Dead Reset review

77
Dead Reset review

Dead Reset is predictably light on gameplay, but the tried-and-true, choice-based interactive movie formula proves to be a fitting match for this sci-fi scarefest... Read more

Fragile review

Fragile review

Fragile is a technical mess with a few decent ideas and one heck of a message behind it, but its execution is so frustrating you’re better served just reading up on the social issues it raises... Read more

System of Souls review

System of Souls review

Level design that demands speed and precision does not combine well with controls that are slow and clunky in the dull, too-much-of-a-Portal-clone that is System of Souls... Read more

Whispers in the West review

Whispers in the West review

The promise of up to four-player co-op can’t elevate Whispers in the West above its tedious gameplay, non-logical investigations, and squandered special character abilities, but there’s enough potential on display to hope that the planned DLC cases will rectify these issues. ... Read more

Mind Diver review

Mind Diver review

As a deduction-based sci-fi mystery Mind Diver is only moderately compelling, but the true reward is the brilliantly acted fragmented love story, which ranks right up with the best of the genre... Read more

The Occultist review

The Occultist review

The Occultist’s many fetch quests provide a fairly fun way to get the blood pumping and the heart beating through an anxiety-inducing ghost story, though the survival elements might be overwhelming for those who don’t like to be scared to death. ... Read more

Thimbleweed Park review

85
Thimbleweed Park review

Far more than just a retro throwback to the early SCUMM days, Thimbleweed Park is a great murder mystery with so many interesting story threads and oddball characters that you will gladly accept a little excessive backtracking to reach the very end for answers... Read more

Of Bird and Cage review

23
Of Bird and Cage review

As a playable rock/metal album, Of Bird and Cage promises Meat Loaf of the finest musical and dramatic quality but dishes up an unappetizing serving of melodious but messy gruel instead... Read more

Mixtape review

87
Mixtape review

Mixtape is less a game and more an interactive art piece – and that’s okay! You’re a passenger along for a nostalgic teenage reminiscence in motion, and with its captivating presentation of raw emotional moments it’s a musical odyssey well worth taking... Read more

The Caribou Trail review

The Caribou Trail review

The Caribou Trail is a short but powerful tale of brotherhood in the trenches of World War I that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who plays it... Read more

Detective Dotson review

65
Detective Dotson review

Chaotic, colourful, and endearingly daft, Detective Dotson is a brief but gloriously over-the-top cultural experience, but its gameplay rarely lives up to its Bollywood ambitions... Read more

Uncle Lee’s Cookbook: Five Recipes for Disaster review

Uncle Lee’s Cookbook: Five Recipes for Disaster review

Uncle Lee’s Cookbook is a collection of comedy adventures divided up into bite-sized chunks, with plenty of reality-breaking hilarity sure to tickle the fancy of anyone who loves a bit of insanity in their games... Read more

Cult Vacui review

Cult Vacui review

There’s plenty of tension and fear in preparing for your own survival before time runs out, but the very short Cult Vacui will pose little challenge to experienced adventurers... Read more

Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth review

88
Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth review

The season may be colder, but Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth is even more heartwarming than Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, combining strong writing with rewarding winter-themed mechanics to create another charming family favorite... Read more

Road to Empress I review

88
Road to Empress I review

If you love live-action melodrama, the seventh-century Imperial Chinese court intrigue of Road to Empress I is the game for you. Embrace the chaos of 110 endings and marvel at the production value, but don’t get too comfortable – the plot moves as fast as the poison... Read more
