If you have an hour to spare, it is worth the time to play through this “old school” game that reminds us of what adventuring used to be like

If you love horror as much as I do, I suggest you play this genuinely scary demo without delay. When The Land of Pain is released, you can bet I'll be there.

Overall, I’m glad I played and would recommend Little Nightmares (including The Depths) for teachable old dogs and those who have good hand-eye coordination and don’t buckle under pressure

Ultimately, despite the fact that the fierce, fighting fairies of Zanzarah only superficially resemble the gossamer creatures of my childhood memory, I had to agree with the press release when it described the game as “enthralling” - but - and it's a BIG BUT! I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who is a purist adventure gamer.

The writers obviously put a lot of effort into the story aspect but it does not come together in a way that makes you want to know more or empathize with the characters. Finally, the game ends with a fizzle.

Were it not for the platformers and timed puzzles, I believe I would have enjoyed this game quite a bit despite the fact that it didn't scare me

What Remains of Edith Finch is a treatise on death, but it’s not as morose as the singular topic would lead you to believe. In a strange way, Edith Finch is more about the light following the darkness than the hopelessness of fate.

Those who follow Glitch will not be disappointed by All That Remains

It played very smoothly, was challenging, and I liked it. Did I mention that it’s freeware?

If you are a gamer who appreciates exploring a fantastic open world with a heartfelt story, you should not miss RIME

Although the game has great potential, the sloppy implementation and bad design choices almost completely ruin the experience
