This simcade racer pays homage to a hundred models of sport bikes produced between 1987 and 2015. Races take place over fifteen locales, including a selection of iconic GP tracks and fictional scenic roads. All bike models can be heavily customized with both cosmetic and mechanical upgrades... and there's a clothes shop for riders, too. In addition to an extensive World Tour and quick race mode, RIDE features two-player splitscreen and 12-player online events. The demo only showcases solo quick mode on one track (long and short variants) and three bikes.
Cities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation. The game introduces new game play elements to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city whilst expanding on some well-established tropes of the city building experience.
From the makers of the Cities in Motion franchise, the game boasts a fully realized transport system. It also includes the ability to mod the game to suit your play style as a fine counter balance to the layered and challenging simulation. You’re only limited by your imagination, so take control and reach for the sky!
Crimes and Punishments is a series of six self-contained murder mysteries. Each case features the usual mix of exploration, interrogation, puzzles and the occasional more action-y sequence. Gathered clues combined in logical pairs will add nodes to the synaptic network of the "deduction space", but key elements of the story remain open for interpretation. It's up to you, Sherlock, to pick the most plausible chain of events, designate a guilty party and decide their fate.
The "revised remake" of the 1996 top-down racer was a huge hit on iOS. Although developed by Remedy, it shares so little DNA with its classic ancestor that it was met with a cold shoulder on our platform of choice.
An isometric-ish racer-shooter whose subtle gameplay is served by a beautifully bare-bones control scheme. All vehicles are maintained within reasonable distance of each other along the race, so that using power-ups and evading trouble until the last second is more important than just having the fastest ride. Targem's in-house engine is also pleasantly undemanding whilst delivering colorful FX, detailed physics and particles galore. In career mode, earned points and cups unlock new cars and challenges respectively. Up to 4 local players can enter the fray.
Dying Light is a 2015 survival horror video game developed by Polish video game developer Techland and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game revolves around an undercover operative sent to infiltrate a quarantine zone in a city called Harran. It features a zombie-infested, open-world metropolis with a dynamic day and night cycle. It was originally planned to release in 2014, but was pushed back to 2015.
The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot is a free-to-play real-time strategy video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal. The game combines castle defense and dungeon crawling mechanics, allowing players to build their own castle and to attack those built by other players in order to collect various in-game resources such as Crowns, Gold, and Gear.
The game requires U-Play, and leaves a client running even when you exit the game. The client shows as an icon in the System Tray. No idea why this is needed, or what data it is sending to Ubisoft.
Maxine may not be the most popular girl on the campus, but she's got a gift: rewinding time to rethink choices, undo mistakes, avert bad consequences. Suddenly caught in Arcadia Bay's tangle of secrets, only she can see that the whole city is on the brink of disaster... Life Is Strange is an episodic third-person adventure with an emphasis on atmosphere and the long-term effects of Max's actions. The story should be complete by July, 2015 although no official release date was announced for any of the remaining episodes.
Pure arcade racing on officially licensed motorcycles. Tame every stretch of the road by switching instantly between 3 bike classes - a fast Superbike, a nimble Roadster and a steadfast Custom - each with their own special way to fill the turbo bar. Perform stunts (basically: don't hit things) to earn more Kudos and access single-bike time trials to unlock new models. Motorcycle Club features 22 bikes and 10 tracks (each with a reverse version). A demo was released three months after the full game, because bikers are rebellious like that.
Banished is a one man project city simulation.
In this city-building strategy game, you control a group of exiled travelers who decide to restart their lives in a new land. They have only the clothes on their backs and a cart filled with supplies from their homeland.
The objective of the game is to keep the population alive and grow it into a successful culture. Options for feeding the people include hunting and gathering, agriculture, trade, and fishing. However, sustainable practices must be considered to survive in the long term.
