Meganoid is a 2D platform game developed by the independent studio OrangePixel. We play as an armed to the teeth hero who explores the procedurally generated maps of the titular ship. As we play, we will explore many various levels, jump from one platform to another, avoid numerous traps, and face hordes of enemies. We will use many weapons like rocket launcher, plasma rifle, or explosives while eliminating them. There are many useful gadgets at our disposal, like a jet pack or a night vision device. Special cards will allow us to customize some parameters of the game. Given the game's fast pacing and high difficulty level, we will die many times in Meganoid. Combined with old-school, pixelart visuals, Meganoid brings to mind games from the early 1990's.

The second paid expansion for Order of Battle: World War II, a World War II themed turn-based strategy.

The subsequent scenarios take us to other parts of Baltic Sea, North Sea, as well as Atlantic Ocean, pitting us against Royal Navy and its allies. The hypothetical scenarios offer the ability to rescue Bismarck from the British forces, or lead German navy reinforced by Plan Z. When it comes to units, we are left with fifty new tokens including a hydroplane tender. The combat system was updated with new naval-oriented mechanics – an evasion bonus for mobile vessels, reduced detection of submarine units, or two weapon systems for battleships.

The combat potential of the character can be also increased with stickers that provide additional bonuses. It is worth mentioning that dying in the game is permanent and the legacy left by fallen heroes, like their equipment, can make the next attempt a bit easier.

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.

Arcade, 3D Platformers, Singleplayer, TPP, Xbox Game Pass Premium, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Xbox Play Anywhere, PC Game Pass.
Super Lucky’s Tale is a 3D platform game developed by Playful Corporation, creators of the series’ previous installment, Lucky’s Tale. We play as the titular fox Lucky who, together with his sister, tries to recover the Book of Ages stolen by the evil Jinks. Super Lucky's Tale is in many ways similar to other 3D platformers like Yooka-Laylee or the Rayman series. Gameplay focuses on exploration of various locations. Lucky is an agile fox that can jump, move objects from one place to another, climb, and dig in the ground. We use his abilities to move around the game’s locations, bypass obstacles, solve simple riddles, and collect gold coins. Action is presented from a third-person perspective, but the game offers a special side-scrolling level with challenges where our adventures are presented like in old-school platform games. Super Lucky's Tale was released as a part of the Xbox Play Anywhere programe – if you buy a digital copy of the game on Xbox One, you get its Windows 10 edition for free (and vice-versa).

Spider-Man: Homecoming VR is an arcade action game developed by Sony Pictures Virtual Reality as a part of the promotional campaign for the Spider-Man: Homecoming film. We play as the titular super hero. Our job is to test the new suit and new web slingers that were given to us by Stark Industries. The fact that Vulture breaths down our back only complicates things. In the end we will be forced to face him. The game is made of a series of challenges that test our aim, reflexes, and observation skills. We will be using all kinds of spider web while doing them. We use it to shoot at static and moving objects, move and throw environmental objects, and travel across the roofs of New York’s skyscrapers. We observe the action from a first-person perspective. Spider-Man: Homecoming VR is a virtual reality game that requires VR goggles to be playable and is free-to-play.

Apart from laser katana blades which can slice the opponents into pieces and repel enemy missiles, the player uses pistols and psionic powers.

Success is achieved here through juggling the available weapons skilfully and performing effective counterattacks, which can stun the enemy. The game features both regular skirmishes and spectacular scenes in the form of Quick Time Events. All of this is complemented by decent graphics, especially with regard to the standards of VR games.
