    Onirike
    It won’t deliver enough puzzle challenge or story depth to fully satisfy adventure game purists, but for fans of 3D platformers, the beautifully surreal Onirike serves up a pleasant helping of running, jumping, and exploring through dreamlike, Burton-esque worlds.

    Nemezis: Mysterious Journey III
    Nemezis: Mysterious Journey III nails the beauty and atmosphere of a Myst game but misses the mark in just about every other respect.

    Death off the Cuff - Remastered
    It’s short and may rely a little too much on satirizing the genre for its humor, but Death Off the Cuff is an enjoyably playful text adventure nod to the classic Christie-style detective stories that should appeal to any fan of whodunits.

    Maquette
    It’s got an interesting gameplay construct and some gorgeously animated locations to explore, but some clumsy moments with controls and unclear leaps of puzzle logic mean that Maquette’s tale of whirlwind romance only flutters rather than flies.

    An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs
    Though it lacks much in the way of interesting gameplay, An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs boasts hilarious dialogue and dark mysteries to uncover from its wonderfully diverse canine cast, and its ambiguous undertones are proof that not all dogs see things in black and white.

    The Secret Of Retropolis
    Though the fun is over far too soon, VR adventure gamers owe it to themselves to play The Secret of Retropolis as it perfectly captures the atmosphere of film noir in an unexpectedly comedic all-robot futuristic setting.

    Not Another Weekend
    It’s not particularly challenging, but Not Another Weekend offers solid gameplay, a zany plot loaded with humor, loads of 80s nostalgia, a few welcome surprises, and an expansive cast of memorable characters.

    Detective From The Crypt
    Favouring style over substance, Detective from the Crypt certainly looks pretty but an unengaging story and pedestrian gameplay leave little impression otherwise.

    Root Film
    Root Film addresses some of its predecessor’s narrative shortcomings while accentuating its impressive production values. It may not offer much player agency or any challenge at all, but as a light-hearted murder mystery romp it is well worth a second (or first) trip to Shimane Prefecture.

    Operation: Tango
    Operation: Tango provides such a fun series of asymmetric spy action to share with a friend that it’s a shame it ends way too soon.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Creepy Tale 2
    Creepy Tale 2 successfully carves out a visual identity of its own without its predecessor’s troubling reliance on external influences, but it takes giant steps backward with regard to its story, puzzles, and atmosphere.

    HADR
    Hadr’s literal disappearing act is intriguing for the mellow hour or so it takes to complete, though the lack of puzzle complexity makes the game’s great concept seem somewhat underutilized.

    The Forgotten City
    Uniformly excellent writing, acting, and audio-visual presentation of an ancient Roman city and its imminently doomed citizens make The Forgotten City a mystery well worth solving—and the clever time-looping mechanics make your investigation a lot of fun.

    Where Wind Becomes Quiet
    If you have the patience to fully explore the narrative of Where Wind Becomes Quiet, you can’t help but feel emotionally invested in the life of a tormented writer who is trying desperately to remember his past. Just be sure to have a box of tissues handy, as you will certainly need them.

    Almost My Floor
    Almost My Floor tells an interesting two-pronged horror/detective story with bold comic-book-style artwork and a mix of point-and-click puzzle solving, investigation, and timed action sequences that all work together extremely well.

    Sam & Max: This Time It's Virtual!
    While the Freelance Police are just as funny and sound as good as ever, a reliance on VR gimmicks and underwhelming gameplay prevent This Time It’s Virtual! from being a notable entry in the beloved Sam & Max franchise.

    Dr Livingstone, I Presume?
    While it presents a much rosier version of its central characters than the historical record suggests, Dr Livingstone, I Presume? features a well-structured series of escape room puzzles that’s hindered somewhat by a repetitive soundtrack and use of color.

    Maskmaker
    Hampered only by some clumsy storytelling and awkward mechanical problems, Maskmaker is an immersive VR experience and an inventive adventure game with enough fun gimmicks to feel like a fresh take on the genre.

    The Wild Case
    The Wild Case seems to have begun life as yet another hidden object adventure before mutating into a beautiful but thoroughly domesticated point-and-click adventure that underwhelms in all respects but one.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Fabled Woods
    The Fabled Woods delivers an intriguing trio of interconnected tales with a nice coat of production polish, but the game’s brevity and lack of interaction result in a power hike through the heart of the wilderness instead of a more compelling, slow-paced stroll.

    The Last Show of Mr. Chardish
    What The Last Show of Mr. Chardish lacks in particularly engaging gameplay, it makes up for with a beautiful art style, a variety of settings, and some interesting ideas about art and identity.

    The Magnificent Trufflepigs
    The Magnificent Trufflepigs offers a gorgeous stroll through the English countryside which sadly gets muddied by some weak story choices and repetitive gameplay.

    There Was the Moon
    There Was the Moon succeeds at transporting players to a hauntingly surreal yet beautiful landscape, where menacingly unfamiliar sights and unsettling sound design combine to present an alien experience that won’t soon be forgotten.

    Minute of Islands
    Minute of Islands is a beautiful, unflinching game about the power to save what you hold dear and the responsibility that comes with it. Its breathtaking visual style, moving story and intensely affecting presentation add up to a one-of-a-kind puzzle-platforming experience.

    Supposedly Wonderful Future
    Supposedly Wonderful Future feels a bit like a cross between a heady sci-fi visual novel and a social experiment, focused on recording players’ choices when faced with moral dilemmas. Unfortunately, none of these are implemented in a way that serves the story in a meaningful way, making the experience, while unique, ultimately flat and unfulfilling.

    Cloudpunk: City of Ghosts
    While the storytelling is not as tight as in the base Cloudpunk game, the dual narrative, new characters, and quality-of-life improvements make City of Ghosts a worthy DLC expansion that is substantial enough to be a full-fledged sequel.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Lacuna - A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure
    Lacuna is a wonderfully tense hard-boiled story set in a gorgeous jazzpunk future. Its mysteries will make you work for the answers, and will even let you fail, but either way the payoff is a sense of accomplishment that few other narrative puzzlers provide.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Flow Weaver
    Despite an innovative approach to an escape room-style adventure, with actions in one realm affecting another, the extensive hard-to-follow dialog, finicky controls and “to be continued” ending makes it difficult to recommend Flow Weaver as a worthwhile standalone VR experience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    I Saw Black Clouds
    I Saw Black Clouds is an entertaining psychological FMV thriller where player choice actually makes a significant difference in how the story plays out. While its production values are modest and puzzles are non-existent, the solid acting, short playthrough length, intriguing mystery, and high replayability will likely keep players coming back for more.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Lust from Beyond
    Lust from Beyond tells a thoughtful, albeit unapologetically disturbing, story. Its puzzles won’t leave you stumped for long, its action and stealth aren’t particularly engaging, and a number of technical issues are sure to cause frustration, but if you have a strong stomach for this particular brand of erotic horror, the excellent world-building and grotesque imagery will reward those who see it through.
