For the Free Chapter 1, it's very well made. There is a story, but to progress the story you'll have to use your brain and solve the puzzles. If you like escape rooms, this game is well made for that but in "2D". Only thing, when u dont know what to do, it would've been nice to have a tip, just like in the mirror in the start, that could point you in the right direction to progress.

I hated this. I absolutely hated this. So the First Chapter lures you in and gets you hooked on some of the mechanics, and some of them are frustrating but it's a Point 'n' Click Adventure Title so of course it's got some chicanery akin to using a fish to mine for spacedust to give to the Juju Witch in the Bayou to animate a talking skull to find a secret path that lets you rent a speedboat to find Gromit from Wallace and Gromit squaredancing with Shaun the Sheep in an 80's themed bar in Manhattan in 2002. Then they're like "Ok time's up, pay us £3 for Chapter 2". ... God I hate this game.

A room full of strange clues, disturbing surprises, and puzzles that make you question both the solution and your sanity. The surreal atmosphere and clever connection between the game and short film make this escape room wonderfully weird.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.

Games like Frostpunk, where the law book does the damage

Games like Frostpunk for anyone who misses the Book of Laws more than the cold: the sequel's factions, a besieged house, beaver droughts, a drifting ark and the template it came from.
