Life is Strange 2 is doing decently so far. The first episode kicked off nicely according to our resident Life is Strange expert Brett. Episode 2 slowed down that growth a bit and Episode 3 continued that plunge. How will Episode 4 turn out...

Little Nightmares dropped back in 2017 and made a rather large splash: as far as atmospheric adventure games go that aren't from Playdead studios. Tarsier Studios is even returning for the sequel, Little Nightmares II, which was revealed to...

If you haven't played 2015's Her Story yet and really enjoy the idea of a modern FMV adventure game, you probably should get on that: it's $10 on Steam and worth an afternoon (or several). It's better than the FMV board game from Community,...

Psychonauts 2 is getting made because enough people believed in it. Some of those people supported it like a normal crowdfunded game -- chip in at a tier and then earn some rewards. But, because it was funded by Fig, others made actual...

Come October, you'll be bustin' like it's 2009. The remaster of the vaunted Ghostbusters: The Video Game is nearly ready to haunt this mortal plane. Fittingly, Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered will launch during the spooky...

For those who have not been following along on the community side of things, Destructoid user Soulbow has been consistently pestering me, for over a year now, to keep writing these reviews for The Council. I mean, this episode came out...

Do you ever want to play games where you're just....driving? Soaking in the environment, having conversations, and listening to whatever pops on the radio? Well, I've got three games lined up based on that premise on this week's episode of ...

The sea is loneliness. That's not a spoiler for Sea of Solitude, the latest effort from Berlin-based indie studio Jo-Mei, and a game that, since its announcement some years ago, has been fairly explicit about its allegorical nature, and its...

Nintendo treasure and producer/director Shigeru Miyamoto had a few things to say about adventure games in a recent company Q&A. When pressed as to why Nintendo doesn't continue to support the genre in the modern era (with Famicom Detect...

The Sinking City is without a doubt a love letter to H. P. Lovecraft's work. Even going as far as being set within the same universe, specifically The Shadow over Innsmouth, and directly references those events and plenty more from Lov...

Solve The Mystery of Woolley Mountain in today's PC and Switch contest! At some point in time, I became the guy who features and reviews adventure games. I didn't grow up playing them, so I'm not sure how this came to pass. Life can sometim...

Graavik looks like a postcard. A small village nestled alongside a larger-than-life fjord, the town's pastoral architecture and scenic landscape combine to create an impossibly beautiful place. Anyone would be lucky to wind up here, amid an...
