    Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition
    Alien: Rogue Incursion – Part One: Evolved Edition is a competent and fairly well-adapted adventure, standing out for the relationship between its protagonists and its excellent atmosphere. It’s a shame that the design philosophies inherited from the virtual-reality version still influence the experience. The simple structure of the puzzles and combat, the lack of enemy and environment variety, as well as the bugs and other technical issues, ultimately hinder the game’s potential. Even so, it’s worth playing despite the setbacks — especially for Alien fans.

    Into the Restless Ruins
    Into the Restless Ruins stands out for the way it guides the adventure, placing the responsibility on the player to forge their own path through the dungeons. Strategically planning the optimal route is an enjoyable challenge and showcases an idea with strong potential for further development in future titles. Unfortunately, the combat system falls short due to its lack of originality, which detracts somewhat from the overall experience. Still, despite its shortcomings, the game remains inventive and is a great recommendation for those looking for something different.

    Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition
    A large part of the strength that makes Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition unique comes from the foundational elements of the original game — which is by no means a drawback for the newer version. However, I believe there was a missed opportunity to elevate the classic to a technical level worthy of a 2025 title, without necessarily losing its identity. In the end, the project fails to innovate in key areas, but succeeds in presenting a great game to a new audience.

    Slime Rancher 2
    Slime Rancher 2 is no great revolution — and it’s also not really trying to be one. The game fulfills its big ideas quite well in terms of gameplay, but it wouldn’t be a bad thing if it dared to dream a little bigger. It’s good entertainment that could’ve made more of an effort to become great.

    Baby Steps
    Baby Steps is clearly aimed at a specific audience, with its clueless exploration and gameplay based on trial, error, and eventual frustration. Therefore, it may not be the best choice for those who just want to enjoy an open world. However, if you're the kind of person who can compose yourself after taking at least 80 deep breaths before redoing the same thing before freaking out, Bennett Foddy's new creation is ideal for your library.

    Threefold Recital
    Threefold Recital is an interesting narrative experience, featuring an engaging universe inspired by Chinese mythologies. Although the repetitiveness and lack of inspiration in the interactive sessions end up hurting the pace of the adventure, it is a game worth checking out for its story.

    Boti: Byteland Overclocked
    It's a shame that Boti: Byteland Overclocked's problems compromise the player's enjoyment. It has a great idea and a very well-crafted environment for the theme it proposes. However, it is more than necessary that corrections be made so that the little messenger robot gains the prominence it deserves.

    Project Tower
    For those looking for a fast-paced experience that goes beyond the AAA genre, Project Tower is a great option. If you want to test your reflexes and see if you can dodge all those colorful balls, you've found the right game.

    Gex Trilogy
    Gex Trilogy brings back from obscurity a mascot that exudes charisma and creativity, but that has not been well treated by time. With the many options we have today, whether from established names or indie producers, it is difficult to see how this triad would appeal to today's audience. This collection has its charm, but it is likely to attract only older gamers purely for its nostalgic appeal.

    Midnight Murder Club
    Midnight Murder Club delivers original ideas, solid execution, and bursts of fun. However, its low skill ceiling and limited progression hinder long-term engagement. Best enjoyed with friends, it struggles to remain rewarding for solo players.

    Vessels of Decay
    Despite its bugs and a rocky beginning, Vessels of Decay manages to engage the player in a healthy mix of dynamic combat and melancholic exploration. Even if you choose to wait for updates before buying, it's certainly worth your attention.

    Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos
    It's always nice to see characters from a franchise in a different idea from the mainline and Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos definitely offers this. However, maybe the Hyperdimension Neptunia universe had more to offer for this title's content, at least to make it a little longer or more varied for its replay value.

    Primal Planet
    With its high points outweighing its low points, Primal Planet sets the platforming action in the harsh survival of a Stone Age populated by dinosaurs and invaded by alien ships. The mid-campaign, with its narrative emptiness and trivialization of some mechanics, gradually loses the emotional strength and gameplay dynamic of the beginning, which is compounded by the poorly functional mapping. However, those who enjoy facing dinosaurs and exploring the corners of dangerous, interconnected 2D worlds will have reason enough to venture into this prehistoric world.

    Neon Inferno
    Neon Inferno delivers exactly what it promises: fast-paced action, stylish visuals, and gameplay that blends intense gunfights with strategic moments, thanks to its shift between perspectives and projectile deflections. The bosses are memorable, the variety of situations keeps the pace engaging, and the cyberpunk setting adds the final touch. However, it remains a short and simple experience, more notable for its stylish intensity than depth. Like a modern arcade session, it offers an hour of frantic fun. While not particularly memorable, it’s a game that justifies the time spent—quick, straightforward, and full of personality.

    Cuisineer
    Cuisineer is an interesting suggestion that manages to combine the dungeon crawling and business management genres. More than that, the game brings a competent and accessible mix, with very good production – except when it comes to loading screens – and enjoyable gameplay. Unfortunately, those who enjoy more complete experiences will find little motivation in the story and mechanics to advance.

    Secrets of Blackrock Manor - Escape Room
    The puzzles in Secrets of Blackrock Manor: Escape Room really get your brain working. They're arbitrary and rely much more on our ability to associate symbols, colors, and numbers than on the environment or narrative context. The story is there to add a little extra flavor, but its role is secondary, as the true protagonists are the puzzles. In the end, it's a fun and unpretentious game that simply wants to give us a few hours of pleasure in unraveling the logic behind each room in an old mansion.

    Scars Above
    Scars Above is an ambitious game that tries to balance action, exploration, and storytelling into a cohesive experience. While it’s not perfect, it manages to deliver an engaging adventure that stands out for its intelligent protagonist and creative use of scientific elements.

    Neva: Prologue
    Neva: Prologue returns to the original universe by portraying the beginning of the bond between Alba and the young wolf, preserving the agile combat, challenging platforming, and striking art direction—now with a darker tone. The new puzzle ideas and enemies add variety and increase the difficulty; however, they are underexplored due to the short length. Although it delivers intense and visually impactful moments, the sense of more of the same and its brevity lessen its overall impact. Even so, it is a recommended expansion for those who wish to revisit this story from a new perspective.

    Captain Wayne - Vacation Desperation
    Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation delivers exactly what it promises: an over-the-top, fast-paced, and personality-filled boomer shooter. Its deliberately grotesque aesthetic, combined with absurd humor and fast-paced combat, creates an experience that doesn't try to reinvent the genre, but celebrates it enthusiastically.

    Irem Collection Volume 3
    Irem Collection Volume 3 features three excellent games that didn't receive much attention upon their release, nor were they ported to the most popular consoles of the time. It would be nice to have more information about them, but having them together in a collection is already a compelling feature. Shooter fans who enjoy new interpretations of the genre will definitely enjoy this edition.

    MACROSS -Shooting Insight-
    MACROSS -Shooting Insight- has good ideas and execution flaws, but the fact that it carries the name of a classic franchise ended up becoming a burden, even with the Gallery full of cool collectibles, the main one, which was to emphasize combat with the different forms of the mecha, ended up lacking and the constant change of perspectives is an example of something good that was used in a bad way.

    Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter
    Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter makes up for it with its impressive combat, detailed visuals, interesting medieval fantasy with animals and a narrative that heightens the atmosphere. However, the game fails to build on the achievements of its predecessor and suffers from superficial systems, bland level design, unnecessary backtracking and repetitive and unbalanced fights. The new epic of the rat kingdom may please with what it has good, but it will not impress those who played the first one.

    Marvel's Spider-Man 2
    Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 disappoints in its long-awaited debut on PC, delivering an adventure that falls short of the expectations created since its launch on PS5. As fun as the sequel to the saga of Peter Parker and Miles Morales is, the poor work of adaptation to the new platform prevents a broader recommendation until its most basic problems are resolved and the performance delivered is within expectations for different hardware configurations.

    Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator
    After the trauma of its police counterpart, I was skeptical about what Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator could offer. To my surprise, even with the repetitive mission structure, it was quite fun to learn the different types of first aid that paramedics can provide in the most unusual situations. A little more polish in the visuals and bug fixes would make this emergency response team ready for any situation.

    Lovish
    Lovish is a pleasant retro-style experience built around simple controls, brisk levels, and light humor, delivering a competent 2D adventure with a fair number of secrets for players who enjoy exploring off the beaten path. However, it is also a limited and occasionally repetitive game, with many sections failing to leave a lasting impression and rarely pushing beyond the basics. Optional challenges and hidden content help soften these issues but don’t fundamentally elevate the experience. Ultimately, Lovish is a fun and well-executed journey that succeeds at what it sets out to do, even if it never truly stands out.

    METAL SUITS: Counter-attack
    METAL SUITS: Counterattack is a fun game for those looking for some casual entertainment. The armor system stands out, the dynamics of the levels are engaging in the first few hours, and the visuals are charming. The problem is that the pace doesn't keep up, with levels that drag on without bringing much new information. It's worth checking out on a good sale, especially for those who intend to play in short doses.

    Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss
    Without resorting solely to superficial mythological elements, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss does a decent job of structuring its experience around investigative gameplay while also exploring the thematic dichotomy between a logical approach to often illogical cosmic events. While this may not be particularly original within the genre, finding such a consistent execution is still far from common.

    Dead Dragons
    Dead Dragons bases itself in classic RPG elements to offer a simple but entertaining experience. Though the title has considerable limitations in some aspects, for those who have already explored everything in the genre and are always looking for new adventures, there'll be enough content to have some good hours of fun.

    Alter Age
    Alter Age is a competent RPG and it manages to entertain with a functional combat system and an age change mechanic that adds a touch of originality to the gameplay. Beyond that, though the plot isn't so interesting, the interactions of the three main characters are fun and end up balancing this weak point.

    EDENS ZERO
    While boss battles offer more exhilarating and challenging moments, the lack of greater refinement in its core systems, coupled with the absence of activities beyond battling and collecting chests, prevents Konami's title from truly standing out in an already saturated genre. For those unfamiliar with the original universe, the game might also not be the best entry point, as the fast-paced narrative makes emotional involvement with the characters difficult. Nevertheless, dedicated fans of Hiro Mashima's work and players seeking a simple adventure that follows some of the anime's main events will find an enjoyable journey here, albeit a lukewarm one in several aspects.
