StickSkills said, "The past few years have seen a resurgence of adventure games, and one of the newer entries in this renaissance is Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller. Set to release in four episodes, the series will focus on high stakes crime investigations and Saw-esque murders. With a team that includes comic artist Romano Molenaar and game designer Jane Jensen, there’s enough talent for an amazing series. And while the premise is an interesting one, the game seems cluttered and often just plain boring. The first episode, titled The Hangman, falls short in more ways than one."

"The term ‘cerebral’ encapsulates the latest Bundle in a Box more aptly than I initially thought. Prior to the announcement of the games, I had assumed a puzzle-centric collection – one that would require the manipulation of increasingly complicated pipes, tiles and machinery in order to progress through a somewhat vague (if even present) narrative – but this bundle goes after far more than just the logic centres of your brain.
That’s right, the return of one of the cheaper bundles in gaming is back.This time around they have a pretty diverse lineup of odd looking little games for only $1.99.
