    Imaginaria
    Imaginaria offers an intriguing glimpse into the unremarkable lives of those who remarkably choose to reside in extreme isolation. Gameplay boils down to little more than an interactive educational tour, but as long as you’re fine with a narrative micro-experience rather than a brain-teasing survival adventure, this trip to remote Antarctica is one worth taking.

    Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 3: Baddest of the Bands
    The fact that this game excels at the end makes up for the slow beginning and mini-game robbery, but only to make it just as good as the last two episodes.

    Warp Frontier
    It may be a little dense and awkward on occasion, but Warp Frontier boldly flies into some deep, dark places, mostly managing to balance challenging puzzles with personal choices and big ideas.

    MIAZMA or the Devil's Stone
    Just like its predecessor, MIAZMA or the Devil’s Stone provides a lot of charming B movie-type fun, with a story that will keep you engaged all the way through. Even though its ending is rushed and has only an English dub, FMV mystery fans should definitely give this one a try.

    Illusion: A Tale of the Mind
    Seeing (and hearing, and playing) is believing, so do yourself a favour and check out Illusion: A Tale of the Mind, a flawed but wonderfully immersive and inexplicably-unheralded little 3D platforming adventure.
    • 73 Metascore

    Monolith
    This is a beautifully presented adventure in the classic style that tries to set itself apart with a character-focused, twisty narrative, though it falls prey to some narrative clichés and frustrating puzzles. Overall, Monolith will likely win fans with its high overall production value but isn’t distinctive enough to leave a lasting impression.

    A Night at the Watermill
    A Night at the Watermill is an enticing, concise interactive fiction game that blends enigmas, moral choices, and multiple narratives into a rewarding one-hour adventure.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    LUNA The Shadow Dust
    LUNA: The Shadow Dust is an audio-visual delight, with charming hand-drawn animation accompanied by a stellar soundtrack, though its gameplay isn’t very inventive and is ultimately more a case of style over substance.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Tandem: A Tale of Shadows
    It could use a stronger pairing of story and gameplay, but Tandem: A Tale of Shadows is a cleverly conceived puzzle-platformer stuffed full of dual-character, double-dimension obstacles to overcome.
    • 68 Metascore

    Dark Fall: The Journal
    A very well-designed ghost story from a very promising developer, and well worth the purchase for suspense and first-person fans.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
    Despite the mounting criticism, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney is a decent enough game in its own right, and fans of the series can expect much of what they enjoyed in previous offerings.

    Dracula: Origin
    Despite the criticism that prevent it from realizing its potential, this is by no means a bad game and could serve you well if you're looking for something new to try.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Chaos on Deponia
    Very similar to its predecessor with a few improvements in pacing and story, Chaos on Deponia is a solid adventure that fans of LucasArts-style comedies will likely enjoy.

    The Long Reach
    Despite the vagueness of its larger mystery, for players who love disaster thrillers, especially those with maniacal killers in them, The Long Reach offers plenty of twists and scares.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Mooseman
    The Mooseman is a beautiful and moving art game that tells the story of a shaman’s journey to bring light to the world. It’s short but well worth playing for the atmosphere and creativity on display.

    DARQ
    DARQ’s rich atmosphere and clever central gameplay mechanic should overshadow any misgivings about its short length and narrative abstraction.

    Little Misfortune
    Don’t be fooled by the glitter and sparkles: Little Misfortune is a surprisingly dark but very engaging grown-up tale about a little girl trying to find beauty in life’s ugliness.

    The Last Cube
    Although rough around the edges in the story department, The Last Cube hits where it counts: fun powers used to solve clever logic puzzles in intriguing sci-fi environments.

    Message Quest
    Message Quest is great for a lite adventure breather in between heavier games, offering an hour or two of fun without too much thinking involved.

    Lucid Dream (2018)
    The large number of puzzles and colourful range of environments make Lucid Dream a worthwhile experience for those who care more for problem-solving and exploration than narrative.

    Secret Files: Tunguska
    A highly-polished game, but suffers from an uninspired design. While it remains mostly pleasant to play, it is not as satisfying an experience as it ought to have been.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller Episode 1 - The Hangman
    Though flawed, the first episode of Cognition leaves a great final impression and sets up a series that could become a major achievement for episodic adventure gaming.

    The Cameron Files: Pharaoh's Curse
    While not supplying any complex game play design or innovation, one thing I appreciated about PC is its polish.

    Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island
    The best game so far in the Nancy Drew series.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Fire Escape (2020)
    This game is wildly implausible and absurdly melodramatic—you already know if that appeals to you or not, and if so, Fire Escape is a very fun way to spend an hour or more of voyeuristic spying.

    Aura: Fate of the Ages
    Puzzle-hungry adventurers look no further: Aura provides an endless number of puzzles, pretty static backgrounds, well-crafted cutscenes and mood music, at the expense of developing any real storyline.

    Puzzle Agent
    Anyone looking for the next Sam & Max or Monkey Island won't find anything like that here, but with Puzzle Agent Telltale took an intriguing step in a new direction towards puzzle-based adventuring, and the result has proven to be well worthwhile.

    Nancy Drew: Sea of Darkness
    Sea of Darkness is a fine entry in the Nancy Drew pantheon, relying on the series’ strengths of character development, exploration, and writing.

    Iris.Fall
    Iris.Fall emerges from the shadows with challenging puzzles and beautiful art direction. Its streamlined gameplay may not always match the impeccable quality of its presentation, but this is unquestionably an adventure that deserves to be undertaken by puzzle fanatics.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Pendula Swing - The Complete Journey
    The complexity and weighty subject matter of the complete seven-part Pendula Swing threaten to get the better of it at times, but the end result is unique and uplifting, offering a timely social history lesson wrapped up in jazzy fantasy flair.
