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.

Star Overdrive's large and sprawling open world could have been its biggest problem, but thanks to a delightful and fun movement system, it turned out to be one of its biggest differentiators compared to other experiences in the genre. With its intriguing puzzles, leisurely combat, powerful emerging narrative, and beautiful visuals, it's an easy recommendation for all kinds of players, especially those who aren't in such a hurry to be dazzled.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins - Visions of Four Heroes is a good DLC for fans of the base game and the genre, bringing new scenarios, weapons, and companions that will please veterans. Its amount of content more than justifies its existence, even if the price is a bit steep.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered reanimates the final chapter of the saga starring Raziel, with new features that go beyond a new coat of paint and help make it a more accessible and pleasant experience than it originally was. At its core, however, it's still the same game from two decades ago.

Code Vein II is both an evolution in some aspects and a regression in others. The visual style gets lost amidst a problematic or unrefined engine for the genre. The story relies on good secondary characters, but offers very little beyond that. In the end, the open-world structure doesn't seem to have been the best decision for much of the design, and much of the game's quality lies in the simplified combat, even though there's a tremendous effort to make everything overly complex.

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.

Atomic Heart has several fun elements that keep the player hooked from start until the end. Although it has some technical problems, they are passable in the face of the final work, which delivers much more than players expect. Diverse combat, lots of exploration and clever puzzles are just some of the points that make this game a must-have for PS5 owners.

Gex Trilogy brings back three moderately sucessful games from decades ago as part of a preservation iniatiative from Limited Run Games. The Carbon Engine introduces new features which make the games a more pleasant experience overall, but the games on their own will hardly appeal to players who don't already have a nostalgic connection to them.

Playing Afterlove EP brings the same feeling as reading a slice of life manga on a rainy afternoon to the sound of good lo-fi. Its gameplay is simple, but it brings a narrative surrounded by moments of reflection. Its visual novel vein increases the replay factor and makes us want to try different routes not only to see the ending but also to follow Rama's journey in a process of healing and starting over.

If you can overcome the terrible controls, Cannibal Cuisine can be a fun cooking-style game, especially in co-op modes.

King of Meat is a fun cooperative experience with the potential to become even better, provided it receives the necessary support from the developer to improve the progression system and has an active community to keep the game updated with new scenarios.

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.

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.

Digimon Survive is an excellent visual novel with an amazing story, great characters, a captivating tone and an engaging setting. Its only weaknesses are the localization problems and the weak combat system that, despite the pillars for something excellent, is easy and too simple.

The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales is the typical game that could be underestimated at first glance and that, without warning, captures us in a gripping way and makes us want more. If it has its shortcomings in terms of battle and graphical composition, it makes up for it with precise design and a brave, bold and captivating story.

Enjoyable, undemanding gameplay combines with absurdly humorous storytelling and excellent voice acting to make SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake a fun and charismatic campaign that will be enjoyed by kids, fans of the characters, and anyone who enjoys straightfoward 3D platformers. It can also be a great way to share the experience with the little ones, whether it's passing the controller to them or just having the kids watch you play.

Despite notable slips, such as the technical and visual part, bad interface and unnecessary complexity, Company of Heroes 3 has merits for delivering a good RTS on consoles, being fun and for having a good adaptation to controls.

Honoring the legacy of the masterpiece it dares to adapt, Terminator 2D: NO FATE is an exceptional side-scrolling shooter, as well as a great adaptation that breaks the mold of average movie-based games. Its biggest problem stems from its best qualities, however, as it ends up being too short and economical in exploring the mechanics it creates, especially by limiting the passages where we can don the Terminator's synthetic skin.

Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is not only a good remake, but a necessary one. Beloved by many long-time fans, it delivers a more dynamic and intuitive gameplay, along with the classic experience, delighting us once again with the journey of the cycle of life.

Immortals of Aveum succeeds in bringing a new experience to the first person shooter genre, with fast-paced combat, full of good ideas and options. If your intention is to pick up the controller and destroy your enemies with powerful spells, I would say that Immortals of Aveum can guarantee a good time.

Trek to Yomi honors all its best references and the result is an aesthetically brilliant game, with a solid combat system (even if it may seem repetitive in some parts), a safe exploration model and a narrative cadence faithful to the great works of the genre. As a whole, a worthy and memorable experience.

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.

Kukoos: Lost Pets is cute, charismatic, fun and challenging. Not everything is as simple or obvious as it seems, and sometimes it will be necessary to take some time away from the game to recover that thirst for a new attempt after so many failures or even to start a new level. It can be a little tiring and not give you that urge to play until you complete it.

Inspired by more established titles in the market, Process of Elimination delivers a suitable experience, with a premise well known to the public, but with a complexity below of that from its inspirations.

JDM was a pleasant surprise and centered its gameplay experience on Japanese car culture. The game has its quirks given that it's produced by a small team, but it's also a better package than the simple sum of its parts. Ultimately, JDM presents a charm and structure that I feel is sorely lacking in current racing games.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me is a good game to close the first season. Even with changes that are not so significant, the title shines in the graphics aspect by bringing more natural expressions, improved effects, and a disturbing narrative.

Destiny 2: Lightfall is not as immersive in terms of narrative compared to the previous expansion, but in return it brings more frantic action, significant changes in gameplay and a refinement in quality of life that certainly make the package worthwhile.

Star Ocean: The Divine Force is both a love letter to what the series once was and a reflection on what its future might look with the power of current gen consoles. While the story and gameplay excite players and bring an unexpected depth, it falls short of its potential thanks to its technical limitations.
