St. George’s Games:
Reviews of Story-Driven Video Games in
Chronological Order
The table below contains a full list, in
rough chronological order, of all the story-driven videogames currently
reviewed in the latest version of the St. George’s Games Review project as well
as in the SubStack blog "Only Solitaire / St. George’s Games Herald". Links lead to HTML or PDF versions of the reviews (I recommend
the PDF format unless you somehow do not have a PDF reader in your browser).
Ratings
(only present in this table, not included in the reviews themselves) are given
in order to indicate my personal preferences and opinions: 1 or more (up to 3) hearts indicate general quality and enjoyability, 1 or more (up to 3) spades indicate general awfulness, and
a special star may
be awarded for special historical importance and innovation.
