Majesty: Fantasy Kingdom Sim
This is a battle simulator with more free will than the average title. Though you can bark your orders out at a variety of fighter-types, they've all got their own lives to lead and aren't going to be budging their butts without a good reason. This indirect strategy game will have you scratching your head at some points, but there's plenty to have fun with here.

Rayman Fiesta Run
Yep, Rayman's still on sale for now. In Fiesta Run you're sprinting across gorgeous landscapes with a lively fiesta theme, from its music to its environment. Leap on cocktail umbrellas, punch piñatas, bounce on citrusy limes, and more with a super-easy control system and addictive gameplay across 75 levels. Vamonos!

Rayman Jungle Run
If you're not feeling the lively landscapes of Fiesta Run, perhaps sprinting through the jungle might be right up your street. With a bit more of an Uncharted-vibe, you need to run away from tumbling rocks, leap across great caverns, avoid being crushed by stone structures, and make sure you're not caught out by any bosses if you can. It also got bigger and better with a recent update, bringing 25 more levels into play. Pure luxury.

No, you've got to use stealth, the right combination of gear, and the correct tactics to do away with your enemies and live to fight another day.

Whether you fancy playing in single, multiplayer, or going up against others in PvP battles, Tempest has you donning your finest captain's hat and rallying your men in a grand, open-sea adventure. What's a captain without a classy ship and knee-trembling arsenal? Not a pirate captain, that's for sure. You need canons, guns, armour, mortars, flame throwers, all the rigging, and more if you're to be ready for meeting bloodthirsty foes head-on. And a shanty wouldn't go amiss.
