Quantum Replica is a cyberpunk stealth game with metroidvania elements developed by a small Colombian studio ON3D. The game is set in a distant future where people live in enormous metropolises and their lives are completely controlled by the government. Our protagonist is an exception of that rule. Not only he doesn’t remember who he actually is and what is he supposed to do, but he is also not registered, making him the most wanted person in the city. The only way to regain his memory and find his purpose is to deal with all adversities and get into the heart of the metropolis. Quantum Replica is a stealth game where action is presented from an isometric point of view. Unlike in other similar games, we do not use the game's environment to hide. Instead, we use our hero's time manipulation abilities. He can sneak unseen, move through walls, and catch enemies in ‘time bubbles’. As we progress, we gain access to more powerful abilities that come in handy when facing bosses.

An expanded edition of Emergency 5, a simulation strategy game by Sixteen Tons Entertainment. In the game, we assume control of specialized emergency services yet again, including the fire department, the police, ambulances, and technical services, and our task is to neutralize the effects of accidents, natural disasters, and other threats that happen in four German cities: Berlin, Cologne, Munich, and Hamburg. Compared to the basic version of the game, the gameplay mechanics remain the same. The main highlight of Emergency 2016 is the previously unavailable units and a completely new mini-campaign set in the 14th–century Cologne that tells of the struggle against the epidemic of the so-called Black Death. What’s interesting, in the further course of the game, the plague returns in modern times, and the player’s responsibility is to stop it from spreading. Apart from that, the game features a full set of campaigns and scenarios from the vanilla version but complemented with updates released after its launch.

An unusual combination of fantasy adventure and stealth games, developed by Frozenbyte, the creators of such series as Trine and Shadowgrounds. In the title, we assume the role of a seasoned killer, Shadwen, who is given the task of murdering a king. However, during the mission, the protagonist encounters an orphan named Lily, which significantly influences the gameplay mechanics—we have to decide whether or not to expose the child to the sight of blood or use alternative ways of eliminating enemies. The killer we control possesses considerable skills in terms of acrobatics, remaining hidden, and surprise attacks, although a direct confrontation usually gets her killed. The characteristic feature of Shadwen is the fact that time flows only when the protagonist moves. It allows us to plan our next move calmly and precisely as well as to prepare intricate traps with the use of a number of interactive objects.

A multiplayer-focused first-person shooter set during the World War 2, developed by British Bulkhead Interactive studio. The maps on which we play are inspired by real battlefields of the Great War, like the streets of Carentan or the forests near Bastogne. We play as an infantry soldier and take part in dynamic, purely arcade battles – though not without a good dose of realism, visible in e.g. faithfully recreated weapons. The game emphasizes players skills and lacks a character progression system typically present in other online titles, with our only reward for winning being only cosmetic additions. Battalion 1944 offers many classic game modes, like deathmatch, capture the flag, and their team variants.

Inspired by the famous novel by Lewis Carroll, Alice VR is set in a science-fiction world, where we play as a hero whose ship has been forced to land on an unknown planet. He finds out that all of its inhabitants have disappeared, and it is our task to discover the locals’ secrets and shape their future, not to mention solving some puzzles. The game is nonlinear, focusing on exploration and dealing with some puzzles, including riddles inspired by Alice in Wonderland which require us to enlarge and shrink our character. All of this varied by changing gravity, allowing us to move on walls and ceiling.

The first DLC for Fallout 4, Bethesda's action RPG that came out in November, 2015. The expansion introduces a new storyline connected to the mysterious Mechanist who unleashed an army or hostile robots, led by the cunning machines known as Robobrains, upon the Commonwealth. As one might guess, the player’s task is to deal with the new mechanical enemies whose appearance had also created an opportunity to expand on some of the gameplay mechanics. As we eliminate subsequent robots, we can salvage some parts of them, using them later on to construct and enhance our own mechanical henchmen who will accompany us while wandering the wasteland. The players can make use of a myriad of new components, including unique weapons and armor, that allow us to build robots that suit our needs and customize their appearances and even voice.

Mages of Mystralia is an action RPG developed by Borealys Games. The game takes place in a fantasy world where people with magical powers are feared and despised by those without them. Zia, the protagonist, learned it the hard way. After being banished from her home village, she embarks on a journey with a plan to train her magical powers and meet other people like her. We will explore the game's world, do various side and main quests, solve puzzles and riddles, and fight with the encountered enemies. Combat is dynamic and takes place in real time, so we will have to rely on our reflexes very often. As we play, we will collect special runes that unlock specific magical effects. We can freely combine them in order to create new spells. At the same time, we level up our hero. The game and its entire universe are the brainchild of Ed Greenwood who created Forgotten Realms, Dungeons & Dungeons' most popular world.

A survival-horror action adventure game and the debut production from NVYVE, a Canadian studio. The action takes place in the near future on an island that is almost completely occupied by a modern shopping and entertainment center called the Eden. In the game, we assume the role of a sole survivor of a plague of a mysterious virus that infected the island’s inhabitants and the protagonist's only ally is an AI named Pamela. The gameplay emphasizes the survival aspect — in the game, we have to constantly look for food, drink, and various useful items, as well as ensure that we get enough sleep. To fight mutants, we do not use classical armaments but a number of seemingly useless things which belonged to the Eden’s employees. The title’s highly original interface, designed as an integral part of the virtual world (for example, armbands that display the holograms of the equipment screen), deserves a praise.

An original mix of simulation and logic game from the British developer Spiderling, which lets players construct inventive siege weapons that will help them annihilate enemy troops and fortifications. The game puts you up against various challenges, starting with crushing ordinary civil buildings, to besieging heavily fortified strongholds defended by brave knights. In order to succeed you have to use the available parts to create a unique siege weapon able to crush your opponent’s resistance and resist enemy counter-attacks. Players’ creativeness is restrained by nothing; all it takes is a bit of imagination to go from constructing only standard medieval siege weapons, to flame throwers, tanks, simple flying machines, and anything in between. The game features full 3D graphics, and its relatively low system requirements were achieved by reducing the field of view to the nearest area.

Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival is firmly grounded is the traditional mechanics of the series, while at the same time introducing a range of necessary upgrades. It's still a dynamic football match simulation with high difficulty level. To make things even harder, the ball is no longer automatically led by the player—keeping it requires extra work now. However, it provides for greater freedom when it comes to passing the ball or precise striking. At the same time, Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival still features its oldschool vibe thanks to the top-down view of the pitch (although other views are available) and a specific visual style—which is, however, fully 3D and much more detailed than 30 years earlier.

The game is similar to other 2.5D platforming games – the only difference being that our protagonist doesn’t possess the ability to jump, which is one of the crucial elements in such a genre. During the game, Weldon can move freely around flat surfaces, but in order to jump and counter his opponents, he has to use his invaluable rocket launcher, using it to get a boost in the opposite direction – a technique known in popular online shooters such as Quake or Unreal Tournament as "rocket jump".
