Reviews

A clever and interesting adventure, whose short duration and relatively low difficulty of its puzzles do not allow it to shine more brightly.

It may sound far-fetched, but Foolish Mortal leaves you with the taste of a great adventure, like the ones we used to play in the 90s and get excited about. Just like its "mentors" did.

Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer is what you'd expect from the sequel to a decent adventure: thoughtful, bigger with harder puzzles and an equally well-written story to back it up.

Elroy and the Aliens does not redefine the genre, but it's a very well-made, charming and complete adventure. It's a safe entertainment choice for the fans, while it would be a good suggestion for someone interested in getting involved with the enchanting world of point and click adventures for the first time.

An adventure with a quite interesting main idea, but without the ideal implementation, so that it stands out.

A remarkable adventure, which implements its clever original idea very well, with a strong Tim Burton aesthetic.

Huge in length, thoughtful and with a decent story, but with some issues in the writing and the characters that don't allow it to reach the peaks of the genre.

A sci-fi adventure that features a very subversive story, and several nice puzzles, thus composing a worthwhile adventure experience.

Impressive animation, extreme artistic surrealism, but hopelessly short in length, thus appealing to a very specific audience.

Children of Silentown left us with very good impressions. If its puzzle/mini game element had been tamed and there were more "typical" adventure puzzles or even like those of the last chapter, then it would have scored even higher. However, the darkly beautiful story it tells, its immersive atmosphere and the messages it wants to convey are more than enough to make it stay etched in your memory for a long time.

A strong love letter in the 80's, with alternate endings and plenty of puzzles, but with mediocre writing and some "moon logic".

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is an adventure of a rare "harvest", which, if it had been released in the golden age of adventures, would now be remembered as a top example of the genre. With its brilliantly written plot and a thrilling finale, Cloak & Dagger's creation has already carved out a lofty place among the best indie games of the year.

Justin Wack and the Big Time Hack is another great adventure for this year, which is recommended to all fans of the genre. It features good humor, a relatively long length, dozens of puzzles to solve and a clever and entertaining story that, without being overwhelming, makes it a highly enjoyable adventure experience.

Voodoo Detective is a remarkable adventure with a unique aesthetic, which could have scored even higher if it had a little more difficult puzzles and a longer duration. However, it does succeed in introducing a likeable new hero to the adventure genre, who may star in even more adventures in the future. After all, he has a debt to Baron.

Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit is an adventure that pushes all the right buttons for fans of the genre. It features a beautiful story, well-written dialogues, enough interesting Lithuanian history and the necessary mystery to keep the player's curiosity high until the credits roll. Even with its slightly disappointing ending, this is a game you ought to add to your collection.

Blast Brigade is obviously a game full of quality and passion. The lovable graphical aspect is accompanied by tons of humour and satire, and a quality voice-over, while the gameplay has an impressive depth and is enriched each time so aptly that it sharply renews interest until the end of the adventure.

Dexter Stardust: Adventures in Outer Space is a game worth trying at some point for adventure fans, especially at the price offered. It's not going to leave an indelible mark on the adventure game world, but it's an honest effort from a man who loves the genre and wants to contribute his bit to it.
