While not an overly challenging entry into the deductive mystery genre, The Incident at Galley House shines as a compelling mystery in its own right, as well as a worthy graphic reimagining of the text adventure Type Help.
Fans of Firewatch are likely to enjoy this similarly designed walking simulator set in the northern wilderness, though Arctic Awakening’s story fails to bring enough tension or wonderment to match its acclaimed predecessor.
The Centennial Case is one of the more ambitious FMV games in years, telling a century-spanning mystery while putting the player in charge of investigating several whodunits. Unfortunately, despite a solid production, there is very little to engage the player and the uneven acting performances fail to make up for...
Dustborn
While sporting an intriguing alternate timeline, a decent cast, and a variety of gameplay features, most players will find something to dislike in Dustborn, an epic action-adventure that fails to evoke excitement and sentiment over an excessively long playtime.
Move aside, Laura Bow. Nancy Maple is the reigning queen of retro-styled murder mysteries in The Crimson Diamond, a clever, engaging, and satisfying tale that is sure to entertain fans of Sierra’s text-driven EGA classics while being accessible to adventurers new to this style of game.

While non-Trekkies and puzzle lovers may find Star Trek: Resurgence less appealing, franchise fans looking to simply dive into another fine story in this expansive universe will not be disappointed.

Immortality
While it’s hindered slightly by some questionable game design and content choices, Immortality is an otherwise impressive achievement in filmmaking and gaming with a thought-provoking and chilling story that will leave you thinking about it long after it’s over.
The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is too pleasant to be much of a horror game, bogged down for too long with excessive narration and hand-holding, but those who stick with it will enjoy the challenging and chilling final act.
