A great hidden object game for hidden object enthusiasts.

A beautiful and fun hidden object game. This free game contains only one level that will probably take you about an hour to finish. Then there is a (reasonably priced) DLC that contains an extra level.

A fairly decent and easy hidden object game. If you like hidden object games, it might be worth it to spend a couple of hours on this game.

A pretty decent hidden object/puzzle game. If you're into this kind of game, you'll likely enjoy playing it.

Neva is definitely a step in the right direction for Nomada Studio.

While Gris was an impressive audiovisual experience, its gameplay mechanics were quite barebones. Neva takes the core mechanics of Gris and improves on them by adding combat and interactions with the animal companion. This results in a more challenging gameplay experience, which experienced players should find more appealing. On the other hand, there is also a story mode suited for more casual gamers that just want to enjoy the beauty of the game without the extra challenge.

Speaking of beauty, the art style of Neva is as breathtaking as that of Gris. The ambiance of the game is a lot darker compared to Gris, but there are also some impressively colorful scenes projecting hope and the feeling of renewal. One obvious influence when it comes to the art style is Studio Ghibli. One can see Hayao Miyazaki's influence when it comes to both the enemies and the animals.

A review of a Nomada Studio game wouldn't be complete without mentioning the music of Berlinist and the way it blends with the art style to guide the flow of the story. Every note enhances the experience, be it a calm moment enjoying the ambience or the heat of battle.

I must admit I was worried whether Nomada Studio would be capable of repeating the success of Gris. But the creators of Gris proved they can not only replicate the brilliance of their previous game but even improve on it.

Choice of Life: Middle Ages is a short but fun choose-your-own-adventure game.

You start out as a baby born in a peasant family during the Middle Ages, and every choice you make will determine the ultimate outcome of your adventures. Be aware, though, as death awaits on every corner. There is a way to cheat death but it comes with a price. Whether you decide to pay the price or not is up to you.

As I already mentioned, this game is pretty short (you can unlock all achievements in about 2-3 hours), but it's a also pretty cheap. So I'd say the length of the game is appropriate for its price.

If you enjoy choose-ypur-own-adventure kind of games with a comedy twist, this game is for you.

Point-and-click adventure games are my old love. I've played plenty of them in my life, but I've never played a game like Fran Bow.

The mechanics are familiar to anyone who has ever played an old-school adventure game before, but the story and the characters are what make Fran Bow so unique.

The contrast between the fairy tale-like world created by a child's curious mind and the macabre reality of the events that transpire creates an experience that is hard to describe and even harder to forget.

If the story, the atmosphere, and the characters are the things that you value most in an adventure game, and you don't shy away from hard (and even disgusting) topics, then Fran Bow is definitely the game for you.

Who is Henry Stickmin? Is he a cunning thief, a ruthless leader of a criminal clan, a fearless bounty hunter, or even a secret agent employed by the government?

The answer is that he can be any of those things and more. It all depends on the choices you make in this game. And there are TONS of choices.

Filled to the brim with humor and cultural references, this game collection takes you on a fun trip with Henry and the gang as the protagonists and you, the player, as the director.

The Devcats games seem to get better and better. And a Castle Full of Cats is their best one so far.

This is a great hidden object game with some challenges and lots of cute cats.

If you're still not convinced, the developers support animal shelters and promote cat adoption.

I don't really know how to explain what this game is about or how I feel about it.

I guess you could say that it is more of a virtual experience than a proper game. But, then again, what is the purpose of this experience? Does it even have one? Honestly, I have no idea.

Anyway, it takes about half an hour to complete, so you better try it and judge for yourselves.
