Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today is the first game in the Dead Synchronicity series. Guide Michael, an amnesiac, through his first waking moments in the New World - a dying universe created when the Great Wave reverted the world back to the Dark Ages. Explore your new surroundings, talk to whomever can be bothered, and solve puzzles leading to the surprisingly-dark answers to otherwise-mundane questions: who are the "dissolved"? what is "dead synchronicity"? And how far will Michael go to survive in the New World?

There is no escaping the Worms weapons factory without blood, sweat, tears and mutton chops. Your goal is to have one sheep survive the traps and hazards separating the flock from the exit, using animals as barricades and short stairs, or imbuing them with special abilities. However sheep (unlike, say, lemmings) hardly have any means to alter their environment, so you'll have to learn each level's logic through trial and error to guide the bleating lot through Team17's surprisingly heartless puzzles... Then try to top their cruelty using the aptly-named Meat Maker editor.

Set at the turn of the 5th century, TW: Attila pits a crumbling empire against unnumerable hordes pouring from the East. The sequel to Rome 2 introduces nomadism and a family tree among other game mechanics geared more towards survival in a chaotic world than steamrolling conquest.

Set within the fictional state of San Andreas (based on Southern California), the single-player story follows three criminals and their efforts to commit heists while under pressure from a government agency. The open world design lets players freely roam San Andreas, which includes open countryside and the fictional city of Los Santos (based on Los Angeles). The story is centred on the heist sequences, and many of the missions involve shooting and driving gameplay.

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...

Cities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation. The game introduces new game play elements to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city whilst expanding on some well-established tropes of the city building experience.

From the makers of the Cities in Motion franchise, the game boasts a fully realized transport system. It also includes the ability to mod the game to suit your play style as a fine counter balance to the layered and challenging simulation. You’re only limited by your imagination, so take control and reach for the sky!

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.

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.
