Atelier Ryza: Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack is a solid collection offering graphic improvements, new content, and quality-of-life features. It nearly delivers the definitive version of the trilogy, lacking only Portuguese subtitles and an option to speed up combat.

Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is a curious piece of Falcom's history that finally comes officially to the West. Though it has some quirks that may keep it from what people expect of a competitive fighting game, it's a consistently fun game that's worth exploring, especially for the fans of the Japanese developer.

With the nostalgia of childhood dreams, Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland builds a visually excellent presentation with great attention to detail. Beyond its beautiful appearance, the nonlinear world and efficient map are great invitations to explore this Metroidvania adventure, which has heavier movements than I would like, but which, overall, offers a true delight both for those who are still in childhood and for those who remember it.

Achilles: Survivor establishes itself as a survival roguelike that respects the genre's roots while also offering unique elements to set it apart. The use of Greek mythology, the structure-building mechanics, and the rewarding progression system give the game a unique edge that keeps players engaged for hours.

The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily may not have the historical weight or complexity of the genre's classics, but it has something few games manage to display so naturally: presence. Like its charismatic protagonist, the title doesn't hold back, arriving in high heels and with a sparkle in its eyes, standing out for its addictive gameplay and colorful presentation. It's a debut that, if it won't send the nobility to the guillotine, at least ensures no one gets distracted while it does a catwalk across the battlefield in a delightfully subversive manner.

Going beyond a mere “clone”, LEGO Party! is a great collection of minigames. It makes very good use of the building blocks brand, offering characters and scenarios full of charisma and variation. The same goes for the ambiance, which uses a talk show to bring a lot of good humor to the game. With fun games, especially to enjoy with friends, and great potential, this is a great choice for your gaming library.

Crown Gambit is a pleasant surprise within the tactical RPG genre. Despite technical limitations—such as simple animations and the lack of Portuguese localization—the game makes up for it with a well-written script, charismatic characters, meaningful choices, and challenging battles. Its card-based system, combined with character progression and the ancestral influence mechanic, adds depth and constant tension. With a striking visual style and an inspired soundtrack, the game stands out for the consistency of its ideas and the way it turns player choices into tangible consequences.

Silent Hill f is a true representative of its franchise. Abandoning its Western setting, the title embraces the Japanese horror tradition at its core, attempting to recapture what truly sets Silent Hill apart from other experiences within its genre. The combat may seem a bit limited at first, and the overall puzzle design lacks consistency, but the new thematic approach and the unquestionable success in creating an immersive and strangely inviting Ebisugaoka when it comes to exploration are a welcome shake-up to a stagnant formula. After all, the series spent so much time in Konami's fridge for a reason.

Pocket Bravery is definitely a Brazilian game worth checking out for several reasons: it is a work made on Brazilian soil that is no match for any other name in the genre, whether in terms of structure, visuals or sound; it can be a great choice for those who want a cool fighting game at a more affordable price; and it carries the passion that many of us have for this 90s genre and also adds several references and aspects of our culture. A fighter like this certainly cannot be underestimated by anyone.

Bounty Star offers a satisfactory narrative with a charismatic protagonist, iconic characters, customization, engaging mecha gameplay, and intuitive base management. However, the game suffers from repetitive scenarios, soundtrack, and mission structure.

Overall, it’s a fun experience, strange in just the right measure and, at many moments, genuinely emotional. Dead Pets: A Punk Rock Slice of Life Sim doesn’t aim for big twists or complex systems; its strength lies in turning everyday life, trauma, and growing up into something human, relatable, and easy to connect with. A small game in scale, but one with a big personality.

Capcom delivered another successful remaster. Although Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is the least beloved of the original trilogy, it remains a major classic of the sixth console generation and one of the most ambitious titles of its time. With quality-of-life improvements and a beautiful adaptation of its pre-rendered backgrounds to HD, this is the definitive version of Jubei Yagyu's revenge.

Combining nostalgia and challenge in the right way, Tempest Rising proves that war strategy games not only still have a place in the market, but can also be unmissable experiences, capable of winning over new and old fans alike.

Even though it's a respectable feature, don't really believe in the “adaptive difficulty” or other basic adjustments of MotoGP 25. If you're interested in the game, either dive deep into the races that simulate all the hardships and glories of real life, or invest time in the settings until you reach an appropriate balance of challenge and fun. The competent production, with beautiful visuals whether in the first or third person, and fast loading encourages the competition for championships and races. A great suggestion for lovers of high speed and who are willing to dedicate themselves to a rich and fun, but equally demanding universe.

Avowed delivers an action RPG with dynamic combat, high build freedom, and charismatic companions that enrich the overall journey. Exploration across the Living Lands is rewarding and horizontal, though the title suffers from technical issues in third-person view and a lack of narrative impact from racial choices. Ultimately, it is an intriguing experience with multiple endings that exceeds initial expectations in its definitive PlayStation 5 version.

By combining elements from seemingly very different genres and focusing on narrative as the guiding thread for the journey, Death Howl proves to be a deckbuilder that is as original as it is captivating. Although its high difficulty may be daunting at first, it is worth embarking on this melancholic journey through the afterlife and the power of maternal love.

Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping brings all the good things from the first game, with another great story, but decides to play it safe and not dare to create new things. So, we have another short game that leaves the feeling that it could have yielded a little more, despite its undeniable quality.

Haneda Girl is a pleasant surprise in the platform action game scene. Combining precise controls, striking presentation and challenging gameplay, the title manages to please both hardcore and casual players, offering intense moments, constant learning and rewards for those who master its mechanics.

Constance is a sleek, elegant, and emotional metroidvania that combines fluid movement, striking visuals, and a well-crafted introspective theme. Despite some hesitation in fully exploring its own ideas and occasional issues with challenges and bosses, the game offers an engaging and personal adventure. It's a great choice for those who enjoy traditional metroidvanias, artistic experiences, and narratives that reflect internal conflicts — a work that, like its protagonist, stands out precisely for trying to balance creation and chaos.

Date Everything! is a pretty crazy idea that turned into an interesting dating sim, packed with content and full of charming characters — thanks to both its witty writing and its quirky, creative visuals. Even though the gameplay loop can get a bit repetitive and there are some rough edges in the controls, it’s one of those unique experiences that only indie games can offer.

Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo is a compelling journey through an afterlife world where people are stuck in a cycle caused by their regrets. Charismatic and vibrant, Galla's work is an experience worth playing.

Laysara: Summit Kingdom finds its best form in this complete version. The addition of the campaign mode, interface adjustments, and improvements to the notification system make the experience more complete and accessible. Its greatest strength lies in its verticality. Building on slopes, balancing altitude and productivity, and creating efficient logistics chains makes the development of each village like a strategic puzzle. It's not just about expanding, but about precise planning. This unique identity helps the game stand out within a genre that is already quite explored.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is an excellent game that continues the legacy of the previous remake: revitalizing the franchise. The vast roster of skaters, the freedom to create their own creations, and the sheer number of challenges promise many hours of gameplay for a wide range of audiences. However, omitting most of the original soundtrack and preserving THPS4's mission structure, in addition to removing classic stages, really ends up being a heavy negative point.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster is an excellent opportunity to get to know a classic. Though it demands more dedication than more modern titles thanks to some mechanics, the experience as a whole is high quality and the remaster does a good job at keeping it undeniably faithful.

Toni Island Adventure takes us back to the 1990s in a nostalgic and charming journey. With a lighthearted and humorous story, charismatic characters, and functional combat, Toni’s adventure across Salamino Island is an excellent way to relive the experience of classic games. More than just drawing inspiration from the past, it fully embraces the limitations and charm of the Game Boy, delivering an authentic experience that faithfully rekindles the memories of those who grew up in that era.

For those who have already experienced the first game, the recommendation is immediate. Coordinating Lana and Mui has never felt so satisfying, the puzzles strike a well-balanced level of challenge, encouraging thoughtful problem-solving without becoming frustrating, and the narrative delivers powerful moments, especially in its most emotional twists. For newcomers, if you appreciate heartfelt adventures with a strong visual identity and a focus on atmosphere, it is well worth discovering Planet of Lana.

Combining classic farming simulation elements with a more fluid combat system, new customization options, an engaging narrative and a cast full of charismatic characters, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma stands out as a great game and marks a significant step forward for the franchise. Even though it doesn't belong to the main numbered series, the title manages to generate plenty of excitement about the future of the series.

RIDE 6 manages to be a great simulator that also embraces arcade elements to make the experience more comprehensive. Fans of the series may not be impacted, but they won't be disappointed either. Now, if you're a beginner on two wheels, you'll certainly have a lot of fun and learn a lot, if you have patience and persistence.

In its small and dense open world, Little Kitty, Big City has plenty of fun. The quiet suburb is a well-planned place so that every corner has something to discover or a comically eccentric animal to meet, providing a relaxing freedom in which the very act of walking around and being distracted by details becomes an reason to become an agile, cute and curious cat, for whom the neighborhood is a big and adorable playground.

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.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves manages to live up to the expectations that were generated since its announcement. The gameplay is technical and dynamic, with a good balance between offensive and defensive resources, without creating unfair situations and rewarding those who can read their opponents better. The main game mode can be a bit slow, but that doesn't take away from the brilliance of the return of SNK's wolves.

Further enriching the excellent adventure of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Legacy of the Forge delivers some great new additions to the base title. Not only do we have access to new and interesting quests (did you know blacksmiths pulled teeth in the 15th century?), but also a new building packed with attractions and customizations. Whether you're a newbie or a veteran, it takes dedication to enjoy the DLC, but it's worth every groschen invested and every fiery hammer blow on the anvil.

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.

Following the rules of a good remake, PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC is a great platformer. The revamped production delivers beauty and joy, while the improved gameplay offers good and fun challenges. Going beyond a well-rounded campaign, we have plenty of content in the form of side missions, online rankings, and even future DLC. Another incredible addition to your library, whether you're a fan of the genre, the franchise, or just a great video game experience.

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.

Despite some mistakes, Chessarama hits perfect spot by combining traditional piece movement with specific and thematic challenges, managing to appeal to both chess fans and those who enjoy complex puzzles. And it's worth mentioning that there are several tutorials and explanations so that no one is left out, even those who have never touched one of those square tables with the checkered pattern in the center. It's a title recommended for those who want to lose track of time with one challenge after another.

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.

Cronos: The New Dawn is a testament to Bloober Team's maturity within the survival horror genre. The studio delivers a dark, complex, and engaging experience that consistently balances psychological horror with science fiction elements. While not accessible to everyone, mainly due to its slower pace and high resource management requirements, it stands out as one of the genre's most memorable experiences in 2025. For those who enjoy the challenge and immersion of classic survival horror, Cronos is a must-play title.

If you enjoyed the journey of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Mysteria Ecclesiae is a golden opportunity to return to it to solve a meticulously crafted mystery.

I believe Dynasty Warriors: Origins was designed to appeal to a wider audience for the musou genre, adding an extra layer of variety to the traditional formula. For my personal taste as a fan of this style of game, I was quite pleased. The combat has more depth, the narrative is more linear and the diverse structure gives this reboot a fresh feel, moving it away from feeling like just "more of the same".

A great choice for fans of the franchise or adventure game lovers, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle delivers a very complete experience. Its journey around the world is great and well-constructed, full of twists, exciting fights, challenging puzzles and many other surprises. The technical level could be a little higher, but it does not compromise a must-have adventure for your library, no matter if it's on PC, Xbox or PlayStation.

Tales of Graces f Remastered is a new opportunity for a great game in the franchise to reach a new audience and allows old fans to relive this jewel on current systems. Though it doesn't stand out as a remaster, with many other projects that are more competent in the market, this complete pack of the action RPG is an easy recommendation for fans of the genre.

Dragon is Dead has evolved significantly since its Early Access debut. TeamSuneat has delivered on much of its promise, delivering a more polished action roguelite packed with content and engaging combat. The inclusion of a new playable character, UI improvements, and a challenging endgame have made the experience even more rewarding for players who enjoy pushing their limits.

With a lot of new content in every aspect, Lies of P: Overture is worthy of the title of expansion. Although it partially wastes the potential of the art direction by spending too much time in bland corridors and caves with little visual appeal, these extra chapters maintains the quality of the main campaign as a whole, being a significant and mandatory extension for all who enjoyed the adventure of Geppetto's puppet and want to delve deeper into it.

Mark of the Deep is a title that knows how to take advantage of the best of the metroidvania and soulslike genres to create an engaging and challenging adventure. With accessible mechanics and a friendly learning curve, the game manages to balance exploration, intense combat and captivating narrative, resulting in a memorable experience. The mysterious setting, combined with the well-developed mythology, makes Rookie's journey immersive and rewarding. Despite some inconsistencies, especially in the dubbing, the game stands out as an excellent example of the potential of the Brazilian industry and can already be considered one of the best games ever developed in Brazil.

In its complete release, The Rogue Prince of Persia didn't manage to break free from the main issue it had in its early access: the little variety and repetitiveness. However, even so, this is a fluid action game, which is extremely satisfying to explore and an easy recommendation for this reason.

If you love brutally hard platformers, this is exactly what you're looking for. Through the Nightmares constantly demands skill from the player, and deeply rewards those who invest their time and effort into it. The game could have a broader moveset, but the level-by-level variety definitely makes up for it.

NBA 2K26 regains the momentum lost with the previous title, although it still suffers from an excess of microtransactions that grant unfair advantages to those willing to pay. The other game modes, which are simpler, have become bigger, better, and more fun, leveraging the legacy that the NBA and WNBA have to offer while also making it a great showcase for their improved gameplay.

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.

The Namco Legendary Pack is a very important chapter in Atari's 50-year history, and this expansion treats it with the respect and care it deserves. It's another great addition to the collection's vast library of classics, and it sets a huge precedent for other companies to also bring their gems from that era to this near-perfect set.

Basureroes: Invasion is an excellent 2D action platformer. It doesn't deny for a moment that it was inspired by the classics of the genre, but it doesn't shy away from it and manages to show a unique personality, full of creativity, good humor and with enough challenge to please beginners and veterans alike.

NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD invites us to reflect about the pressure and the trappings of the digital world. The story doesn't romantize or oversimplify Ame's experiences but presents them in an honest and raw fashion. For some people, this may be cathartic; for others, unsettling — but, more than anything, it's a reminder that searching for online validation may have a high toll on our mental health.

Though ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist plays it safe by being too similar to its predecessor, it also surpasses it in every aspect. It's a challenging, beautiful and melancholic metroidvania, but also heartwarming in its emphatic narrative tone and quality of life upgrades — especially the excellent mapping —, along with the difficulty management.

Anno 117: Pax Romana proves to be an excellent simulator, worthy of the rich historical period that inspires it and also of the legacy of Ubisoft's long-running franchise. The fact that not even its technical flaws are enough to prevent a wider recommendation is a testament to the quality of its systems and all the fun involved in planning, building, and managing ancient cities.

Urban Myth Dissolution Center is a text adventure that's definitely worth playing, especially for fans of the genre. With a solid macabre atmosphere, great plot twists, and an excellent Portuguese translation, we have an immersive mystery solving experience in our hands.

NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound is a solid revival of the series in a 2D style, featuring fast-paced combat, well-placed platforming challenges, and high-level pixel art visuals. The dynamic between Kenji and Kumori adds variety to the gameplay with both close-range and ranged attacks, strategic use of Overload, and alternate stages in the demon realm. Despite some repetitive moments and sections where mechanics feel forced, the game maintains a steady pace and offers pleasant surprises throughout the campaign. With customization options, extra challenges, and a good balance between action and exploration, Ragebound provides a memorable and accessible experience that respects and revitalizes the franchise's legacy.

Trails through Daybreak II is a good continuation and a consistent step up in Calvard's saga. Despite some slip ups and how it feels like the events are more limited when taking into account the general series setting, this is yet another quality work and an easy recommendation for RPG fans.

More than the meme-game it seems to be, MiSide convinces you with its waifus, but enchants you with the masterful execution of a surreally well-optimized product signed by a team that clearly knows what it is doing without aiming and getting lost in pretentious delusions, but still managing to achieve them with a lot of work, competence and passion.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector enhances and expands on the concepts of the first game, delivering an even more compelling experience for fans of interactive narratives and tabletop RPGs. With strategic mechanics well-integrated into the gameplay, a richly-detailed universe and an immersive soundtrack, the game stands out as a sequel that respects its roots and at the same time adds new elements to make the experience deeper.

Despelote is far from being a title that draws attention for its gameplay or challenge. It comes with a very different proposal for a very specific audience, but that does not diminish the credit of its experience. For those who enjoy curious excerpts from parallel realities to ours, which were previously only possible through television documentaries, you will be quite surprised by this game, even if it doesn't last long.

Once Upon A KATAMARI may have taken a while to arrive, but it made up for the fans' wait with a great title. It maintained the good things that the remakes of the first two titles brought to current generations and enhanced them with excellent narrative elements and a charming soundtrack. The King of All Cosmos may have tried to interfere, in more than one way, but the Prince managed to deliver his katamari in the way we all expected.

Afterlove EP is a text adventure that manages to present the drama of mourning in an impactful and honest manner and the difficulties of recomposing oneself after such a giant loss. Emotional and visceral, this is a great recommendation for those who enjoy works of this nature, though the rhythm side ends up under-explored.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a sequel that takes what made the first game work and elevates it with visual improvements, greater freedom of exploration, and a welcome expansion of co-op. The shift to third-person, nonsensical humor, and irreverent sci-fi atmosphere maintain the franchise's charm, while new gameplay features make the experience more fluid and strategic.

More than simply revitalizing two games, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is a celebration of the origins of the JRPG. By enhancing combat with new mechanics and abilities, expanding the narrative with dialogues and arcs that strengthen the emotional bonds with the heroes, and making world exploration even more rewarding, Square Enix managed to modernize the core experience without abandoning the charming essence and simplicity that made them great classics of the genre.

Rift Riff reinvents the tower defense genre with its inventive approach. The ability to influence enemy paths creates multiple strategic options, and the wide variety of towers, monsters, and resources encourages creativity and experimentation. This freedom sometimes leads to trial-and-error situations, but fortunately, the fast-paced action minimizes the impact of this issue. These qualities, combined with the captivating setting and interesting content to explore, make Rift Riff an immersive and memorable experience.

Simple yet effective, the tower defense game Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted proves that a classic ages well. The remaster does a good job on adapting the visuals to modern screens, also bringing a wealth of additional content and, most importantly, the ability to play as a duo in both cooperative and competitive modes.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a bizarrely unique experience. Addressing many of the main concerns players had about the previous Gaiden, Ryu Ga Gotoku did an excellent job of creating a soulful adventure for what is certainly one of the most beloved characters in the fan community.

The Knightling, from Twirlbound, is a simple yet captivating game with an engaging story, fun combat, an epic soundtrack, and interesting exploration. Despite its minor flaws, its qualities outweigh the negatives. Portuguese subtitles would be a great addition in the future.

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.

Sid Meier's Civilization VII offers a fresh take on the franchise, introducing innovations that make the game more accessible while keeping gameplay dynamic for extended periods of time. While some elements, such as diplomatic relations, lack variation, the strategic depth that characterizes the series and the genre remains largely intact.

Rivals of Aether II presents a very solid foundation, with fast-paced combat, a variety of characters, and mechanics that work well in both casual matches and more technical levels of play. At the same time, its almost total focus on competitive play and the lack of solo content leave important gaps, especially for those who don’t intend to commit to online play. Even so, in local matches, the experience changes completely—it’s easy to get drawn in and have fun with the chaos of the fights. In its current state, it’s a game that already delivers good moments, but still feels like it’s in the process of growing. For those who enjoy learning, testing their limits, and gradually improving, there’s a lot of value here. For others, it might be worth keeping a closer eye on its development before fully diving in.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is a historical recollection of the franchise's legacy in the Game Boy systems (original, Color and Advance). The game's quality can vary wildly and the first ones in the pack are very different from what the real life TCG would develop into. With such an ample history, the series has better games that also deserve such a "rescue", like the Tag Force line, and hopefully the team's efforts don't end with just this rerelease.

As a free update, Nikoderiko: The Magical World – Director’s Cut does an excellent job of both bringing back those who have already embarked on Niko and Luna’s adventure, and offering a better experience for newcomers. This type of platform game requires polished controls and physics to work well, and the touches given are very welcome. Although it is excessively similar to Donkey Kong Country and Crash Bandicoot in both level design and themes, it is a game that took the best of the gorilla games and created a new experience, even if it lacks a greater identity of its own.

Overall, though its slip-ups are easy to notice, we still have an interesting adventure worth checking out for fans of RPG who aren't afraid of diving into a musical world that's as eccentric as it's provocative.

No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES doesn’t fix all the mistakes the franchise has made along the years and keeps vehemently insisting upon some of them, but it marks an excellent step to reconquer the hearts of those who were let down by the prior entry. It’s worth playing for all longtime fans of the series: players will find plenty of pleasant surprises, wrapped in fun escape rooms and Kotaro Uchikoshi’s classic screwball comedy.

Under Defeat brings together all versions of the game and even includes a new one, even if with few differences in fact, creating an aura of a full-bodied version of a title that can be considered a modern classic of the genre. If you are a fan and enthusiast of shoot 'em ups, you definitely need to add this one to your library.

Even though the quality of life features could have gone further, Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars brings two classic RPGs in great style. For those who haven't played yet and want to check out the two, it's a great opportunity to dive into the universe conceived by the late Yoshitaka Murayama.

Wheel World is one of those experiences that embraces the player with its lighthearted atmosphere, friendly visuals, and welcoming soundtrack. While it's not a game that relies on major twists or complex challenges, it knows exactly what it wants to deliver: an uncomplicated, fun, and engaging adventure, with a healthy dose of exploration, customization, and naturally evolving racing mechanics.

Ninja Five-O does an unexpected and much-needed rescue of an excellent title from the early days of the Game Boy Advance, which ended up being overshadowed by other big names released around the same time. Fans of Joe Musashi and Ryu Hayabusa who give Joe Osugi a chance will definitely not be disappointed.

Century of Anticipation is another one of those simple projects that few will talk about, but that many will love within the context of Brazilian games. This one is not full of explosions or grand cathartic moments, and it is precisely in the absence of these that the free poetic creativity, which is so lacking in many forms of art today, flourishes.

Unlike the glass skater, Skate Story is far from fragile. The combination of narrative, visuals, and soundtrack creates a great title for those who enjoy deep and reflective experiences.

With a short but engaging interactive narrative, the four-hour campaign of The Berlin Apartment showcases a century of transformations in the namesake city. The journey through time in Berlin is seen through the windows of an apartment and reflected in the lives of the people who inhabited it. There are many details to contemplate and some creative interaction mechanics that enrich its stories, although the superficiality of others leave something to be desired.

EA SPORTS College Football 26 proves it was a great decision to bring college football back to video games. Besides the skillful gameplay, the way stadiums, teams, fans, and mannerisms have been brought to the virtual environment captivates those in control to the point of wanting to discover what each playbook has to offer.

Shard Squad stands out as an engaging experience within the bullet heaven genre, especially for its charismatic world, well-integrated systems, and a concept that encourages interesting combinations of creatures and elements. While following the trend of other popular games in the style, it finds its own identity in how it builds its roster of Shards, its accessible progression, and the freedom to experiment with different builds.

Rogue Loops stands out with a creative approach and well-structured mechanics. The cycle system with improvements accompanied by curses adds an interesting strategic touch, and the agile combat keeps the experience engaging. However, repetition ends up being a problem in the long run, since the structure of the challenges changes little between attempts. Even so, Rogue Loops delivers a fun and challenging game, which has the potential to become even better with future updates.

The First Berserker: Khazan is a competent soulslike, featuring a unique universe full of personality. It hits the nail on the head with the core mechanics of a game of this genre, featuring brutal and dynamic battles that manage to maintain that much desired fine line between sharp difficulty and fun. Although a little more innovation and variety could elevate the title to unmissable status, it is undeniable that we have here a great action RPG, especially for fans of the genre.

Octopath Traveler 0 is a solid experience that blends new systems with established elements of the series. The expanded combat, large cast, and rebuilt village add variety, while the narrative, despite relying on clichés and featuring shallow antagonists, still delivers some interesting moments. The artistic direction remains charming, and the soundtrack is excellent, though the technical side and visual scope are more modest than those of the other games in the series. Overall, the game feels like a title that introduces some new features but remains comfortable within its own formula. This isn't necessarily bad: fans of classic JRPGs will find a competent, engaging, and enjoyable adventure here, though it doesn't push the boundaries. Octopath Traveler 0 may not elevate the franchise to new heights, but it preserves what fans love—and sometimes, that's enough for a good journey.

Despite the absence of a more detailed codex and deeper extra modes, XENOTILT is an essential experience for pinball aficionados and a vibrant surprise for those seeking fast, addictive action. The game perfectly embodies the "just one more round" feeling, keeping players immersed in the rewarding cycle of challenge and satisfying sense improvement.

Aureole – Wings of Hope offers a creative and challenging experience by combining fast-paced action with a unique mechanic centered around throwing a halo. The variety of stages, which constantly introduce new ideas, makes the experience dynamic and full of surprises. Despite its simple control system, mastering the physics requires practice, and successfully overcoming tough moments rewards the effort with great satisfaction. On the other hand, the excessive trial-and-error and high difficulty in certain sections can make the journey feel tiring. Still, Aureole delivers a solid experience for those who enjoy precision and speed and are willing to persevere until they reach perfection.

Battle Suit Aces is a unique experience that blends anime narrative, strategy, and card mechanics into a creative and engaging package. Its story captivates, the characters are overflowing with charisma, and the visuals impress with their hand-drawn style. The card-based combat manages to be both accessible and deep at the same time, despite a few limitations. With loads of charisma and a vibrant universe, the game by Trinket Studios delivers an experience that balances tactics and narrative in well-measured doses. For those seeking a different kind of card RPG with the soul of an anime and the heart of science fiction, this is an adventure that's definitely worth embarking on.

After hundreds of cities and even a Halloween-themed game, Hidden Cats in Christmas manages to be just as fun as the others and still has the charm of Christmas in its favor. The new type of help is a welcome addition, even making everything easier to complete. But what now? Will the kittens only return at Easter? Or can we expect another stop around the world?

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.

The arrival of Capcom Fighting Collection 2 sets a precedent for the amount of things that Capcom can still bring with its collections of classic fighting games. The quality of the emulations, as well as all the features and assets in the package, still maintains the bar of excellence very high. It is another excellent collection that is essential for fans of the genre.

RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army delivers an experience that deeply respects its roots while implementing key improvements to make it more accessible today. Its immersive setting, stylized characters, and agile combat with strategic elements enhance the charm of the title, while the supernatural story keeps interest from start to finish. The addition of new content and customization features also extends the journey's duration and appeal. On the other hand, some limitations from the original still linger.
