It’s become easy to throw around the moniker “the best episode ever” for Telltale’s seasonal adventure games over the past few years. Outside of an exception or two, their work has seen a continuing string of improvements and quality through each of their titles. Between The Wolf Among Us‘ excellent approach to noir and The…
Videogames are an empowering media.

Rain’s concept is a splendid one. It follows a young boy and girl who suddenly find themselves turned invisible, unable to be seen except in the rain. The idea opens up a fair number of inventive opportunities. Except Rain fails to capitalize on them at every turn. Monotonous levels and repetitious puzzles make Rain a…
