    Hazelight has nailed it once again with Split Fiction. I was hooked on the adventure from start to finish, full of fun, creative and impactful moments, all with impressive polish. Each new idea presented left me excited to continue and discover how far the game would go, always accompanied by impeccable graphics and sound. Split Fiction will stay with me for a long time, being one of those unique experiences that remind me why I love video games so much.

    Knights in Tight Spaces offers a creative approach to combining tactical strategy and deckbuilding in dynamic and claustrophobic combat. Despite an engaging combat system, the lack of diversity in challenges can make the journey predictable over time. Still, for those who enjoy strategic battles and deckbuilding mechanics, the game offers rewarding moments, especially when mastering positioning and emerging unscathed from seemingly impossible situations.

    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.

    The questionable camera, technical limitations and issues inherited from the original releases don't allow this collection to be a definitive remaster. Even so, for fans of the genre and those who want to know Lara Croft's darkest era, the collection is worth it.

    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.

    Never 7 - The End of Infinity is a complicated and uncomfortable reading that's only worth it for those who love visual novels (or Kotaro Uchikoshi's works) and has an interest in the genre's history: there are good things in the end of the horribly tiring line, but up to then, it's necessary to be very patient. The mistreatment of the remasterization and localization also doesn't do any favors to the material, which is already weak at many points from the start.

    For the creativity involved and the fun it provides, Two Point Museum certainly deserves to be in the pantheon of the best simulators of all time, crowning the Two Point trilogy with what can be considered its most ambitious game to date. Inventive, relaxed and challenging, this is a title recommended both for those who are just getting to know the franchise and for those who have been following it since its inception, a few good years ago in a certain very crazy hospital.

    Warriors: Abyss is like a tasty fast food game — nothing extraordinary, but satisfying for a quick bite. The visuals are dated, the story is unexciting, and the production clearly sought the most economical path. Still, the game captivates with the pleasure of testing different characters and builds as we progress through the underworld.

    Chibi Ninja Shino-Kun: Treasure of Demon Tower makes no secret of the fact that it was made to be straight-to-the-point fun, especially for those who enjoy challenges that escalate quickly. Of course, some gameplay improvements would be welcome, but even so, the dwarf shinobi walks right in step with the big guys.

    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.

    Monster Hunter Wilds represents an ambitious leap forward for the franchise, expanding its universe with a dynamic open world, innovative mechanics, and a level of immersion never before seen in the series. Despite the technical challenges, this is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable titles in the franchise, being both an excellent entry point for newcomers and a worthy experience for veteran hunters.

    X-Out: Resurfaced is a great game in its own right, but considering that many players may not know its origins, the chance to include the original title was something that could not be missed. However, the idea of bringing in the original composer to create modern versions of his work and modernize the visuals without disrespecting his original characterization gives a retro charm to this remake that may have a certain appeal with fans of the genre.

    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.

    The idea of Accolade Sports Collection focusing only on sports games is cool in theory, but in practice it has proven to be very weak. The idea is to emulate the games as they were at the time they were released, it is not vital to improve gameplay, but the titles chosen fall far short of several other collections, including those released by QUBYte itself. All in all, this is perhaps a compilation to leave in the background, even if you are a big nostalgic for gems from the past.

    Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 plants the seeds to yet another excellent teen drama and mystery by Don’t Nod: authentic, fun, intimate and intriguing, the title naturally navigates complex themes and teenage conversations, showing the studio's tremendous evolution. If things remain this way on Tape 2, we will definitely have a new classic of the adventure genre in our hands.

    Rift of the NecroDancer stands out as an excellent addition to the series, offering an addictive gameplay and memorable soundtrack. Supporting community track creation, there's great potential for longevity and new experiences in the future.

    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.

    Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is a solid entry into a series of text-based adventures. As a standalone, the game is competent, but its open-ended conclusion and minor details weaken its impact.

    It takes a certain amount of creativity to make your management simulator stand out from the crowd in a genre that has been so badly misfired over the years. Blood Bar Tycoon even gets there in this conceptual aspect, but it proves that a cool idea alone is not enough. What was missing was a more solid execution of the proposal, which has difficulty developing amidst so many technical problems and creative decisions.

    Recall: Empty Wishes is a high-quality narrative adventure that delivers an engaging mystery and, in an assertive way, offers simplified gameplay that adds variation to navigation moments without interrupting the rhythm of the plot. With great mastery in the presentation of visual and sound elements, the title delivers an immersive experience that deserves to be experienced.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip is an interesting, funny and charismatic adventure, but it lacks in key points of exploration, and is also very short. It’s a great option for those who want something more to laugh and relax with instead of doing more intense searches.

    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.

    Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is a modest but worthy farewell to a series that has always been humble. The concise campaign focuses on what works and gets straight to the point, with a good pace of exploration and progression, but its basic metroidvania mechanics fail to impress, both in the simplistic traversal abilities and in the merely satisfactory combat. Fortunately, the aesthetics refine the visuals with good effects, making this a game that, despite being unpretentious, is fun, enjoyable and very beautiful.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The Alchemist & His Battle-Scarred Homunculus is a visual novel that stands out for the quality of its writing and the development of its characters. It is a game that deals with serious themes in a respectful and well-executed manner, without resorting to excessive drama.Despite some technical issues, such as the lack of variety in the scenarios and a rather unmemorable soundtrack, the relationship between Rakels and Mel is worth knowing for those who enjoy slice-of-life romances with a touch of fantasy.
