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...
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 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 ?

A sequel of sorts to 2010's Guardian Of Light, Temple Of Osiris is an action-platformer combining lush 3D graphics and an old-school isometric view. Lara must reclaim the pieces of the shattered statue of Osiris to restore the betrayed god's power and prevent Set to accomplish his evil plans. Up to four players can join forces to fight Set's minions, operate gigantic contraptions - and "accidentally" kill each other whenever the loot is too good to share.
