In Bigger & Boulder, Atlas (no relation), the Greek Titan that's tasked with the eternally dreary job of holding up the sky, has literally dropped the ball and must run through different periods of Art History to escape the consequences. And he'll take all of the support he can get, because prominent figures throughout history are getting in his way; there's no time to gather moss - start smashing down those gates! The conquerors in the game are each representative of their different periods of Art History, from Early Renaissance to Surrealism, and are presented in the series' quirky, Python-esque, cut-out animation style.

 

One of the major changes to the gameplay in Rock of Ages 2 is the emphasis on co-op and competitive play, where up to four players can strategically plan their victory by way of merciless destruction via boulder! There's also been a complete revamp of how resources are accrued in the game, so players will not just have to defend their own castles, but resource nodes as well!

The rules are simple. Reach the other side and kill anyone that stands in your way. Deftly parry and rend their throats, riddle their bowels with arrows, or squish their brains between your toes. The wurm cares not for chivalry.

Decoherence is a competitive action/strategy game where you build robots, devise a battle plan and fight alongside them. It’ll test your strategic thinking, sharp reflexes and adaptability, all of which are needed to reach the top. Plays like a twin-stick shooter, but is a strategy game at its core. You build robots using components you’ve collected, place them on the arena, configure their AI and fight alongside them against an opponent with their own team of robots.

We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of moderately terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful denial in the city of Wellington Wells. In this alternative 1960s England, conformity is key. You’ll have to fight or blend in with the drug-addled inhabitants, most of whom don’t take kindly to people who won’t abide by their not-so-normal rules.
