Space Hulk Ascension

Full Control's Space Hulk was a 1:1 conversion of the tabletop game. Released a year later, Ascension is a more "videogamey" take on Games Workshop's classic. This solo-only standalone features additions like Fog Of War, XP, branching campaigns and appearence customization - resulting in a different, yet equally brainy and brutal, turn-based tactical experience. Ascension's base game contains over a hundred missions and three space marine chapters (Ultramarines, Blood Angels and Space Wolves).

Ziggurat

A rogue-lite fast-paced magical FPS. Fight through randomly-generated dungeons to find the portal key that will summon the level boss. Wield an assortment of staves, spells and weapons each using one of 4 mana types and boasting a secondary attack. Gain XP and choose new perks as you level up. Dodging is vital and death is final, but every kill counts toward unlocking new gear and playable characters for your future endeavours. The carnivorous carrot-ridden corridors of cartoonish carnage await...

Ride

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

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!

Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments

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.

Death Rally (2012)

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.

BlazeRush

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.

The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot

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.

Life Is Strange

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.
