As the sport grew more and more popular the number of modifications in racing cars constantly increased, which translated into significantly better performance for the price of taking incredible risks. In the wake of numerous unsuccessful attempts to eradicate the brutal sport, the authorities eventually admitted their defeat and accepted it as an official sports discipline along with its TV broadcasts. The rules are incredibly simple: the players’ task is to reach the finish line as quickly as possible and preferably in one piece. What differentiates GRIP from traditional racing games is the unique construction of the cars that allows them to drive on nearly all surfaces, including ceilings.

Action, Crafting, RPG Elements, Fantasy, Indie Games, Internet, Co-op, MMO, Sandbox, Survival, TPP.
Tree of Life is a survival MMO developed by the Korean studio OddOneGames. Despite being set in a fantasy world, the game in topic has the same simple rules as others of the genre. Players are taken to a vast, open world where they have only one goal - survival. To do so, they hunt and gather resources in order to build bases and fortresses that make it easier to defend themselves against other players and AI-controlled monsters. Each available hero has their own unique combination of abilities, but the game lacks any sort of class division among characters, the players simply create their own professions. The developers decided not to include any typical dungeons, raids, or quests known from other MMO games in Tree of Life. Instead, the interactions between the players were their main focus. Players can create guilds, trade, or attack each other.

Yomawari: Night Alone
October 29, 2015
Adventure, Horror, Singleplayer, Stealth, Survival Horror, Isometric View.
A cartoonish survival horror stealth game with an isometric view. The production was developed by Japanese studio Nippon Ichi Software, known mostly for the Disgaea series. In Yomawari: Night Alone you play as a little girl, who embarks on a search for her missing sister and dog, on her own, after dark. It quickly turns out that the town streets are full of wraiths, from which the girl has to hide. To survive, you have to sneak past the ghosts, divert their attention, and try to outsmart them. What warns you against the nearby threats is the visualization of the girl's heartbeat — the closer a ghost is, the faster your heart rate. The game also features logic puzzles. You should also gather coins, which you can use to buy favors from the local deities in temples. Despite the 2D visuals, resembling Japanese anime, they create a truly frightening atmosphere thanks to the subdued colors and the designs of the wraiths.

Goat Simulator: Waste of Space
May 26, 2016
Arcade, Simulation Elements, Humorous, Indie Games, Sandbox, Science Fiction, Singleplayer, TPP, Animals.
Another DLC for the crazy action game Goat Simulator released in 2014 by Coffee Stain. The Waste of Space expansion adds a completely new map to the game. The map is larger than anything that Goat Simulator and its expansions offered up until now. The new level consists of a large space area and of an alien planet with a colony on its surface. Typically for the Goat Simulator, there is no story per se. Instead, the game focuses on a typically sandbox gameplay model which is filled with absurd jokes and opportunities for having fun and engaging in combat. Chaos and destruction can be pursued not only on the surface of the planet and in space, but on space cruisers and space stations as well. The expansion also adds various futuristic technologies and a romance system which parodies the Mass Effect series.
