Featured review

Stormshot: Isle of Adventure

Puzzles and exploration across an uncharted island

4.8/5

Stormshot splits play into chapters: every area of the island introduces a set of logic puzzles and a short slice of story. Solutions rely on observation and sequencing rather than reaction speed.
