[Browser] Zee and the Alien Machine (2011)

Pros:
- Nice drawings and animations
- Not so easy
- Different endings
Cons:
- Control should be quick and handy, but it's easy to misclick

[PC] AlternativA (2010)

Pros:
- Neat graphics
- An interesting, moody dystopia
Cons:
- Ugly cutscenes
- The main character looks handicapped
- Dubbing is below average
- The humor present at parts doesn't fit at all with the general mood
- Puzzles are too immediate
- Death is very annoying and totally useless
- Art is sometimes ruined by a bad framing choice
- The plot is not totally clear and not fully explained in the end
- Some bugs

[PC] Digital: A Love Story (2010)

Pros:
- Very innovative
- Incredibly immersive
- The story runs smoothly and manages to surprise despite the (intentionally so) obsolete interface
Cons:
- Messages are received only upon (any) user action
- Full-screen mode would have been nice for a total immersion

[PC] Mystery Case Files: 13th Skull (2010)

Pros:
- Puzzles are well integrated and of average difficulty, making for a pretty casual long game (around 10-11 hours)
- Many human characters to interact with
- Excellent art and production (as always), with human actors well integrated into the environment
- Engaging mystery
Cons:
- The game tells you what needs to be done
- A handful of hints and objects are useless as they refer to the Collector's Edition
- Acting skills are sometimes dubious
- Dialogues are one-shot and there is not much of a choice
- A couple of ill-posed puzzles
- Many silly puzzles, e.g. dispose rubbish, make gumbo and look out for brushes and dusters for the housekeeper
- At times, the diary reveals facts that are still to be discovered

[PC] Death on Stage (2011)

Pros:
- Nice, consistent pixel art and animations
- Even if repetitive, the music fits well and is never boring
- Puzzles are simple yet fun
- A very good way to spend an hour
Cons:
- To stretch it a bit, some object interactions are missing
- It would have been nice to attend the final show

[PC] The Vacuum (2008)

Pros:
- Different endings which depend on both dialogue and action choices
- Reminds of 7 Days a Skeptic
- Very suggestive setting
- Control is quick and immediate
- Immersive
Cons:
- Foul-mouthed with no reason, irony is out of place
- Key animations are missing, even just a hint at an animation would have probably sufficed
- No music whatsoever
- Just a few puzzles, you just move back and forth following events
- Some glitches in the character movements
- Feels hurried. A much longer and deeper adventure could have been possible with just those locations and characters
