    Double Dragon Revive
    Double Dragon Revive lacks a more decisive personality, but there's no doubt that the game manages to overcome skepticism, delivering a solid enough gameplay system and a great beat'em up experience for modern times. The only downside is the rather limited content in terms of length and variety, but the merits in the sound design and the small details in the interaction with the environment stand out, ensuring that long-time fans will find something here with the potential to become great in the near future.

    DOLMEN
    Dolmen emerges as a good entry in the world of soulslike and has its value, mainly due to the risks taken by its developer. Even so, the title has positives and negatives points in almost the same proportion, with AI, visuals and interface falling short of what they could be.

    Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns
    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.

    Hirogami
    Hirogami is a game that enchants with its concept and art direction, but on the other hand, it struggles with the execution of some of its key mechanics. Hiro's transformations are detailed and work very well, encouraging exploration. However, its weak story and truncated, slow-flowing combat leave something to be desired. Still, despite being an average title, it can please fans of the genre.

    Fort Solis
    Fort Solis delivers an immersive cinematic experience, enriched by exceptional voice acting, stunning graphics, and elements such as audio and video that enhance the narrative. Exploration, collectibles, and the gradual unfolding of the plot contribute to the suspense, while excellent visuals and animation are highlighted, although movement can occasionally be stuttered. Despite being relatively short, Fort Solis offers a memorable journey into its unique universe.

    Edge Of Eternity
    Edge of Eternity has cool ideas and a world that could be very amazing, but it seems that Midgard Studios didn't know how to handle the technical part of the open world very well and all that immersion seems to have died in the presentation trailer.

    Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
    By trying to deliver a looter shooter in an already consolidated universe but showing another side and approach, Rocksteady Studios only proved that fans were right from the first glimpse of the game. There are notable positives despite everything, as enjoying it cooperatively is fun for a while, but the decisions made didn't prove to be the most appropriate and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League fails to stand out as a whole, being a half baked product without much creativity.

    Skull and Bones
    Skull and Bones embraces the piracy theme in a naval battle game that delivers good combat in a well-crafted fantasy. There are still a lack of precise adjustments to improve the experience as a whole, improvements to poorly developed mechanics and the endgame in its current state is deplorable. Despite this, there is an opportunity here for fans of the style and setting to have fun, as long as they understand what the game proposes.

    Unknown 9: Awakening
    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.

    HOTEL BARCELONA
    By offering a bold approach to its chosen theme, Hotel Barcelona is unlike anything that came before, even if it doesn't reinvent the wheel in any of its most important aspects. It's violent, it's cruel, it's graphically stunning, and it reflects delightfully disturbed minds like few other games today. All of this would be incredible, were it not for the combat system and technical performance, both of which are less than ideal.

    Yars Rising
    Although it doesn't bring many innovative advances to the genre, Yars Rising is a competent metroidvania. The title is permeated by a good narrative, firm and growing mechanics, a beautiful 2.5D visual, a good sound composition between music, voices and effects, as well as a good dose of nostalgia.

    MythForce
    MythForce had everything to please an entire generation that grew up falling in love with the peculiar aesthetics of adventurous animations from the 1980s and 1990s, but unfortunately the inspirations remained only in the concept. As soon as the game starts, it only presents us with a generic roguelite journey devoid of any emotion.

    MARS 2120
    MARS 2120 has potential to become a good game and succeeds in terms of visuals and the versatile tools, but execution problems and a premature launch prevent it from, in its current state, reaching the average in a genre as prolific as the metroidvania is nowadays.

    Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution
    Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution is a disappointing spin-off and I cannot recommend it to even to die hard fans of the series. The gameplay simply isn't polished and, thus, makes it hard for players to have a good time with the title.

    Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs
    PAC-MAN, the classic, is impeccable. Adding multiplayer concepts through the lens of Battle Royale is a great idea. However, PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs proves that not even this mix has a guarantee of success if care is not taken with the content offered. Without a life of its own, the tribute is a good memory, but it doesn't go much further than that.

    Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection
    Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection brings all the action of Star Wars battles back to consoles. With the mission to be fun, the game has interesting single player campaigns, a Galactic Conquest mode with a hint of strategy and a multiplayer filled with new maps. A collection made for longtime fans, but which also invites new ones to experience one of the most fun experiences in the Star Wars saga.

    Kong: Survivor Instinct
    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.

    Foamstars
    FOAMSTARS is a game of two extremes where not all the foam and style in the world can hide the lack of substance. It shows signs of variety and depth, but ends up being shallow. Its short matches are fun, but they don't keep you engaged in the long term and the repetitiveness in its PvE mode gets tiring before the player sees the best it has to offer.

    In My Shadow
    I really wish I'd been more involved with In My Shadow, but the great core concept isn't enough to sustain an uninvolved story and shaky artwork. While the puzzles themselves have their virtues, the platforming leaves something to be desired, resulting in a disconnected and incomplete set.

    Death or Treat
    Death or Treat is a game with a very fun combat and setting, capable of guaranteeing a good time for a few hours. But, as a roguelite, it ends up suffering from the lack of challenges and the consequent lack of motivation to continue playing it for many runs.

    G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra
    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.

    Gungrave G.O.R.E
    Gungrave GORE was a title that surprised positively, but ended up disappointing. It is certainly a recommendation for when it is at a more affordable price and, above all, for the public that likes titles with intense action and has an open mind to accept the game's flaws. Frankly, we hope we see more versions of the series eventually and that it utilizes the full potential demonstrated by GORE.

    Clive 'N' Wrench
    Clive 'n' Wrench is a true love letter to the great platform games of the 90's, mixing all that was best in them. Simple, captivating, extremely fun and with an addictive soundtrack, it ends up being a must play for fans of the genre. Even with problems, Clive 'n' Wrench manages to show a lot of potential and, above all, transports us back to the golden age of the genre.

    Killsquad
    Killsquad is a great twin-stick shooter for players who are looking for a new title and want to spend time with friends in an action-packed game with lots of customization options. That said, it's important to be aware that the single-player experience isn't as fun as it could be and the progression isn't as straightforward as other games in the genre.

    Wanted: Dead
    Wanted: Dead is a simple and straightforward yet challenging action game. The story is bad, there are few levels and the minigames are generally uninteresting. On the other hand, the gameplay is pretty good once you get the hang of it. If you don't care about the plot, overlook some technical problems and have the patience to learn the game, you might end up finding a good source of fun.

    Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition
    Despite being a title worthy of its legacy, the new version of Neverwinter Nights 2 is anything but Enhanced.

    Monark
    Monark is a tangled web of good ideas that could have become a good game, but end up being hidden under an awful execution.

    Samurai Maiden
    SAMURAI MAIDEN mixes two completely opposite genres (action and visual novel) and fails to excel in either one. It is a weak, boring game with awful graphics, bad music, unresponsive controls and a monotonous story. The character models are very nice and the action is a little pleasing after evolving a lot and unlocking different moves, but it's not worth it.

    Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III
    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 makes mistakes in practically every possible aspect, from the campaign with questionable design and shallow story, to the uninteresting zombies mode and even its classic competitive multiplayer mode, delivering much less than expected. Little is really original and the game looks more like a reuse of parts from Warzone to create a new product to be sold at full price.

    Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles Remaster
    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.

    Funko Fusion
    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.

    Legacy of Kain: Ascendance

    Bloodhound
    Aware of its disdain for narrative, Bloodhound is everything that fans of a good boomer shooter could hope for, but it doesn't go much further than that.

    Custom Mech Wars
    Custom Mech Wars is a fun game if you like creating and testing mechs and repeating this cycle over and over again. It is a title aimed at this niche of player and, in addition, it lacks important options such as publishing your mechs online or a greater variety of scenarios in the campaign. I hope D3Publisher continues with the idea, as it has the potential to be something special.

Added to all this is the curious way in which it plays with the game's own limits and even with a slip or another, it can become one of the favorite games of the genre for many people - myself included.

    Josh Journey: Darkness Totems
    Josh Journey: Darkness Totems has positive highlights in its artistic part as a whole, but serious gameplay problems prevent any success in the final experience.

    Jack Move
    Jack Move is a great RPG inspired by classics of the genre that, despite stumbling a bit with developing its story, delivers a great combat system and a very immersive world that make the time investment well worth it.

    Rivalia: Dungeon Raiders
    Rivalia: Dungeon Raiders gathers ideas already established in the market, but does little with any of them. Without standing out in any aspect, it is functional, it does the basic, but it never goes beyond that, and that is little, very little.

    New Tales from the Borderlands
    New Tales from the Borderlands tries to bring innovations compared to the first game, but they are not satisfactory and many give an impression of uselessness. Some characteristic elements remained in the franchise, but without the same quality, and the new characters don't manage to be as charismatic as the old ones. The game tries to be many things at the same time, but exaggerates in some and is not enough in others, failing to be anything with excellence.

    Bravery and Greed
    Despite offering countless possibilities, Bravery and Greed does not bring any innovation and is quite short. It has good challenges and fulfills the nostalgic requirement of games of this style, but still, when finishing it, something seems to be missing. Despite a good Adventure mode, the other modes are not that interesting.

    Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway
    Despite not being the most fun kart racing game currently available, Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway fulfills its role by delivering a huge variety of elements from Nickelodeon animations in yet another title in a franchise that is showing itself to be solid.

    The Witch's House MV
    The Witch's House MV is a fun and challenging horror game, albeit a relatively short experience. Despite the limitations it faces, it is a great example of the creativity that comes from indie games and how much they shine in this genre.

    Tad the Lost Explorer
    Tad the Lost Explorer has a number of technical and conceptual limitations. But considering the universe in which it is inspired and the audience it targets, the game has merits in adopting a light tone and a silly humor like few titles nowadays and thus proving to be a fun experience to share with the family.

    Lemon Cake
    Lemon Cake is a cute and relaxing bakery simulator. It's worth it as an occasional distraction between games, but only for a few minutes a day so you don't end up getting frustrated with its slow pace, which can make the experience tedious.

    Cassiodora
    Cassiodora manages to be both traditional and innovative; light and challenging; intense and relaxing. This results in a shmup that takes advantage of the medieval theme in a well-balanced and surprising way that can please fans of the genre and even attract new fans to it.

    Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion
    Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is a classic 2D action-adventure game with all the great elements of the genre. The campaign is a little short but has a fun setting, full of good-natured jokes and nice combat and exploration. This results in a good option for lovers of this style of play.

    Astronite
    Astronite is that game that you're not going to call it amazing or your favorite but it is not bad either. It can be just another simple metroidvania to play during the weekend.

    Witch on the Holy Night
    Overall, Witch on the Holy Night is an excellent visual novel that shows why the studio behind it is so famous and responsible for some of the biggest franchises of the genre. Apart from some minor criticisms, such as the localization and the balance of the scenes, this might be the genre’s best release this year.

    Cyber Hook
    When it works, Cyber Hook is excellent, the stages are enjoyable and stimulate the player's creativity. Unfortunately, that's not the case with the PS4 version and what's left is a broken game and a mediocre experience not worth your time.

    emoji Kart Racer
    At its best, emoji Kart Racer is just a generic, repetitive, and tiresome more-of-the-same game. The lack of features or modes, uninspiring customization, simplified physics, unstable tracks, boring races, and especially the lack of creativity, however, make it even worse than any other game of its kind currently on the market.

    Aurora's Journey and the Pitiful Lackey
    Aurora's Journey and the Pitiful Lackey is a fun experience full of identity and creative use of familiar models. With simple mechanics, but very efficient in what they propose, it manages to be light and contemplative without losing its charm and sense of adventure.

    Rhythm Sprout
    Rhythm Sprout is a fun game, but it lacks polish in important points of its experience. It's a title that certainly brought some fun and catchy beats during the adventure. It's recommended for those looking for a simple rhythm game to occupy themselves for a few hours.

    Delirium
    Delirium is a game that makes use of several references to be fun, but that ends up suffering the consequences of relying too much on them. Even so, it may please fans of point-and-click games who want a more casual experience that recalls the classic games of the 90s.

    Souls of Chronos
    Souls of Chronos is, overall, a fun adventure. Taking inspiration from the right games to strengthen its base, it manages to bring that special feeling of classic JRPGs, despite being short. Unfortunately, the game is full of technical problems that end up affecting your experience.

    Seven Doors
    Seven Doors has mostly random and uninteresting puzzles that fail to meet the expectations created by the game's synopsis and trailer. It leaves something to be desired for its lack of action, and also considering that there are many other better games in this genre, many with a really good story.
