Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 2 – The Siege of Spinner Cay (2009)
The Siege of Spinner Cay is very good, but doesn't quite make the series great. I continue to enjoy every minute with the TMI episodes, but know that there is stronger comic momentum that can be attained.
Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 1 – Launch of the Screaming Narwhal (2009)
Can you really complain about the return of Guybrush? Well, yes, but this is still a fun and beautiful pirate adventure that should make any fan excited for what Telltale has in store for the rest of this series.
Secret Files: Tunguska (2006)
Secret Files: Tunguska is a highly-polished game, but suffers from an uninspired design. While it remains mostly pleasant to play, it is not as satisfying an experience as it ought to have been.
She Sees Red (2019)
She Sees Red is a highly atmospheric, well-acted (but poorly dubbed) interactive movie that will keep you engaged for about the same length as a film before faltering a bit under its limited choice format.
Distraint 2 (2018)
Rudimentary puzzles somewhat undermine Distraint 2’s otherwise compelling, evocatively presented tale of one man’s fraught, nightmarish journey towards redemption.
The Long Gate (2020)
The Long Gate offers a unique and beautiful way to learn electronics, and it’s still evolving, but in its current state it’s likely to be a confusing slog for many.
Hitchhiker – A Mystery Game (2021)
A wild ride full of bizarre anecdotes, cryptic characters and gorgeous drives, Hitchhiker – A Mystery Game offers up more than the average road trip, though the dense dialogue and the finale’s sudden ending prevent it from reaching top gear.
Lost Words: Beyond the Page (2020)
The lovely Lost Words has some interesting ideas and presents a well-written, authentic tale of a young girl’s grief, but uninspired platforming drags the experience down.

Transient (2020)
Transient deserves recognition for seamlessly concocting a stunning blend of sci-fi and Lovecraftian horror, but it deserves more space to fully come to fruition than what it’s afforded here.
Nordlicht (2019)

Nordlicht is a heart-warming tale of young girl and her father as they embark upon their annual sea voyage to the icy polar north, buoyed past its somewhat shallow gameplay by its lovely, hand-crafted art and soulful narrative.
Metamorphosis (2020)
Its polished presentation and unusual premise make for a promising start to Metamorphosis, but the shallow gameplay and increasingly abstract direction prove to be something of a buzzkill.
The Pillar (2019)
The idea behind The Pillar works when done well, as we’ve seen before, but a bit more substance is needed to make both the beautiful world and its gameplay click better here. As it stands, it must settle for being a decent, if imperfect, puzzler.
The Academy: The First Riddle (2020)
The Academy can be frustratingly clunky and limited at times, but at its best it’s energetic, likable and packed with puzzling goodness.
Eclipse: Edge of Light (2017)
Eclipse: Edge of Light makes the most out of its humble mobile beginnings, making exploration visually and aurally entertaining. Deeper gameplay and a bigger focus on narrative would have pushed the game to the next level, but being able to ride a jetpack for a few hours is a winning mechanic right from the start.
Murder by Numbers (2020)
Murder by Numbers combines the unlikely trio of maths, melodrama and murder in a stylishly animated equation that is somewhat unbalanced by its repetitive Picross puzzles.
Creepy Tale (2020)
The side-scrolling Creepy Tale offers a captivating journey through the dark woods of imagination, but a short playtime and an overly-derivative visual style make it hard to enjoy fully.
Planet RIX-13 (2017)
Planet RIX-13 doesn’t offer much from either a puzzle or narrative perspective, but it does provide a constant sense of progress while exploring an interesting alien setting. It’s the kind of casual game that could perhaps best be described as a guilty pleasure, though with its short runtime, there’s actually very little to even feel guilty about.
Edgar: Bokbok in Boulzac (2019)
With an eclectic cast of characters, the simple but charmingly cartoon-styled Edgar: Bokbok in Boulzac keeps players guessing what they’ll encounter next in this bizarre quest to save a squash farm.
The Suicide of Rachel Foster (2020)
On paper, The Suicide of Rachel Foster promises a spooky ghost tale grounded in the drama of a family driven apart. While some of that potential is eventually made good on, the road there is a bit too bland and unengaging to make the whole experience shine as brightly as it should.
Alternate Jake Hunter: DAEDALUS – The Awakening of Golden Jazz (2019)
Alternate Jake Hunter: DAEDALUS – The Awakening of Golden Jazz is a visual novel-adventure aimed at gamers who delight in plot twists and dialogs and are willing to overlook repetition and graphical discrepancies.
