Investigate mysteries and fight against evil in this stylish game originally released for iOS.
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.

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.

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.
BUD: Gardener of the Galaxy. Deployed on a distant planet to grow a gigantic plant toward an orbiting spaceship, the clunky Botanical Utility Droid must deal with gravity and momentum relentlessly harassing its flimsy body. The resourceful little fellow has some tools to cope: a (broken) jetpack and a strong pair of hands to conquer the steepest slopes, and the ability to use flowers and leaves as hang gliders. Armed with resolve and no fear of heights, BUD will ride the giant plant's shoots into fertile floating islands... and meet the strange local lifeforms on a daring vertical journey.
The Crew is an open-world racing game set across a simplified-yet-extensive map of the United States. Players can drive freely or teleport to discovered areas, and pick any activity between story missions, exploration, faction races and the many on- and offroad challenges scattered around the land. The always-online game blends solo and multiplayer seamlessly and borrows some of its progression mechanics to MMOs. Victory means money but more importantly access to better car parts, while XP and Crew Credits award perk points to improve various cars and driver stats.
