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.

Little Orpheus turns out to be an ordinary and mediocre product in every aspect of what it proposes, even if the bad timing of its release is disregarded. With simple mechanics and an uninspired level design, it's tedious, sometimes funny, but most of the time it's just really weak.

Exoprimal has a well-structured and quite fun gameplay. But the lack of variation in game modes and a restricted progression system end up hurting its release. Despite this, if you like multiplayer games, keep an eye on Exoprimal, as Capcom's medium-term support could make it a more interesting option.

Like its predecessor, Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed may not be a technical masterpiece or offer a thematic approach that appeals to all audiences. However, it is visually refined, it has a humorous narrative and offers simple and responsive mechanics, resulting in a fun game.

Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case follows the footsteps of its predecessor and delivers an excellent mystery worthy of the author's best works. With simple mechanics and an unstable look, however, its best qualities lie in the way the investigation is conducted and in the twists and turns that only good stories in this genre can provide.

Formula Legends doesn't offer anything relatively new to the genre and may seem like just another indie game trying to mimic the world's premier motorsport category, but fortunately, the attention to detail in fundamental aspects such as the charmingly light visuals, as well as the simple yet deep gameplay, make it a great celebration of the passion of fans of all generations.

Gotham Knights is hampered by a marketing that did not distance it enough from the Arkham series, being a totally different universe that can’t be compared. It has good combat, especially when co-op, and a fun, comic book-style campaign. However, the lack of creativity in some points, activities that look the same and the refinement in general prevent the title from shining more.

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.

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is a side-scrolling beat'em up that basically restarts the franchise respecting its roots, valuing the classic style of the genre and updating specific concepts that guarantee the reference for old school fans. At the same time, it proves to be a beautiful gateway for new fans of good old-fashioned beatings in the best pixel art style.

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.

Soundfall is a game that makes an excellent first impression, but it ends up becoming boring throughout its numerous stages. Despite being extremely challenging, its RPG side requires unnecessary grinding. Co-op, while being nice, can be frustrating for those who want to achieve the perfect scores.

Achilles: Legends Untold honors the legacy of both the character who stars in the game and the good references from which the production draws inspiration. Beautiful and enjoyable to play, it has its own heels, but, precise and efficient as the hero, it surprises as one of the best works in the genre.

Post Trauma tries to bring back the horror of the 90s in a mix with the current. However, the way it was done made the game generic and without identity. Although it is not terrible, it is not worth the investment.

AI LIMIT shines in its world design, dark setting, and strategic combat, offering a worthy challenge for fans of the soulslike genre. However, its high difficulty (and consequently recurring deaths) can be frustrating for some players. Issues such as translation errors and bugs also prevent a more refined experience. Still, for those looking for a challenging and engaging RPG, AI LIMIT delivers a rewarding experience.

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.

Mixing survival systems, food cultivation (and other unusual things), and that essential carnage of worlds taken over by undead, Deadcraft has its technical limitations and does not delve into any of its main aspects, but it manages to balance its elements in a fun and surprising way.

Mail Time is a short and sweet game for those who want the peaceful experience of exploring a small open world while engaging with fun characters and doing favors. Although it fells like it could be more ambitious and lacks polish in some areas, the tale of the young mail deliverer's first day on the job is interesting and playful. It's like an illustrated book that you can hop in to jump, glide and relax.

Possessor(s) has attractive visuals and a well-presented story, but is hampered by its Metroidvania structure, which doesn't offer enough rewarding exploration to justify itself. The uninteresting exploration and the fast-paced but unvaried combat prevent the game from standing out in the crowded action-platformer genre, making it recommendable only to those who appreciate the aesthetics and theme of a race of demons.

Helvetii is beautifully crafted, blending handcrafted art and solid movement and combat mechanics into a challenging roguelike structure that is sure to please any fan of the genre. However, the exploration of the environments and the relatively slow progression are not the best of its qualities.

In an attempt by the developer to reach a wider audience, Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten brings a lot of flaws as a JRPG, with the story being one of its only redeeming qualities.

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster is a remaster we didn't know we needed. The game preserves all the essence of the original, while bringing visual improvements and a series of extras. Its story is interesting, featuring some well-known characters and gameplay that is naturally an evolution of Doom. An exquisite work by Nightdive Studios, contributing to the preservation and accessibility of a game that was a landmark when it was released and leaving us eager for a possible remaster of the sequel.

Manic Mechanics is a simple, fun, chaotic cooperative game that relies on some innovations during gameplay that highlight its competence. By avoiding excess, it delivers family content full of entertainment, as well as an accessible solo experience.

Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery maintains the series' relaxation and fun. If it were a DLC instead of a standalone game, it would make HTT2 a whole greater than the sum of its parts to build on everything we've seen in Myths & Magic's Architect mode and the community's online creations. As a standalone game, however, it's odd to see the sequence separated into two isolated parts that, even though they are good enough by themselves, they divide forces rather than joining them together.

Phantom Spark is a great time trial racing game for those that strives for perfection, using precise controls and well-designed tracks to challenge the most dedicated players. However, with few game modes, uninspired multiplayer and artistic minimalism, it does little for those looking for something other than constant repetition in search of the impossible thousandth.

Among so many roguelites released in recent years, Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade ends up being just another one in the crowd. Its visuals and, mainly, its fun gameplay are the highlights, but not enough to make it a memorable game. Repetition, which is usually an ally of the genre, acts as a villain here, wearing down the experience and making the game recommended only for big roguelite fans.

Sengoku Dynasty is so diverse and bold that it will certainly offer dozens of dense hours of tasks and duties to be completed, but not necessarily with the fun and addictive way that the best games in the genre manage to do. There's no doubt about how grand and diverse the game manages to be even with a modest production scope, but it's the artistic and gameplay details that take away some of the shine it deserves.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 takes too many risks in its campaign and, even while earning points for innovation, ends up delivering a bizarre and disjointed plot that attempts to blend science fiction with fantasy elements, seasoned with touches of surrealism, paranoia, and cheap horror. While maintaining a solid core in its gameplay models, refining successful aspects and reviving established mechanics, it seems to overuse recycled content, AI-generated elements, and a generic art style that already shows signs of fatigue and exhaustion, making it a game as dense as it is unbalanced.

The Precinct may not live up to the expectations of those who expect the madness of classic GTA from the point of view of the cops, nor of those who believe it to be just a bureaucratic simulator of police life. Finding a new, immersive and fun place between these two aspects, the game is surprisingly diverse in gameplay and carries with it the heritage of tone of the good buddy cop movies of the 1980s and 1990s.

Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord is recommended for those who simply want more Fairy Fencer F, years after the last release. The SRPG gameplay is new to the series, but it's not a big enough novelty to recommend the title to those looking for something focused on strategy.

With a major imbalance throughout its structure, a clear lack of experience in some decisions, and the need for greater refinement, Echoes of the End is an average action-adventure game that fails to deliver its full potential despite having some good ideas.

Overall, the Redout 2 experience was mind-blowing due to its speed and excellent mechanics. But it was also frustrating because of some paths, some events in campaign mode, and the inconsistent AI. It is certainly one of the best and most complete packages in the genre today and a highly recommended title for racing fans and those who like a good challenge.

The Cruel King and the Great Hero is a game with interesting ideas, a unique visual style and a lot of potential, but it ends up failing in key points that take it away from its best and force the player to deal with its most negative points, spoiling quite an experience that could have been so much more.

Tin Hearts combines puzzle and 3D platforming to create ingenious challenges that will require paying attention to the environment and the resources that can be used. The narrative lacks better pacing and swings between the endearing and the cheesy. Even so, the plot collaborates with the charming setting of toys and systems that need to be set in motion. This mix is enjoyable and thought-provoking, which makes it recommendable to anyone who likes to twist their brain in creative environments.

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.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game uses an already established formula from a different source material. It's a simple game that could be interesting for those who like asymmetrical multiplayer, but there are numerous problems with balance and variety that greatly affect the game itself.

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.

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.

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.

Applying the same fundamentals as the previous trilogy, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered allows us to revisit the darkest games in the franchise. Longtime fans will certainly approve it, but, despite efforts such as options for modern controls, new players will likely have a hard time adjusting to these relics from the past.

The best way to describe Neptunia: Sisters vs Sisters is to talk about its casual experience. If you're looking for cute and funny moments, then the game might be a good fit - just don't expect too much from its combat.

CYMACHINA is an RPG with interesting ideas and good combat that ends up suffering from excessive repetitiveness in its enemy and map designs, as well as a story that ends up tripping over itself a little.

Madden NFL 24 is a great game limited by a series of small issues that significantly affect the experience. While certain issues have been resolved and clear improvements are seen in the gameplay, the game modes and menus either remain the same or are worse and, along with some small hiccups that persists, limit the game's potential.

Understood according to its focused proposal, Moonglow Bay is a quiet game of melancholic but hopeful everyday life of a declining Canadian fishing town. The simplicity and conciseness may make it fall into a repetitive routine, but there is purpose in the cycle of actions that fits the narrative of, one day at a time, revitalizing both the community and the life of a widowed person who will use the fishing rod to deal with the grief.

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.

Trinity Trigger is a short RPG, visually beautiful, with a cool proposal, but it is not thrilling. It's a title that can be exciting at first, but it starts to get repetitive and doesn't do enough to keep it going until the end.

If you give it a chance, SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is an interesting game. It will still be a repetitive game, but it ends up becoming addictive. Its unique world and the desire to discover more about it can make up for the high grind and frustration - especially at the beginning - of losing everything because you were too ambitious.

Valkyrie Elysium has a very good combat system and a great soundtrack. However, its story is shallow, its campaign is short, and the graphics are bad.

Despite the poor dialogue, empty open world, and other issues, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a fun action game thanks to its combat and storyline that make up for its flaws.

FBC: Firebreak takes players back to the universe of Control, but without many of the traits which made that game so special. The mechanics from this cooperative first-person shooter are functional, but the lack of variety in gameplay coupled with a slow progression system undermine the game, making it a very repetitive experience.

Although inspired by important classics of the genre and with good ideas, The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered fails to deliver an experience that engages the players enough to keep them interested in completing a journey. Much less seven of them.

With After Us, Piccolo Studio presents platform gameplay with many alternatives, set in a unique version of a desolate world. That's enough for After Us to be considered a good game. But in reality it is more than that. After Us is also a life lesson.

TRON: Catalyst is a good adventure game set in the TRON universe. The looping mechanics are interesting, as is the combat. However, overall, it is a short, simple game with a reasonable story.

Lunar Lander Beyond is a great example of how to modernize a classic game from the early days of videogames without changing its essence. With great controls, an artistic style full of identity and originality of purpose, the game surprises, entertains and is addictive... a lot.

Alfred Hitchcock: Vertigo is a beautiful tribute to the style that immortalized one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, offering an interesting and unusual suspense plot in games. However, even full of good intentions, it fails by offering extremely simple mechanics, which end up hindering immersion instead of favoring it.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! may seem like a product dedicated to fans of the famous demon hunter franchise, but it ends up being a poorly balanced copy of other games in the genre, without much to offer other than lukewarm fun for lazy afternoons with the family.

SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos is a game with many problems when it was originally released in the past, but it is still an important piece of SNK and Capcom history. The re-release features quality of life additions such as online with rollback netcode. In the end, however, it is worth more for the curiosity of those who do not know it or for those who want to remember it.

Showing good ideas with poor execution, Atlas Fallen is an action RPG with flaws, strange decisions and an underused universe in many ways. It is a better experience when enjoyed cooperatively, but just a decent game nowadays.

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.

God of War Sons of Sparta has its merits and, within the premise of a 2D action game set in Kratos' youth, it fulfills its role in a perfunctory but satisfactory way. However, it lacks depth in all its aspects, including the rather rudimentary level design by current Metroidvania standards, and even with some interesting qualities in the visual and narrative aspects, it still seems to be just a scrawny teenager trying to prove himself a true Spartan warrior.

Inspired by classics but with very modern limitations, AEW Fight Forever is a fun game, but a series of small problems end up limiting at all times how much a wrestling fan can enjoy it. While far from exceptional, the foundation is here for a true elite gaming in the future.

Felix The Cat is an ideal collection that reflects the past and power of Nintendo and its 8-bit games. However, it is limited and would deserve greater attention when delivering its content, adding even more pleasant memories to fans of retro platform games.

Whether or not to recommend the interactive film Dead Reset is not a simple task, because enjoying it depends on whether you're willing to accept certain questionable tastes. If you're expecting a production with cinematic standards, this is definitely not the place to visit. But if you're looking for fun with typical 1980s B-movie performances, a delightfully cliché narrative, and increasingly absurd choices, there's a gem to be discovered here.

Combining classic sci-fi elements with an intriguing story, Scars Above presents a great combat and exploration experience, where the satisfaction of overcoming its challenges represents very well the feeling of surviving on a hostile alien planet.

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.

Redemption Reapers is a good tactical RPG and borrows many of the genre's best and most solid mechanics, as well as taking us on a dark journey through an ancient world ravaged by doom and hopelessness. However, the narrative fails to truly engage us, the visuals betray themselves and only the soundtrack is saved from any disappointments. It still works well, but it offers little, for novices and veterans alike.

Days of Doom is a fun mix between roguelite and tactical RPG that keeps you entertained largely due to its simplicity. Although the game manages to capture the feeling of wanting to play just one more run, its simplicity also ends up limiting the time you can enjoy it.

Crown Wars: The Black Prince is a fun Strategy RPG with good base-building elements and an interesting combat system that, together with the creative use of its setting, does more than enough to keep the player engaged.

Forspoken is a unique game, with a very distinct gameplay, setting and story that compose a very fun and interesting experience. It suffers with its short duration, problemactic camera, lack of variety in side missions and it needs a few adjustments to its gameplay, but its one of the most beautiful games on the PS5 so far and a title that deserves everyone's attention.

Building on the saga's excellent conclusion in The Final Shape, Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate serves as both a mediocre epilogue and a promising but uncertain reboot. Ultimately, it's less interesting in its own right, both in terms of narrative and the sloppy use of the few new mechanics introduced.

Shadow Warrior 3 has good combat, but its content is too short to recommend it at launch. It is certainly a title to keep on the radar if you are a fan of this type of FPS.

DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing is fun and shows that the developers cared about animation fans. However, it limits itself as just another game of the genre that only copies a successful formula, without the necessary potential to stand out.

Alone in the Dark may not be the most inventive game of its kind, but it is extremely competent in everything it proposes. Combat, exploration and narrative are excellent, with a beautiful noir setting, slipping in few visual details and rhythm. The original survivor horror is back, and in a big way.

There's no doubt that Edens Zero manages to adapt a dense and complex story into an extremely accessible action RPG format. However, aspects such as gameplay, visuals and narrative structure show incredible unrealized potential, resulting in an adaptation that takes little advantage of what Hiro Mashima's incredible work has to offer.

Extremely short, with almost no story development and being a rather limited experience, Bright Memory: Infinite stands out for a good gameplay that may not be enough to justify its price.

Despite much of the game delivering an unpolished or incomplete experience with warnings in almost all of its foundations, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 still has some highlights that are well worth it for fans of the franchise.

Mato Anomalies is a good game that fails for trying to include, unnecessarily, too many elements in its formula. Despite this, its good characters and interesting plot manage to sustain it for its entire duration and the combat brings enough new elements to remain challenging.

Curse of the Sea Rats is above all a very fun game, easily recommended to be played alone or with friends. With a light theme and full of good pirate stories, it should please fans of action and platform games of all ages. But, as a metroidvania, it falls a little short of the good options currently available in the market.

OmegaBot has no big problems and no big highlights. A few more features would be welcome. However, with a good pace and challenging bosses, it fulfills its purpose of being a simple and pleasant adventure for those who like 2D platformers.

Without any significant innovations, additions, or improvements that go beyond the norm, Fighting Force Collection carries with it, without compromise, the qualities, such as setting, simplicity, and objectivity of the purest digital beat 'em up; and the limitations of its time, visually and mechanically speaking, which will certainly bring a nostalgic smile to older players, but will hardly seduce subsequent generations.

Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch hits the mark with its visual style and fidelity to the humor of the universe created by Kevin Smith, delivering vibrant graphics and a very distinctive identity that, in itself, is quite eye-catching. However, the experience is ultimately hampered by technical problems, as well as repetitive and shallow gameplay that can quickly become tiresome. Although it works better in multiplayer and appeals to those looking for something more casual and straightforward, the game leaves the feeling that it could have gone further, especially in the refinement of its mechanics and the overall pace of progression.

Tiebreak: The Official Game of the ATP and WTA is, in essence, an acceptable game that appropriates old mechanics with some interesting twists. But everything else, such as a simplistic career mode, a broken online system, serious technical problems and a terrible AI prevent the game, even with a respectable license, from being minimally enjoyable.

Despite a solid and fun gameplay, Concord falls short in several other aspects, including its competitive modes and the lack of charisma of its characters. It's an average experience that can be fun in short doses and rewarding to the player who invests time on it, but it doesn't do enough to keep you hooked.

The Tomorrow Children is endowed with a very particular aesthetic - strange at times, but with an identity of its own. There is a certain satisfaction in building a village from scratch with just the fruits of one's labor, but alone, the journey is far more boring. The game excels when it's enjoyed with other players, but unfortunately the community isn't large or very active at the moment, so the player experience may be compromised.

Monster Menu: The Scavenger's Cookbook is a game with interesting ideas, but one of the most uninteresting executions possible. Nothing in the game goes beyond competent and some points reach the objectively bad, making it certainly a game that exists, but will hardly be remembered.

Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland delivers a nostalgic and fun experience, especially for fans of the original cartoon, whose aesthetics and soundtrack are the same. The idea of transforming babies' imaginations into an interactive adventure is creative. However, the game has clear limitations: its short length and lack of depth in mechanics may frustrate more experienced players. The 8-bit mode is a charming addition, but multiplayer limitations and inconsistent difficulty affect the replay value. Still, for those looking for nostalgia, it's a good choice.

There is no doubt that Stray Blade manages to appropriate well the mechanics that have become popular in recent years and it does so in a game that is concerned with its narrative and its fantasy look. But some flaws in the combat and exploration design end up undermining some of its best ideas, which doesn't take away its merits, but unfortunately overshadows the experience as a whole.

With elements that compromise the experience, Lost Soul Aside is an example of a game that could have been excellent but drags on unnecessarily. The fast-paced combat delivers satisfying combos and the soundtrack is memorable, but even these strengths fall flat during a campaign hampered by a shallow narrative.

Firewall Ultra is a simple game, with few modes at launch and a very long matchmaking. Furthermore, the gameplay barely explores the capabilities of VR. With the promised support, Firewall Ultra may be better in the future, but it's difficult to recommend it at the moment.

Wreckreation attempts to become the successor to Burnout Paradise; however, it lacks the polish to do so. Even worse, some basic aspects of any racing game are so lacking in care that it's impossible to recommend it in its current state. It feels like a game that launched in Early Access and, had they given it adequate development time, could have been something truly special.

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.

With almost no innovation, the first expansion of Dying Light 2 brings more of the same without being really attractive. There are contents that may satisfy some players, but it might not be enough to keep most interested in the game any longer.

In many ways, Saints Row is a game that looks back on its past with reverence, trying to keep much of what worked in the past while updating it for a new generation of players (and consoles). It manages to do it with many more hits than mistakes, but it's still a game that shouldn't please any player. If you are a fan of its tone and proposal, it is undeniable that there are dozens of hours of fun here.

Despite some good decisions in its unique elements, Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires is a game quite limited by its basic structure, which becomes repetitive very quickly. It's easy to have fun with it, but there are better options available within the franchise.

Mia and the Dragon Princess is cheesy as it should be and brings what is expected from a good FMV, with relevant choices, cartoonish performances and many unexpected consequences. However, it fails to offer an interaction without any inventiveness, in addition to serious continuity problems and, mainly, a script full of potential that never actually comes true, regardless of the chosen ending.

Poorly executed, uncreative, with restricted progress and co-op being the only reason for its fun, PAYDAY 3 is a difficult recommendation even for fans of the franchise.

Farm Manager 2022 is so concerned with bringing a realistic farm management experience that it ends up delivering something confusing and problematic, even empty. If you can ignore the terrible menus, get ready to experience some of the longest hours of your life.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai is a good game adapting an anime, but a relatively shallow Action RPG. Although there is a lot of content here (especially if you are a fan of the franchise), the game only recreates the anime's narrative, the combat is too simple and its most unique mode ends up tiring due to its repetitiveness.

Fate Seeker II is a game that takes you to the wuxia universe with a good premise, but ends up being overshadowed by performance issues, narrative pacing and boring exploration. Despite being a single-player title, the game follows a structure similar of a MMORPG and with mechanics that, despite being interesting, tend to tire or even frustrate the player.
