Dave the Diver is fun and charming, adopting a bold formula by mixing distinct management and simulation genres. This results in a title that constantly entertains and piques the player's interest. It's a pixelated spectacle with a small scope and gigantic results.

Terra Memoria is an excellent and cozy RPG that delivers a good story, good combat system and a very fun experience overall while touching on some very interesting themes. Although the combat becomes repetitive quickly and the third act is a little short, the game deserves the attention of all fans of the genre.

Understood according to its focused proposal, Moonglow Bay is a quiet game of melancholic but hopeful everyday life of a declining Canadian fishing town.

Grandia HD Collection needs to be seen from two perspectives. As a game, it features two excellent and charismatic adventures with one of the best turn-based combat systems in JRPGs, highly recommended for anyone who enjoys the style.

Even with the important step of bringing the games to more current platforms, these versions have technical flaws and are far from being definitive.

South Park: Snow Day! is recommended to South Park fans as a kind of additional episode, providing good moments of fun.

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.

King Arthur: Knight's Tale is a good tactical RPG with a lot of depth in its combat and base management system, as well as a rich story based on the Arthurian Legends. If you're a fan of the genre and King Arthur stories, you'll get a lot of fun out of the huge amount of content in this great title.

More than a recommendation for its unique accessibility features, The Vale: Shadow of the Crown is, as a whole, a robust and very well-articulated project. Aside from the lack of localization and advanced new generation features, it is an absolutely necessary game for each of us, sighted or not.
