With its revamped stealth mechanics and refined aesthetics, Directive 8020 offers a clear evolution of the genre, but continues to reaffirm some of the limitations, particularly in terms of interaction, inherited from the first season of the anthology. With excellent references, the story (along with the excellent work of the cast) remains its best quality, with good pacing, great development, and important turning points that, while not escaping old cliches, still work very well.

Invincible VS is a great fighting game with simple controls, but packed with mechanics. It's not easy to master it and will probably appeal more to those who want to delve deeper into its gameplay. The story mode is simple and there are other basic single-player modes, while the online mode does its job. However, the number of characters leaves a little to be desired for a 3v3 game.

PowerWash Simulator 2 could be described as "just a standard sequel", as it takes the first game as a basis and refines some of its aspects while adding a handful of new features. The target audience might be restricted, but the "ding" which confirms each objective has been fully cleaned is still as addictive and will sate your OCD.

Saros masterfully delivers on everything it sets out to do. Although the game doesn't yet have any extra content to enjoy after the ending, it manages to entertain the player for a long time simply through the curiosity of testing all types of weapons and searching for audio recordings of past crews. Saros is the kind of homework a student is proud to show to the teacher.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is a great compilation of games that deserve to be remembered by fans of the classic Capcom character. Featuring a good evolution of the Battle Network gameplay and delivering some of the best narratives in the series, there's a lot to enjoy here.

Aware of its ambitions, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire avoids delving too deeply into complex mechanics or sophisticated exploration and progression structures, but there's no doubt it manages to blend the "rubber hose" aesthetic with the creation of an undeniably immersive noir atmosphere. The audiovisual excellence, which articulates a spectacular sound design with cohesive art direction, underpins a solid first-person shooter - even if its gameplay is not very innovative - finding a good balance between inspiration and originality.

Hades II is a masterpiece in every sense. A game that not only improves upon everything that made the original special, but also expands the combat and adds even more content that rewards players' dedication. With virtually flawless execution, it not only establishes itself as one of the best titles in the genre, but becomes a must-have for every video game fan.

Pragmata is a great Capcom game with a good story and unusual, yet very functional gameplay. The length is ideal in some ways, and there are many extras to enjoy. In the end, the only criticism is that the game as a whole becomes repetitive in combat after you get the hang of it.

Even though the price is far from adequate for such a late release, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach on PC is a great port of one of the best sequels ever made by Kojima Productions.

Excellent in many aspects, with great atmosphere, fun combat, a constant sense of discovery and novelty on an absurd scale, Crimson Desert is one of the best open-world experiences of this generation. Some problems don't detract from the brilliance of a title that always rewards the time invested and makes the player want to play more whenever possible.

Starfield seems to have suffered from a kind of misguided expectation syndrome two years ago when it was released, but it is definitely a true masterpiece waiting to be discovered. While it may not be perfect, especially in terms of freedom of exploration, minor graphical glitches, and fluidity of navigation between worlds, the excellent balance between precise gameplay, resource management and crafting, and a dense narrative for those with the maturity the genre demands, makes this game a true spectacle on many levels.

Life is Strange: Reunion is a good game in the series, but it plays it too safe. The gameplay is great - like going back in time with Max and the parts with Chloe. The voice acting is amazing. But the story isn't the emotional rollercoaster the series is known for - from beginning to end it's like a stroll in the park on a Sunday afternoon.

The Occultist succeeds greatly in its atmosphere, narrative construction, and the way it uses first-person horror to create constant tension and truly effective scares. The setting of Godstone and the mystery surrounding the protagonist are engaging enough to keep the player invested from beginning to end. However, the underutilization of some important mechanics, the lack of a functional map, and limitations such as the absence of chapter selection prevent it from reaching an even higher level. Still, it's a solid and memorable experience within the genre.

Darwin's Paradox! excels in its impeccable art direction, the protagonist's charisma, and the creative approach of alternating gameplay both in and out of the water, in addition to delivering a fun narrative with memorable cutscenes. On the other hand, the uneven difficulty, especially in the second half, and the decision to make certain challenges mandatory that could be optional end up hurting the pacing and generating unnecessary frustration. Still, it's a remarkable and personality-filled experience, worthwhile mainly for its visuals and originality.

GRIME II succeeds greatly in expanding gameplay freedom, offering an extremely well-constructed world, and rewarding players who dedicate themselves to exploration and learning combat. The variety of approaches and intelligent level design significantly enhance the experience, but technical problems, such as persistent bugs, and some excesses — mainly in length and dialogue — prevent it from reaching an even higher level. Still, it's an ambitious and memorable sequel within the genre.

Marvel MaXimum Collection revives an important chapter in the history of the publisher's adaptations prior to their rise to popularity in theaters, featuring six games with the strengths and limitations typical of their era. While the selection is interesting, the quality-of-life features could be more generous, as seen in other similar initiatives. On the other hand, the curation of supplementary material is exemplary, making the package a great option, especially for those who have an emotional connection to the works and the generation to which they belong.

Screamer is an extremely pleasant surprise in a genre that currently receives few releases. The gameplay is complex, but the game is entirely dedicated to gradually introducing the player to its mechanics and its world. Fans of arcade-style racing should give the title a chance, not only because of the few releases in the genre, but because it's a great game.

New Super Lucky's Tale remains an excellent platformer with simple yet functional gameplay, fun and vibrant levels, and an exciting soundtrack. The PS5 version features minor improvements that make the experience even smoother, making it a highly recommended title for all fans of the genre.

Ariana and the Elder Codex is fun to pass the time, but the tedious dialogue breaks the rhythm too much. Although it has interesting gameplay, it's recommended for those who really want to delve into the story and have the patience for it.

Marathon is special within its own universe and shows how Bungie continues to deliver high-quality first-person shooters over decades. It still needs slight refinements and more content over time to remain consistently interesting, but its release is a huge success.

Tales of Berseria remains one of the most emblematic and darkest chapters in the franchise, with a mature plot that inverts traditional roles by placing us in the shoes of villains and a combat system that may superficially seem simple, but brings a good layer of complexity. The quality-of-life improvements in this version make the experience more fluid and adapted to current standards, although the need for this remaster is questionable for those who already own the PS4 version.

Dark Deity 2 is an excellent strategy RPG that delivers a strong sense of nostalgia while also bringing enough new features to its gameplay to maintain a modern feel. Its combat shines, and the story, despite some minor flaws, holds up very well throughout the journey, making the title an excellent choice for those who enjoy the genre.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins - Visions of Four Heroes is a good DLC for fans of the base game and the genre, bringing new scenarios, weapons, and companions that will please veterans. Its amount of content more than justifies its existence, even if the price is a bit steep.

Perhaps John Carpenter's Toxic Commando is far from offering anything new in a market already quite saturated with cooperative shooters for up to four people against demonic enemies. But this may be its greatest virtue, as the game refines everything that came before and, as a result, offers a light, balanced and an enjoyable adventure, especially playing alongside good friends.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is the definitive experience of one of the 2003 horror classics. With enhanced graphics, new mechanics, high replayability, and a story that offers significant weight for players, the title establishes itself as one of the best games in the franchise by far.

Maintaining the structure that made the series famous and without abandoning its roots, while also evolving within what it used to become different as a spin-off, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is an excellent game and the high point of the trilogy. Although it lacks a slight refinement in parts of its gameplay, it's a worthwhile title for any Monster Hunter fan.

As a huge pleasure to play, Minishoot' Adventures builds a very fun gameplay loop that is intuitive and very efficient in everything it sets out to do. With a well-designed world to explore, many secrets to discover, upgrades to strengthen yourself, and options to adjust the difficulty of the intense bullet hell combat, it's a delightful experience that focus on what it does best.

Without reinventing the formula, WWE 2K26 shows that the franchise has reached an exemplary level of maturity among sports games. The subtle gameplay improvements, the inclusion of new fight types, the exciting Showcase starring CM Punk, and the good replayability of MyRISE make this one of the most complete editions in the series. Despite this, monetization practices continue to plague fans, especially those who want to get the most out of the title.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered reanimates the final chapter of the saga starring Raziel, with new features that go beyond a new coat of paint and help make it a more accessible and pleasant experience than it originally was. At its core, however, it's still the same game from two decades ago.

Whether playing solo or co-op, Scott Pilgrim EX is a positive addition to the beat'em up genre. The title shines with its diverse characters, pixel art graphics, excellent soundtrack, and gameplay which, despite being simple, is functional and fun to master. A must-have game for fans of the series and the genre, but also a great entry point for beginners.

Resident Evil Requiem is an excellent game, taking the best elements from the Resident Evil 2 and 4 remakes. The gameplay is great, the graphics are superb, and the atmosphere is outstanding. The only downsides are the bittersweet story and the lack of extra modes.

ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard uses simple magnetic color mechanics to create puzzles that, while not impressive, at least maintain interest. The same goes for its satirical story about labor relations, in which we play as a tester trapped in a leonine contract of dangerous experiments and are guided by the very well-voiced sadistic bosses. For those who have trouble visualizing the colors, there is an accessibility option that uses symbols on the puzzle objects.

Avowed leans on exploration and combat to deliver a highly enjoyable action RPG experience. Even though it simplifies some mechanics a bit too much, the game makes up for it with a solid story and a well-crafted world, making it especially recommended for fantasy fans who value adventure, freedom to explore, and a more straightforward pace, without unnecessary excesses.

As a complete game, Ys X: Proud Nordics is among the best in the series. As a re-release, however, it leaves much to be desired.

Super Bomberman Collection offers plenty of simple, straightforward fun, whether for a solo player, two players in the campaign, or even four in competitive battles. It features five classic games with useful quality-of-life tools, all beautifully packaged in an impeccable presentation that showcases their history with plenty of extra content, including two NES games as bonuses.

Lil Gator Game: Gator of the Year Edition offers in one package the charismatic main campaign and the In the Dark DLC. Even though the expansion doesn't bring significant changes to the gameplay, it doubles the playtime while maintaining the same playfulness of an epic make-believe play, takes us to an entirely new region, and increases the repertoire of movements with great agility, further transforming that world into a huge and lively playground.

REANIMAL represents a visceral and larger-scale evolution of the formula established by Tarsier Studios in Little Nightmares. While the title disappoints due to its brevity, it shines through its world design, which utilizes visual communication to guide the player organically through an intriguing horror universe. The experience is further elevated by an exemplary cooperative mode, featuring accessible options like Friend's Pass and local co-op.

Even underutilizing the rich narrative universe from which it borrows iconic characters, BlazBlue Entropy Effect X is simply brilliant, overcoming the sameness that the roguelite genre has been sinking into in recent years by betting on a sharp, dynamic, and adaptive gameplay system. The diversity of characters and the cycle of entry and exit strike a rare balance between temporary bonuses and permanent improvements, which becomes a genuine invitation to an adventure that, within the precepts of the genre, knows how to seduce, keep interest high, and reward the player.

Combining ingenious ideas with practical simplicity, Lovish has dozens of short stages that need to be played multiple times to uncover their various secrets. The vibrant music, the cynical comedy of playing as a petty knight, and the many references to the video games universe add extra charm to an adventure that is charismatic, silly, and will appeal to fans of retro action platformers.

As the second Christmas title in the series, Hidden Cats in Christmas has different settings from its predecessor's and expands to all the scenes the mechanic of gradually coloring the completed sections. This has an ambivalent effect: it can be helpful in difficult moments, but it also ends up making the game too easy overall. In the end, Nukearts maintains the standard we already know and delivers another fun, relaxing, and well-made example in the unpretentious world of hidden cat games.

Crisol: Theater of Idols is a good game with an interesting setting, beautiful graphics, and cool ideas, such as the combat system. However, it draws too much inspiration from established titles, especially Resident Evil 4.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a remake that retains only a small essence of the original work. Despite being quite faithful to the story, some script decisions leave something to be desired, and the secondary content, with the exception of Daddy Rank, goes from something new to just "more of the same." Dark Ties is an interesting addition, but it could also have a better-developed story. On the other hand, the gameplay of both titles remains fluid and with fun new combat styles to master. The final experience is somewhat bittersweet, being a remake well below the original, but one that provides many hours of fun.

While far from perfect, My Hero Academia: All's Justice smooths out some of the rough edges seen in its two predecessors, presenting a simple yet polished combat system for this type of adaptation. With rich visuals and great fidelity to the original material, the game stumbles on minor details, such as the camera and environment interaction or complementary exploration modes, but none of this detracts from the genuine fun of experiencing firsthand the conclusion of one of the greatest cultural products of the last decade.

Nioh 3 evolves the series' formula with semi-open world maps and an even deeper and more dynamic combat system, maintaining challenging and highly satisfying encounters. Despite stumbles in the narrative, enemy repetition, and visual aspects, the gameplay remains the highlight of the experience, and should easily please fans of action RPGs.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is an incredible remake of a game that, despite criticism, always deserved more attention. From the excellent gameplay with the series' traditional DNA to the stupendous narrative, it's a must-play for fans of the genre.

Code Vein II is both an evolution in some aspects and a regression in others. The visual style gets lost amidst a problematic or unrefined engine for the genre. The story relies on good secondary characters, but offers very little beyond that. In the end, the open-world structure doesn't seem to have been the best decision for much of the design, and much of the game's quality lies in the simplified combat, even though there's a tremendous effort to make everything overly complex.

MIO: Memories in Orbit boasts spectacular visuals, a gigantic world, a unique atmosphere, and addictive gameplay. It demands patience and persistence, and not everyone will be able to handle the difficulty or the constant backtracking. But those who get into the spirit of it will find a profound, artistic, and memorable experience that easily ranks alongside the genre's greats.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon is an incredible success that puts the franchise back on track. With excellent combat, a (nearly) flawless story, and only a few technical issues that don't detract from the experience, it's a must-have game for fans of one of the best JRPG franchises of all time.

Without surprises or major creative innovations, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - From the Ashes is consistent with what the original game established, adding a new area fully connected to the theme of the third film and elevating a new character to protagonist status. With some interface tweaks, welcome additions among native and foreign enemies, and subtle changes in equipment management, the campaign maintains the same solid structure already known, and Pandora, even in flames, remains an incredible place to explore.

Honoring the legacy of the masterpiece it dares to adapt, Terminator 2D: NO FATE is an exceptional side-scrolling shooter, as well as a great adaptation that breaks the mold of average movie-based games. Its biggest problem stems from its best qualities, however, as it ends up being too short and economical in exploring the mechanics it creates, especially by limiting the passages where we can don the Terminator's synthetic skin.

With the recent update to the new generation, past performance issues are a thing of the past, allowing Yakuza Kiwami 2 to be enjoyed in its definitive form. While its story may not have the same impact as its predecessors, the famous blend of tension and chaotic fun that defines the essence of the series remains, making this an indispensable chapter.

Yakuza Kiwami is, without a doubt, one of the most faithful remakes ever developed. The title respects its origins while intelligently expanding the plot, delivering a much deeper and more cohesive experience. Playing it brings a mix of nostalgia and novelty. The structure of the PlayStation 2 original is still there, but with gameplay improvements that make the experience even more complete and fun. For those who have never played it, this is the definitive version. For everyone else, the new localization options are the perfect excuse to don Kiryu's gray suit once again.

Yakuza 0 remains the masterpiece that popularized the franchise in the West and the best entry point for new fans. The story of Kiryu and Majima in the 80s remains impeccable, with its eccentric and fun extra content. However, the Director's Cut is a bittersweet package: while the quality-of-life improvements are welcome and the new scenes enrich the plot, the Red Light Raid online mode is disappointing and the Brazilian Portuguese localization disappoints due to its lack of polish.

Kill It With Fire 2 may not be as innovative as its predecessor was a few years ago, but it finally unleashes its full chaotic and uncompromising potential, taking the war with the damned spiders to unexpected levels and insane worlds. While playing with others is the best way to enjoy this bizarre adventure, the experience can be rewarding for any player willing to let go of seriousness, overlook interface and physics details, and embrace the unabashed fun of the absurd.

Now it's the cats' turn to hide in Turkey. Hidden Cats in Istanbul travels to the border between Europe and Asia in another edition with hundreds of hidden cats to find in eight scenarios - an experience that, however simple and casual it may be, is well executed and relaxing.

Maintaining the excellent technical and narrative level of the base game, Pacific Drive: Whispers in the Woods dares to make a significant change in tone, becoming more frightening by evoking ideas and resources from good fantasy horror productions. The DLC adds an extra layer of challenge to the game's standard, and its content is robust and valuable, expanding and complementing this rich, innovative, and intriguing universe that deserves to be explored.

Zooseum is Two Point Museum from a quite different perspective, but it could have been developed more carefully so that its full potential could have been properly explored.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a good entry point for the franchise on PlayStation, even if it still has some old problems and lacks the surprise and impact of 2020. It remains a niche game, and the shift to a more traditional game structure isn't the best way to open up that market.

In its original form, Red Dead Redemption is nearly perfect in all its key aspects, such as narrative, gameplay, and artistic concept. The 2023 PS4 remaster was timid in updating definition and performance, but did enough to introduce it to a new generation and fill a gap for longtime fans. All of this is now confirmed by the native PlayStation 5 version, with its 4K at 60fps with HDR, things that seem like little – and in a way, they are – but which at least offer the most solid, beautiful, and stable experience possible for one of the greatest classics in gaming history.

With addictive combat, a cohesive story, and greater accessibility for players less keen on the experimental nature of the series' other titles, Octopath Traveler 0 delivers exactly what is expected of it as an entry point to the series. If you have never played the franchise, start here. If you have, prepare to see the formula perfected and a story that will be highly rewarding.

Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland is a great journey for lovers of good stories and for anyone who believes that video games can be a means to preserve human legacies and tell stories that go beyond mere mechanical repetition. It reminds us that as long as there are words to be spoken and stories to be told, no one is truly gone.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is pure nostalgia, embodied in one of the most fun beat'em ups of today. It's a must-have title for all generations of Marvel fans due to its huge variety of characters, combat system full of possibilities, and guaranteed fun thanks to a cooperative mode suitable for all ages.

A.I.L.A confirms Pulsatrix Studios as one of the most promising studios in the horror genre. With its approach of paying tribute to classic games while setting the story in a modern context, the title maintains constant suspense and offers an experience sure to please fans of this style.

Although it faces some issues with the sheer number of group management sections and story cutscenes, the entertaining way Dispatch narrates the rise and overcoming of differences by a team of unlikely heroes makes it one of the best products of the genre in recent years.

ARC Raiders may not be extremely innovative, but it's almost perfectly executed for the multiplayer environment. It has an interesting and fun premise, full of action and tension, and it serves as a benchmark, shaping part of what games of this style should be like in the future.

In a clearly more refined version compared to its original release, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is still heavy, cold, and brutal, knowing exactly what it intends to convey to its audience. The result of a complicated development process due to the context of its developers, it ends up reflecting an uninviting, almost old-fashioned pessimism, resulting in a deep, challenging, and complex game, but one that is also too raw and faithful to concepts that may not appeal to everyone.

Despite its simple and shallow storyline, SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide manages to charm with its fun and nostalgia.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a great collection of classic games. There are some notable absences, and the online experience is currently lacking. Input lag on the PS5 is also problematic. The fact that the price isnt very high on the Brazilian PS Store is undoubtedly a critical issue. However, these are all points that can be remedied through updates, which we hope will happen. If not, it's worth grabbing on sale to satisfy your nostalgia.

Without major innovations when compared to its predecessor, Anno 117: Pax Romana proves to be one of the best and most fun building and management experiences currently available. Even with a sometimes clunky interface, especially with the DualSense controller, it offers a very organic management and progression system with great visuals.

Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack is a great package with three JRPGs that are worth the time of any fan of the genre. It's a little less worthwhile for those who have already played them, but if you're still interested, you'll find here the definitive version of the journey of a very captivating protagonist.

Hidden Cats in Rio de Janeiro consistently maintains both the quality of the series and the unpretentious tendency of the hidden cats game genre. It's a lovely well-made and fun pastime, quite engaging in its detailed scenes and references that, for the most part, serve not only to represent the city of the title, but also various aspects of our Brazil.

Tales of Xillia is a good game in the saga and, although it didn't have the best return with this remaster, it stands out for its excellent gameplay, good performance, deep story, and great graphics. If you're not in a hurry to explore the world of Rieze Maxia, wait for a sale or look for other games in the series like Tales of Vesperia or Tales of Arise.

Godbreakers doesn't try to redefine the roguelite genre, but it brings satisfactory combat mechanics in an otherwise linear and repetitive journey. It's a more enjoyable experience when played in co-op with one or more friends.

With engaging gameplay and a progression system that constantly rewards players' efforts and planning, BALL x PIT shows that seemingly unlikely ideas can be transformed into excellent products when well executed.

Don't be fooled: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is a great game, but with few new features when considering only this new version. Hardcore fans will be happy with the addition - finally - of rollback netcode. But the new "World Stage" mode leaves something to be desired.

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is an exceptional remake of two of the most important titles in JRPG history. Completely updated for modern times without losing their own identity, they are in no way inferior to similar (and inspired) current titles. Both deserve the attention and dedication of every good fan of the genre.

Probably the word that best describes Islets is "pleasant," which applies to everything this game offers. Even though it's a metroidvania without any major innovations or risks, the experience is always lovely and enjoyable, with humorous writing, competent and well-paced exploration, and good boss fights with bullet hell elements.

Technically, this Painkiller reboot is a great success, boasting beautiful visuals and mind-blowing, fluid, challenging, and energetic gameplay. Its biggest problem is that it resembles the current vision of DOOM more than its own origins, which has cost it its identity in favor of a more generic and shallow market vision.

Tormented Souls 2 gets the visuals right, but loses its soul. The title is still a good classic survival horror experience, and despite significant technical advancements, the script falters, and the story degenerates into something more generic until its final minutes.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is a bold new beginning for the series that brings a new dynamic to combat while still living up to the series' legacy. It may not be the Ninja Gaiden longtime fans were hoping for, but it's an excellent game and one of the best action titles of the generation.

Hidden Cats in Tokyo is the best title in the series, featuring the illustrations of playful creativity and much more content than its predecessors. It's lighthearted and simple fun, packed with interesting details that make it great for relaxing or enjoying with children.

No small flaw can detract from the invigorating brilliance of Bye Sweet Carole, a game that finds in its obvious inspirations the breath of creativity and identity that the horror genre so desperately needs. With mesmerizing art, sound, and animation, and a script full of subtleties and layers of insight, the point-and-click exploration and puzzle-solving mechanics serve a captivating protagonist well on her personal journey of self-discovery and growth.

Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is a fun crossover game, but limited as a fighting game in 2025. Still, for fans of the franchises, the RPG systems the game brings are functional and the fan service is pretty nice.

Just Dance 2026 Edition maintains the vibrant and fun essence that has made the franchise famous over the years, offering a solid selection of songs and choreography for all tastes, as well as significant technical improvements — such as the use of the smartphone camera as a full-body sensor. The return of Party Mode and creative partnerships reinforce Ubisoft's commitment to keeping the game relevant and inclusive. However, the lack of significant innovations can leave a feeling of repetition for veteran players. Even so, the game excels in its mission: providing accessible and energetic fun for those who love to dance.

Visually stunning and faithful to the series' atmospheric horror style, Little Nightmares III impresses with its aesthetics but lacks substance. The new title, although well-executed, suffers from its repetitive formula and lack of creative daring. The inclusion of online co-op is a welcome addition, but the absence of local co-op is unjustified. It is a good game, but it is far from a significant step forward for the franchise.

Earthion is a title aimed at a specific niche: fans of the 16-bit era and the side-scrolling spaceship genre. The title doesn't seek to expand its reach, but instead delivers a polished experience within its niche. It's certainly a title that not everyone will be able to appreciate, but it should gain a loyal following among those who do.

With gameplay improvements and excellent additions to its modes, EA Sports FC 26 is a stunning achievement in a series that remains at a level unreachable by its rivals.

NBA Bounce easily fills a gap in the current market for sports games less committed to the realism that dominates the genre's major brands. Even with a clear lack of long-term content, it's charismatic, charming, and easily assimilated by players of all skill levels, favoring silly fun over immersion.

LEGO Voyagers is a great use of the brand and an excellent cooperative journey, recommended for any player, of any age. Perhaps too short to justify its price, it makes up for it in the overall experience.

Battlefield 6 marks the return of one of the greatest multiplayer franchises to its glory days. With one of the best sound designs in the series, a competent destruction system, extensive customization options, and varied maps, the game delivers intense matches and immersive gameplay. The single-player campaign and some design choices may not please everyone, but they do not compromise the overall quality of this excellent title.

Absolum is a fantastic new intellectual property, the result of another successful partnership between DotEmu and Guard Crush. The game innovates by fusing the beat'em-up genre with roguelite, making it unlike anything else on the market. Its solid design and constant surprise factor make this "rogue-em-up" a highly recommended game, even for those who are frustrated by randomness.

Yooka-Replaylee fixes the main flaws of Yooka-Laylee, offering a much better experience in basically everything: graphics, soundtrack, gameplay, content and fun.

Digimon Story Time Stranger is a great turn-based RPG that delivers everything fans expect from the franchise. With a good story, Portuguese subtitles, a vast cast of Digimon to choose from, additions to the already great combat system, and several quality-of-life improvements over the previous title, if you have any interest in the series, you will enjoy what it has to offer.

Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition delivers a fun and engaging experience, balancing action and stealth within the Alien franchise universe, with a well-crafted setting, exploration, and soundtrack that enhance immersion. The VR adaptation to the conventional version was well executed, preserving the essence of the game. However, certain visual glitches take away some of the experience's shine, and the tension and terror don't quite reach the level of Alien: Isolation. Even so, it's a solid title and recommended for fans of the series and the genre.

In another fantastic trip to Japan, Sucker Punch hits the mark again with Ghost of Yōtei, an amazing game, some of the best open-world combat, and impeccable art direction.

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & The White Guardian is a fun and rewarding celebration of the series, delivering a lighthearted adventure that compiles many of the elements that have made it so beloved by its fans. While less accessible to newcomers and with some issues, such as the overly simplified synthesis system, if you've been a fan of Gust's work with the franchise for roughly a decade, this game will warm your heart.

Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac is a simple and fun platformer. With accessible gameplay, this is a fairly faithful remake that significantly revamped the original's graphics. Despite offering many collectibles and challenges, the campaign is relatively short.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is an excellent remaster of one of the best and most influential JRPGs of all time. Despite the fact that some content from previous versions is missing, everything important is here, making this the best way to experience a game that is a must-have for every fan of the genre.
