Review: The Painscreek Killings
The Painscreek Killings is a walking-simulator mystery game where you play as a journalist investigating a murder in a small, now abandoned town. The game aspires to replicate the experience of solving a real murder by depriving you of all the in-game hints you may be used to.

Read MoreReview: Life is Strange: True Colors
True Colors is the latest installment in the Life is Strange series and was developed by Deck Nine. True Colors follows a brand new protagonist, Alex, with a brand new superpower— empathy. While there are several areas where I just wanted more out of the experience, I’m still debating if this game might actually be better than the original Life is Strange.

Review: Twin Mirror
Twin Mirror is the result of mixing the deductive work of Sherlock Holmes, the former mining town from Night in the Woods, and the nightmare sequence from the original Life is Strange. DONTNOD has a history of making some great narrative games, but this one just fell a bit short of its potential. If you’re interested in a returning-home story with a mysterious death and supernatural memory powers, I’d recommend Tell Me Why instead.

Review: Vampyr
Vampyr is an action-RPG where the player assumes the role of Dr. Jonathan Reid, a newborn vampire (Ekon) and well-respected surgeon in 1918 London. The player must balance medical ethics with the need for blood, while also trying to cure London of the latest flu epidemic and solve the mystery of their own transformation. Piece of cake, right?
