Simulation, Machines and Equipment, Farm, Singleplayer.

Farming Simulator 17: Big Bud DLC is an expansion to Farming Simulator 17, developed by the creators of the original game, GIANTS Software. Big Bud DLC requires the base game to be playable. This add-on introduces new agricultural machines like the two enormous tractors: Big Bud 450 and even bigger Big Bud 747. The latter one, designed in 1977, is over eight meters long, six meters wide, weights more than fifty tons, and has over 900 horsepower. Unlike Big Bud 450, the 747 is no longer used and the only 747 tractor ever built is currently displayed at the Heartland museum. Due to their size and weight, both machines have a very different 'driving feel' than the ones from the base game. In addition to these two colossal machines, Big Bud DLC introduces a couple of other tractors, spreaders, and ploughs that we can use to make our job on the farm easier.

An adventure game with horror features, focused around exploration and with unusual visuals. The work of Introversion Software’s team delivered a title set in a system of underground caves and corridors, wrapped in utter darkness. With no flashlights or torches of any kind, we can only navigate using laser-scanning system LIDAR, which displays our surroundings as three-dimensional shapes formed by sparkling points. We do this by pointing a handheld laser – when the rays reflect from an obstacles, the system analyzes them, calculates their position and draws a shape of our surroundings. This image is displayed in a helmet worn by the protagonist. The system designed by developers has many functions that help us orient ourselves during exploration of caves. Those include: addition of color gradient in space depending on how far the points are from the player, the ability to change width of the scanning beam and map mode that shows every scanned and drawn corridor. The labyrinth explored by us hides many secrets, from common wonders of nature (like caves of stalactites and stalagmites) to ruined buildings of ancient cultists.

A combat simulator which places the player in control of a starfighter. Developed by an independent British team - Mad About Games Studios Ltd., the game was inspired by space simulators from the 90s. Starfighter Origins is set in a futuristic world, where humans explore space and pirates are waiting among asteroids for unarmed transport ships and other easy loot. The player assumes the role of a pilot working for the Colonial Defense Force - a law enforcement group that use various kinds of combat ships in order to maintain order in space. The player has six unique ships to fly in the game, including fast, reconnaissance units with powerful radars, classic fighters - they handle well and are well-armed, and heavily-armored support craft. Eliminating the enemies involves use of both rapid-fire cannons and auto-targeting missiles. When fighting, the player must pay attention to how much resources they have left - both fuel and ammunition, as not every mission gives an opportunity to re-fuel the ship and refill ammunition. The game delivers exclusively a single-player experience. The four modes available include the story campaign, the Simulation and the Challenge modes (a series of independent scenarios), and the Instant Action mode. The last of these requires the player to choose a difficulty level at the beginning; both the battlefield and type of enemies are assigned randomly.

An elaborate sailing simulator, developed by Orbcreation. The most prominent feature of the game is the realism – seas and oceans the players get to sail have been designed based on the real data regarding wind velocity and direction, water depth, wave height, and wave energy. The weather conditions featured by the game represent those from the real world. Moreover, the players can use the auto-sail option - as the boats sail with a realistic speed, it might take months to reach the destination. When players are away from the game, they are notified of the cruise’s progress via e-mail. The game also features certain MMO elements: players can invite other sailors to board their boats (the game offers such sailing units as the 38 feet long Cruiser, one-man Mini-Transat or a classic 52-feet long cruise yacht), and create groups to sail the seas and oceans in any formation. When doing so, the players can communicate with each other through the built-in chat. The entire experience features high-quality visuals – sudden changes of weather conditions and detailed water animations are bound to satisfy all sailing enthusiasts.

Brawl of Ages is a free-to-play strategy game that combines elements of card games, real-time strategies, and MOBAs. It was developed by BNA Studios. In Brawl of Ages, the players take part in 3-5 minutes long PvP duels where players send all kinds of monsters against each other in order to destroy the enemy player's base. We achieve victory by destroying our opponent's Throne, his main tower defended by two smaller watchtowers. In order to breach the enemy defenses, we have to use cards from the card deck we've prepared earlier. Playing a card may have various results. Usually it will summon a new unit to the battlefield, but it is possible to build an additional defensive or production structure, place a totem that will power up warriors in its range, or cast a destructive spell that will damage all nearby enemy units. We cannot manually control our units, they are controlled by a simple artificial intelligence, similar to those we can see in tower defense games. After being dropped on the map in a place of our choosing, our characters will automatically go in the direction of our enemy's fortifications and automatically attack hostile targets encountered along the way. We can play against our friends or randomly selected players.

Also, the AI poses a bigger challenge – from now on, our teammates are better at taking positions and defensive actions, while the AI players are more difficult to defeat. Moreover, NHL 18 introduces the 3 vs 3 mode with slightly different rules – with fewer players on the field, one has more space to execute maneuvers on the ice. The game also allows us to play more conventional modes, such as PvP and both local and online co-op.

Not only their names match, but also do details and the topography of the terrain. Although the original gameplay mechanics did not change – Running with Rifles: Pacific is still a top-down shooter with elements of tactics, such as commanding a squad or taking cover – the new setting provides quite a different experience.

The so-called Council system plays a crucial role in the game. The Council is made of characters we know from the comic books. Each of them is a skilled survivor, making them great leaders of mission squads. It is almost impossible to achieve victory by playing by ourselves.

Forge of Glory is a multiplayer-focused mobile action RPG developed by the Russian studio Kefir!. Story is not that important in Forge of Glory. The game takes us to a fantasy world where we can face either forces of evil or other players. We observe the action from an isometric point of view. During our adventures we explore more and more locations and fight with the encountered enemies, gradually leveling up our character. In time, we are joined by more powerful heroes and fantastic beasts. We can use their powers and abilities in combat. Combat system in Forge of Glory is based on the match-3 mechanics known from the many logical games. Battles take place on boards filled with crystals. We attack by making chains of at least three gems of the same color We can expand and improve our settlement between the battles and, in time, turn it into a real fortress.

Save Jesus is a 2D puzzle game inspired by the life of Jesus Christ, but telling a completely unknown, fantastic story. It was developed by Almighty Games. A crook from the future impersonates Ceasar and intends to use his power to kill Jesus and his friends. Our job is to prevent that from happening. Gameplay in Save Jesus focuses on manipulating the environmental elements in a way to change the course of a rolling rock aimed at Jesus and use it to kill roman soldiers instead. Maps are made of squares symbolizing patches of ground (we can remove them with a single click to create a path for the murderous rock) and are filled with moving elements (i.e. log) and other stuff, e.g. explosives. Even though Save Jesus is a low budget game, its rather simple visuals have no negative impact on its playability.

Strategy, Economic, Fantasy, Internet, Multiplayer, Science Fiction, Isometric View, Free-to-play.

An economic strategy game developed by Machine Zone. The game takes place in Eos – a fantasy world created for the 2016 game Final Fantasy XV. The plot is of little importance in this title, giving way to the online gameplay, which is shaped by the decisions of the players. The gameplay focuses on expanding the kingdom. During the game, the player constructs buildings, gathers resources and researches new technologies. Although the game is based on a simple economic system, it also contains a military aspect: the player must recruit warriors and make them fight the AI-controlled forces in real time. Although player’s army is accompanied by characters from the console RPG - including Noctis and Cindy - playing the game alone is not a good idea. It is much better to create a guild or to join one and cooperate with other players.

We will face many various opponents against whom we can use range weapons, cold-steel weapons, and magic. We can create our own guilds and do quests with other players.

8-Bit Farm is a simple economic strategy game developed by Kairosoft, a studio that specializes in mobile games. Like the title suggests, we take the role of a farm administrator. We will have to maximize our farm's production, continually expand it, and achieve the highest levels of contentment of our visitors, who decided to see for themselves how farms actually work. We begin with planting a couple of basic plants, systematic gathering of our crops (flowers, fruits, vegetables), and rearing of farm animals. As our farm systematically grows, we hire more employees and start the agrotouristic part of our business. Gameplay is divided between the seasons and supplemented with many gadgets that will allow us to manipulate weather, puzzle and arcade mini-games. The game features 8-bit, pixelart visuals.

A 2D fighting game developed by the Taiwanese FK Digital, offering 16 different fighters. The player takes on the role of one of them in order to fight in one of the seven available game modes. Above all, the player will find the Arcade Mode (follows the story of the selected character), a score-attack mode, and a multiplayer mode that allows the player to fight against other players from all over the world (online). Furthermore, the game gives us an opportunity to personalize the character. One can both change the appearances of the characters, and select the most appropriate special abilities for them, which can be activated in combat. The Chaos meter serves a significant role in the gameplay formula, as it gets refilled when the player lands a hit and allows them to execute the character's deadly abilities that brighten the screen with plenty of colors and deal lots of damage to the enemies. The game offers pleasant, colorful graphics, resembling Japanese animation.
