Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller - Episode 1: The Hangman (2012)
Though flawed, the first episode of Cognition leaves a great final impression and sets up a series that could become a major achievement for episodic adventure gaming.
Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes (2012)
Another entertaining game for those who can’t get enough of the wacky blue plush rabbit, Harvey’s New Eyes simplifies the Edna & Harvey experience but is slightly less fun to play as a result.
The Walking Dead: Episode Four - Around Every Corner (2012)
Whilst Around Every Corner relies a bit too much on action sequences and not enough of group-building with its new characters, it effectively manages to draw hope and desperation to new emotional highs and lows, ultimately ending with the most dramatic conclusion so far.
Papo & Yo (2012)
Despite a few rough edges, this surreal platforming adventure is a heartfelt, emotional experience that’s well worth your time.
BlindSide (2012)
BlindSide is an extremely original experience at a very affordable price that makes it easy to look (or feel) past the game’s few flaws.
Azada: In Libro (2011)
Though light in story, Azada: In Libro‘s beautiful worlds and wide variety of puzzles make for a satisfying chapter in the casual fantasy series.
1953: KGB Unleashed (2012)
Fans of Myst-like games should lap up this short but enjoyable adventure thanks to its challenging puzzle design and engaging backstory.
Dark Alleys: Penumbra Motel (2012)
The Penumbra Motel may not be four-star quality in terms of originality, but it’s full of engaging artwork, strange characters, and fun puzzles worth visiting to enjoy.
Deponia (2012)
With its 2D cartoon aesthetic, simple point-and-click interface, and challenging puzzles, Deponia is classic old-school adventuring in many ways, making it worth playing even when the storytelling falters.
The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav (2012)
Chains of Satinav boasts incredible artwork and atmosphere, though it’s populated by weak characters that spoil some of the appeal.
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP (2011)
Superbrothers is a unique audio-visual experience that turns an old cliché into a refreshing and intriguing adventure, though it sacrifices gameplay to achieve it.
Captain Morgane and the Golden Turtle (2012)
Captain Morgane and the Golden Turtle is a beautiful looking game with an adventurous story about growing up and dealing with grief, though a few odd design decisions spoil some of the fun.
Captain Morgane and the Golden Turtle (DS) (2012)
Captain Morgane and the Golden Turtle is a beautiful looking game with an adventurous story about growing up and dealing with grief, though a few odd design decisions spoil some of the fun.
MacGuffin’s Curse (2012)
It’s a solid puzzler that atones for a few rough edges with homegrown charm, but your mileage with MacGuffin’s Curse will ultimately depend on whether you enjoy block puzzles.
Amber’s Blood (2012)
For fans of traditional slideshow adventures who like a good old-fashioned yarn that will keep you guessing until the end, Amber’s Blood is an engrossing detective mystery.
The Dream Machine: Chapter 3 (2011)
The third chapter of The Dream Machine continues to impress with its heartfelt attention to detail and surreal storyline, showing great promise for the episodes ahead.
Doctor Who: The Adventure Games - Episode Five: The Gunpowder Plot (2011)
The Gunpowder Plot is an improvement over past episodes thanks to an intriguing plot and balanced adventuring, but its simplistic puzzles do snuff out some of the fun.
Discworld II: Missing Presumed…!? (1996)
An enjoyable and visually impressive second romp for Rincewind on the Discworld, but shallow plotting and drab puzzle design hold it back from reaching its full potential.
Nancy Drew: Alibi in Ashes (2011)
You won’t see Nancy’s home town through state-of-the art graphics, but Alibi in Ashes provides an entertaining window into the teen sleuth’s personal life.
The Blackwell Deception (2011)
Perhaps the best game in the series to date, Blackwell Deception is an enjoyable retro title and a well-rounded effort that’s easy to get into and hard to put down, though it’s limited somewhat by its own lack of ambition.
Hector: Badge of Carnage - Episode 3: Beyond Reasonable Doom (2011)
Though the novelty has worn off, Beyond Reasonable Doom is a fun end to a great series that’s perhaps a bit too easy to play but genuinely funny and well worth the time.
