Fun and focused on fast action, Speedollama delivers what it proposes in a non-compromising way, even if it lacks improvements in some aspects and also an almost obligatory cooperative for the genre.

Cats and Seek: Dino Park is another game about finding cats hidden in large illustrations. That's enough to know that the game offers casual, calm and enjoyable fun, recommended for anyone who wants to spend some relaxing time looking for cute hidden animals.

Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur is fun, engaging, has an impressive variety of abilities, and is accessible to players new to roguelikes. With an interesting story, it will provide moments full of action, without making the experience too challenging and frustrating.

Despite any nostalgia factor, Metal Slug Tactics fails to reach its full potential as a tactical game, mainly due to its performance issues and crashes. Being just "more of the same", the roguelite mechanics even offer more replayability, but with little variation in enemies and missions, it becomes just an ordinary and forgettable title for the genre.

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.

WrestleQuest is a fun tribute to one of the most important eras of wrestling. Its narrative and combat have good ideas and fun execution, yet it fails to reach a higher level thanks to some frustrating design choices that make the game excessively repetitive.

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.

Despite its unique setting, excellent soundtrack, and original ideas, Morsels loses much of its fun by explaining almost nothing about its mechanics and excessively punishing players who insist on trying to understand them.

Synapse is a roguelite shooter with an interesting idea, but without much depth. With the aim of repeating the areas to become stronger and more agile, in addition to a simple plot, Synapse is worth checking out for its fun gameplay and nothing more.

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.

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. However, as a collection to relaunch old games, only the bare minimum was done, without extras or quality of life improvements. Even with the important step of bringing the games to more current platforms, these versions have technical flaws and are far from being definitive.

Ready, Steady, Ship! is a good entry into the puzzle and couch co-op genres. For those who enjoy a good challenge and have the patience to deal with the somewhat clunky controls and a little frustration, the game can offer a rewarding and fun experience at the end of its long stages.

Combining great pixel art visuals and the exploration of classic action RPGs with more modern combat mechanics, Hunt the Night delivers a good atmosphere, but ultimately suffers from flaws in some mechanics that can make progression quite frustrating.

No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES is a game that bets on the hunger of series fans for more content, but offers only a light appetizer that doesn't satisfy their appetite.

Even with generic backgrounds and simple commands, Raccoo Venture has most of the crucial DNA for a good 3D platformer, especially in level design, secrets, animations and music. The problem lies in the difficulty leading to unnecessary and frustrating repetition, which could make the game a challenge more of patience than of platforming. Changing simple things, like the rules for counting lives, would make the experience as a whole much more enjoyable and accessible.

Knowing exactly how to please its fans, Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition is a grand compilation of a true pillar of the genre, blending classic gem-matching puzzles with a progression typical of RPGs. Without attempting to reinvent itself, however, it doesn't go much beyond that, and the sheer volume of content isn't necessarily a desirable quality in a repetitive system that can tire in longer play sessions.

Despite nailing its basic mechanics and the feeling of returning to the series' origins, Everybody's Golf Hot Shots is full of small problems that end up preventing the title from delivering something better to players.

Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch hits the mark with its visual style and fidelity to the humor of the universe created by Kevin Smith, delivering vibrant graphics and a very distinctive identity that, in itself, is quite eye-catching. However, the experience is ultimately hampered by technical problems, as well as repetitive and shallow gameplay that can quickly become tiresome. Although it works better in multiplayer and appeals to those looking for something more casual and straightforward, the game leaves the feeling that it could have gone further, especially in the refinement of its mechanics and the overall pace of progression.

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.

Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case follows the footsteps of its predecessor and delivers an excellent mystery worthy of the author's best works. With simple mechanics and an unstable look, however, its best qualities lie in the way the investigation is conducted and in the twists and turns that only good stories in this genre can provide.

Delivering metroidvania exploration, bullet hell intensity, JRPG aesthetics and narrative, as well as a lot of flexibility in its options, TEVI stands out among its peers with a strong execution in every detail. The long dialogues can disrupt the pace of gameplay and the level design may be relatively simplistic, but this does not diminish the value of the work as a whole, which I recommended for anyone who likes those genres.

MEGATON MUSASHI W: WIRED is an ordinary game in most of its aspects, be it aesthetic, narrative, or gameplay mechanics, but the combination of all this with highly addictive loot and customization systems makes it a surprisingly fun experience.

Adore makes the mix between capturing creatures and exploring dungeons an exciting and charismatic adventure. The repetitiveness can get tiring and the level design is quite simple, but with well-built monsters and a nice team customization system, the game can surprise and entertain.

Spells & Secrets is a game with a great idea, fun co-op and friendly gameplay that stimulates creativity. However, it suffers from a weak story and a rather apathetic universe that fails to captivate the player. Despite this, it works as a good gateway for players who are curious about the roguelike genre.

God of War Sons of Sparta has its merits and, within the premise of a 2D action game set in Kratos' youth, it fulfills its role in a perfunctory but satisfactory way. However, it lacks depth in all its aspects, including the rather rudimentary level design by current Metroidvania standards, and even with some interesting qualities in the visual and narrative aspects, it still seems to be just a scrawny teenager trying to prove himself a true Spartan warrior.

Despite much of the game delivering an unpolished or incomplete experience with warnings in almost all of its foundations, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 still has some highlights that are well worth it for fans of the franchise.

Missing the opportunity of bringing a new chapter to the series, Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate is a basic revisiting of a competent beat 'em up.

Even though it demands a lot from the player right from the start and it doesn't have the nicest interface, especially for console players, Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening is a legitimate representative of the genre. The title appropriates everything that has done best in the past decades, rewarding the dedicated and studious with fascinating stories, complex management systems and great options for achieving glory.
