Hypnosis HD (2013)
Hypnosis HD offers quite a few hours of mild entertainment, but its shallow story and awkward mixture of classic adventure and casual gaming mechanics make this lite adventure a disappointment.
The Cross Formula (2012)
The Cross Formula won’t convert you if you shy away from casual adventures, but you could do worse if you like lite puzzle-focused games.
Law & Order: Legacies (2011)
Though it can be simple fun in short bursts, Legacies offers a highly scaled-back version of the familiar cops-and-lawyers formula that doesn’t do the intriguing storylines full justice.
Girl with a Heart of (2011)
Whilst having a distinctive look and well-crafted backstory, the lack of gameplay depth leaves Girl with a Heart of feeling as unfinished as its title.
Trauma (2011)
This experimental adventure has some interesting ideas and deserves credit for trying something different, but Trauma ends up feeling far too shallow and short.
Tales from the Dragon Mountain: The Strix (2011)
The lack of story and overly simplified gameplay make this trip up Dragon Mountain a long way to go for very little reward.
City of Secrets (2011)
City of Secrets is a memorable adventure game for a few too many wrong reasons, but based on your taste in humor and tolerance for confusing puzzles, it may be worth playing for its weirdness quotient alone.
Back to the Future: Episode 4 - Double Visions (2011)
The fourth episode feels like a trip back in time with a bland storyline that treads familiar territory and fails to overcome the uninspiring gameplay.
Doctor Who: The Adventure Games - Episode One: City of the Daleks (2010)
Fans of the show are likely to get some kicks controlling the Doctor and Amy, but the gameplay is far too simple and repetitive to hold up as an enjoyable interactive experience.
Dream Chronicles: The Chosen Child (2009)
It’s not the worst game of the series in its own right, but Dream Chronicles 3 is all the more disappointing for still failing to resolve the easily-avoidable problems plaguing the series three games running.
Dream Chronicles (2007)
As an early attempt to bridge the casual and “hardcore” audiences, Dream Chronicles is a welcome pioneer, but makes many of the same mistakes adventures often do, which could turn off as many as it attracts.
Phantasmagoria (1995)
Phantasmagoria is deeply flawed, both in story and gameplay, but it was a bold experiment that spawned numerous followers, and even today manages to be frightening interactive movie in its own right.
Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People: Episode 4 - Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective (2008)
The most fan-centric entry of the series so far, this ultra-easy episode feels more like a lesser product of the buddy cop genre than a parody of it, and the episode is less funny as a consequence.
Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh (1996)
If you can overcome the substantial lack of actual gameplay and you’re a fan of raunchy horror movies, this game will be a lot a fun. If not, this isn’t the game for you.
Santa Fe Mysteries: The Elk Moon Murder (1998)
An average detective adventure that adopts a realistic approach to solving a homicide case, but which is let down by design faults.
Secrets of the Luxor (1996)
Recommended for its spectacular Egypt section and tough, chewy puzzles throughout.
The Wild Case (2021)
The Wild Case seems to have begun life as yet another hidden object adventure before mutating into a beautiful but thoroughly domesticated point-and-click adventure that underwhelms in all respects but one.
Mark & Lara: Partners In Justice (2021)
A co-op crime solver may sound like a dream come true for mystery fans, but although Mark & Lara: Partners in Justice ticks the right boxes, it’s far too simplistic to fulfill its potential as an enjoyable two-player investigative game.
Into A Dream (2020)
A potentially interesting exploration of depression let down by poor storytelling and dearth of gameplay, Into A Dream is more likely to put you to sleep than rivet you.
Forgiveness (2019)
Forgiveness features a few memorable puzzles and its presentation is top-notch, but inconsistent design choices and the promise of a story that never materializes render it frustratingly unfulfilling.
