Hearthstone: Knights of the Frozen Throne is the sixth expansion for the free-to-play card game Hearthstone. It was developed by Blizzard Entertainment and can be bought through the game’s store for either real or in-game currency. This expansion focuses on Lich King’s army and his kingdom of Northrend. Just like the Whispers of the Old Gods DLC, Knights of the Frozen Throne tells an alternate version of the well-known events. This time we will see what would have happened if the greatest heroes of Azeroth (Jauna Proudmoore, Rexxar, and others) became Death Knights, the undead servants of the Lich King. Knights of the Frozen Throne continues Blizzard’s policy of not releasing small Adventure DLCs and focusing on bigger ones. We get a set of 135 cards inspired by the Lich King’s army and the theme of death, including nine cards of a completely new type – Hero Cards. After using them, our hero changes into a Death Knight, gets a new portrait, war cry, ability, and a few points of armor which allows us to change our play style. We can test the new cards in PvP matches or in the single player campaign, during which we will be able to face the Lich King himself. The expansion also introduces a new battlefield and card backs.

A cooperation-based action game set in a post-apocalyptic steampunk world. The players assume the roles of crew members aboard combat airships and fight for survival during air battles. The creators of the game, the American studio Muse Games, had planned to release Alliance as a DLC expansion for their previous game - Guns of Icarus: Online. Over time however, Alliance became a full-fledged game which adds to the concept of its PvP-focused predecessor through implementing PvE contents, including cooperation-based missions and seasonal faction wars. In the co-op missions, the players assemble into 4-member crews comprising representatives of 3 classes: the Pilot, the Gunner, and the Engineer; then they complete various objectives and battle the AI-controlled airships of the enemy. Completing a mission affects the power of the faction the crew represents. One's faction fights other parties for domination over the world. On the world map, the factions fight seasonal wars - those are divided into two stages: the struggle for control over resources, and the actual wars fought by factions linked together into alliances by the developers. Great events and special achievements of particular players can become part of the game's story, which is being written by the creators.

During the game the player is slowly improving his unit by upgrading its statistics and by unlocking better functions. The controls and aiming are action-focused and the battles are very fast-paced. There are bases of both sides on the map – destroying opponent’s command center is one of the ways for achieving victory. Another way is to take over all control points. There are radar stations on the battlefields, conquering them enables the player to check enemy movement. There are research structures as well - they enable the player to upgrade their tank faster.

Yono and the Celestial Elephants
October 30, 2020, End of Life
Adventure, Puzzle Elements, RPG Elements, Fantasy, Indie Games, Platformers, Action Adventure, Singleplayer.
Yono and the Celestial Elephants is a colorful, charming adventure game with a fairy-tale-like style. It was developed by Neckbolt Games. The player assumes the role of a young elephant who – similarly to other elephants in this world – is a defender of the world. When controlling the protagonist, the player travels through various locations, solves riddles and fights. The first of the mentioned activities is the most important aspect of the game. The player has access to four cities filled with non-playable characters and side quests, and three dungeons filled with riddles and unique bosses. Unraveling the secrets enables the player to discover the history of the game world. Conversations with the inhabitants of this world are filled with philosophy, aesthetics and political topics – this is rather unusual in adventure games. Yono and the Celestial Elephants features nice looking, hand-drawn graphics. The title lacks any multiplayer modes.

Success guarantees not only the right rhymes, but also enriching the tracks with the right emotional charge, fitting in with the weakness of a particular opponent. Behind the creation of this position are the bands NanaOn-Sha (PaRappa The Rapper) and iNiS (Gitaroo Man).

October 30, 2020, End of Life
Action, FPP, FPS, Internet, LAN, Multiplayer.
The third installment in a series of paintball games developed by XField Paintball SAS and advertised as the official video game devoted to that popular activity. The game was created in cooperation with professional paintballers and video-gamers themselves. XField Paintball 3 gives us an opportunity to take part in multiplayer competitions based on the official rules of paintball. The game is played from the first-person view and the experience combines elements of tactical shooters and sports games together. Two teams of up to 5 players each participate in a match; the goal is to take control of the entire territory with minimal losses. Developing an adequate strategy and coordinating the team's efforts constitute the key to success here, and the latter of these lies in the captain's hands. The remaining players take the roles of the so-called Rushers, Shooters or Tacticians. XField Paintball 3 comes with relatively average-looking visuals, rather poor in detail.

Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow
October 30, 2020, End of Life
Strategy, Economic, Humorous, Science Fiction, Animated TV Series, Singleplayer.
Co-developed by Jam City, together with David X. Cohen and Matt Groening – the authors of the original animation, an adaptation of the popular adult cartoon series called Futurama. The player takes the role of Philip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy from New York, who accidentally gets frozen in a cryogenic chamber and wakes up a thousand years later. The backbone of Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow is the development of futuristic New York, which involves gathering resources, erecting buildings, and managing finances. Exploring the galaxy and its planets on the deck of a spaceship plays also an important role. Both of these feature enemies – space battles look like classic shooters, while combat on the surface of a planet is turn-based. The title stars the characters from the cartoon – you collect them and upgrade by improving their statistics and unlocking new skills.

Culdcept Revolt is a turn-based RPG developed by Omiya Soft, which uses elements of card and board games and was released as part of celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Culdcept series. The game takes us to a fantasy world where we play as a boy named Allen. He's a recruit in the Rebel Army that fights to put an end to the tyrannical rule of Count Kraniss. As we play, we take part in turn-based battles that take place on grid-covered maps. Our goal in each fight is to get as much points as possible. They are given to us for taking control over new sectors of the map. A throw of dice decides how far we can move during our turn. If we encounter an enemy while making our move, a battle begins, during which we use monster and spell cards. We learn the game's story through visual novel-like cut-scenes. Culdcept Revolt offers a local and online multiplayer for up to four players.
TrackMania 2: Lagoon
October 30, 2020, End of Life
Racing, Arcade Elements, Internet, Multiplayer, Singleplayer.
Trackmania 2: Lagoon is the fourth Trackmania 2 game, the most popular installment of the series created and developed by the French studio Nadeo. In terms of mechanics, the game uses the same system we know from the previous installments in the series. We race against other drivers on uncommon and crazy race tracks. Though the overall premise of the game did not change, it has a rather different climate, literally. Trackmania 2: Lagoon gives us access to sixty five tropical race tracks that are the revamped version of the archipelago that was available in 2016 Trackmania Turbo. Single player is still the fundamental game mode here, but Lagoon also offers a multiplayer mode with six different game modes available. The game comes with a level editor.
