The goal of the game is to collect all dots on the playfield with your yo-yo. In each level the dots are placed in different patterns and the numbers of enemies vary. There are two types of enemies. One type (that you may not touch at all) puts electrical charges on the dots, which you have to catch. The other type is also deadly, unless you hit it when you are charged, which gives you bonus points. You can move your yo-yo in four different directions and it grabs onto the dot which is nearest in each direction. The longer the distance to the next dot, the more points you get.

Vibes is a rhythm/music game in which you have to press the right buttons along with the musical patterns. It includes 13 songs, a combo-system and some difficulty levels.

Halo Wars 2 is a real-time strategy game based on the Halo universe and it is the sequel to the 2009 Halo Wars. Players use Spartans, Warthogs and other classic Halo units in order to battle the enemy. A single-player campaign and online multiplayer battles are available. The campaign consists of twelve missions and can also be played cooperatively. Typical mission objectives include surviving waves of enemies, defending structuring and capturing specific targets. There are also various side objectives. Many missions involve leading Spartan supersoldier units as well.

The game once again relies on two factions and is now set in the year 2559. On the one hand there is the human faction United Nations Space Command (UNSC) and on the other a new alien faction called the Banished, replacing the Covenant from the first game. Both factions have leader units with special abilities tied to a cooldown period. These abilities can mass heal or do a lot of damage in a short time. In multiplayer there are multiple game modes for up to six players online or bots.
