Sam and Max Save the World Remastered (PS4) Review
Sam and Max Save the World Remastered has been around for a while, but finally gets it’s release on PlayStation systems, where it has been the standard episodic version for a while. Boasting improved widescreen visuals and new music, this is the definitive way to play the game, although there’s not much in the way of replay value, as is normal for adventure-style games.
Sam and Max Beyond Time and Space Remastered (PS4) Review

Lamplight City (Switch) Review
Lamplight City is a point and click style mystery where you play as a detective out to discover his partner’s killer. The big twist is that cases can be truly failed, with no “game over” instance, which can drastically change the outcome of the case.
Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet (Switch) Review
Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet is a wonderful point’n’click adventure game with smooth controls that take full advantage of the Switch’s capabilities. The only downside is that it’s a port of a much cheaper mobile game, and it’s up to you to see if the price increase is worth the port of entry. Either way, the story is heartwarmingly fun and a great time all around.
Trüberbrook (Switch) Review
Trüberbrook is a unique point and click style story with a unique art twist: each background was modeled in the real world and photographed, giving each scene a storybox motif. The sci-fi story in 1960’s Germany is unique, but simple, as are the puzzles you find. The beautiful scenery and light gameplay might be just what you want for a relaxing game and interesting storyline.
The Raven Remastered (Switch) Review
The Raven: Remastered is a Switch port of a PS4 remaster of a PS3 episodic title itself originally released on Steam. The developers are rereleasing it to a new audience. Unfortunately, it is simply a port with no new bells or whistles. While it is a base port, the transformative nature of the Switch makes it the best way you can get into the game.
The Inner World (Switch) Review
A modern classic in the point and click genre comes to the Nintendo Switch. The Inner World holds all it’s charm and wondrous puzzle solving, but hits some rough spots in terms of interface. Ryan Johnson at The Gamer’s Lounge reviews, with a review of The Wind Monk coming soon, the sequel released on the same day, coming soon.
Primordia (iOS) Review
Primordia is a 2012 PC point and click game from some of the modern masters of the genre. While an easy purchase for fans of sci fi or the P&C genre, the translation to iOS and touchscreens in general leave some to be desired. Ryan Johnson at The Gamer's Lounge was able to put Primordia (iOS) through it's paces, and comes back with his opinions.
Technobabylon Review
Technobabylon is a recently released cyberpunk point'n'click adventure that looks at what could happen if the convenience of the Internet became easier to handle than the real world. In a future where cyber crimes can reach mind invasion and even murder, the gripping storyline will keep you following along through to the end. Ryan Johnson at The Gamer's Lounge was able to give it a test drive, and brings you his opinions.
