Some things never change, and so it seemed to be for Gamescom 2022, held once again at the enormous Kolnmesse exhibition center in Cologne, Germany. Even though things were a bit different this year to keep everyone safe from Covid, with booths being a bit further apart and many people wearing face masks, it still […]

There's no doubt about it: Who's Lila? is a very unusual game. That should not come as a surprise if you take even a casual glance at any of its screenshots, full of grotesquely misshapen faces and bleak 1-bit graphics. But even for a game that starts out by asking you to manipulate your character's […]

I had only managed to progress about thirty minutes into the ship-based antics of inkle’s Overboard!, and yet in just a few playthroughs I'd already been arrested once, flirted heavily with the boat's commander, and currently found myself on a wild murder spree, trying madly to kill everyone on board.

Or it could be those fields themselves – beautiful snapshots of the […]

As the world continues to throw one overwhelming event after another at us, Tiny Room Stories: Town Mystery's offer of simple, well-made puzzles you can actually solve – or at least attempt to – becomes quite attractive. What it may lack in a hugely engaging story or flashy voice-overs, it definitely makes up in the […]

My memories of last year’s gamescom, the first (but hopefully not the last) time I got to attend the event at the humongous Koelnmesse in Cologne, are filled with me frantically searching for booths, eating lots of takeaway German sausage, and, of course, meeting lots of friendly adventure game developers eager to show me their […]
