Short, slow and memorable; Gone Home is somewhat overhyped, but important and well designed regardless. Best to go in absolutely blind.
A tense 2D puzzle platformer with a gorgeous art style. LIMBO was one of the more inspirational indie games that changed the game at the time, and deserves a playthrough.
The very influential testbed for ‘The Telltale Way’. A wonderful example of storytelling in games and in retrospect, remarkably accomplished. Its characters, and decision making ensure its a classic.
The Wolf Among Us is the best of midterm Telltale. Dark, funny and at times very clever - it’s sad we’ll never see more of it.
Proof that graphical fidelity are not required to tell a good story and have engaging characters. Good platforming puzzles too.
A short, tragic, passionate and engaging masterpiece. The wartime stories are told eloquently and respectfully. Don’t be surprised if it hits you in hard in the feels.
