Football Manager Mobile 2016
November 18, 2015
Sports, Manager, Football Manager, Football, Singleplayer.
Another mobile edition of one of the most popular football management simulators series developed by Sports Interactive. Compared to the full-fledged installments in the franchise, Football Manager Mobile 2016 offers somewhat simplified gameplay, although it has many more features than Football Manager Touch 2016, also for mobile devices, which was released simultaneously. The trade-off is that the database is limited to the 14 most important world leagues. The gameplay itself does not deviate from the standard solutions of the series – in the game, we have to select a proper squad for each match, decide on player transfers, set training plans, as well as take care of the club’s budget and our employees’ and supporters’ satisfaction. Compared to its predecessors, the production was enriched with a number of novelties and enhancements, particularly an improved interface, new tactical instructions, and an extensive training module.

Racing, Internet, Motocross, Motorbike, Multiplayer, PlayStation VR, Splitscreen, Singleplayer, VR.
A racing game created by Artefacts Studio. It is the fourth full-fledged installment in a popular series developed by Delphine Software in the years 1997-2001. Moto Racer 4 remains faithful to the premise of the classic installments, focusing on a dynamic racing experience with arcade physics and paying no attention to the so-called fair-play. The player participates in subsequent motorcycle competitions divided into off-road and asphalt variants. In the latter, aspects such as traffic or collisions with opponents were taken into account. Within these two divisions, the player will find a wide set of characters - each represents a unique riding style. The game offers more than a few different modes and the overall number of them is quite impressive. The game includes many bike models created specifically for particular competitions: from classic cross bikes to high-power beasts belonging to the superbike category. What's more, the game features an extensive customization component - both the bikes and riders can be customized.

Empathy: Path of Whispers
May 16, 2016
Adventure, FPP, Indie Games, Action Adventure, Singleplayer, Surrealism.
A somewhat surrealistic FPP adventure game and a debut of Pixel Night studios, focusing on exploration and plot. The story of Empathy takes place in a collapsing world, where the few remaining cities were reduced to shelters for small human populations, and where life seems to be dying out. We explore the setting through the eyes of a child led by a mysterious spirit on their journey to return the order to this world. The protagonist will come across memories and feelings of the people of the past, which we must experience to solve puzzles and find the reason behind the calamity. What stands out the most in the game is its storytelling. We can play as any person whose memory we find, which lets us discover things we would miss otherwise. This creates a unique atmosphere, enhanced by suggestive visuals that were created with Unreal Engine 4.

July 14, 2015
RPG, 2D, Dungeon Crawler, Indie Games, Card Games, Singleplayer, Turn-based.
A unique combination of a card game and a simple RPG created by Irish one-man studio Gambrinous. In Guild of Dungeoneering you play as a leader of a run-down adventurers' guild, and your task is to gain glory, gather riches, and take the competition down a peg. The gameplay is focused mostly on developing your guild's headquarters, adding new rooms and unlocking new character classes, equipment and magical items. In order to get money to spend on all of that, you have to send your heroes to do various quests in the dungeons. However, instead of controlling your hero, you build a labyrinth out of cards around them, and the hero moves in it as they please. The gameplay is divided into turns, during which you select dungeon and enemy cards. In case of encountering an opponent, combat begins and its result depends on both your hero's stats and the attack cards you play with.

Wild Wastes
cancelled
Action, 2D, Internet, Multiplayer, Roguelike, Singleplayer, Survival, Top-down.
A survival-action game mixed with rougelike elements, developed by Everplay Interactive. The action of Wild Wastes takes place in modern times, in a small American town called Earlsboro, infested with bandits, aliens, and other bloodthirsty monsters known as negatives. Our task is to stay alive for a week. The action is seen from a top-down camera view, while the combat system, heavily inspired by old-school shooters, is rather arcade in nature. Aside from combat, we spend a huge chunk of our time on the search for food and shelter, or gathering valuable items and resources that can be used to craft the necessary equipment. The game is characteristic for its locations and placement of enemies or items, which are randomly generated at the beginning of every playthrough. Every survived week unlocks access to new characters and items.
Hyperdimension Neptunia Hypercollection
April 3, 2015
RPG, Fantasy, Humorous, jRPG, Package, Science Fiction, Singleplayer, TPP, Turn-based, PlayStation Exclusive.
A collection of the first three installments of the parodistic jRPG series Hyperdimension Neptunia. Interestingly, the characters from this franchise personify consoles and Japanese game developers. It is worth noticing, that the collection includes the original versions of the said three episodes, instead of the improved and extended Re;Birth editions. A vigorous girl by the name of Neptune is the protagonist of the first installment; she is an embodiment of a console that bore the codename "Neptune" and was supposed to be released by SEGA, but it never happened. Similar to her friend Noire (PlayStation 3), Blanc (Wii) and Vert (Xbox 360), she rules her own country and serves the role of its guardian. However, the nations face a threat posed by a dangerous organization that spreads piracy and wishes to bring the female rulers to their knees. Similarly, both the follow-ups present a satire on the further developments in the conflicts between the fans of particular consoles, and the war on piracy.

Arcade, Experimental/artistic, RPG Elements, Indie Games, Action Adventure, Singleplayer.
A sequel to the original production by Shiro Games, which is a kind of sentimental journey through the history of video games. The story of Evoland II is based on the popular time travel trope, and you play as a multitude of varied characters, each of them having their own history and motivation, as well as unique playstyle. Like its predecessor, it is a role-playing game, although it also combines many other other genres, such as classic fighting games, logic puzzle games, adventure games, dynamic platform games, action games, and typical shooter games. Evoland II also continues the tradition of matching the visual style to the genre, which means you can visit both simple 2D locations and detailed 3D environments. The game constitutes the creators' tribute to many popular productions and genres.

Toro
May 15, 2015
Sports, Singleplayer, Animals.
A simulation game from the Spanish studio RECO Technology, focusing on the world-famous bullfighting, rooted deeply in Spanish culture, but also causing huge controversies around the world. We start as a novice torero and try to become a prominent figure on the arena. To achieve this, we must climb up the ladder by taking part in more and more prestigious contests. Gameplay is based on the aforementioned bullfights, which mostly come down to repeating the same gestures to draw animal’s attention. Sometimes a bull will get the better of the protagonist, forcing the player to deal with a QTE sequence in order to minimize the damage from mauling. Quick reactions are crucial for getting through the game. Three-dimensional visuals of Toro are rather poor, due to it being a low budget project.
