The Turing Test  (2016)

The Turing Test gets a high passing grade for its many engaging puzzles, but marks deducted for a storyline that never fully connects.

Largely more of the same as what’s come before, A New Frontier revives the familiar Telltale formula, only with less appealing characters this time around.

The Beard in the Mirror  (2016)

Beyond its strong story it doesn’t excel at any particular elements, but The Beard in the Mirror is a pleasant little retro adventure, which a fan of such things will certainly enjoy playing.

Mr. Shadow  (2016)

Mr. Shadow is a joy to behold with a high degree of challenge, though it stumbles more than once due to some obtuse puzzles and the decision to focus on style over substance.

Haven Moon  (2016)

Myst lovers will fall hook, line, and sinker for this island realm, but only the most brilliant or persistent gamers will make it through Haven Moon unassisted.

Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter  (2016)

While the uneven Devil’s Daughter doesn’t reach the heights of previous games in the series, there is enough here to warrant a playthrough and fans can safely add this to their expanding collection of the super sleuth’s adventures.

Maize  (2016)

Maize cobbles together a solid adventure from its surreal premise, passive storytelling and labyrinthine environments, but those who enjoy offbeat humour will reap most of the rewards.

Candle  (2016)

Orwell  (2016)

Her Majesty’s SPIFFING  (2016)

Packed with puns but short on plot or perplexing puzzles, Her Majesty’s SPIFFING‘s intense Britishness will either amuse or confuse, but either way it’s more of a teatime crumpet than a regal banquet.

Event[0]  (2016)

Event[0] is an atmospheric, tense sci-fi yarn that ends too quickly and never lives up to the potential of its innovative core mechanic.

N.E.R.O. (Nothing Ever Remains Obscure)  (2015)

An uneven game of kaleidoscopic highs and somber lows, N.E.R.O. rewards patient exploration, connect-the-dots plot analysis, and an appreciation for nature’s surreal beauty.

1979 Revolution: Black Friday  (2016)

1979 Revolution is one of those rare games that has aims and aspirations beyond simply “being fun”. Despite its legitimate historical importance, its brevity and limited gameplay make it feel more like part of a historical anthology rather than a complete experience on its own.

The Minims: A New Beginning  (2013)

Although let down by poor storytelling, The Minims is easy to get into and serves as a fairly fun distraction for a few hours.

Distraint  (2015)

A modest but oddly compelling adventure steeped in perpetual darkness, the surreal side-scrolling Distraint is a low-cost exploration of the high price of selling one’s soul.

The Interactive Adventures of Dog Mendonça & Pizza Boy  (2016)

Perhaps better suited as a jumping-off point for newcomers than existing fans, Dog Mendonça and Pizza Boy is a perfectly serviceable game in its own right but falls just short of the mark set by the graphic novels.

The A.B.C. Murders  (2016)

The A.B.C. Murders will hardly tax the little grey cells, but a pleasing visual style and charismatic lead protagonist make this Agatha Christie adaptation more than merely child’s play. Just keep the sound volume low.

Adventurezator: When Pigs Fly  (2015)

Adventurezator‘s heart is in the right place, but for all its charm and potential, neither the game itself nor its built-in user creation system is quite there yet.

The Rivers of Alice  (2013)

A journey down The Rivers of Alice brings winsome sights, innovative music, and intricate puzzles, but the philosophical waters are deceptively shallow without much story cohesiveness or character development.

The Last Crown: Midnight Horror  (2015)

With its lighter tone and smaller scale, The Last Crown: Midnight Horror is a nice little snack for fans of the first game before the next main course.
