Review | TR-49 - Getting Lost Between The Stacks
TR-49 draws you in with the promise of new discoveries. The new narrative deduction game from inkle marries its puzzle elements with an audio drama, laying out a winding path of archival documents for you to trace its central mystery.

Review | Perfect Tides: Station to Station - Just Enjoy the Ride
Perfect Tides: Station to Station is a lovingly crafted, often uncomfortable look at the transition into adulthood.
Taylor Rioux reviews.
Review | Big Hops – Let’s Do the Frog-dyssey
Big Hops might not have the polish of bigger 3D platformers but its fundamentals and its heart make it near impossible not to cheer for this lil guy and his big adventure.

Review | Goodnight Universe - Don’t Blink Twice
You might play as a baby in Goodnight Universe, but the game has big shoes to fill. Made by developers who worked on the critically-acclaimed Before Your Eyes, it doesn’t quite reach the same heights as its predecessor. Brandon Craw reviews.
Review | Keeper - Finding Your Place
In its brief runtime, Lee Petty and Double Fine’s Keeper manages to sweep you up in its surrealist world, while keeping you grounded with a simple but affecting tale of found family.

Review | Duskpunk - Break Your Chains
Fans of Citizen Sleeper will find a lot to like in Duskpunk, which puts a gritty spin on the former’s Blades in the Dark–inspired gameplay.
Steven Stoermer reviews.
Review: The August Before - Little to Digest
Though it tells a relatable story, busywork-esque gameplay and a narrative that offloads much of its exposition to pop-culture references mean that The August Before lacks a cathartic payoff.

Review | Fantasy Maiden Wars - For Touhou Fans and First-Timers
The English-language release of Fantasy Maiden Wars: DREAM OF THE STRAY DREAMER is a combination of four strategy games, which themselves draw from two major franchises: Touhou Project and Super Robot Wars.

Review | Spindle - Don’t Fear Me
Paired with a trusty pig, Steven Stoermer takes on the role of Reaper — and rolls across the map — in Spindle, a short meditation on grief with the vibe of a classic adventure game.
Review | The Berlin Apartment - Over the Wall
The Berlin Apartment tells interesting stories from a rarely covered perspective but doesn’t quite hit the mark when it comes to gameplay.

Review | Dispatch Episodes 1 & 2 – Telltale Signs
Dispatch’s first two episodes show promise, particularly when the player is tasked with wrangling its roster of superheroes.

Review | Mind Over Magnet for Xbox - An Interactive Dev Diary
Mind Over Magnet is an enjoyable puzzle platformer, but what makes it shine is developer and Game Maker’s Toolkit host Mark Brown’s commitment to sharing the ins and outs of the game’s design process.
Jay Weaver reviews.
Review | CloverPit - And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Debt
With its macabre trappings and roguelike mechanics, CloverPit’s slot machine reels you back in again, over and over. Perhaps fortunately, its compulsive allure does not appear to be lasting.
Artemis Octavio reviews.
Review | Blippo+ - A Planet Left Too Soon
Blippo+ combines a retro television experience with intergalactic new wave style to tell the channel-spanning story of the planet Blip.
Philip Adrian reviews.
Review | Dark Queen of Mortholme - Witness Me
Playing as the antagonist is not a new concept, but Dark Queen of Mortholme puts its own twist on the material in a short, but impactful, game.
Steven Stoermer reviews.
Review | Static Dread - Ghosts on the Wire
Static Dread harnesses the isolation inherent to being a lighthouse keeper and gives it a Lovecraftian twist, making you the bulwark that keeps your community safe from eldritch terrors.

Review | Eriksholm - The Stolen Dream
Eriksholm pairs stealth-based puzzles with vivid cutscenes to tell an interesting story, but it feels like it doesn’t fulfill its potential.
