The Journeyman Project: Pegasus Prime (1997)
Essentially The Journeyman Project with a fresh coat of paint, Pegasus Prime is an interesting bit of nostalgia but an otherwise underwhelming game. Recommended primarily for serious TJP fans.
CastleAbra (2014)
CastleAbra is a whimsical romp through old-fashioned fantasy environments that will amuse gamers who can embrace its retro sensibility, zany scenarios, and tough inventory puzzles.
Tales from the Dragon Mountain 2: The Lair (2014)
Tales from the Dragon Mountain 2 improves on the puzzles of the first game, but the other limitations remain and its ending proves unsatisfying.
The Wolf Among Us: Episode Two - Smoke & Mirrors (2014)
The adrenaline-laced interactive sequences of Smoke & Mirrors are fun to play, but in between the gameplay is far too sparse and linear, and its story loses some story momentum in the process.
Violett (2013)
Most necessary elements of a winning formula are in place, but Violett desperately needs a story to bind the disparate parts together into a classic experience.
Gomo (2013)
It’s short and easy without much variation, but there’s just enough charm and humour in Gomo to make it a worthwhile experience for fans of Machinarium clones.
The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief - Chapter Two: Ancestry of Lies (2013)
The story of The Raven continues to entertain, but the second chapter fails to reach the heights of the first, with a much shorter run time and a detour from what made the opening chapter so good.
The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief (2013)
A Murder of Ravens ends the story on a cheap note and doesn’t quite live up to the promise laid out in the opening, but it’s certainly more fun than the preceding chapter.
Nicolas Eymerich The Inquisitor: Book I - The Plague (2013)
A combination of the eponymous Inquisitor’s acerbic charisma, a compelling story and ambitious production quality overcome a plague of minor gameplay issues to keep you interested in the first episode of this four-part series.
Tipping Point (2013)
Tipping Point is an odd game with a handful of frustrations, but there are enough positive aspects to justify its almost negligible price of iPad admission.
Twilight Phenomena: The Lodgers of House 13 (2012)
Twilight Phenomena provides a reliably fun casual adventure with gorgeous visuals and a lot of exploration; just don’t sign up for a compelling story or innovative puzzles.
The Odyssey HD (2012)
Despite its drawbacks in puzzle clarity and localisation, The Odyssey HD stays on course with its story, quests, characters and art, offering about five hours of entertaining, old-school adventuring.
Gothic Fiction: Dark Saga (2012)
There are numerous beautiful scenes to look at and explore, but Gothic Fiction is overrun by easy puzzles and visual stimuli that never let the game really take root.
Nancy Drew: Tomb of the Lost Queen (2012)
Mystery fans will enjoy unraveling Tomb of the Lost Queen‘s puzzle-filled expedition in the desert, though the lack of dynamism and interaction cause the atmosphere to noticeably atrophy.
Jurassic Park: The Game (2011)
Some genuinely clever ideas and intense moments in Jurassic Park are held back by an engine that is rapidly approaching fossilization.
Nancy Drew: The Captive Curse (2011)
While fans of the Brothers Grimm may at first be intrigued by the premise of this fairy tale Nancy Drew, The Captive Curse is too limited to do the folklore books any real justice.
DARKSTAR: The Interactive Movie (2010)
The highly ambitious DARKSTAR delivers a great sci-fi story that’s unfortunately hampered by serious interface flaws, questionable design decisions, and occasional bad acting.
Doctor Who: The Adventure Games - Episode Four: Shadows of the Vashta Nerada (2010)
It’s one of the better episodes of the series thanks to its unsettling atmosphere and different gameplay styles, but Shadows of the Vashta Nerada drags at times and misses the mark entirely with its plot conclusion.
Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water’s Edge (2010)
While not the best of the series, Shadow at the Water’s Edge is still a solid Nancy Drew entry that takes decent advantage of its exotic location.
Doctor Who: The Adventure Games - Episode Two: Blood of the Cybermen (2010)
Some of the fun is drained by lacklustre puzzles and dull exploration at times, but Blood of the Cybermen is an improvement over the first episode thanks to a surprise-filled plot and greater gameplay variation.
Nancy Drew: Trail of the Twister (2010)
Instead of chasing tornados in Trail of the Twister, Nancy spends most of her time running errands, but they do present a nice variety of challenges. Too bad most of the mystery got sucked away in the process.
