REVEIL features a rich, evocative and vintage art direction, with detailed, well-made scenarios. Unfortunately, everything else is tied together in an average package that struggles to stand out from the myriad of games in the same subgenre.

Superb in setting, visuals, sound and other technical parts, The Callisto Protocol is impressive from start to finish and a brutal experience that is lacking these days. Although it is not perfect and some problems can be noticed, as well as the lack of content beyond the main campaign, there is a lot of quality showing that the game delivers what was promised.

Outward: Definitive Edition is the only version recommended right now for those wanting to experience the game for the first time. The lack of technical improvements and prominent additions end up making the game unattractive to previous players.

A.I.L.A confirms Pulsatrix Studios as one of the most promising studios in the horror genre. With its approach of paying tribute to classic games while setting the story in a modern context, the title maintains constant suspense and offers an experience sure to please fans of this style.

Rabbids: Party of Legends doesn't bring anything new to the franchise, but it still manages to provide many hours of a good party game.

Slave Zero X is a beat'em up extremely focused on its combat and, consequently, the player's fun will be directly linked to how much you will enjoy exploring combos and perfecting their execution. In case you are not part of this very dedicated subset of players, it's not an easily recommended title.

ArcRunner offers an immersive roguelite action experience, with a variety of classes and difficulty modes, as well as multiplayer mode. Although it faces obstacles in terms of usability due to its unfriendly interface and the lack of clarity in some of its mechanics, the game could reach its full potential with some adjustments and offer a more rewarding experience for players.

Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy is a good revival of a franchise with a pretty interesting legacy and that delivers a fun, if not very challenging, experience of a classic Dungeon RPG.

Combining ingenious ideas with practical simplicity, Lovish has dozens of short stages that need to be played multiple times to uncover their various secrets. The vibrant music, the cynical comedy of playing as a petty knight, and the many references to the video games universe add extra charm to an adventure that is charismatic, silly, and will appeal to fans of retro action platformers.

Madden NFL 23 does some things right and delivers a good experience on the field. However, it is marked by problematic game modes and a number of bugs and technical issues that playing it is frustrating and disappointing, even for the most passionate fan of the sport.

Dakar Desert Rally is among the main games of the genre and offers a series of great possibilities to honor the legacy of the brand, that still lacks good representatives in the world of games. With beautiful visuals, spectacular world-building and a great level of customizable challenge, the game ends up suffering from inconsistent physics, overly stiff controls and some performance issues, but the balance is still quite positive.

In my experience, I started Deliver At All Costs without many expectations and was delighted by the creativity of the gameplay and intrigued by the context and story.

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is a competent offline and online RPG, with fun gameplay and plenty of fanservice. However, the title suffers from the simplicity of its missions and scenarios, as well as the repetitiveness of its activities and overly aggressive monetization.

NBA 2K24 is, at the same time, an incredible basketball simulator at its best on the court and a game plagued by its excessive effort to sell microtransactions to players. While all modes deliver a lot of content, their success largely depends on your tolerance for someone trying to sell you something all the time.

Fatal Frame: Mask of Lunar Eclipse is a game that needs some technical tweaks in the gameplay, but overall it delivers a good story, beautiful graphics and an atmosphere of tension that I haven't felt since Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly. What Maiden of Black Water failed to bring in its return to Sony consoles, this title did.

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed has its positive points and could be an option for fans of the franchise and those who like asynchronous multiplayer. Other than that, the lack of content, evolution and variation reaffirms a shallow and uninteresting game to dedicate several hours to.

Combining tension and fun, Midnight Murder Club offers an affordable price and works very well when played with friends, although its lack of content limits long-term interest.

Zool Redimensioned brings back a brand forgotten in time 30 years after its original release, standing out for its still sharp gameplay, an intense graphic style, and some adaptations to modernize the experience. However, some additions that interfere with the game's dynamics and the lack of other necessary adjustments put the game at a disadvantage, especially in comparison with its rivals of yesteryear and with more recent examples of the genre.

Although Dustborn has questionable combat and some technical issues, the game has an excellent and engaging plot, a fact that will keep you hooked until the end of the story.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is a game that hasn't aged well: its combat and bad cutscenes show the title's age. It's worth checking out for the absurd story and if you want a not-so-deep action game. It's a shame, however, that there's no licensed soundtrack.

Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections finally brings the entire saga of its protagonist to a game, along with a multitude of iconic characters from the franchise. Its mechanics and aesthetics, however, recycle everything that was already present in previous games, with qualities and defects, which should please long-time fans and put off anyone else.

The Chant is a game with a psychedelic story, living up to the proposal. Although it has some technical problems and not very good lighting, the game may please fan of the genre looking for alternatives.

Tales of Symphonia Remastered tries to bring all the experience lived by the players in the past. However, the dated work fails to deliver what it promises and ends up serving only as an average game, without the true brilliance that the franchise has.

Pixel Ripped 1978 is an enjoyable VR adventure with innovative gameplay. The nostalgia for Atari is explored, even if most players end up identifying only with the console itself. Unfortunately, even being developed by Brazilians, there is no localization for Portuguese.

Phantom Breaker: Omnia surprises by offering solid content and robust gameplay. It brings, at the same time, simplicity and sophistication in its mechanics that distance itself (a little) from the more conventional style without reinventing the wheel. There are a few inconsistencies here and there, but overall, the game is enjoyable, fun, and very charismatic.

Songs of Silence is a fun TBS 4X with a unique visual style and excellent soundtrack. Unfortunately, it suffers from serious technical issues but still delivers a very fun experience for fans of the genre.

Shadow Labyrinth is a title that demonstrates potential in its mechanics, context, and story. However, everything is let down by the frustration of several different elements, such as the extremely large maps, the uneven combat, and more. It's a good game, and I hope Bandai Namco continues to experiment and polish this formula until they develop something truly special.

Thymesia is a game with beautiful graphics and good gameplay, however, what it offers in exchange for exploration is not enough to keep the game alive for long. If the title had a multiplayer mode, it would probably earn some more points, but this is unfortunately not present.
