Five Top Upcoming Adventure Games – January 2026
- 1 Comment
Happy new year! With 2025 officially behind us, so ends an incredible year (and indeed, an entire quarter century) of great games... and ushers in a brand new one to look forward to! As usual, January eases us in gently with a relatively light load of new releases. But already we can't wait for the highly anticipated sequel to Meredith Gran's acclaimed coming-of-age masterpiece Perfect Tides, and the chance to don our climbing gear for some death-defying mountain challenges.
We'll also do some deductive sleuthing in Hollywood, chew our fingernails through the next sequel in an ongoing horror anthology series, and get locked – both literally and figuratively – into a surreal mystery from the scenario writer of Another Code: Two Memories and Hotel Dusk: Room 215. Plus, of course, the annual new Carol Reed mystery, and a cryptic new game from inkle (first video evidence yet to be unearthed). And even that's not all, so maybe January's not looking so slow after all.
Featured this month:
Confidential Killings
BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW
Perfect Tides: Station to Station
Dark Auction

It's rare that I'm not looking forward to at least one game each month, but all of these look incredibly unappealing.
