Expeditions: Viking is the latest historical RPG from Logic Artists, a Danish developer whose last offering was all about forcefully bringing the military might of Spain to faraway lands like Mexico.

Read MorePreview by Matt C.At a glance, Prisma & the Masquerade Menace probably looks like a lot of other platformers out there, with its jumping puzzles and colourful presentation.
