningful interaction breaks the potential immersion.
So Blonde: Back to the Island review
The Nintendo exclusive is an intriguing "what if?" pseudo-sequel, but recycling and simplified gameplay cloud an otherwise sunny experience.
