End of an Era: AG’s Editor Says Goodbye
After more than seventeen years, Editor-in-Chief Jack Allin leaves a few last parting words on his final day at the helm of Adventure Gamers.
McPixel review
If early graphic adventures had been made for arcades, they might have looked and played something like this madcap time-limited romp.
SCARF review
This beautiful 3D puzzle-platformer is a pleasant genre-bender for the most part, though the endgame may prove to be a major pain in the neck.
Tandem: A Tale of Shadows review
The story trails far behind the gameplay in this otherwise enjoyable dual-character puzzle-platformer in a stylish steampunk mansion.
Omno review
Gamers everywhere should give this gorgeous 3D platforming adventure a chance, as it frequently soars above many of its contemporaries.
The Wild Case review
This lovely casual adventure with no hidden object searches is sadly undermined by a lack of any compelling story or gameplay.
Little Nightmares II review
While short on new ideas, Tarsier once again rises to the challenge of delivering a richly atmospheric, frighteningly macabre stealth horror experience.
Metamorphosis review
This Kafka-inspired bug adventure remains wonderfully surreal throughout but never develops into anything substantial enough to fully get it off the ground.
Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier review
No monkeying around allowed in this beautiful but gameplay-deficient, unoriginal choice-driven story of one primate species versus another.
Beyond Blue review
There’s no real gameplay to speak of, but this beautiful marine adventure should make for a whale of a few hours of exploring for ocean lovers.
Blair Witch review
Bloober Team’s original entry in the famed horror franchise is a solid psychological thriller with surprisingly little bite.
Silver Chains review
Despite its slick production values, where this first-person horror adventure breaks down is that it’s just not very scary or interactive enough to maintain suspense.
DARQ review
It's short in length and narratively incoherent, but this atmospheric side-scroller is a dream come true for fans of surreal environmental puzzlers.
Sea of Solitude review
Beneath the shallow gameplay of this gorgeous EA Original is a captivating metaphorical tale of struggling with personal demons.
Close to the Sun review
An otherwise decent Tesla-inspired thriller is held back somewhat by watered-down gameplay and horror elements.
