The new version doesn’t change the mechanics of the game – as always, we assume the role of a ninja that traverses dangerous levels, trying to reach the exit and gather as many coins as possible in the process. Our character doesn’t have a weapon – their only way to get away safely is to avoid the dangers along the way. In order to do so, we need to mix our impressive mobility and elements of the environment to perform spectacular acrobatics that shorten the time needed to complete the level. Compared with its predecessor, N++ introduces new content (e.g. new levels and enemies) and some fixes to selected elements of the game, including new multiplayer modes and options for the level editor.

In contrast to the first installment, in which we played as a female badger, Shelter 2 gives us an opportunity to play as a pregnant female lynx. The game recreates the life of the species in its natural habitat. During the gameplay, the player has to ensure adequate conditions for the development of their offspring. One has to find a den, gather food and protect the offspring against natural threats. The gameplay is more complex this time, because different new elements were introduced, such as the stamina meter. Since the traits possessed by a lynx are different to those of a badgers, the gameplay mechanics are slightly different. Similarly to the first game, Shelter 2 greatly emphasizes the survival aspects and the bonds between the lynx and its offspring. The original "patchwork" graphics, based on somewhat old-fashioned vector models, were not changed.

Halo: Spartan Strike is an isometric sequel to Halo: Spartan Assault, a mobile/PC spin-off of the legendary FPS series. The game was created by two studios, 343 Industries and Vanguard Games, and takes place at the same time as Halo 2. Once again, we play as Spartan Davis, who, leading 30 UNSC units, explores 30 diversified levels and faces hordes of space invaders. We will use all kinds of weapons and special abilities characteristic to the series. Spartan Strike features slightly improved visuals and modified controls. Additionally, the Windows 8 version of the game was included with Halo: Master Chief Collection, just like Spartan Assault. This allows us to unlock additional content for the multiplayer.

Ego Protocol is a logic/arcade game developed by the Polish studio Static Dreams. The game won The Jam competition organized by the 1ndieWorld website, where competitors had to create a game in the spirit of the classic Polish platformer Electro Body. In Ego Protocol we have to manipulate the game's environment in order for our hero to reach his destination and avoid all sorts of dangers that await him. Each of the forty five game levels is made of a dozen or so square blocks which we can move around in order to create a path to the portal for our character. In addition to our impact on the game's environment, we can give our hero simple orders to make him avoid the traps or deal with the enemies. Gameplay is fast-paced and relies heavily on the player's reflexes. The game has simple 2D visuals full of gloomy colors.

Refreshed version of the tactical strategy of 2011, in which we lead an army of rebels who want to crack down on the governments of a powerful corporation. The game takes place in a synchronous turn-based system, where players make their moves at the same time. Compared to the original version, virtually all of the mechanics and bindings of the game were created anew to make it even more tactical and visually attractive.

Chainsaw Warroior: Lords of the Night is a sequel to the 1987 digital adaptation of a Games Workshop tabletop game. The game takes place in New York that was overrun by monsters from the dark dimension. We play as a ranger equipped with a powerful chainsaw who tries to find and destroy a hidden portal in order to stop the invasion. As we start the game, we create our own character and choose the necessary equipment. We move around the New York uncovering the event cards and making the appropriate decisions. The outcome is based on the result of a throw of dices. The outcome of events is completely random. The cards may contain not only useful items, but also dangerous traps or monsters. The passing of time is our greatest enemy here. We only have one hour to destroy the portal. New version of Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of the Night adds three new locations where we will face new types of enemies and mini-bosses.

And oldschool sandbox space strategy game with simulation and role-playing elements by Cold Rice Games. You play as a spaceship captain, and your task is to manage it while exploring remote planets. You have to e.g. recruit your crew and appoint them to their respective positions, all the while managing the ship's equipment and finances. During the game you go through many adventures, participate in trade and establish diplomatic relations, as well as fight various enemies. Thanks to the combination of many genres, Interstellaria is a very expansive game, which also makes it very difficult. The production combines the oldschool visuals and audio layer with more modern elements (such as sandbox elements) and is a kind of tribute for classic productions of the 1980s and 1990s, absorbing mostly due to their complex and interesting gameplay.

An unusual economic strategy game developed by Manavoid Entertainment. The player takes control of a talent agency which recruits promising characters and trains them to become self-reliant adventurers in a fantasy world consisting of over a hundred locations. The process of creating a hero begins by scouting for volunteers. Then, we finance and engage in training of our star, buying their equipment. After an extended preparatory period, we send the groomed talent on various missions, from simple assignments to complicated and time-consuming quests. Most of the tasks involve fighting against various opponents. Combat takes place in real time and is mostly automated, with the exception of special attacks, which are executed by the player. To be sure of the victory, our hero has to field better statistics and equipment. Each guild member can represent one of sixteen professions or become a hybrid of two chosen classes. However, be warned: the defeated party members die permanently, forcing us to consider every move, as the successes of each hero are the base of our revenue.
