    SAROS
    Saros delivers an excellent mix of 3D action and bullet hell combat, with fast, tense, and satisfying battles supported by a strong cosmic horror atmosphere and Arjun’s growing paranoia. Its permanent progression system reduces frustration without removing the challenge, but the experience becomes repetitive over time due to limited build variety, simplistic regions, and shallow progression. While still a great action game for fans of intense and difficult experiences, the lack of diversity keeps it from reaching its full potential.

    Mixtape
    Mixtape is a brief adventure that captures the chaos of adolescence, conveying its themes through an experience that explores the imagination tied to that stage of life, especially in a pre-internet era. The narrative is elevated by what makes video games such a unique medium: interactivity, stunning visual sequences, and the seamless integration of its soundtrack, which subtly communicates emotions and feelings.

    Outbound
    If you're looking for a comfy game that can hold your attention for hours while delivering a relaxing and rewarding experience, Outbound definitely deserves a place on your list. Even with a few stumbles, it manages to offer a quite enjoyable and addictive experience within its genre.

    Two Point Museum: Arty-Facts
    Two Point Museum: Arty-Facts is another excellent addition to Two Point Studios' simulator, bringing a strategic layer that refreshes the gameplay experience beyond just new visual content. The focus on active content creation and the emotional management of specialists makes the museum routine much more dynamic and challenging, rewarding players who seek a more detailed management approach.

    Clockwork Ambrosia
    Beautiful and fun, Clockwork Ambrosia takes a retro approach to build a vast and demanding exploration experience, with little help in finding the next destination, which can be frustrating for those who don't want to feel lost. The combat is interesting because of how we can modify weapons with many accessories, encouraging experimentation to test what is most appropriate for different situations.

    Foreign Sun
    Foreign Sun is one of those indies that arrives quietly but leaves a much larger impression than you’d expect. The combat is precise and deeply satisfying for those with the patience to master it; the world reacts to your choices in ways you won't anticipate, and exploration always hides something extra just around the next corner. It’s not a production that forgives those who try to rush through, whether in combat or navigating the map, and that will inevitably push some players away.

    Call of the Elder Gods
    With equal emphasis on narrative and sequences of puzzles, Call of the Elder Gods makes good use of the Lovecraftian legacy, reinterpreting it with a presentation that dispenses with horror and prefers the mystery of adventure. It's a game that seeks to be enjoyable, without the pressure of fear, time constraints, or overly complex puzzles, being challenging only to the extent that it makes us think a little, even if its tools and talkative characters can be overly didactic.

    Monster Crown: Sin Eater
    Monster Crown: Sin Eater is a natural evolution of the first game, offering a livelier world and a mature theme that truly resonates with the player. The title stands strong on the brilliance of its deep fusion mechanics and a compelling, well-written revenge narrative. However, clunky interface issues, a lack of clear direction, and the absence of a Portuguese translation hold the game back from reaching its full potential.

    Invincible VS
    Invincible VS is a title that will greatly please fans of the series, but it falls short in the lack of game mode options for those who enjoy fighting games. The character mastery system suffers precisely because of this, but there's no denying that it's fun to try out every possible combination in fights to test combos, see the insults and jokes between each fighter, and, most importantly, annihilate your opponent in the most brutal way possible.

    Before I Go
    With its strengths lying in well-executed, precise platforming gameplay, Before I Go manages to make good use of simple resources to not only create an aesthetic atmosphere suitable to its existentialist premise, but also to offer a great exploration experience. The combat doesn't achieve the same success in design, with bosses that leave something to be desired, so the recommendation is entirely geared towards those who value challenges involving precise traversal and movement in a Metroidvania.

    Demon Lord: Just A Block
    Demon Lord: Just a Block is a competent roguelike that shines through its inventive combat. The blend of turn-based strategy and real-time parrying creates a deeply satisfying rhythm. Despite occasional balancing issues that can trivialize the challenge and a lack of genre-defining innovation, its visual charm and solid localization make for a pleasant experience. Ultimately, it’s a fun, low-stakes title perfect for casual play.

    Constance
    Beyond its obvious beauty, Constance stands out as a Metroidvania with an emphasis on platforming and fun bosses. Although the world's presentation makes it seem smaller than it actually is, there's plenty of content for those eager to discover secrets and challenges in optional segments. In the end, it's a great Metroidvania that suffers from failing to create a solid connection between the two narrative threads that weave its story about mental health, making it more superficial than the proposed theme requires.

    NTE: Neverness to Everness
    Neverness to Everness lives up to its nickname of "anime GTA" by delivering an ambitious and stylish open world. If Hotta Studio refines the technical polish and adjusts the narrative pacing, the title has everything it takes to become the new absolute benchmark of the genre.

    MOUSE: P.I. For Hire
    Mouse P.I. for Hire delivers a great narrative coupled with good gameplay and an impeccable setting. There are a few minor flaws that could still be fixed, but it's the kind of game that will hold your attention from beginning to end without exaggeration or cheap tricks.

    Gambonanza
    Gambonanza is a good game with the potential to be great. With some adjustments to the probability system and the balancing of the gambits, it could establish itself as one of the most original productions in the genre. For now, it falls into the category of games that impress with their idea, but leave us a little disappointed in their execution. Promising, fun, and at the same time, unnecessarily unfair and punitive.

    Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors
    The task was difficult, but Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors managed to deliver another fun, challenging, and addictive experience. The game competently combines the roguelike and deck-builder genres, with many interesting gameplay mechanics to face all types of enemies. I'm hoping for more content in future updates, especially in the form of DLCs, so that the title becomes even bigger and better.

    The Weeping Swan: Ten Days of the City's Fall
    The Weeping Swan: Ten Days of the City's Fall is an excellent visual novel that delivers a powerful story, featuring believable and compelling characters set against an extremely turbulent historical period. Because it does not offer particularly hopeful endings, it may not appeal to everyone, but it will certainly leave a lasting impression on those willing to experience its journey.

    Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth
    Excellence in gameplay, meticulous care in visuals and strong bonds of friendship in emotional core build up a masterpiece of an adventure. Pacing is tight and the metroidvania elements are well placed, but it's the construction of a found family that really sells the whole package. Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth will warm even an ice cold heart.

    Gecko Gods
    Gecko Gods is an enjoyable open-world exploration adventure. The central gameplay element is free climbing: on the role of a gecko, we can walk across all solid surfaces and solve puzzles that allow us to progress through the campaign. However, the general simplicity ends up with an air of superficiality and leaves one wishing that certain aspects were better in-depth, such as the world's story, the variety of environments, and the level design challenges.

    Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince
    Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince represents a remarkable evolution within the Dragon Quest Monsters series. By investing in a more elaborate narrative than its predecessors, a highly customizable combat system, and a world that is extremely engaging to explore, the title manages to deliver a very enjoyable experience and stands out significantly within the creature-collecting RPG subgenre.

    MotionRec
    MotionRec offers a clever challenge that relies primarily on the player's creativity through simple mechanics. It's the ideal game for those who enjoy puzzles and platformers with a touch of retro charm.

    A Planet Full of Cats
    Don't be fooled by its appearance: A Planet Full of Cats goes beyond a mere collection of scenarios involving finding kittens. Puzzles and a "metroidvania-lite" structure give substance to the experience, which features nice visuals and enjoyable challenges. It lacked a bit more daring in general, just like the titles that inspired the game's theme. Even so, we have here a good recommendation for fans of the genre (and space cats).

    Kumitantei: Old-School Slaughter
    Kumitantei: Old-School Slaughter - Episode 1 brings renewed interest to the death game formula, between more openly questioning the meritocratic philosophy of the Danganronpa world and boasting a cohesive cast, very well-positioned for chaos (or apathy, as their captors would have it). This is a project worth following to its eventual conclusion.

    Neve
    Neve operates in a reduced space and knows very well how to utilise every inch of it. It makes one dream: what could such a talented team make with more resources? With luck (and, hopefully, help from the specialised press over here), this will be the proof of concept that shows the potential of great Brazilian professionals to the wider industry. Those who like narrative adventures cannot miss this game.

    Starfield
    Starfield is an RPG that grows over time, demanding patience in its opening hours but rewarding those who stay with an experience rich in systems, side stories, and freedom of identity. Despite the friction of constant menus and some uninspiring environments, it remains a compelling journey; when everything aligns, the game delivers the genuine feeling of living your own odyssey amidst the vastness of space.

    Tides of Tomorrow
    Tides of Tomorrow stands out by betting on an ambitious and innovative idea, transforming individual choices into a shared experience between players. Despite imbalances in how these decisions impact one's own journey and the frustrating lack of post-game tools like New Game+, the title sustains its premise with a striking world, well-built characters, and an intelligent integration between narrative and mechanics, making this a memorable chapter within the genre.

    Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege
    Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege admirably fulfills its purpose: to be an honest and well-executed homage to the games that shaped a generation. The title doesn't try to disguise its influences, and we could even say that this is one of its merits. For veterans, it's a welcome return to a time when games demanded patience, attention, and respect. For newcomers, it's a valuable—and sometimes brutal—invitation to understand why this generation speaks of that era with such nostalgia.

    Final Sentence
    Final Sentence is, without a doubt, the coolest and most unique experience I've had in 2026. It still needs improvements, but those are mostly related to the large number of bots in matches more than anything else.

    Regions of Ruin: Runegate
    Regions of Ruin: Runegate delivers a solid premise by combining strategic combat with the satisfaction of watching a base grow. The game stands out for the freedom it grants players to explore at their own pace and the depth of its skill tree, which allows for interesting character customization. On the other hand, it requires patience to overcome technical and combat design flaws that often interfere with the experience. Overall, it is a competent RPG that rewards the effort of those who decide to master its mechanics.

    Find My Frogs
    Find My Frogs is solely focused on being a lighthearted pastime, and it fulfills this role with unique competence and beauty. It's just a shame that its duration is so short, because it certainly has the potential for expansions or even sequels, given its cozy and lighthearted style.
