Spintires doesn’t offer a compelling story or over the top action, but if you can appreciate a challenging game with a slower pace you will have fun. Navigating muddy terrain using enormous trucks is certainly an unique experience and while there is only one objective the true joy comes simply from playing with big trucks in the realistic mud.
Gameplay: Slow paced and intense, but very enjoyable and satisfying.
Graphics: Large maps and very detailed vehicles.
Sound: Very peaceful

While Kyn isn’t perfect and suffers from some bland characters and a story that fails to captivate, it is still an impressive offering considering that it is the work of mostly two developers. It features plenty of strategic, but action-packed combat, a wealth of equipment to craft and plenty of well-designed maps. Fans of older party-based games, like Icewind Dale will feel right at home with Kyn.
Gameplay: Kyn offers a single player, party based combat experience with plenty of action.
Graphics: Varied levels and plenty of detail.
Sound: No voice acting, but the soundtrack is great

Although the time manipulation elements have been seen in other games before, Project Temporality manages to impress with clever puzzles and rewarding gameplay. There is also a deeper story lurking behind all the puzzle solving for players interested enough to delve deeper. The game challenges you to carefully plan ahead, but because you can simply rewind time to rectify mistakes it rarely becomes frustrating.
Gameplay: Challenges you to think in four dimensions and rely on yourself to solve co-op based puzzles.
Graphics: Somewhat lacking in visual variety, but the overall design and lighting effects are excellent.
Sound: No voice acting, but some very nice music tracks

NaissanceE is not a game for players that want to know exactly what is going on at all times. Instead of offering any explanations the game simply drops you into a surreal and intimidating gameworld that thrives on your confusion. The result is an experience quite unlike anything else and one that will stay with you long after the journey is complete.
Gameplay: First person exploration with a dash of puzzle solving and platforming.
Graphics: Beautiful and imposing in equal measures.
Sound: Atmospheric audio that greatly enhances the whole experience

Lumini isn’t the longest or most challenging game on the market, but it features relaxing gameplay, charming visuals, and a very soothing soundtrack. This flow-based adventure is a joy to play and is accessible enough that anyone can have fun with it. It also features an unlockable “Hard” mode for players who want a challenge instead of a relaxing experience.
Gameplay: Accessible controls and relaxing gameplay make Lumini an absolute joy to play.
Graphics: The visuals look superb, and each area has lots of detail.
Sound: The soothing soundtrack is an excellent match for the unique gameplay

While Little Inferno is not a game in the strictest sense of the word, it does provide a very interesting experience. There isn’t much of a challenge beyond finding the correct combination of things to burn, but the eerie story and polished visuals might just suck you in. Perfect for those cold winter evenings.
Gameplay: Simple but strangely relaxing.
Graphics: Stylish and polished.
Sound: Very eerie

Journal is an enjoyable experience as long as you don’t expect too much from it. There are no puzzles or interaction, but the storyline was engrossing enough to keep me hooked to the end. While Journal is quite a short experience it does cover a lot of topics not usually found in a game. It is hard to recommend this title to players looking for a traditional game, but personally I found it to be thought provoking.
Gameplay: Very little interaction beyond talking to people.
Graphics: The hand painted visuals fit the style and the story of the game.
Sound: The soundtrack is pretty moving and the voice acting decent

How To Take Off Your Mask is an otome game with a cast of likeable characters, an interesting scenario and plenty of humorous moments. It also features a couple of choices that branches the storyline, which along with the Steam Achievements, adds to the replay value. The writing is also good enough to draw in players who are not normally into otome titles, but check out the free demo first to see what the game has to offer.
Gameplay: Fairly linear, but well written and with a branching storyline.
Graphics: The game features charming visuals with plenty of detail for each character.
Sound: The soundtrack is great and the game also features full Japanese voice acting

I didn’t quite know what to expect from Continue but I certainly enjoyed the experience. The game might seem a little pretentious, but it handles mature themes in an interesting manner and managed to keep me hooked right to the bitter end. It is not often that a game challenges players to confront their own mortality, but I think Continue has pulled it off admirably.
Gameplay: A game that challenges you to think instead of just testing your reflexes.
Graphics: Moody and atmospheric in a retro kind of way.
Sound: A brilliant soundtrack with good sound effects

It will take a while to conquer the 40 levels of platform puzzles in A-Men, but it is worth it if you are up for a challenge. The gameplay feels like something out of the 16bit era, but with a nice coat of modern paint. While some players might relish the challenge, it is also bound to frustrate those blessed with less patience.
Gameplay: This is not a bad choice if you are in the mood for a challenging puzzle platformer.
Graphics: Old-school 2D visuals with a unique style.
Sound: The music isn’t too bad, but the voice acting can be a bit hit or miss
