Adventure gameHeave Ho turns two floppy arms and a bottomless pit into a genuinely funny, chaotic couch co-op design. It's short, punishing late on, and thin alone,...Good7.2Gravity Bone
Adventure gameGravity Bone is a free, brief spy story that earns a clear recommendation. Its jump-cut editing and confident mood outweigh clumsy platforming and a d...Great8.2Lightmatter
Adventure gameLightmatter turns one lethal rule — that shadows kill — into a tight, inventive puzzle campaign, and David Bateson's venomous CEO keeps it funny. It i...Good7.0Strange Antiquities

Action gameThe best stealth sandbox ever built is attached to a story that visibly runs out of road. Play it for the systems, forgive it for the ending, and swit...Outstanding9.2Renowned Explorers: International Society
Adventure gameAbbey Games built a tactics game where flattery, mockery and fists are all equally valid weapons, and the idea holds up well beyond its novelty. Famil...Good7.7Scrabdackle
Action gameA confident, hand-animated Zelda-like with fast, demanding wand combat and a world dense with lore — but only a third of it exists yet. Act 1 is a sol...Good7.7
Wildmender
Adventure gameWildmender has one of the best ideas in the cozy-survival genre — you fix a dead world by moving water through it — but a grindy middle, thin combat a...Mixed6.5Out There: Ω Edition
Adventure gameOut There: Ω Edition is a bleak, well-written survival roguelike whose blunt randomness, opaque endgame and thin onboarding make it hard to recommend ...Mixed6.7Wavetale
Adventure gameWavetale's water traversal is genuinely special, but the combat, puzzles and checklist busywork around that movement are shallow, and the campaign is ...Mixed6.1Lingo 2
Adventure gameA bigger, stranger and far more confident sequel that throws out the original's rulebook and builds a new word-puzzle language inside a world that kee...Great8.4Ibb & Obb
Action gameIbb & Obb is a co-op puzzle platformer built so completely around two people that playing it alone barely counts as playing it. It is short and punish...Good7.5Kids
Adventure gameKids is a 20-minute interactive short about crowds, priced like one at $3.99, and it will disappoint anyone expecting a conventional game. The animati...Mixed6.3Leo's Fortune
Action gameLeo's Fortune is a beautifully made physics platformer that holds up better than most of its 2014 mobile peers: tightly tuned, complete, and free of m...Good7.7Kraken Academy!!
Adventure gameHappy Broccoli Games built a sharp, funny time-loop mystery on top of a cast odd enough to carry it. It is short and its objectives are sometimes mudd...Good7.1The Signifier
Adventure gameThe Signifier's dream-logic puzzles are often obtuse and its ending confuses more than it provokes, which makes it hard to recommend to most people. F...Mixed6.4Wheels of Aurelia
Adventure gameWheels of Aurelia is a stylish, politically ambitious piece of interactive fiction set on a 1978 coastal road, but the car barely matters and the piec...Mixed5.8Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty!
Action gameJust Add Water's remake of Abe's Oddysee keeps the satire of industrial greed landing as hard as it did in 1997, and quicksave finally makes the game ...Good7.3Loot River
Action gameLoot River's tile-sliding combat is a genuinely original idea, but stiff melee, thin variety and repetitive procedural levels squander much of it. At ...Mixed5.8Tormented Souls
Action gameTormented Souls brings back fixed-camera survival horror with care and very little irony. Its puzzles are smart and its dread is earned, but the clunk...Good7.0Fading Afternoon

Action gameHere Comes Niko! is a short, generous 3D collect-a-thon about being kind to strangers, and it doesn't punish you for being bad at jumping. We recommen...Good7.3Hoa
