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.

Dawnbringer
June 15, 2016
RPG, Fantasy, Action RPG, Singleplayer.
A free-to-play mobile action RPG with microtransactions, developed by Kiloo Games. The game is set in Mournguard - a gloomy fantasy world overrun by demons a long time ago. The player assumes the role of a heavenly warrior, who loses his powers and enters the world abandoned by the mortals after being banished from his kingdom. The protagonist's goal is to initiate an apocalyptic cataclysm that will purify the land of all the evil and darkness. However, the protagonist's own brother allied himself with the demons and tries to prevent the delivery of this plan. The game is a typical representative of the genre, thus the player explores an open world, completes quests, gathers items, develops the character and fights enemies. Combat here is based on the idea of one on one duels, during which the player does not have any direct control over the protagonist. Instead, attacking (melee), blocking enemy strikes, dodging them and casting spells is all done by executing the right gestures on the screen.

Super Night Riders
February 22, 2016
Racing, Arcade Elements, Indie Games, Motorbike, Singleplayer.
An arcade racing game inspired by the classics from the turn of 1980s and 1990s, as well as the improved version of Night Riders, which was released e.g. for mobile devices and PlayStation Vita portable console. We play as a gifted motorcyclist named Alice, known under her nickname as the “Red biker”. Aside from that, game offers no classic plot, focusing on motorcycling challenges. In terms of gameplay. Super Night Riders combines features of typical racing games with those of casual productions from the endless runner genre. Our position at the finish does not matter – we have to proceed as far as possible, avoiding bikes of our rivals. The only other requirement is to reach checkpoints before we run out of time. To diversify the game, we are offered six different tracks, divided into 36 special stages. Super Night Riders is powered by the Unity engine and stands out with its simplified three-dimensional visuals.

Aside from the multiplayer mode, and a classic arcade mode, the game offers a story campaign for a single player, which takes us to a fictional world of futuristic racing, outlining the history, beginnings, and the purpose of organizing the races in which we participate.
