A blend of a 2D platformer and a simple shoot'em-up game by Inti Creates. The production is another installment in the series, which started in 1988.

UnDungeon is an original mixture of roguelike and action-adventure games. It was developed by Laughing Machines, a three-person indie studio. The game takes us to a fantasy multiverse made of seven parallel dimensions. As a result of a mysterious cataclysm, all of them were combined into a single ruined world.

They are the game's protagonists. Before we begin our adventures, we have to choose one of them, taking under consideration their individual stats, skills, and abilities. We observe the game from an isometric perspective. We will explore the game's world and face enemies in real-time combat. In UnDungeon, we do not level up by gaining experience but by collecting more and more artifacts that increase our battle abilities. We will talk with many NPCs, and the decisions we make during our adventures will impact the game's ending. The game has 2D pixel-art visuals.

Strategy, Economic, Grand Strategy, World War I, Internet, LAN, Multiplayer, RTS, Singleplayer, War Strategy.
The next installment in a series of RTS games developed by the Canadian studio BattleGoat. In this game, the player is required to manage an entire country. The game is set in the World War I period, so the player begins in 1914 and is capable of leading their country through the next hundred years. The mechanics employed in the game were based on the fundamentals of the preceding titles; as a result, the game approaches the subject of managing a country in a holistic manner. Apart from fighting wars and commanding one's forces during battles, the player needs to develop the economy, take care of trade-related issues, or conduct both diplomacy and espionage. Similar to the previous installments of the series, Supreme Ruler: The Great War simulates the so-called "butterfly effect", so all the player-made decisions sooner or later result in adequate reactions by artificial intelligences in control of the remaining countries. The game offers both a single-player experience and a multiplayer variant (for up to 16 players).

At the same time, the criminal we controlled previously does the same moves as we did when we controlled him. Gameplay focuses on doing the same actions from a perspective of a couple of characters in away that all of their moves combine into a single coordinated action. Before we get a satisfying end result, we will have to more than once redo the heist and modify our character's actions.

Steep: Road to the Olympics is the first expansion for Steep, a winter sports simulator developed by Ubisoft. The DLC, created in cooperation with the International Olympic Committee, allows the players to try themselves in various winter sports, like Alpine skiing, snowboard cross, slopestyle, skicross, halfpipe, giant slalom, super giant slalom, or big air. Gameplay mechanics remain the same as in the base game. We will encounter both A.I.- and player-controlled characters as we play and take part in challenges created by the latter ones. Competition between the players (online rankings) and doing quests located all around the world still play an important role in the game. Developers created brand-new Japanese and North Korean locations for the DLC.
