The Posthumous Investigation has turned out to be a breath of fresh air among this year's detective adventure games. Brilliantly written text, complex characters, and a rarely-seen setting await us, all accompanied by gorgeous black-and-white visuals and catchy jazz. The time loop, however, is a double-edged sword: at first it's exciting to figure out the suspects' schedules, but by the second half of the game it becomes monotonous, thanks to the constant repetition, the dialogue you can't skip, and the items you have to collect over and over again. The ending won't be to everyone's taste either, but still, I'd say it's worth diving into, since it's rare to come across such an original mystery even among adventure games.

What we get here is a meticulously hand-drawn game with a distinctive visual style, one that truly comes into its own alongside its music. This is its main strength. Its pace is slow. The story is well put together and unfolds steadily; it isn't above average, but it's interesting enough – and vague enough in places – to leave you pondering it. If we don't approach it as an adventure game, I wouldn't count the ease of its puzzles as a negative either. Its replay value, however, is low, even if you're curious about the different endings.

Nighthawks managed to exceed expectations while also putting pressure on the competition. With a playtime of about 15–20 hours, it may not be replayed countless times, but its atmosphere makes it easy to play through a few times.

Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 is exactly the kind of title that's so niche it doesn't really matter what score you give it, because either you're into match-3 games or you're not. If you are, then alongside all the symbol hunting you get metroidvania-style gameplay and a genuinely endearing narrative. If this style isn't your thing, though, sitting down to play it will be a complete waste of your time.

It may well be that a better-crafted story could have helped the uncomfortably short The Alighieri Circle, but given the quality of the puzzles and the weightless dialogue, not even a sermon from the pulpit could save it now. What's more, it hardly matters that lavish visuals pour out at our feet if the muddled storytelling fails to evoke any feeling at all.

As the debut of a small, first-time developer, Theropods can be considered a fairly solid effort, capable of keeping players engaged for a few hours with its atmosphere, brain-teasing puzzles, and charming characters. And, of course, it’s not every day that you get to face off against prehistoric reptiles in an adventure game, which alone makes it worth giving a try. Preferably when it’s around 50% off.

Schrödinger’s Call can hardly be described as a traditional visual novel built around the usual East Asian clichés. We can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who enjoys thought-provoking stories full of twists - ones that might even make us pause for a moment and reflect not only on the lives of its characters, but on our own as well.

It’s a shame that Tukoni received so little attention from its developers, because it could have been a truly great game. Aside from its graphics and music, players were left with something rather formulaic, despite the considerable anticipation surrounding it even as an indie title.

Dimhaven may not have reinvented the wheel, but its genuine sense of adventure never let up for a single moment. That's precisely why it's such a shame that people unfairly overlook it on account of its niche appeal. One thing is certain: anyone who loved Quern definitely won't be disappointed by Dimhaven either.

Despite its flaws, The 7th Guest Remake is an atmospheric and highly entertaining experience. That said, its replay value may be exhausted after a single playthrough due to the nature of its narrative. Even so, the core essence that made the 1993 original so memorable remains entirely intact; it has simply been reshaped to meet the expectations of a modern audience.

Overall, 007: First Light unfortunately turned out to be a merely middling game, saved from a 6 only by its cinematic feel, the acting performances, and the strong level design. That said, I hear a sequel is in the works, and the foundation on display here is by no means something you couldn't build on. If the developers ironed out the NPC AI, and focused on some other gameplay mechanic instead of the platformer-style hopping around, this series could still go a very long way.

Although Legacy of the Dark Knight did not reinvent the genre of “brick-built” games, it stands as undeniable proof of the decades of experience and brilliance that TT Games represents. This game is not merely a love letter to Batman, but to Batman’s legacy as well.

Although Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery borrows a bit too heavily from its competitor Duck Detective, it's still worth checking out for those craving adventure. Judging by the interest in the demo, there's certainly going to be an audience curious about the mystery of the meowseum.

If you're looking for a light adventure or want to keep an energetic kid occupied for a few hours, give Origament a chance, because after a hard day it can have a refreshing effect on the mind. Those who enjoyed the similarly relaxation-focused Monument Valley or Where Cards Fall will likely not go wrong with this one either.

Foolish Mortals is, above all, a love letter to longtime fans of the genre. While the influence of the classics is clearly present, it becomes a true nostalgia trip without directly copying them. It could have used a bit more fine-tuning here and there, but if you enjoyed the ’90s entries of series like Monkey Island or Broken Sword, it’s unmissable.

It’s disappointing that, after nearly four years of development, DALOAR Studios can only show off awards cobbled together from earlier demos on its website, while wasting both the talent of a great actor and a promising project in the name of marketing. Like it or not, in a narrative-driven game, visuals cannot make up for the absence of a compelling story. Let’s hope the performance issues will be addressed.

If this is how Crystal Dynamics envisions the future of the franchise, they’d be better off closing the coffin they’ve opened and burying it deep again, because Legacy of Kain: Ascendance has turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments of 2026. Anyone expecting the latest LoK installment to ride in like a mythical steed is bound to be let down - because Bit Bot Media is essentially trying to sell the same bloated, long-dead horse all over again in the hope of turning a profit.

Apopia: Sugar Coated Tale is a beautifully hand-drawn adventure with a distinctive sense of humor—one that offers more depth than its lighthearted tone and quirky characters might suggest at first glance. What we’ll never know, however, is how it might have turned out if it had been released four years earlier as a more compact experience, with fewer filler sections.

Although the team at PlayEveryWare tried to smooth over the flaws and shortcomings of Defiance Remastered, it’s hard to be entirely satisfied, as the abundance of pointless and unnecessary downloadable content can easily become overwhelming. The base game itself isn’t free of issues either, but it still fulfills the principle of being necessary and sufficient - more than enough for anyone who wants to finally see the story of Raziel and Kain through to its conclusion.

Aspyr Media, together with the most dedicated fans, has done everything possible to ensure that Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered touches the hearts of longtime players. Despite the outdated gameplay mechanics and some issues with the new version, the story and the music easily carry the experience. I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone, as it remains a valuable piece of video game history.
