The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 (2015)
An epic tale that reunites some much-loved characters and recreates the magic of good, old-fashioned point-and-click adventuring in a hyper-attractive world, the Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is a must-play for fans of the genre.
The Talos Principle (2014)
Bursting at the seams with challenging puzzles and thought-provoking science fiction, The Talos Principle is a philosophically-minded first-person puzzler that’s well worth your time.
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments (2014)
Sherlock has never looked better, and Crimes & Punishments is an enjoyable anthology that should bring in new fans, but there’s little challenge for a seasoned adventurer.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies (2013)
One of the best of the games in the series, Dual Destinies takes a while to build back up from its explosive beginning, but it’s more of the same fun characters, stories, and gameplay fans have come to expect.
Goodbye Deponia (2013)
The Deponia trilogy turns out to be very good at goodbyes. If you enjoy LucasArts-style comedic games, this series – and especially the final game – will provide hours of tongue-in-cheek unconventionality.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (2013)
More of a side story than a full sequel, A Machine for Pigs is memorably dark, disturbing, and bizarre.
The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief - Chapter One: The Eye of the Sphinx (2013)
The first episode of The Raven offers up a captivating story, intriguing characters and brilliant audio production to get the three-part series on track right away.
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.
Primordia (2012)
Falling just a little short of instant classic status, Primordia is still a gorgeous, clever, and melancholy science-fiction parable.
To the Moon (2011)
To the Moon is a special, emotionally charged story game that will be enjoyed by players who don’t mind a “lite” gameplay experience.
Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 5 – Rise of the Pirate God (2009)
Even with some minor complaints, ultimately the grand epic nature and the strength of its ending make Rise of the Pirate God, and the entire Tales of Monkey Island series, a great success.
Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis (2009)
Secret Files 2 is a highly-polished, enjoyable sequel that’s better than its Tunguskan predecessor in several key ways.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All (2007)
While not as good as the original, Phoenix Wright and his comrades still manage to entertain and deliver with a fantastic script and engaging courtroom drama. Here's hoping that Capcom will see fit to translate the third game in the series.
Hermitage: Strange Case Files (2021)
Despite some shaky puzzle mechanics, Hermitage: Strange Case Files is a compelling Lovecraftian visual novel horror anthology that’s well worth your time if you have even a passing interest in creepy creatures or cosmic terrors.
Letters – a written adventure (2022)
Letters – a written adventure is a delightful word manipulation game, chronicling one young woman’s life and how language can change it. While it isn’t always as engrossing as it could be, it has charm in spades and should—at least the first time around—engage those interested in story-driven experiences.
Warp Frontier (2021)
It may be a little dense and awkward on occasion, but Warp Frontier boldly flies into some deep, dark places, mostly managing to balance challenging puzzles with personal choices and big ideas.
AI: The Somnium Files (2019)
Though its gameplay strains a bit under the weight of some cumbersome design decisions, Spike Chunsoft’s AI: The Somnium Files nonetheless succeeds in crafting a worthy spiritual successor to the Nonary Games, putting its own compelling spin on the visual novel-styled mystery thriller.
The Office Quest (2017)
A few mechanical issues prevent it from being as user-friendly as it could be, but The Office Quest has a unique fantasy setting, interesting puzzles, funny characters and a beautiful art style that combine to guarantee a pretty enjoyable time.
Happy Game (2021)
Happy Game sends players on a shrieking, blood-soaked odyssey through the candy-colored hell within a young boy’s subconscious. Though it’s weakened somewhat by a less-cohesive third act, overall it’s a vivid interactive nightmare with a striking aesthetic and powerful narrative conceit.
Last Stop (2021)
There isn’t much in the way of actual gameplay or player agency, but anyone who enjoys a highly interactive story will certainly want to add Last Stop to their gaming library.
Onirike (2021)
It won’t deliver enough puzzle challenge or story depth to fully satisfy adventure game purists, but for fans of 3D platformers, the beautifully surreal Onirike serves up a pleasant helping of running, jumping, and exploring through dreamlike, Burton-esque worlds.
