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.

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.

Banished

Banished is a one man project city simulation.

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.

Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna)

Little Iñupiaq girl meets magic arctic fox in a land of ice, wind and folklore. Together they will triumph over the deranged Manslayer and unlock documentary videos. Never Alone can be played with a pal but it's more of a "solo co-op" experience with spoken narration and lite gameplay. Don't let it fool you: behind the innocent bedtime story, simple platforming and cute graphics, there's a game eager to kill you. Repeatedly.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch

Octodad is a third-person adventure game about destruction, deception, and fatherhood. The player controls Octodad, a dapper octopus masquerading as a human, as he goes about a day of his life. Octodad can slip through tight spaces, grab objects with his suckers, and knock things around with tremendous strength. But if the player does things too out-of-the-ordinary, Octodad's family will grow suspicious and realize what he really is. If they do, it's game over for Octodad! (from official site)

Daylight

Warning: this game is cursed. Developed by now-defunct Zombie Studios, the technically clunky first-person adventure struggles to turn its repetitiveness and randomly-assembled corridors into an engrossing experience. The first title built with Unreal Engine 4 to be released, Daylight is also the ominous sign that a new era of UE-powered Tunnel Vision might be upon us...
