A game combining adventure, logic and arcade elements, created specifically for PlayStation VR goggles. Wayward Sky was developed by Uber Entertainment - the creators of Monday Night Combat or Planetary Annihilation. The player assumes the role of a young female pilot called Bess, who, along with her father, crashes in a mysterious fortress protruding from the clouds. The old man is taken prisoner by the hostile robots and the player's goal is to save him, getting past various obstacles that happen to get in the protagonist's way. Generally, Wayward Sky is a point-and-click adventure game which focuses primarily on solving puzzles. Contrary to the classics of the genre however, puzzles here not always require only thinking - arcade elements appear for instance when the player has to control an awkwardly-moving robot in order to press certain buttons which cannot be reached by the protagonist. Wayward Sky stands out with its fairy-tale-like visuals contributing to the games atmosphere.

A new version of the classic mobile game Snake by the original creator, Taneli Armanto. In Snake Rewind you control a snake, who constantly moves forwards, and your task is to direct it at meals scattered all over the screen. By eating them, the snake gets longer, which increases your points, but also makes it harder to play, as the space to maneuver decreases. If you hit the wall or your own tail, you lose. Snake Rewind consists of ten levels, each of them featuring a different visual style. There is also a monochrome style option for the more traditionally-minded players. Apart from the better visuals, Snake Rewind features special powers, which make the gameplay easier. Some levels also feature bonus challenges, e.g. directing the snake along the marked lines. As the title suggest, you can also rewind time (although in a limited scope), which allows you to continue playing even if you crash into something.

There are six game modes to choose from: Race Mode (racing a “ghost”), Collector Mode (collecting diamonds scattered on the street), Outrun Mode (a police chase), Vaporizer Mode (touching a barrier disintegrates the car) and Gauntlet Mode (an infinite race in which one has to avoid collisions). In any of these, we may play either alone or in multiplayer mode (over the Internet or in split-screen mode). All of the above is presented using attractive visuals which look vintage while employing modern effects.

The player takes on the role of an adventurer who explores both mysterious and dangerous areas of the place known as the Archives. The player either fights the enemies or sneaks pass them, gathering loot and developing their character along the way. Almost every action of the player affects their character's personality and skills. For instance, drinking beer regularly leads to alcohol addiction; grabbing each and every coin we stumble upon can result in catching gold fever. Other mechanics display a similar level of complexity. Wounds fall into different categories, and each sickness needs to be cured by different means. Healing items also have different forms and quality, for example, using the worst kind of bandages can cause an infection. When it comes to combat, the game combines typical mechanics of turn-based titles with hack-and-slash elements. The Shadowborn is a two-dimensional game played from a top-down view.

A 3DS port of Tetsuya Takahashi's jRPG, which was originally released in 2010 for Nintendo Wii. The story is set in dualistic world made of two bodies of gods who fought each other and died in the battle. While one is inhabited by humans, the other is dominated by hostile mechanical beings. The story focuses on a young orphan called Shulk, who, along with his team, is trying to prepare humanity for the incoming enemy. The hand-held port does not bring any changes to the gameplay mechanics of the game. As the developers aspired to deliver the essence of the original game intact, the port is incompatible with other Nintendo hand-helds and works exclusively on New 3DS.

An atmospheric platformer game with logic elements, referencing classic noir movies in terms of style. Renoir is the debut project of the independent studio Souldbound Games that secured necessary funding thanks to a crowdfunding campaign at Kickstarter. In the game, we assume the role of an experienced detective, James Renoir, who is to solve his last case. In the course of the investigation, the protagonist not only has to survive in a metropolis that is full of fear, corruption, and crime but also to face difficult events in his own life. The gameplay of Renoir combines elements of a classic platformer game with a detective adventure production. While exploring subsequent locations, the players will encounter arcade elements as well as simple logic puzzles. Despite being powered by the advanced Unreal Engine 4, Renoir uses a side view typical of platformer titles. The game’s graphics combine black-and-white visual style, reminiscent of, among other things, Limbo, and a dark atmosphere of noir movies.
