Old Skies review

Old Skies review

Old Skies takes the well-worn concept of time travel and shoots it back through history to make it fresh again. It’s a beautiful, wonderfully written and acted tale both epic and personal, with enough time-bending conundrums to keep even the most jaded adventure gamer guessing.  ... Read more

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage review

Don’t Nod spins a thoughtful yarn about friendship and trauma, but Lost Records can’t find the right tonal balance to guarantee a hit... Read more

The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication review

The Extrication is still far from a masterclass in horror, but this better sophomore effort in the Bridge Curse franchise has shown it’s learned a few lessons along the way... Read more

The Haunting of Joni Evers review

Snooping through a family home in The Haunting of Joni Evers is a fairly routine gameplay experience, but it’s appropriately scary and surprisingly poignant as you wade through all the conflicting emotions of its eponymous lead character... Read more

Urban Myth Dissolution Center review

Urban Myth Dissolution Center’s bold art and an even bolder concept isn’t quite enough to spice up this slow-burning mystery visual novel with limited detective elements. ... Read more

Asylum review

Asylum review

It’s nice to finally have ASYLUM in our hands after so long, but while it has the makings of an interesting story at its center, the vast size and emptiness of its namesake hospital overwhelm everything else about it, and it never gets a handle on how to balance narrative and gameplay or to deliver the horror it promises...

KARMA: The Dark World review

KARMA: The Dark World review

A bewildering story is content to leave players floundering in the dark, but KARMA’s commitment to nonstop weirdness provides some gloriously unhinged nightmare fuel.  ... Read more

Elroy and the Aliens review

Elroy and the Aliens review

Don’t let its delightfully cartoonish appearance fool you: Elroy and the Aliens is a wonderfully heartfelt point-and-click journey across time and space, about family connections and the lengths we’ll go to reunite with our loved ones. ... Read more

Rosewater review

Rosewater review

Its obstacles may not put up much of a fight, but Rosewater’s sharpshooting lies with its wonderful production value and freedom of choice in this character-driven Western, earning itself a big “Yeehaw!” for fun and replayability... Read more

Dreamcore review

Dreamcore review

With only two of five planned Backrooms-inspired liminal spaces to explore, Dreamcore tries so hard to avoid stimulating the player that playing it feels less like an experience and more like a chore to navigate its endlessly maze-like environments. ... Read more

Tales from Candleforth review

Tales from Candleforth review

The beautifully atmospheric Tales from Candleforth is a fairly solid occult puzzle mystery with plenty to enjoy while it lasts, though it’s missing some polish and depth as the final key ingredients... Read more

Cabernet review

Cabernet review

Cabernet is a captivating character-driven narrative RPG that sinks in its fangs and doesn’t let go. The best story veins are reserved for the individuals you meet rather than the world at large, but with characters as well-written as these, you’ll want to drink in every last drop... Read more

Pine: A Story of Loss review

Pine: A Story of Loss review

The strong visual aesthetic and tranquil atmosphere help elevate Pine: A Story of Loss, but the slow, repetitive pacing and simplistic gameplay limit the game’s appeal primarily to those who can draw from their own experiences to reflect more deeply on the emotional themes of moving on from heartbreak...

Expelled! – An Overboard! Game review

Expelled! – An Overboard! Game review

Expelled! excels at transferring its spiritual predecessor Overboard!’s charm, replayability and depth of choice to a boarding school setting, though its report card says it must try harder at putting its new morality mechanic into practice. ... Read more
