Adventure/Point-and-Click

Day of the Tentacle Remastered

Release date: March

This classic point-and-click adventure game from LucasArts is making a comeback in the form of Day of the Tentacle Remastered. So what’s it about, besides vastly improved visuals? Basically, a sentient purple tentacle mutates into a villainous genius bent on world domination. Three unlikely heroes – a gangly nerd, a deranged medical student, and a heavy metal roadie – must work together to stop him. Involves time travel, a maniac mansion, a skeleton that doesn’t talk back when spoken to, and lots and lots of quirky, unforgettable humor.

Jenny LeClue

Release date: Q1

Featuring beautiful hand-drawn aesthetics, Jenny LeClue is about the eponymous girl detective and her efforts to clear her mother of the crime of murder. The gameplay features plenty of interactive items, an abundance of dialogue options, and choices that can drastically alter the flow of the story.

Full Throttle

Release date: To be announced

Another beloved LucasArts adventure game gets the HD remaster treatment: Full Throttle. You play a biker gang leader named Ben, who finds himself caught in a web of conspiracy orchestrated by business Mogul Adrian Ripburger – who is voiced by the excellent Mark Hamill, no less! The puzzles are brain-twisting, the story is outstanding, and of course, you’ll get to ride some sweet, sweet bikes!

Obduction

Release date: To be announced

Obudction takes inspiration from classic adventure games Myst and Riven. As such, look forward to lots of clever puzzles, an intriguing environment shrouded in mystery, and a story that will captivate as well as mystify.

Samorost 3

Release date: To be announced

A mesmerizingly pretty sci-fi adventure taking place on several planets populated by weird creatures. Expect startling encounters and a story you won’t forget.

Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter

Release date: To be announced

Solve baffling mysteries as the master detective himself in the latest installment of the award-winning Sherlock Holmes series.

Thimbleweed Park

Release date: To be announced

From the creators of classic games Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion is Thimbleweed Park, a gloriously retro point-and-click adventure involving two detectives attempting to solve a ghastly murder.

Interactive Drama

Batman: A Telltale Games Series

Release date: To be announced

We know next to nothing about this one. But hey, it’s Telltales. And it’s Batman, so maybe we’ll get to break the Joker’s teeth or flirt with Catwoman. We can be sure of one thing, though: it’ll be a great point-and-click, choose-your-own-adventure-style game!

Game of Thrones: Season 2

Release date: To be announced

Who doesn’t love Game of Thrones? If this game is anything like the first season, Telltales’ Game of Thrones: Season 2 will deliver more backstabbing, shady political maneuverings, dragons, over-the-top violence, unchivalrous knights, deliciously evil villains, and witty quips from everyone’s favorite dwarf.

The Walking Dead: Michonne

Release date: To be announced

Telltales Games’ The Walking Dead series made us cry bucketfuls with the heartbreaking stories of Lee and the young Clementine. The Walking Dead: Michonne will move away from those characters, and instead will focus on the sword-wielding badass from the comic books. Specifically, it will tell us why she left and returned to Rick Grime’s group. Expect the same point-and-click adventure goodness and difficult choices as its predecessors – only with more swords and more decapitated zombies!
