Team Ninja once again shows its quality by further improving an excellent combat system and adapting it to an open world game. Masterfully representing Japan in one of its most troubled periods, in addition to delivering a complete quality package, Rise of the Ronin only fails in technical aspects and in some design decisions that can compromise in the end.

A Little To The Left is nothing exceptional, but because it is unpretentious, it can surprise you positively. Get ready to relax and spend hours organizing the most diverse types of clutter, barely noticing the time passing.

Echoes of the Fallen is a good expansion for Final Fantasy XVI, bringing more details about one of the least covered points in the game's lore and more challenging combat sessions than seen in the base game. Even though it seems more like an appetizer, it will please those who want a little more of Final Fantasy XVI.

PGA Tour 2K23 is a good evolution from the previous games in the series, delivering an awesome golf simulation, a good improvement in its technical aspects and a good Career mode for solo players. Its only issues are the lack of more elaborate multiplayer modes, but it’s undeniable that this is a franchise on the rise.

The Crew Motorfest is a great addition to the franchise, but it's also a title that may disappoint some fans, especially those who continued playing its predecessor for so long. Although the game is full of fun activities, the focus on multiplayer may leave many unwilling to follow the continuous evolution that will come in the coming months and years.

The universe created in World of Horror deserves to be checked out, especially for its peculiar mechanics. The different stories, accompanied by a competent soundtrack and art direction, make the experience pleasant and interesting for a while. It's a shame, however, that the mysteries don't have as many ramifications, which can make the game repetitive after a few hours.

Afterimage has all the elements of a great metroidvania. More than that, it's also a game with excellent graphics and setting, which undoubtedly makes it one of the best games recently released in the genre.

Nobody Saves the World is not a masterpiece, but its simplicity manages to easily win you over - even with some small flaws, such as repetition and a bit tiresome exploration.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered enables long time fans to relive the golden days of the franchise with a gorgeous new coat of paint without compromising the player's nostalgia. However, gameplay mechanics have been deliberately kept as they were back then, which might push away potential new players who aren't familiar with the original games. Master the controls, and you are guaranteed to have a great time.

EA Sports FC 24 is a beautiful new look for a classic that has been evolving for decades and establishing itself as the main sports simulator on the market. With even better gameplay, more intuitive menus and modes that allow you to get to the field as quickly as possible, this is ultimate proof that the name change doesn't matter - the quality remains the same.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 distances itself from the original titles and is below in quality even from the 2019 game. It is still a great option as an FPS and delivers plenty of content, but it is clear that an evolution did not happen as expected.

Horizon Chase 2 delivers more of the same in a very fun way, even more so when we share the screen with more people. Packed with electronic musical tracks, the frenetic races have ups in the relationship between control and speed and the beautiful stylized representation of real locations, but also downs in the number of tracks and cars in its modest World Tour.

With a nostalgic DNA, The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails remaster should please Falcom's longtime fans, but newer fans might not adjust to the "loop" and restrictions from the original release.

Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden is a great turn-based RPG, with a good story to tell and fun and challenging combat systems. There are some limitations that prevent it from reaching another level, but the game does everything it sets out to do with excellence.

If you are the kind of person that can sit down and appreciate a job well done after finishing house chores, you just might find an enjoyable pastime in PowerWash Simulator. On the other hand, it's a game best enjoyed in short sessions, as spending hours on end on a single job can be rather tiresome. A cooperative mode would mitigate this situation, but the way it's been implemented is far from ideal, unfortunately.

Shadow of the Ninja: Reborn is a good remake that reinvents the original game beautifully, without losing the spirit of the 8 and 16-bit futuristic ninja games. However, this also means that the stiff controls and the difficulty level may be an obstacle for some gamers, making it more appealing for those who like to replay the levels to learn, gradually mastering the game until they can finish its six stages.

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.

Visions of Mana is an excellent JRPG and the purest definition of a comfortable game. It has a functional and quite fun gameplay, and a simple but thought-provoking story that is very well executed. All of this makes it quite easily one of the best games in the series so far.

Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is a very welcome remaster of a great PS2 title that arrives on current platforms with much-needed improvements. Although it still retains some minor issues, fans of adventure and samurai games have a lot of joy in this important piece of Capcom's catalog.

After almost 25 since their original releases, Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles finally brings two good RPGs from the PS1 and PS2 that were exclusive to Japan to modern consoles. Although they are not unmissable games, both bring several unique elements that make them very fun and will captivate fans of the genre who have never played them.

Somber Echoes is a good metroidvania with a great movement system. The combat is simple and the story is weak, but it's worth checking out if you're looking for games in the genre.

Outlaws is a fantastic adventure worthy of the Star Wars universe. Competent in several areas and shaking up Ubisoft's open-world formula for its games, Kay Vess's adventure is fun and interesting from start to finish, filled with unique details from an incredible universe.

Baby Steps is a unique, yet somewhat divisive experience. Its sarcastic humor, awkward controls, and experimental approach will appeal to those who enjoy unusual challenges and don't mind getting angry to overcome them. For everyone else, the game may simply be frustrating.

Failing to be consistent from start to finish and having gameplay issues from time to time, Midnight Fight Express is an action game with good combat totally removed from any possible logic and sanity.

Hidden Through Time 2: Myth & Magic brings more of the same comfortable and fun search for hidden objects. I felt a lack of aesthetic evolution, but the ambition was invested in the Architect mode to create and share new levels, greatly increasing the possibilities of enjoying this lovely and relaxing game which, even though it is single-player, can be enjoyed with the whole family.

Smalland stands out for presenting a setting in a rich and diverse universe, being excellent for creation and survival games. Greater adjustments and refinements could further improve the experience over time, but it is perhaps a game more suitable for those who are not looking for a very robust combat system.

The Land Beneath Us takes inspiration from great games to deliver an engaging and fun experience, with a nice narrative and addictive gameplay.

Patapon 1+2 Replay is a collection that lovingly revives two of the most creative games in the PSP catalog and brings them back with a fresh look, quality-of-life improvements, and the same captivating and fun gameplay. The combination of rhythm and strategy continues to work incredibly well, and even with the absence of Patapon 3, it's an experience worth rediscovering.
