From IGN's Review: "Tales from the Borderlands Episode 5: The Vault of the Traveler finishes off Rhys and Fiona’s journey in impeccable fashion. From heartbreak to hilarity, it runs the gamut of emotions in some really effective ways. All of the questions and mysteries from the previous four episodes pay off in wonderful fashion, while Episode 5 simultaneously introduces a slew of new, intriguing possibilities for the future of the world. I’m bummed to say goodbye to Telltale’s adventure on Pandora, but I'll be damned if it wasn’t one hell of a ride."

From IGN's Review: "Broken Age: Act 2 wraps up Shay and Vella’s story in great fashion. The jokes are punchy, the twists are rewarding, and most of the puzzles are satisfying in a special way. While I wish that Double Fine kept taking me to new and surprising settings, Act 2 makes the absolute most of each screen of its world. It’s an adventure that I loved seeing through to the end."

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture

Loading

From IGN's Review:"Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture excels at building a dense world, evocative tone, and rich cast of characters. Its five hours are filled with some really great exploration, discovery, and memorable moments. Piecing together its web of heartbreak, loss, and ultimate revelation provides a great experience. Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture rewarded my patience with a fulfilling journey."

Game of Thrones

Loading

From IGN's Review: "Tough decisions, well-acted original characters in interesting situations, and a strong, provocative ending kick off Telltale’s new Game of Thrones series in a great way. Its nature as a side-story to the HBO show means we won’t get to decide the fate of Westeros, but this introduction is convincing evidence that the future of House Forrester puts enough at stake to make choices matter."

Her Story

Loading

From IGN's Review: "Despite it being born from originality, I hope other developers copy Her Story’s blueprint. Not the exact story, of course, but the idea that people who play games are smart, and can take on tough, intellectual work if you give them a story worth working for. With a strong script, great use of FMV, and a simple yet empowering core game mechanic, Her Story is the most unique game I’ve played in years."

Sunset

From IGN's Review: "Sunset is a meditative and ultimately quite beautiful experience in a world of civil unrest. Though its rigid mechanics occasionally disrupts the flow of the story, this is a rewarding game to be slowly savoured."

The Beginner's Guide

Loading

From IGN's Review: "The Beginner’s Guide poses a number of academic questions around the nature of choice, interactivity, and creativity. While it offers no firm answers, it’s one of the most thought-provoking and ultimately disarming interactive experiences I’ve had all year, and one I won’t easily shake off."
