    RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army
    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. The linear structure, unintuitive exploration, and shallow use of investigation show that the game could have taken more risks in certain aspects. Nonetheless, the balance between nostalgia and renewal works: RAIDOU Remastered is a great opportunity to revisit — or experience for the first time — a unique and intriguing chapter of the Shin Megami Tensei universe.

    Awita: Journey of Hope
    Awita: Journey of Hope is visually beautiful and delivers responsive controls and fluid animations. In other words, it has the solid skeleton of a good metroidvania, but it lacks substance to cover those thin bones. The lack of content in terms of systems, level design and items is further mitigated by its short length, as the game ends before the player gets tired of it. Without something to compensate for its shortcomings, there is nothing to make it reach the average of the genre.

    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege X
    Rainbow Six Siege X represents an important milestone in the game's history, cementing the franchise's longevity with a combination of technical modernization, the inclusion of new content, and a more open access model to the public. The graphical improvements, the audio refinement, and the arrival of the new Dual Front mode show that Ubisoft is committed to keeping the game relevant in a competitive market, even after 10 years of activity.

    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition
    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition succeeds in its mission to revitalize the 2011 cult classic for a new generation. However, the simplistic nature of this remaster prevents it from being strongly recommended and may frustrate those who expected a more polished experience that is closer, graphically speaking, to its acclaimed sequel.

    Elden Ring Nightreign
    Elden Ring Nightreign is an experience that, while sharing similarities with the main game, sets itself apart in subtle ways. It’s a distilled version of the massive 2022 title, but its greatest strengths lie in its fast-paced combat, shorter runtime, and high-speed gameplay. It offers an engaging challenge for veterans, while also serving as a great entry point for those who don’t want to deal with the monumental scale of FromSoftware’s larger works.

    The Alters
    The idea of mixing strategic management with existential drama and science fiction results in a game that will demand both the player's technical and social skills. This is where my perception of it being a weird subversion of a farm simulator, such as Story of Seasons, comes into play. It's just that instead of planting turnips, milking cows and trying to woo some of the village's bachelorettes (or bachelors), we have to mine an inhospitable planet, maintain a functional mobile base and prevent alternative versions of ourselves from killing each other. In short, The Alters can be as welcoming as it is irritating — but it is also unique in its own way.

    Date Everything!
    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.

    Disney Illusion Island Starring Mickey & Friends
    Looking at its basic premise, Disney Illusion Island Starring Mickey & Friends does a great job. Its metroidvania-style platform adventure that works well, with a top-notch production and fun challenges. The problem is that there are some issues that harm the experience for both kids (Brazilians mostly) and (especially) for other audiences. I leave this recommendation for platform fans and lovers of this beloved corner of the Disney universe.

    Lost in Random: The Eternal Die
    Lost in Random: The Eternal Die offers a solid formula that blends intense action with elements of luck in a dark and stylized universe. The striking setting, variety of weapons, and customization options provide enjoyable moments throughout the campaign. The combat stands out for being fast-paced and challenging, and although the dice mechanics aren’t as influential as promised, there’s still room to experiment with different battle approaches. However, the experience is limited by repetitive environments and enemies, as well as a progression system that’s less deep than it seems. The unpredictability hinted at by the theme rarely has a significant impact on gameplay, diminishing the player's decisions. Still, while it lasts, The Eternal Die offers an engaging journey, appreciated for its aesthetic and pace, even if it doesn't take as many risks as it could have.

    South of Midnight
    South of Midnight is an experience that unfolds like a fireside fable: intimate, full of symbols, charged with memories. For those seeking something different, something that whispers rather than screams, this is a journey worth experiencing.

    Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Battle Destiny Remastered
    Brings a fair action experience and nothing more than that. There are many polish issues and a campaign that cuts down the narrative to focus on a combat that's jankier than it should be. It's still possible to have fun with the game, especially for those who know the saga and just want to turn off the brain with giant robot battles, but there are better options in the market for those looking for good action experiences.

    Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3
    Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3 represents the peak of an emotional story and preserves the quality of its predecessors, with an engaging narrative, strategic combat, and the ability to evoke a wide range of emotions in short periods of time. While the new features aren’t particularly groundbreaking, they add an interesting dynamic to the gameplay, allowing for more varied approaches throughout the campaign. Even so, there's a lingering feeling that these elements could have been more ambitious, making this sequel more memorable.

    F1 25
    F1 25 cements Codemasters as the absolute reference for ensuring the existence of the official Formula 1 game, offering a technical, immersive and accessible experience like few others in the genre. The game not only refines the already established foundations of the franchise, but also dares to incorporate innovations that increase realism and player engagement.

    Tiebreak: The Official Game of the ATP and WTA
    TIEBREAK+'s plus may have been timid and even a bit lacking in terms of structure, but it made up for it with its content. It's a real treat for fans of the sport, and the historical game modes in which features Djokovic, Sharapova, and the rivalry between Federer and Nadal are a great way to introduce tennis to younger players who want to get to know the greats of the court a little better.

    Chessarama
    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.

    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.

    Blacksmith Master
    Blacksmith Master has significant potential and, for an early access title, enough content and quality to be recommended. After hours of gameplay, I hope to see additions like magic, diverse races, and even a minimal narrative implemented. As for the mechanics, adjustments are needed — such as rebalancing the quality coins system or revising the progression. Overall, the core works very well, and with further refinement, I believe the game could become a polished gem in the future. [Early Access Score = 75]

    The Siege and the Sandfox
    To appreciate The Siege and the Sandfox, you need to keep in mind that almost everything in it is focused on building atmosphere and narrative and stealth gameplay. The “stealthvania” approach is legitimate, but the simple mechanics and laborious navigation through the levels do not contribute to making its execution worthwhile. I recommend it to those who want to appreciate beautiful aesthetics and immerse themselves in a fantasy from the Arabian Nights while listening to a lovely narrator who accompanies each step of the journey.

    Little Kitty, Big City
    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.

    Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time
    FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time is a cynical idea of what makes cozy games so popular, so laser-focused on visual appeal it forgets to offer anything that makes spending time alongside it worthwhile over seeking out any of the several titles it poorly copies. The old “style over substance” adage has never been this real: it may look cute and have a handful of good jokes, but nothing can satiate the enormous black void of fun and purpose at the heart of the experience.

    Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma
    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.

    Nordhold
    Nordhold is a bold take on the turn-based strategy genre, bringing together elements of tower defense and roguelite. Its more measured pace and focus on meticulous planning require dedication and patience from the player, especially in the first few hours. Although the learning curve and slow progression may put off those looking for immediate results, those who persist will find a rewarding experience, rich in tactical possibilities and customization.

    Trash Goblin
    Split Milk Studios Ltd has chosen to greatly simplify the mechanics of Trash Goblin in order to appeal to a casual audience. The game offers a cozy atmosphere and a satisfying sense of progression, even without the usual pressure found in management-focused titles. On the other hand, these design choices can lead to a gameplay experience that becomes repetitive and, at times, monotonous. Nevertheless, the overall result is positive, and Trash Goblin stands out as a solid option for those seeking a light and laid-back pastime.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown
    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown really nails the pacing within the tactics genre, prioritizing a more aggressive combat style that feels like a dance when you’re able to quickly execute strategies and leverage each hero’s strengths. On the other hand, it’s a game that would benefit greatly from more polished visual details. It’s a highly experimental project that works well at its core but has plenty of room to grow.

    Islands & Trains
    Even though it's not a revolutionary game, Islands & Trains has many strengths that can attract casual players. Its simple gameplay and cozy atmosphere offer a sense of relief and fun after a long, tiring day. Many of its limitations could be addressed through updates, and I hope they happen so the game doesn't quickly fade into obscurity.

    Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo
    Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo delivers a creative and charming experience, blending clever puzzles, rewarding exploration, and a versatile combat system. The inventive use of the yoyo as both a weapon and a tool keeps gameplay dynamic, while the world of New Jolt City — with its charismatic characters, cultural references, and retro aesthetic — builds a unique and memorable universe. Despite a few rough edges, the game stands out for its originality and the relaxed, playful way it tells its story.

    to a T
    to a T is a love letter to humanity and to the differences that make us so special. Its absurd sense of humor goes hand in hand with this passion for the unique, delivering an experience that makes you grin from ear to ear. It is, without a doubt, a perfect example of why Keita Takahashi’s dreamlike worldview is so beloved around the globe; exploring the T-shaped world of Young, Dog, and company is more than worth it.

    Pirates VR: Jolly Roger
    Pirates VR: Jolly Roger offers a colorful and charming slice of pirate fantasy with lush environments, light puzzle-solving, and rewarding exploration, but its shallow combat, technical inconsistencies, and short runtime keep it from fully delivering on its potential; while enjoyable for a brief escape into a swashbuckling world, the lack of mechanical depth and polish makes it feel more like a playful VR detour than a truly immersive adventure built for the medium.

    Scar-Lead Salvation
    Scar-Lead Salvation falters with something that could have been great and delivers a very weak experience. Although it is a game with quite competent controls, the whole thing is compromised by the lack of creativity with enemies, story and levels, which are based on an eternal loop that leaves even the protagonist tired.

    Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo
    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.
