Prison Break: Lockdown is definitely the most the engaging game I have played in recent times. The plot is simple and loosely based on the popular TV Show of the same name. You play as a convict on death row. You are sentenced for a murder you didn’t commit and you must escape.
You move around an shabby yet well guarded prison, manipulating the prisoners and guards and slowly plotting your way to freedom.

Stray Cat Simulator
Developer: Gluten Free Games
Platform: iOS, Andoid
So, the devs at Gluten Free Games decided to make a game on cats. But there are so many out there already. How do you make yours stand out? Simple, really. You let the player be a cat! And thus Stray Cat Simulator is born.
As the name suggests, you play as a stray cat. Pick your favourite breed and survive in a huge city filled with deadly dogs, pesky felines, and tasty rodents. The game is more fun than you may think. Once I started playing, I was soon drawn into it, as I had to constantly look for food to maintain my cat’s health keep its energy high. I also got to raise a family of cats and fend off other furry enemies.
The realism in the game is a little strict, for example, if you cause too much trouble, the city will call Animal Control to steal a cat from your pack. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little feline fun. So, if you ever wondered how it must be like to be a cat, here is your chance!
Highlights:
* Epic battles: Use your razor sharp claws and powerful bite to hunt your prey and fight your enemies.
* Build your pack: Dominate other cats and recruit them to your pack! With up to 5 additional cats, 15 breeds, and long or short hair builds, every pack will be unique.
* Huge 3D city environment: Your cat is free to roam a massive open-world environment. Busy city streets, wide-open parks, white-fenced neighborhoods, and a forest zone to fight the wildlife!
* Level up your cats: Gain experience by defeating dangerous enemies, eating food from the trash, and completing missions.
* 15 unique cat breeds: Pick your favorite breed! Customise your cat pack with any feline you’d like from the vast selection: Himalayan, Tabby, Calico, Birman, Ragdoll, Bengal, Snowshoe, Russian Blue, Norwegian, Sphynx and many more!
