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.

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)

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 ?

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.

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

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.

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.
