Hindsight
Adventure gameHindsight is a well-written small game with real limits. It is a painterly, two-to-three-hour meditation on a mother and a daughter, and its writing c...Good7.1Loretta
Adventure gameA short, controlled noir thriller that uses its branching choices to implicate the player in a marriage's collapse. The puzzles can be obtuse and a si...Good7.0Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE
Action gameRAIN CODE's murder mysteries are sharply written and enjoyably outrageous, wrapped in a game that often gets in its own way. On Switch, the frame rate...Good7.2Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Action gameHellblade takes psychosis seriously and builds its sound, puzzles and story around it. The audio design and lead performance are the reasons to play; ...Good7.7Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine
Action gameMonaco is a co-op crime caper built on one sharp idea — you can only see what your thief sees — and with a full crew that idea carries it a long way. ...Good7.5Mosaic
Adventure gameMosaic looks like one of the sharpest satires of office life and smartphone compulsion in games, and its mood is its best asset. But it is thin as a g...Mixed5.9to a T
Adventure gameto a T is a warm, funny, humane fable about living in a body the world wasn't built for — and a game too thin and too rough to recommend to most peopl...Mixed6.1Minute of Islands
Adventure gameMinute of Islands pairs gorgeous hand-drawn art with a moving fable about duty and sacrifice, but its puzzles and platforming ask so little that the m...Mixed6.1
Rain on Your Parade
Action gameRain on Your Parade bottles guilt-free mischief into a paper-thin cloud. It's short, occasionally uneven, and frequently funny — a schadenfreude simul...Good7.0A Fold Apart
Adventure gameA Fold Apart folds its geometry and its story into the same object, and few puzzle games make mechanic and meaning line up this cleanly. The puzzles s...Good7.2El Hijo - A Wild West Tale
Adventure gameEl Hijo – A Wild West Tale is a charming, low-stakes stealth adventure that's more affectionate pastiche than genre breakthrough — and at $19.99, it...Mixed5.9The Wreck
Adventure gameFew narrative games make reinterpreting a memory the central verb, and The Wreck builds its whole design around that idea. It's a solid, affecting t...Good7.0Jenny LeClue – Detectivú
Action gameMografi's meta-fictional detective adventure is a charming and structurally ambitious story game with real writing chops — even if its audio engineeri...Good7.1Severed
Action gameDrinkBox Studios took the most maligned control scheme in gaming—the touchscreen swipe—and built a genuinely tactile action RPG around it. The combat ...Good7.8Rustler
Action gameRustler is a funny medieval take on the top-down GTA formula, but clunky combat, mission-breaking bugs, and a short campaign make it hard to recomme...Mixed6.1Lacuna – A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure
Adventure gameTrust the player to name the wrong suspect and live with it — that single idea carries Lacuna, a taut, well-drawn sci-fi noir whose writing and conseq...Good7.3Unexplored
Action gameUnexplored takes on procedural generation's oldest problem — random levels that feel like nobody made them — and largely solves it. The combat and art...Good7.3Octodad: Dadliest Catch
Action gameYoung Horses gives you deliberately clumsy controls and dares you to laugh, and the joke lands often enough to matter. The campaign is short and the s...Good7.0Knights and Bikes
Action gameWarm, funny and hand-painted, Knights and Bikes tells a sincere story about grief under a kids-on-bikes treasure hunt. The combat is thin and never ge...Good7.0Teslagrad
Adventure gameRain Games built a puzzle-platformer that teaches physics through play and tells its whole story without a word, and its design still holds up more th...Good7.2INMOST
Adventure gameFor all its polish, INMOST is a solid but uneven package: a three-to-five hour pixel-art story with real emotional weight, held back by stiff combat a...Good7.4Moon: Remix RPG Adventure
