Gone Home (2013)
Gone Home does only one thing but does it superbly, telling a touching story solely through exploration that makes it well worth experiencing.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (2013)
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is an exquisitely told story set in a world overflowing with personality. It’s an immersive, emotional gem that’s not to be missed.
Kentucky Route Zero: Act I (2013)
As much a poem as it is a game, Kentucky Route Zero: Act I is the bizarre, lovely first leg of a road trip into the sad, strange heart of America.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent (2010)
Not for the faint of heart, this gothic horror adventure is a relentlessly intense and terrifying experience from start to finish.
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge - Special Edition (2010)
Though purists shouldn’t throw away their old floppy disks, there is something for everyone to love in the Monkey Island 2: Special Edition, as the upgraded version is a wonderful way to experience one of the all-time adventure classics.
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge (1991)
Though purists shouldn’t throw away their old floppy disks, there is something for everyone to love in the Monkey Island 2: Special Edition, as the upgraded version is a wonderful way to experience one of the all-time adventure classics.
Sam & Max: Episode 201 - Ice Station Santa (2007)
Just slightly below Reality 2.0 on the list of great episodes; it’s laugh-out-loud funny, with very intelligent puzzle design and a totally demented self-contained story which interjects demonic possession into a sacred holiday. An absolute must-play.
Sam & Max: Season Two (2008)
This game, and this season as a whole, is completely, certifiably nutso. And therein lies the magic and the charm of the experience. It's a wonderful experience when it's not straining under the weight of its own ambition.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations (2007)
A climactic end to the Phoenix Wright story, Trials and Tribulations is the high point of the series, wrapping together great storylines, dialogue and characters into one portable package. Buy it now before I make use of Franziska's whip.
Sam & Max: Episode 5 - Reality 2.0 (2007)
Extremely close to a five-star game--it's remarkable that Telltale can still, at this point in the series, reinvent the entire concept and create such an original and delightful adventure experience. The best episode yet; I would say that there's no way they'll do it again next month...but I already said that last month.
Sam & Max: Season One (2007)
The long-awaited and largely enjoyable series revival of Sam & Max gets a solid port on Nintendo Wii, though not without a few minor issues.
Sam & Max: Episode 4 - Abe Lincoln Must Die! (2007)
Here is the Sam & Max episode you've been waiting for. Absolute, complete fun, and an effort that Telltale should be very proud of. Which makes it even more interesting to see if they'll be able to pull this off again in one month.
Sam & Max: Season One (2007)
The long-awaited and largely enjoyable series revival of Sam & Max gets a solid port on Nintendo Wii, though not without a few minor issues.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (2005)
Phoenix Wright takes the best of classic adventures, wraps it up in an engaging package and delivers one great game. With its charming gameplay, excellent use of the Nintendo DS features, truly funny dialogue, intricate plot, and personable cast of characters, this "soon to be a classic" title offers plenty of gaming enjoyment.
Syberia II (2004)
If you loved the first one or thought that it would be excellent if only the puzzles were more challenging, this is a game you will not want to be without.
Unusual Findings (2022)
Unusual Findings is a clever tribute to ‘80s pop culture; a fun, creative story brought to life by well-executed graphics, interface, and voice acting.
Time Loader (2021)
Side-scrolling through a suburban household as a tiny robot in Time Loader provides an immensely satisfying environmental puzzle-platforming experience that more than makes up for the weak endings.
Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One (2021)
While Chapter One can be a little too cumbersome and lacking in logic at times, young Sherlock’s investigation into the many mysteries on Cordona Island provides more than ample breadth and depth for any armchair detective.
Life Is Strange: True Colors (2021)
Life Is Strange: True Colors paints a pretty picture, creating a story you’ll really want to invest in, with only a slow plot point or two distracting from what is otherwise a great work of art.
Lake (2021)
Lake is, like the waves that break on its rural American Northwest shore, soothing and peacefully regular in its routine, making it ideal for those seeking a break from a hectic life.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes (2021)
House of Ashes proves that even an annual anthology release that’s so iterative in its gameplay mechanics can still evolve in significant ways. The changes evident here, and perhaps the developer’s maturation in storytelling, result in what may be the series’ strongest entry yet.
Murder Mystery Machine (2019)
Murder Mystery Machine provides a compellingly intricate web of crime and treachery to investigate for those not afraid to miss a few of its less obvious strands.
Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The First Cases (2021)
By emphasizing the connections between suspects, Hercule Poirot: The First Cases’ focus on deduction board gameplay nicely suits Agatha Christie’s famed Belgian detective and challenges your own little grey cells.
