Moebius: Empire Rising (2014)
While mildly entertaining at times, Moebius is disappointingly light on the charm, intrigue, and ingenuity that marked Jane Jensen’s earlier work.
Detective Case and Clown Bot: Murder in the Hotel Lisbon (2013)
Detective Case and Clown Bot’s fun plot and interesting characters get obscured by uneven and potentially offensive jokes, one-trick gameplay, and poor audio quality.
Montague’s Mount: Episode One (2013)
The debut installment of Montague’s Mount is very pretty and atmospheric, but the lack of plot, puzzles or scares so far should have you waiting until the next episode before you decide whether to climb on.
Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller - Episode 4: The Cain Killer (2013)
Definitely the low point of the series, The Cain Killer is obviously still a must-play if you’re invested in the Cognition series thus far, though it reminds us that Phoenix Online has a lot of room to grow.
Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within (2013)
Jack Keane 2 is a fun action-packed journey at times, made far more frustrating than it needed to be due to its clumsy interface and obtuse, pace-killing puzzles.
Life in the Dorms (2012)
You certainly won’t be missing a classic if you skip it, but for Xbox fans starved for adventure, Life in the Dorms is an admirable comedic effort that works enough of the time to consider its student-friendly price tag.
The Starship Damrey (2013)
The Starship Damrey is a short but enjoyable space mystery that could have been so much better if it allowed you to puzzle through the enigma yourself.
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.
Reversion: Chapter 2 - The Meeting (2013)
The first commercial adventure in the Reversion series expands the storyline slightly but continues to feel insubstantial instead of ramping up either the action or the tension.
Richard & Alice (2013)
Haters of happy endings—or happiness in general—are in luck, because Richard & Alice is a game so bleak and dreary that it’s hard to find any other purpose for seeing it through to the bitter end.
Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Frozen City (2012)
Feeling more like Layton-lite than heavy-duty Holmes, Mystery of the Frozen City is for those who enjoy casual puzzling enough to overlook a nonsensical story.
Lucius (2012)
Sometimes infernally frustrating and plagued with inconsistent design, the deeply morbid Lucius nevertheless contains some diabolical fun for those with loads of patience and a strong stomach.
The Five Cores (2012)
Like the fake Rolex watch of Myst clones, The Five Cores looks good on the surface and functions well enough, but ultimately leaves you wanting the real thing.
Secret Files 3 (2012)
Secret Files 3 replaces romance with rocket science, but its convoluted premise, simplistic puzzles, and slapdash resolutions make it the weakest link of the trilogy.
May’s Mysteries: The Secret of Dragonville (2011)
May’s Mysteries is a substantial puzzler that is sure to satisfy fans of logical and mathematical brainteasers, but offers little of interest for those seeking more.
Hoodwink (2012)
Hoodwink establishes an interesting premise in a unique setting, but its ease and occasional frustrations spoil some of the fun in this (undisclosed) episodic debut.
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.
Adam’s Venture: Episode 3 - Revelations (2012)
Though filling in some welcome background details about its protagonists, the Adam’s Venture series stumbles to the finish line in the trilogy’s finale.
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.
