    Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
    Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is an ambitious sequel that refines its identity without losing what makes it unique. The narrative is more accessible and emotional, the adventure offers more variety and a faster pace, and the technical aspects showcase what the PS5 can offer in terms of immersion and visual quality. It strikes a balance between delivery and action, silence and intensity, all guided by bold creative choices. However, it remains an experience that demands time and engagement. Those who didn’t connect with the original may face the same obstacles here. As a sequel, the game plays it safe, focusing more on improvements while maintaining the typical repetition. Nevertheless, for those approaching it with an open mind, there is much to explore, feel, and interpret. It may not appeal to everyone, but it will certainly leave something for those willing to journey through it.

    Outrider Mako
    Outrider Mako presents a striking visual proposal and an atmosphere inspired by Japanese mythology, which grabs attention right from the start. The delivery of items to gods and the use of Red Nectar in combat introduce creative ideas, but the shallow execution falls short. Additionally, the repetition of maps and mechanics makes the experience tiresome over time, despite offering some fun moments here and there. Still, it may appeal to those who enjoy a more laid-back adventure, with plenty of style and a unique atmosphere.

    System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster
    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.

    Juufuutei Raden's Guide for Pixel Museum
    Juufuutei Raden's Guide for Pixel Museum adjusts the classic nonogram presentation as a museum exhibition, exploring cultural aspects from the West and Japan alike besides presenting some of the VTuber's personal tastes. Though the Picross S line offers more variety, the package here is very elegant and manages to use its details to elevate the experience beyond the basics.

    Klaus Lee - Thunderballs
    Klaus Lee: Thunderballs isn't the kind of game that offers bold proposals, but it does a great job of delivering a competent challenge with a more retro feel. However, it may not be as easy to digest for younger players, who weren't forged with the punishing adventures of an older era of video games.

    Rematch
    Presenting a very innovative game proposal, Rematch simplifies the rules of soccer to offer an intense and fun experience. Without throw-ins or fouls, but with lots of dribbling and artistic plays, we have here a game focused on competitive online matches. Although this focus exposes some problems, the title has enough qualities and the promise of important new features, deserving a chance to be added to your library.

    Shuffle Tactics
    Shuffle Tactics is a solid strategy game, despite its shortcomings. The wide variety of cards and amulets provides engaging gameplay options that can entertain for several hours. However, the title lacks a truly distinctive feature that would allow it to stand out within the genre. Its core mechanics evolve very little throughout the campaign, and the experience tends to become repetitive due to slow progression and unbalanced difficulty.

    Lies of P: Overture
    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.

    Dragon is Dead
    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.

    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.

    Crown Gambit
    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.

    FBC: Firebreak
    FBC: Firebreak is an honest attempt by Remedy to bring something new to its portfolio, exploring an already established IP with a fresh approach. However, I feel the game falls short by being so simple and shallow that, after just a few sessions, the desire to re-enter those crisis scenarios fades due to the mechanical and visual repetition of the entire universe. Still, it’s gratifying to see a major studio taking a chance on new ideas that step outside its comfort zone — even if they don’t always work.

    TRON: Catalyst
    TRON: Catalyst is a visually stylish game that respects the essence of the franchise and delivers an interesting narrative, especially for fans of the TRON universe. However, the gameplay experience falls short of its potential. The combat is functional but simplistic; the glitch mechanic, despite being promising, is underutilized; exploration is shallow, with no real incentives, and the main campaign is short and lacking in challenge.

    Ruffy and the Riverside
    Ruffy and the Riverside is a good foray into the 3D platform genre, standing out for its well-done aesthetic mix and a useful central mechanic of swapping textures to alter the world, solve puzzles, progress through the campaign and obtain the dozens of collectibles available. These two aspects are the game's high points and, although its potential for experimentation is not fully realized, they make for a unique, enjoyable and fun experience.

    Stellar Blade x Goddess of Victory: Nikke
    Consolidating its success in the market, the DLC Stellar Blade x Goddess of Victory: Nikke adds even more quality to the base game. The new shooting missions are a lot of fun, fitting perfectly into Eve's arsenal. The same goes for the new cosmetics, which are among the most beautiful in her closet. Even though it takes a while for us to be able to access such attractions, we have here a collaboration that is practically mandatory for fans of these two games.

    Architect Life: A House Design Simulator
    Architect Life: A House Design Simulator works — and that’s the long and short of it. There is no secret behind these four walls: it is simply a house-building simulator that, despite probably running better than leviathan The Sims 4 in certain computers, doesn’t present a lot of variety beyond that. It is worth it for those looking for a relaxing title, but consider comparing it to other options in the market.

    Chronicles of the Wolf
    Chronicles of the Wolf gets almost everything right in what it sets out to do. Despite its clear inspiration from Castlevania, it manages to establish its own identity, delivering a challenging, lengthy game filled with secrets and a thunderous soundtrack. For better or worse, it’s a classic adventure against darkness just like in the old days — and certainly one of the best of its kind.

    Projected Dreams
    Projected Dreams is a curious puzzle of light and shadows and it's possible to notice the team's effort in making it so each chapter brought a new gimmick to add variety to the challenges. However, the way the game handles physics and how it limits object control is frustrating and there are many issues that make it not a highlight within the genre.

    AI Limit
    Although the anime aesthetic is eye-catching at first glance, AI Limit delivers functional but reductionist gameplay, quickly becoming exploitable as the player masters the parry system. The result, as a whole, lacks consistency and identity, stuck in a gray and overly protocolary approach within its genre. It may still have some value to the niche audience it's trying to reach, but it's still a factually forgettable bureaucratic experience that fails to stand out from the crowd.

    Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game
    The idea behind Rooftops & Alleys is creative and applied in an interesting way. However, the combination of repetitiveness and some control flaws end up damaging the game's qualities. Even so, it might be worth giving it a chance to venture through vertical landscapes while performing risky maneuvers, but be careful not to fall off a building by mistake.

    Perennial Dusk -Kinsenka-
    Perennial Dusk -Kinsenka- is an aesthetically pleasant visual novel and offers an interesting premise. However, the plot is handled poorly in rhythm and quality, making it easier to recommend other games in the genre.

    Star Overdrive
    While Star Overdrive reaps the rewards of its bold proposal, it also suffers in some areas. The results are more than positive, with an engaging adventure full of exploration through fun surfing, as well as cool special abilities, great for solving puzzles and explore this enchanting world. Other elements fell short and limited the overall experience, but it is still worth checking out, especially for those who enjoy an original and refreshing game.

    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.
