So good but so, so buggy.

Point-and-click adventure fans with a soft spot for hand-crafted worlds will want to keep an eye on Harold Halibut, "a cross between game and stop motion film." I'm sure I've seen it before – the creators at Slow Bros. have toiled awa...

There is a start to everything. All conflicts and compassions require a catalyst, but finding the true zero point can range from easy to very, very tricky. This is the setup of Genesis Noir, an adventure from developer Feral Cat Den that's ...

It may only be March, but I'd wager the cast of Gnosia is the most infatuating group of eclectic weirdos we'll see in gaming this year. The 14 characters that make up the passengers of this wayward spaceship are a diverse bunch, w...

A few years ago, The Silver Case and its sequel, The 25th Ward: The Silver Case, were given the HD remaster treatment on PC and PS4. For Western fans of Suda51, it gave us a look at some of his earlier work, the games he made before he...

Nintendo Switch fans who are craving something a little... out-there will want to set aside time next month for Gnosia, a "social deduction" sci-fi RPG with an unmistakable visual-novel style. After reports of a late February launch, Playis...

In today's contest you can win Journey to the Savage Planet on Steam! I almost typed out Journey to the Sausage Planet, which would be pretty funny, but not quite accurate. It's Journey to the Savage Planet, and it just hit Steam! That mean...

There's something so intriguing to me about solving two-player puzzles with a friend in a point-and-click adventure. That's the premise for The Past Within, a new PC and mobile game from Rusty Lake. If you've checked out this team's prior ...

As I put the finishing touches on my first Borderlands 3 playthrough (I waited for the PS5 version and I'm so glad I did), I've been eying Tales from the Borderlands in my library. I've gone on record to say that it's my favorite Telltale a...

The second reveal at The Game Awards might end up being one of the most indescribable ones all night. The only way I can think to explain Tchia is through the lens of other games. Like, it has majestic open-world exploration (and para...

I don't know much about Call of the Sea but I instantly respect it for one reason: It's one of the few games that's willing to go head-to-head with Cyberpunk 2077. When most other publishers have turned tail and ran from the Cyberpunk...
