In yet another great science fiction with deep humane themes, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector improves on what its excellent predecessor achieved and expands the campaign structure. This time, we travel to various locations in outer space in a ship, following Sleeper and his crew through an RPG with dynamic systems and vital choices. The cohesive sum of its parts makes this work a greater whole, one that is memorable and necessary for our times.

Basureroes: Invasion has a simple pixel art and level design. However, with different character gameplay and game modes, it knows how to extract more than we realize at first glance and proves to be a competent action platformer, especially since it allows up to four people to play and also has numerous deadly arenas for versus mode matches.

The practical lack of a good narrative construction and the divisive visuals can be scary, but there is no doubt that ROBOBEAT is an unexpected well-balanced mix of classic FPS, rhythm and roguelike, with the fluid and addictive gameplay cycles as its greatest and most competent asset.

Eternal Strands is a solid debut title from Yellow Brick Games. Despite some limitations, its combat system and dynamic interaction with the environment offer a variety of tactical possibilities to face epic enemies and expand the magic arsenal to keep confronting the Enclave's threats.

Embracing its strengths and main qualities, Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is a solid sequel, with a fun and challenging combat, impeccable art style and an always interesting universe. However, the innovations do not add much to make the game a natural evolution and ends up becoming too safe a bet.

Cuisineer is a charming food management game that uses a combat and dungeon exploration system to present a fun and creative proposition. However, the lack of alternatives to keep it interesting in the face of a tiring grind to reach the end of the campaign leaves the main dish of this appetizing menu a little bitter.

Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero brings its own approach to SRPGs, and with it, a freshness worthy of the best sea breeze. With a light and pleasant story, as well as engaging gameplay, we have very good waters to navigate for fans of the genre.

Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is still as fun as it was when it was released 25 years ago, but this mediocre and bureaucratic remaster does little to address the aesthetic issues and even less for the original's limitations. While it largely ignores newcomers, it may have its appeal for a few moments for longtime fans, but it does little to reward them for their loyalty.

Tales of Graces f Remastered is a good remaster of a very good JRPG. Featuring a captivating story thanks to its great characters and a very fun combat system, it delivers an experience that every fan of the genre must live or relive.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a return to the essence of the franchise, reinforcing its elements that captivate fans. With exceptional gameplay, visual improvements and a new focus on narrative, the title not only puts the series back on track, but delivers one of its best games to date.

Despite its limitations, Freedom Wars Remastered is an excellent way to revisit one of the most enjoyable monster-hunting games released for the PS Vita. Its story and concepts continue to resonate, and the combat, thanks to the improvements brought in this remaster, is even more fluid and functional. Unfortunately, issues with melee combat persist, and some technical limitations hinder the overall package.

As complicated as Planet Zoo: Console Edition may seem, those who are willing to learn its main mechanics will not only be faced with a great simulator, but also a game that uses its concept to introduce important themes about environmental awareness.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of Shogun - Aiko's Choice is an excellent DLC that adds even more challenging levels to the already excellent structure of the original game. Unfortunately, its standalone release is not very justified, given the need to have played the original title to better enjoy it.

Songs of Silence is a fun TBS 4X with a unique visual style and excellent soundtrack. Unfortunately, it suffers from serious technical issues but still delivers a very fun experience for fans of the genre.

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is an excellent remaster of an exceptional action RPG. The title delivers an interesting narrative and really fun gameplay in one of the most remarkable titles in the Ys series.

Alien: Rogue Incursion is an excellent VR title. Very immersive, good gameplay ideas, accessible controls and the constant fear of a xenomorph around every corner. It's a must-have title in your PS VR2 library.

Kill Knight is a fantastic arcade shooter that promises to captivate hardcore fans when it comes to competing for high scores. Although the title is not any kind of leader of a new wave of "Boomer Shooters", its fusion of gothic and retro art along with its frenetic combat are addictive combinations that will please anyone looking to learn a new action game.

Artistically, Symphonia is one of the most beautiful examples in the precision platform genre. Its musical themes are engaging and as efficient as the level design and gameplay progression, although the controls are not always as precise as they should be and there is a lack of an additional area to make the game a more robust and varied package. These issues, however, do not negate the harmony of this orchestra that is worth listening to.

Fairy Tail 2 is a good RPG that excellently adapts the events of the last arc of the manga/anime. It's a real treat for fans with its good combat system and good character representation, although its technical limitations hinder the game's potential.

The Thaumaturge is an excellent RPG with a well-written story, a fun strategic combat, and with an addictive capture and investigation system. With its large number of quests and options, you'll spend hours here without even noticing the time passing.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide arrives on PlayStation 5 as one of the best cooperative experiences available today. All the combat variables, its excellent setting and the improvements implemented over the years result in a title capable of producing great laughs and brutal moments to keep the player entertained for countless hours.

River City Saga: Three Kingdoms Next is a fun beat'em up that suffers from some pacing issues and a lack of combat in its exploration, but delivers an interesting new experience in the most iconic period of Chinese history.

Exciting, fun and energetic, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is a true celebration of the franchise and the beat 'em up format itself. The game combines a story typical of the super sentai morning shows of the 1990s, great gameplay and a stunning aesthetic, even if it loses a bit of pace in the shooting and combat passages with the zords. It doesn't reinvent the genre, but it certainly exalts it like few productions of the last decades.

As seen in other similar releases, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered is a great way to feed nostalgia or get to know the franchise for the first time. However, the game makes it clear that it doesn't intend to go much further than a port with smoother visuals and extra behind-the-scenes content.

Fantasian Neo Dimension is an excellent re-release of Hironobu Sakaguchi's great work, one that gets everything right. From the story to the gameplay, including the soundtrack and visuals, everything fits together into a high-quality package that will please JRPG fans.

Rage of the Dragons NEO isn't a bad fighting game, and QUByte Interactive's port couldn't have been better. However, the game itself is worth checking out out for the sake of curiosity only.

Petit Island is the delightful adventure of a loyal granddaughter visiting the land of her grandfather's youth, in a story of memories, family relationships, and caring for the elderly. The visuals are lovely and the island is well-designed, but the sequential missions and persistent goal markers detract from the sense of freedom and discovery that the cozy open world could have offered.

Mediocre, Farmagia is much more of an interesting concept than a well-finished product. With a beautiful story in a well-designed background, the game suffers from efficient but uninspired mechanics, repetitive cycles and empty combat and farming models, which together never reach the potential that seemed promising.

Ravenswatch is a roguelike that stands out for presenting distorted versions of well-known characters and placing them in a very well-designed dark world. The diverse build possibilities enhanced by the cast of characters and modifiers guarantee a good replay factor, especially when played in a group. However, some updates with more content are necessary for the game to remain interesting in the long run.

Just Dance 2025 Edition is a fun experience that continues to expand the series' repertoire, between classics and new releases, delivering exactly what fans of the series want: more songs.

In a genre as competitive as metroidvania, Nine Sols shines with rewarding combat mechanics, challenging battles, and a gripping story that combines concepts of religion and science to create a unique setting.

G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is definitely a functional beat'em up and, for a while, quite fun, even though it is extremely generic. It uses all the main conventions of the genre, but it is mediocre and poorly works its laughable story, it is tiring and repetitive, especially when playing in single-player and unfortunately it takes little advantage of the foundation of the franchise that lends it its title.

Quite limited in gameplay and short in length, Back Then is supported by its well-presented theme and an interesting story about Alzheimer's disease. Even so, it lacks content even to expand and delve deeper into such a sensitive topic.

VED delivers beautiful visuals. Despite the functional combat, the narrative is exceptionally confusing and bad. And, with that, it manages to make the title not reach its potential.

Planet Coaster 2 is a natural evolution of the theme park building simulation game in many ways. With endless possibilities to spark your creativity and the addition of water parks, it is the best alternative to create your own fun experience. The downside is that bugs, an unintuitive interface and poorly adapted commands in the console version may discourage less patient players.

Overall, Dragon Age: The Veilguard updates some of the franchise's most well-known systems, simplifying many of them in favor of a lighter tone and more straightforward narrative. While the art style and combat may divide audiences, the narrative suffers from inconsistencies, and the fluidity favors action over the strategy that is so characteristic of the franchise.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a timeless classic with simple gameplay and narrative that engages and captivates the player. The title delivers a polished experience from start to finish thanks to its myriad of welcome improvements, stunning graphics, and delightful soundtrack.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a very simple game aimed at children. Despite good graphics and interesting combat, the gameplay is generally very repetitive, there is no incentive to explore the maps and the dialogues are bad.

SINce Memories: Off The Starry Sky doesn't offer an engaging story, while also delivering a shoddy localization.

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is a competent offline and online RPG, with fun gameplay and plenty of fanservice. However, the title suffers from the simplicity of its missions and scenarios, as well as the repetitiveness of its activities and overly aggressive monetization.

Fun and refreshing, [REDACTED] is a good bet on the roguelite formula and delivers a game recommended for those looking for something like that. It may not be so refined or with too much content to last for a long time, but it's a good bet on the genre.

Mea Culpa brings a lot of good content to Blasphemous 2, especially for those who want to relive the experience of a new campaign. For those who prefer to focus only on the paid content, the return of the legendary Penitent's sword and the addition of new areas and challenges guarantee a few hours of fun, despite leaving the impression of being a short expansion.

Despite any nostalgia factor, Metal Slug Tactics fails to reach its full potential as a tactical game, mainly due to its performance issues and crashes. Being just "more of the same", the roguelite mechanics even offer more replayability, but with little variation in enemies and missions, it becomes just an ordinary and forgettable title for the genre.

Metro Awakening is a great virtual reality game. Immersive, interesting, challenging and faithful to the Metro universe. However, its pace is a bit slow, the story takes a while to get going and some moments, because they are "too realistic", can end up being stressful for the player.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has an amazing campaign, an extremely polished gameplay, and multiplayer modes that round out the package and give longevity to a game that will be played for a long time. It's easily one of my favorite titles in the franchise so far.

Slitterhead has a narrative that we can consider as an OK, however, it brings a generic and crazy mix of the Parasyte anime with a flavor of Beyond: Two Souls. With reasonable gameplay, half-assed graphics, a very weak battle system and bad audio, this game is not worth of your time or your money.

Blazing Strike isn't bad, but it fails to stand out in a market as competitive as fighting games. The characters and graphics are good, but the gameplay isn't very appealing and the story mode is terrible.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered features fantastic graphics, it is technically flawless, and offers some quality of life improvements. However, the original game hasn't aged badly enough to receive a remaster already, and revisiting it without certain improvements from its sequel is a bit odd. However, it's still a must-play title.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure manages to keep the player engaged in its first episodes, but the final part is disappointing. Having Max back (although with different powers) is a positive thing. It is a fact that the title is one of the most beautiful and polished in the series at its launch, even if some bugs and texture issues are present. Finally, despite being short, it is interesting to play it more than once.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake is a good strategy game with very functional and intuitive systems, accessible for newcomers and rich for veterans, in addition to an excellent use of its setting. The title does justice not only to the original game, but further elevates the entire legacy of the historic franchise to which it belongs.

Potionomics: Masterwork Edition is the definitive version of a great simulator. The addition of voice acting for the excellent characters and different difficulty levels, in addition to the great mechanics of economic management, potion creation and deck building mechanics, confirm that this is a game that cannot be left aside by fans of the genre.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead offers an interesting experience within the franchise, combining stealth elements with an engaging narrative. The setting and the need for silence create a constant tension, making players feel immersed in the terrifying universe of the films. The gameplay mechanics that require caution and patience are well developed, although they may seem slow to some. In addition to the lack of action, visual issues, such as frozen character movements, can harm the overall experience. Despite this, the story and Easter eggs, especially those that reference the films, make up for the flaws, making the game a good choice for fans of the series.

Awaken: Astral Blade has managed to grow into an acceptable and entertaining game, but it still has obvious limitations for its production ambitions. Although it fails to stand out among action metroidvanias, it also does not fall below that level and caters to those looking to explore an unknown sci-fi world in command of an anime girl.

Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is a great remake of a classic that deserves a lot more attention than it has received over the years. It is the perfect blend of the series' traditional systems and it has a greater emphasis on narrative that is rarely seen in the franchise. Its modernization solves many of the original's problems and, even with its limitations, it is a great experience for fans of the genre who want something different.

Wildermyth: Console Edition is one of the best digital representations of traditional tabletop RPGs. The way the campaigns and character development work guarantees hours of gameplay and makes you feel attached to your heroes and the great stories of the Yondering Lands. It's a shame that technical issues ruin part of the experience.

Even with combat that falls short of expectations and little presence of its biggest star, Kong: Survivor Instinct manages to capture the concepts of the so-called Monsterverse well and offer a good human journey in the face of the destruction caused by these great titans, taking advantage of a universal quest narrative and typical exploration and puzzle-solving mechanics.

Fun and focused on fast action, Speedollama delivers what it proposes in a non-compromising way, even if it lacks improvements in some aspects and also an almost obligatory cooperative for the genre.

The many varieties of cards, the movement and dungeon exploration mechanics, and the fun references to the gaming world make Card-en-Ciel an excellent combination of JRPG and the roguelite deck-building genre.

Sonic X Shadow Generations is basically two excellent games in one. Sonic Generations is a remaster of one of the hedgehog's best titles, while Shadow Generations is a new game that builds on the Sonic Frontiers formula to revisit the past of one of the most beloved characters by fans. Shadow's gameplay mechanics are great, the levels are fun and exploring the White Space is great. It's a complete and recommended package.

Dated and flawed in several aspects, Unknown 9: Awakening is a half-delivered proposal without much quality. There are positive points to praise, such as the universe presented and an interesting combat system, but the overall package is mediocre and below what it could be.

After completing the Remake and revisiting the classic, it became even more difficult to understand the purpose of a new version. It's hard to find a justification for recreating such a recent game. Even more so when the original version is as good, if not better (in some aspects), than the new game. Until Dawn is good and worth playing, it's just not worth the full price investment when the classic edition is still competent.

New World: Aeternum is a good re-release and expansion of the original game, well adapted for consoles and with more than enough setting, combat and content to keep MMORPG fans engaged for dozens of hours.

Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition, in its PlayStation 5 version, doesn't really bring anything new to the essence of this great game, focusing instead on updating the visuals to native 4K, using ray tracing, haptic functions and fast loading. That said, it's still an incredible game, and deserves this lame excuse to be revisited again or experienced for the first time.

Nikoderiko is a true love letter not only to Donkey Kong Country and Crash Bandicoot, but also to the platform genre. By mixing the most varied elements present in these games, we are graced with a game that brings a nostalgic and at the same time current experience. Despite presenting some small problems and a boring unlockable system, the game is fun and capable of putting a smile on the player's face with each reference. A title recommended for all fans of the genre and that will please both more experienced players and newcomers.

Based on a narrative of affective contemplation, guided by the poignant emotions of the music in perfect harmony with each moment and built on visual art of profound beauty that few games achieve, Neva is an essential unit, a meaningful experience that does not focus on platforming action, but employs it as a small part of an astounding, determined and hopeful whole.

Ys X: Nordics is an exceptional action RPG. The game returns to the series' roots to deliver a solid experience built on a more strategic gameplay system and a great narrative with excellent characters that captures the sense of adventure and exploration that makes the series so fun.

Drova: Forsaken Kin is a pixel art RPG with enough qualities to pay good tribute to the classics of the genre, but it ends up being hampered by confusing navigation and the countless barriers placed to delay the player's progression.

Persona 3 Reload - Episode Aigis: The Answer is the perfect epilogue to one of the best games of the year. The DLC offers an exceptional narrative about loss, grief, and moving on that brings the characters to a close, while also bringing more of the combat and exploration that make the game so special.

Vibrant and silly, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game is unpretentious and sometimes sloppy, but it embraces the innocent chaos of a character as beloved as the franchise's protagonist. The title gives players the freedom to make a truly reckless mess around Bikini Bottom, especially if they're a creative kid.

Shadows of Doubt has some interface design issues, needs to fix its bugs and is far from being user-friendly. But it is so brilliant in executing its proposal of narrative freedom in solving puzzles that it deserves to be celebrated, especially in times when safe sameness seems to guide the market towards repetition and superficiality.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is a game that hasn't aged well: its combat and bad cutscenes show the title's age. It's worth checking out for the absurd story and if you want a not-so-deep action game. It's a shame, however, that there's no licensed soundtrack.

REYNATIS is a title that could be truly excellent and an interesting attempt by FuRyu to make a modern RPG, but its dissonant elements result in an average experience that prevents it from fully reaching its potential.

World Brothers 2 is a great introductory title for those new to EDF, as well as longtime fans looking for a more straightforward experience that allows for quicker experimentation.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is an excellent JRPG with exceptional storytelling, combat, and setting, enhanced by one of the most exquisite graphical styles and soundtracks ever seen. Excellent in every little detail, it is further proof that, when it is at its best, Atlus is incomparable.

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero marks the return of the arena fighting series and, unfortunately, it remains in the shadow of its predecessors. The essence of Dragon Ball battles is present, but the problems with a weak and, in some fights, somewhat unbalanced story mode lose some of the magic. Its cluttered and unintuitive interface also leaves something to be desired, in addition to a forgettable soundtrack. A good arena fighting game that promises hours of fun with friends, but lacks the shine that made Budokai Tenkaichi the success that it is.

Undisputed, despite its flaws, knows that investing in licenses of great boxers is a necessity for a game of this genre and uses this to its advantage, combining the use of images of timeless stars from the ring, a gameplay model as varied as possible for a boxing game, and visuals that live up to expectations. If it's not a devastating knockout, it at least guarantees a good points victory.

Throne and Liberty is a good MMORPG with a well-constructed narrative, combat system and progression, excellent visual quality and a vast amount of content to explore for solo and guilds players. Its only limitations come from what one would expect from a free-to-play game and the story that ends up falling into several clichés.

Predator: Hunting Grounds had a rough launch when it was first released on the PlayStation 4, and it's going through the same situation in this new release due to technical issues which continue to affect negatively the global experience. The assymetric multiplayer mode makes this an adaptation true to the source, but it requires constant balance changes to ensure both of the opposing sides are viable choices.

With a powerful narrative and subtle adjustments to the base game's quality of life, Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is a beautiful complement to the original game, a good "more-of-the-same", bringing another region and especially a very interesting new class to further expand this fascinating universe.

Honoring the legacy of what is considered by many to be one of the greatest games in history, Bloober Team delivers its best project to date by recreating, updating and expanding Silent Hill 2 in a majestic way without compromising its essence or art. The game has an impeccable sound design that makes use of the 3D audio, immersive DualSense effects, lots of details and a narrative experience that has always been exciting and psychologically heavy becomes even more intense, deep and terrifying.

Even though it doesn't bring significant graphical improvements over the PS5 version and takes up a colossal amount of space on your hard drive, God of War Ragnarok on PC is a good port that has great image quality and decent performance.

Remnant II: The Dark Horizon expands the arsenal of weapons and items and explores a new story on the planet of N'erud by introducing more locomotion mechanics that often complicate navigation unnecessarily. The Warden is an interesting archetype especially for solo players and the addition of the boss rush mode greatly expands the game's replayability.

Mortal Kombat 1's story expansion is disappointing. A weak plot and an even worse conclusion. On the other hand, Cyrax, Sektor and Noob Saibot have interesting gameplay that doesn't make the DLC as a whole dispensable.

Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE Plus delivers a reasonable collection of mysteries, but not on the level that such a competent team could've delivered after so many years developing a new franchise.

Enotria: The Last Song is a soulslike action RPG that manages to avoid being just another copy of other big names in the genre. Its unique look with an Italian artistic and cultural references aligned with its gameplay concept of masks and lines makes the gaming experience unique and necessary for any fan of the genre. A good debut title on consoles for developer Jyamma Games.

EA Sports FC 25 is an exceptional soccer simulator, a more realistic and fun experience than in previous years, with welcome adjustments to the on-field action and enhancing the sport's tactical approach like never before. FC 25 is a must-have for fans of the British sport.

The Looney Tunes universe is still amazing, with classic characters that haven't lost their charisma. However, the various poorly executed mechanics for sports, the overall refinement of the game, and a visual style that doesn't do justice to the universe presented deliver a mediocre experience.

Although it fulfills the desires of those who wanted more Prince of Persia, Mask of Darkness is not an essential chapter to the base game. The difficulty spike shows that the expansion's intended audience is made of the players who enjoyed the precision platform segments, but the expansion doesn't add much beyond that, not even in terms of story and art direction. In the end, it's a good piece of content to play, but relatively unnecessary, recommended only to enthusiasts.

Cat Rescue Story has its tricks to seduce a younger audience and fans of these mysterious pets. But its simplistic mechanics inherited from its mobile roots, the shallow narrative setting and extremely repetitive cycles make it tiresome quickly, even for the most dedicated.

The House of Da Vinci 3 concludes the trilogy in a solid manner, maintaining the high level of quality of the puzzles and graphics, elements that have always been strong points of the franchise. The addition of more interactions with characters and dynamic cutscenes gives depth to the narrative, although the pace becomes tiresome at times, especially due to some long and repetitive chapters. The increasing difficulty of the puzzles is an interesting challenge, but the volume of puzzles can be exhausting for some players, requiring frequent breaks. The lack of significant innovations does not harm the game, as the previous mechanics were already well polished.

Even with the frustration of the near absence of an obvious collecting element, Funko Fusion is essentially an average game in terms of both its combat and exploration mechanics, although it does offer some good adventurous passages. Its biggest problem is a certain identity crisis, with questionable choices of franchises having little to do with each other and complicating the establishment of a cohesive tone for this project full of potential.

Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed is a necessary and competent remake that respects the original, making what was already good even better. Its mature story speaks well to older players and opens up a new world for younger players by taking us on a journey through Disney's past. A game with a great replay factor, simple and intuitive gameplay, and a length that is just right, showing that the genre still has a lot to offer, bringing a touch of novelty amidst so many games that are more of the same.

With gorgeous visuals, an identity overflowing with youthful vivacity and a delicious metalinguistic that mixes gameplay and narrative, The Plucky Squire seeks to draw inspiration from past legacies to create a unique amalgam. The low challenge may seem like the great ideas were not properly used and fail to please part of the audience. However, others will find that the joy of fun will be all that matters in Jot and his friends' adventure.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is, for all intents and purposes, the same consistent and fun game as ever, with several great quality of life improvements and revamped, eye-catching visuals. Even rehashed, it remains a recommended classic for old and new fans of good old zombie carnage.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions delivers a simple and unexciting game, but it serves to bring back the spirit of Quidditch that many fans of the wizarding sport have been waiting for over 20 years.

Akimbot is undoubtedly a good 3D platformer that honors its biggest and most obvious references, with good world-building, a more-of-the-same narrative and competent mechanics. But it dares little and hardly risks exploring anything beyond what we've seen before.

NBA 2K25 is an immensely fun simulator inside the court with a huge amount of modes to keep players engaged. Unfortunately, its microtransactions still are a major negative point in a package that, despite not revolutionizing the game, continues to deliver everything a basketball fan needs.

Caravan SandWitch should be a relaxing game about exploring a planet aboard a van. Instead, the repetitive scenarios and the limitations imposed by a system of collecting components required to progress in the story hinder a considerable part of the experience.
