Twilight Oracle review

Twilight Oracle review

Twilight Oracle is a nostalgic ride through a zany fantasy world, though even its witty banter can’t hide the fact it’s a short story with a simple plot only good for a single afternoon’s fun... Read more

The Will of Arthur Flabbington review

The Will of Arthur Flabbington review

Other than the odd puzzle frustration, The Will of Arthur Flabbington offers plenty of nostalgia, laughs and a gauntlet of inventory-based brainteasers that is sure to stretch your creative thinking when glued to your screen and keep you thoughtfully pondering when away from it... Read more

Fall of Porcupine review

Fall of Porcupine review

Cute characters, great story, beautiful soundtrack, STAT! Fall of Porcupine may lack in the gameplay department, but it’s impossible to not fall in love with this charming character-driven tribute to our underappreciated health care workers... Read more

Dead Drop review

Dead Drop review

Delivering everything series fans should expect by this point, Dead Drop is another soothing romp with Carol Reed through Swedish countrysides and dilapidated buildings, elevated by a fun hook and some decades-old KGB intrigue that helps to make up for the more humdrum moments... Read more

Slay the Princess review

Slay the Princess review

While Slay the Princess comes in a deceptively simple package, it contains what feels like a whole universe of horror, humor and humanity; it takes the visual novel format and pushes it as far as it will go, with a story that changes and adapts to every decision you make without ever forsaking its central themes of identity, eternity, and the nature of life and death...

Hill Agency: PURITY/decay review

Hill Agency: PURITY/decay review

Hill Agency is a stylistically gorgeous game and a refreshing futuristic representation of Indigenous people, but otherwise this detective noir game is too hampered by bugs and a lack of real investigative work to make the experience worthwhile... Read more

Enypnion ReDreamed review

Enypnion ReDreamed review

Experienced adventurers can probably cruise through Enypnion ReDreamed in their sleep, though some of the logic puzzles might be responsible for a few nightmares. Overall, though, it’s a short but charming little journey through the subconscious that may just remind you of your own childhood nighttime fantasies... Read more

Superfluous Returnz review

70
Superfluous Returnz review

Superfluous Returnz isn’t superfluous at all, as its not-so-super hero's bumbling (and occasionally credibility-defying) antics offer an all-too-brief breath of fresh country air... Read more

The Night Is Grey review

The Night Is Grey review

With its beautiful scenery, heartfelt characters, and the weirdest wolves you’ve ever seen, The Night Is Grey is as close to a psychological thriller as an adventure game can get, worthy to be called an interactive cinematic experience... Read more

This Bed We Made review

This Bed We Made review

This Bed We Made sacrifices some snooping freedom and player challenge for a more linear narrative, but there are plenty of thrilling discoveries to unpack in this compelling Hitchcockian mystery... Read more

OU review

OU review

OU deserves enormous credit for its superb art and its distinct, ambitious style of storytelling, providing a memorable high-concept experience only slightly hampered by questionable design choices... Read more

Orten Was the Case review

Orten Was the Case review

Time loop mysteries require a delicate balance of challenge while rewarding players for both their successes and mistakes. In Orten Was the Case, the play control and action elements can upset that balance at times, but the twelve-minute puzzle itself hits all the right beats and proves to be quite satisfying...

Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island review

Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island review

Integrating these Tall Tales into the main Sea of Thieves game isn’t always smooth sailing, but The Legend of Monkey Island DLC provides a light but pleasingly nostalgia-filled outing for long-time fans of the beloved adventure series... Read more

Lake: Season's Greetings review

Lake: Season's Greetings review

The Season's Greetings DLC views Lake's world through very different eyes, offering reassuring familiarity while shaking things up just enough to make them fresh again. Retaining the same slow, puzzle-free style and relatable characters, it's not for everyone but will surely feel like the perfect gift for fans of the original game... Read more

Last Christmas review
