The Sims 4

The Sims 4 is a life simulation video game developed by Maxis and The Sims Studio and published by Electronic Arts. The game has the same concept as its predecessor, The Sims 3. Players control their Sims in various activities and form relationships. The game, like the rest of the series, does not have a defined final goal; gameplay is nonlinear. The Create-a-Sim and Build Mode tools have been redesigned to allow more versatility when creating game content.

The Talos Principle

You awaken, a synthetic creature at odds with this decrepit place. The voice of your maker urges you to find Sigils, the geometric artefacts locked behind seemingly impenetrable mechanisms in rooms and passageways opening all around you. There will be devices to jam, laser beams to redirect, contraptions to activate or put to sleep. You now have a purpose. What more could you want ?

Fez

Fez is a semi-open two-dimensional puzzle-platformer. In a peaceful world of pixelated shapes and bright colors, Gomez' only foes are dead ends, hidden doors and impassable gaps. His schtick : rotating the view by quadrants, thus re-aligning objects in the 3D world to use in his 2D endeavors. Sounds simple enough - but at the heart of the game lies a cubic ton of areas, collectibles, code-cracking challenges and obscure references that will wake you up at night like a kawaii dream of cerebral torture. Perspective, right ?

Sniper Elite 3

The prequel to Sniper Elite V2 - and Rebellion's fourth sniping-oriented game in two years - aims to keep the formula fresh with a host of additions and refinements, besides the radical change in scenery.

Defense Grid 2

It sure looks familiar, but the sequel to 2008's tower defense classic dares to do things a bit differently.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

Hulk

Based after the events of the blockbuster movie, you play Dr. Bruce Banner and his alter ego, green giant The Hulk. After fighting his way through the first year of his new identity, Bruce and The Hulk must now face a new enemy, The Leader, who wants to use the same gamma technology that created The Hulk in Bruce to develop an army of giants.

Goat Simulator

W(h)ether you call it GOATY or just another sheepish hype train, here's as a rare example of an indie project going viral and hitting its release window without turning to crowdfunding.
