The Art of Magic is a 3D role-playing / strategy hybrid.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pure arcade racing on officially licensed motorcycles. Tame every stretch of the road by switching instantly between 3 bike classes - a fast Superbike, a nimble Roadster and a steadfast Custom - each with their own special way to fill the turbo bar. Perform stunts (basically: don't hit things) to earn more Kudos and access single-bike time trials to unlock new models. Motorcycle Club features 22 bikes and 10 tracks (each with a reverse version). A demo was released three months after the full game, because bikers are rebellious like that.

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.
