Lamplight City review
The rich steampunk world is a definite highlight of Grundislav's new retro-styled mystery, but there's surprisingly little to do throughout its five distinct investigations.
Lake Ridden review
Blending horror, humour and puzzles, this beautiful first-person adventure has something of an identity crisis with a compelling mystery lurking just below the surface.
Sally Face: Episode One – Strange Neighbors review
The haunting five-part tale settles in with a promising but lightweight series debut about a troubled boy in a mask named Sal.
Arkhangel: The House of the Seven Stars review
The 19th century Lovecraftian mystery is suitably atmospheric, but falls short due to its poor controls and pacing issues.
tiny & Tall: Gleipnir – Part 1 review
This charming and often funny point-and-click adventure inspired by an obscure Norse myth is but the first link an episodic chain.
Destination Primus Vita: Episode 1 – Austin review
Don't sleep on this slick-looking, promising new character-driven sci-fi series that's just now getting underway.
Red Comrades 3: Return of Alaska – Reloaded review
The comic Russian adventure trilogy is complete, but the finale takes a long, meandering, often frustrating route to reach the end.
The Walking Dead: The Final Season – Episode One: Done Running review
Not simply a revival of the same old thing, Telltale's four-part series gets off on the right foot with signs that it's starting to grow up a little.
State of Mind review
We're left feeling ambivalent about the transhumanist sci-fi adventure that hinders fascinating themes with an unfocused story, and a unique presentation with underwhelming gameplay.
The Birdwatcher review
The 13th Carol Reed adventure provides another scenic Swedish tour, but a compelling investigative mystery is largely missing along the way.
Dead Secret Circle review
Our two-in-one review finds the murder mystery sequel a better rounded experience than its less ambitious but promising predecessor.
Unavowed review
We swear, this superb dark urban fantasy possesses so many fine qualities that it may be Wadjet Eye's best adventure yet.
The Initiate review
A promising new puzzle series gets started by substantially expanding the Escape Room formula to an entire suburban home.
Shrug Island: The Meeting review
There's no feeling indifferent about the beautiful watercolor art and music coming together in this short but relaxing, meditative experience.
Code 7: Episode 1 – Threading review
This unique cyberpunk thriller finds the right combination of hacking sim and text adventuring with visual and audio enhancements.
