Bob Richardson's Reviews
Better options exist, but few have tackled such a fascinating premise and philosophical queries.
An intriguing, though lackluster, conclusion.
Although still intended for kids, the beginning promises more creativity.
If you can learn the system down to your bones, then this will be a fulfilling adventure.
A commendable and adequate Lovecraftian tale worthy of your time.
A bite-sized puzzle game with an emphasis on crafting stories that will delight for a short gaming romp.
Those invested in the series who haven't played this will find the best way to play it, while those with cursory interest may be left wanting.
A flawed, yet beautiful, tale of a mother and her son.
A slump in a promising series, Episode 2 still contains emotional highs and thoughtful choices.
Although still intended for kids, the plot is more satisfying for all ages.
The systems and inner workings of Foretales create a captivating, addictive experience, but the repetitive nature of character and location cards stymies an otherwise magnificent experience.
Mundaun will attract its targeted, tiny demographic: those who can see past the dated visuals and lackluster controls. Fortunately, the hand-drawn textures might rope in a few people, and the sepia-esque colors stand out compared to other first-person adventure titles. Mundaun is technologically impotent but makes up for it with excellent atmosphere, sense of place, and storytelling. If you can see past its flaws, Mundaun is a wonderful, short adventure title.
Suited for those with a sense of humor who enjoy the idea of poking fun at just about anyone on a pedestal.
A competent Metroidvania that will entertain for ten to fifteen hours.
A worthwhile excursion, Pathway's unrealized potential hurts my heart.
A brilliantly unique experience later soddened with unusual game design decisions.
It's a cartographer simulator.
If you've been waiting for a facelift to experience this historic title, this is a fantastic time to hop in, but expect some of the rougher parts of its original design to irritate.
Hilariously creative yet will also push the boundaries of what others find palatable.
A young adult mystery surrounding a quaint town that prefers simplicity over ambition.
