Death Squared (RORORORO) By: SMG Studio I got SMG Studio's Death Squared a few days early and was hoping to be able to finish it and write a proper review in time for release. It turned out to be a much harder game than I anticipated, and one that I enjoy but in short bursts. I didn't want to wait until I complete the game to get some impressions out for my…
Florence By: Annapurna Interactive (Mountains) This is a bit of a hard review to write. Florence is a short game, and anything you know about it ahead of time will just lessen the experience. In fact, even reading the App Store description will keep you from being all too surprised at what happens. Assuming you read it before buying, you're going to know at least the gist of the story. But it's…
True Legacy By: Blindfire Limited My start with True Legacy was a bit clumsy and confusing, due to stopping every few lines to read the meanings of terms. Since it takes place in Hong Kong in the year 2084, there's technology and jargon that needs to be explained by tapping on the word to see a definition. But I stuck with it and it wasn't too long before I got sucked in,…
Bring You Home By: Alike Studio I never reviewed Alike Studio's cute and colorful point-and-click adventure, Love You to Bits (LYtB) and, while I did enjoy my time with it, there were some issues that kept me from being as enthralled with it as others were. In it, you played as Kosmo, who's in love with a robot named Nova that gets blown to bits. You then search the galaxy for her…
The Office Quest By: Deemedya INC I wasnΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗t planning to write a full review for Deemedya's The Office Quest, but IΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗ve been raging so much about it on Twitter that I figured I should compile my thoughts into a review for those who donΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗t follow me on there. It's been quite a rollercoaster ride, as the game has the makings of what could be a true classic, but deceptive pricing and some…
The Room: Old Sins By: Fireproof Games If you're a puzzle or adventure game fan who owns an iOS device, you'd have to be living under a rock not to have heard of Fireproof's The Room series, and chances are you've played at least one of their games by now. They consist of realistic puzzle boxes that you unlock and pull apart with your finger by turning keys, sliding sliders, pressing buttons,…
Four Last Things By: Joe Richardson If you ever thought, "why isn't there a point-and-click adventure built out of old Renaissance paintings," you might be happy to learn that there is indeed a point-and-click adventure built out of old Renaissance paintings. Joe Richardson's aptly named Four Last Things has been out on PC since last year, but mostly went ignored by me because I hate those dirty, disgusting things. So I was…
Meteorfall: Journey By: Eric Farraro (Slothwerks) I spent so much time playing Asmodee Digital's solitaire card game, Onirim, in 2017, and it made me eager to seek out other games that are accessible and easy to play at any moment, but that require some tough choices weighing risk versus reward. Slothwerks' Meteorfall: Journey is the latest of these games and it combines the binary decision-making of Reigns with dungeon crawling. In Meteorfall,…
