Unavowed is a bit dark and includes some crude imagery and language, and there are a lot of “shades of gray” versus obvious black and white / good versus evil interactions. Is it worth finding your way through this retro adventure/puzzle game from Wadjet Eye?

When I first took this review, all I knew was the title: Rip Them Off. I wondered what it would really be about; surely, it wouldn’t be as obvious as it seems. Well, it is that obvious. It’s also a good, unique tower defense game with a comically cynical viewpoint.

Faircroft’s Antiques: Home for Christmas Collector’s Edition is a hidden-objects game with a Christmas theme. Even if it isn’t actually Christmas time, we can all use a little more of the Christmas spirit these days.
