FBC: Firebreak takes players back to the universe of Control, but without many of the traits which made that game so special. The mechanics from this cooperative first-person shooter are functional, but the lack of variety in gameplay coupled with a slow progression system undermine the game, making it a very repetitive experience.

Although it takes advantage of common mechanics and an almost protocol progression system, which can displease those looking for something different from what we've seen before, Hokko Life, without any shame in its references and inspirations, really stands out for its creation system and customization of items and mainly for the enchantment of its light and childish proposal.

The first in a long series of games, Never 7 - The End of Infinity didn't age so well like others from the same era and delivers an outdated experience.

Skautfold: Usurper tries to be a memorable metroidvania, but everything is delivered in such a shallow way that at no time does the game really show what it came for. An "ok" option just in case you are an orphan of the genre and find it in a good sale.

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.

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance follows the storyline of a brand new character, who has been retroactively insterted into the main canon in a minimalistic and repetitive side-scrolling game. With strong spin-off vibes, it might not be a good indication of the revival of a classic franchise.

SAND LAND has its merits in respecting and expanding the original work of the legendary Akira Toriyama. But what it gets right in terms of narrative and design, it fails in combat and exploration systems: , which are as generic and uninteresting as a desert full of sand and... more sand.

Cats and Seek: Kyoto takes two steps forward with its coloring mode and prettier art than its predecessors. Having only two stages is a step backwards that makes the enjoyable experience even more fleeting, and even the low price isn't well-proportioned in comparison to similar games from the same publisher. In the end, it's pleasant and relaxing enough to make me hope the follow-up, Cats and Seek: Tokyo, already available on PC, also comes to PlayStation.

Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact doesn't really value the rich material it adapts, resulting in limited narrative structures and mediocre visuals, but the traditional 2D gameplay and accessible controls, even without any creative innovation, make the experience fun enough to give it a try.

No More Heroes 3 is a title that I've been waiting for a long time, but it didn't live up to expectations. It's a game that shows great potential, but never commits to fully realizing them, resulting in an experience that is unique but unsatisfying.

Dead Island 2: Haus stands out for maintaining the game's basic structure and presenting a new, uncompromising story. With a short duration and little beyond the basics, it lacks enough content to justify a return to the game.

Neopets: Mega Mini Games Collection appeals to nostalgia, but it may last less than an hour due to an terrible story mode and a weak adaptation for consoles.

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.

Fate Seeker II is a game that takes you to the wuxia universe with a good premise, but ends up being overshadowed by performance issues, narrative pacing and boring exploration. Despite being a single-player title, the game follows a structure similar of a MMORPG and with mechanics that, despite being interesting, tend to tire or even frustrate the player.

Delirium is a game that makes use of several references to be fun, but that ends up suffering the consequences of relying too much on them. Even so, it may please fans of point-and-click games who want a more casual experience that recalls the classic games of the 90s.

The console version of Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is delivered as a careless port. Although it has an outdated visuals, horrible menus and the impression of an unfinished product, the traditional fun proposed by the game is present and should please veterans and nostalgics alike.

A product of its time, Sam & Max Save the World is a remaster dedicated to fans of the series and point and click games, but in the current market, the audience might not be much bigger than that.

With almost no innovation, the first expansion of Dying Light 2 brings more of the same without being really attractive. There are contents that may satisfy some players, but it might not be enough to keep most interested in the game any longer.

Edge of Eternity has cool ideas and a world that could be very amazing, but it seems that Midgard Studios didn't know how to handle the technical part of the open world very well and all that immersion seems to have died in the presentation trailer.

Dolmen emerges as a good entry in the world of soulslike and has its value, mainly due to the risks taken by its developer. Even so, the title has positives and negatives points in almost the same proportion, with AI, visuals and interface falling short of what they could be.

The Cruel King and the Great Hero is a game with interesting ideas, a unique visual style and a lot of potential, but it ends up failing in key points that take it away from its best and force the player to deal with its most negative points, spoiling quite an experience that could have been so much more.

The Looney Tunes universe is still amazing, with classic characters that haven't lost their charisma. However, the various poorly executed mechanics for sports, the overall refinement of the game, and a visual style that doesn't do justice to the universe presented deliver a mediocre experience.

Frogun Encore features versatile hookshot mechanics and local co-op mode for two people to have fun together. However, the brevity of the campaign and parallax-induced falls to death can hamper the experience. Those who will benefit most will be speedrun enthusiasts, willing to perfect the paths and find shortcuts in stages that seem to have been made with this audience in mind.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions delivers a simple and unexciting game, but it serves to bring back the spirit of Quidditch that many fans of the wizarding sport have been waiting for over 20 years.

Cat Rescue Story has its tricks to seduce a younger audience and fans of these mysterious pets. But its simplistic mechanics inherited from its mobile roots, the shallow narrative setting and extremely repetitive cycles make it tiresome quickly, even for the most dedicated.

Awaken: Astral Blade has managed to grow into an acceptable and entertaining game, but it still has obvious limitations for its production ambitions. Although it fails to stand out among action metroidvanias, it also does not fall below that level and caters to those looking to explore an unknown sci-fi world in command of an anime girl.

The Library of Babel has great graphic design and setting, but don't expect much more than that. Unless you're one of those players who likes to suffer from tight platforming sessions and a confusing item management system, it's better to avoid it.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails From Zero is a very bad remaster of a very good game. While the story of the SSS and the journey through Crossbell must be played by any fan of the series and the gameplay holds up surprisingly well even today, the PS4 version leaves so much to be desired that it is only recommended for those who can't afford to play it on another platform.
