Yeah, there are a couple that intrigue me from that list, Alrik, thanks for sharing!
Syberia: The World Before at last gets a March release date
Step aside, February, it looks like March is aiming to be another big gaming month. Other than The Settlers, Shadow Warrior 3, and the Ghostrunner DLC, now we have Syberia gearing up to release in less than two months. Publisher Microids announced today that Syberia: The World Before, which got delayed late last year, has found a release date for March 18.
Originally scheduled for December, but the developer desired some more time for spit and polish. In a message, Microids wrote that it wanted to “make sure [the game] does fans right.†It was a noteworthy statement, as Syberia games had fallen off in quality since the second game. We last explored the world as Kate Walker in 2017’s Syberia 3, and fans weren’t enthused. The developer has a lot to prove with Syberia: The World Before, so I doubt anyone was against it taking the extra time. So far, Microids and developer Koalabs are keen on putting Syberia back on track.

Martha is Dead meets every expectation and exceeds most of them. It is a true ghost story, perfectly designed to demand you keep playing while making you want to stop. Its near-flawless design sets a new benchmark in the quietly, weirdly, horrible.
Pros
Cons
- Brave, dark story
- Incredible audio design
- Fantastic world design
- Engrossing photography
- Superb acting
- Truly unnerving horror
- Sometimes instructions are confusing
- The ghost lady could be more scary
Martha Is Dead offers a narrative that’s provocative, intense, dark, and emotional. And yes, it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s plenty gory. Given that it takes place during WWII the story doesn’t seem out of place either. It pulls you in right away, keeps its intensity and pace, and holds your attention until the very end. The sound and graphical design really fit with the overall vibe and atmosphere of the game. Sure, it’s not perfect, but most of the issues aren’t game breaking. Martha Is Dead is riveting and if you’re a fan of psychological thrillers you won’t want to miss it.
The Good
The Bad
- Incredibly detailed
- Solid narrative from beginning to end
- Sound design is fantastic
- Bugs & glitches
- Hints not disappearing
- Puzzles a little too easy

Return to Monkey Island | Coming 2022
Not too keen on the graphic style, but on the other hand I haven't been since Curse of Monkey Island. Either way, I'm looking forward to it!
Nice, but they should make it so it scrolls continuously, instead of only scrolling to the next area when the main character enters it. That particular limitation was very frustrating.I justnoticed that
Twinsen's Little Big Adventure Remastered
is being published "soon".
Well, that was a nice little game ! Although quite hard, too.
From what I saw in the the footage below, it does scroll continuously, yay!I have no idea how that Remaster will look like. The steampage shows only screenshots, plus an animated one.
I understand your point, though.
