Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land is another excellent release from one of the most consistent RPG series today. The narrative is the highlight, but the combat and synthesis systems bring their own brilliance to a journey that will please both old fans and new alchemists 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.

Bramble: The Mountain King combines elements of an under-explored culture in games to create a great fantasy and horror experience. It's a game that's definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of the genre.

Worldless stands out for its vibrant visual aesthetic and strategic challenges in turn-based battles. The abstract approach to the plot and the lack of detailed explanations can be frustrating, requiring discovery through trial and error. The experience offers intense moments, in which precise timing is crucial. Backtracking encourages exploration and solving challenges with new skills, despite some frustrating elements regarding understanding the mechanics.

Promenade is delicate, light and full of life, without being simple or silly. With beautiful visuals and sharp mechanics, the game features a series of intriguing and challenging tasks that value the player's ability to deal with problems, thus offering a fun and rewarding experience.

A technical spectacle with a superb setting, Hunt: Showdown 1896 is the perfect version of a game that already had great success. Tension-filled matches deliver a fascinating experience for players interested in Crytek's unique universe.

Although it fulfills the desires of those who wanted more Prince of Persia, Mask of Darkness is not an essential chapter to the base game. The difficulty spike shows that the expansion's intended audience is made of the players who enjoyed the precision platform segments, but the expansion doesn't add much beyond that, not even in terms of story and art direction. In the end, it's a good piece of content to play, but relatively unnecessary, recommended only to enthusiasts.

Hidden Cats in Rio de Janeiro consistently maintains both the quality of the series and the unpretentious tendency of the hidden cats game genre. It's a lovely well-made and fun pastime, quite engaging in its detailed scenes and references that, for the most part, serve not only to represent the city of the title, but also various aspects of our Brazil.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is pure nostalgia, embodied in one of the most fun beat'em ups of today. It's a must-have title for all generations of Marvel fans due to its huge variety of characters, combat system full of possibilities, and guaranteed fun thanks to a cooperative mode suitable for all ages.

Persona 4 Ultimax is an excellent title and quite unique in the fighting genre with its dynamics of controlling the characters and their Personas. It is, therefore, a game that is certainly worth checking out by fans of the genre and the series. The only question left is when to dedicate yourself to the game: now, at its relaunch, or when the future rollback update happens (and the competitive scenario of the title rises).

Nikoderiko is a true love letter not only to Donkey Kong Country and Crash Bandicoot, but also to the platform genre. By mixing the most varied elements present in these games, we are graced with a game that brings a nostalgic and at the same time current experience. Despite presenting some small problems and a boring unlockable system, the game is fun and capable of putting a smile on the player's face with each reference. A title recommended for all fans of the genre and that will please both more experienced players and newcomers.

Tales of Xillia is a good game in the saga and, although it didn't have the best return with this remaster, it stands out for its excellent gameplay, good performance, deep story, and great graphics. If you're not in a hurry to explore the world of Rieze Maxia, wait for a sale or look for other games in the series like Tales of Vesperia or Tales of Arise.

F1 Manager 2024 is an excellent sports manager game, capturing the atmosphere and experience of managing every detail of a Formula 1 team exceptionally well, challenging the players at every race and rewarding them for every success. It is a rich experience that passionate fans of the sport or those curious to learn more must have.

With improved visuals and subtle gameplay changes, Cat Quest III maintains the series' strengths and improves on almost everything except the narrative. It's a solo or co-op pirate adventure that's just the right size and also isn't afraid to be cute, silly, and funny, guaranteeing fun for those who like the series and inviting for newcomers.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves masterfully revives a classic SNK series. The gameplay is varied and fun, for both casual and hardcore audiences. The single-player content is very good with different modes. The game's only flaws are its unnecessarily confusing interface and the online with many matchmaking issues.

Remnant 2 is an impeccable work by Gunfire Games and a very high level sequel. Delivers the improvements and innovation expected by players and shows potential for even more to come. It might still not be the best solo experience possible, but it sure is one of the best co-op experiences out there.

Even though it maintains some of the original's inconsistencies, Amerzone - The Explorer's Legacy proves to be a remake that knows how to appropriate updated aesthetic and gameplay concepts very well without losing the essence of an old-school point-and-click experience, valuing its great investigative narrative that certainly deserves a new chance to shine.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a compilation of good ideas, elevated by the excellent setting, delivering a very fun title for fans of Japanese mythology and a clear love letter from the devs to it.

WWE 2K25 continues the series' upward trend, with significant gameplay improvements and welcome tweaks to existing modes, including an excellent Showcase that somehow surpasses last year's. The problem is that its only setback is a pretty big one: the highly dispensable The Island.

REANIMAL represents a visceral and larger-scale evolution of the formula established by Tarsier Studios in Little Nightmares. While the title disappoints due to its brevity, it shines through its world design, which utilizes visual communication to guide the player organically through an intriguing horror universe. The experience is further elevated by an exemplary cooperative mode, featuring accessible options like Friend's Pass and local co-op.

Cotton Fantasy is a typical shmup at its core and follows the good old "shoot first, ask questions later" rule. It does not reinvent anything, it uses the best models of everything that came before in the genre and adds it all to the instant charisma of its protagonist and all the characters that surround her in a simple story about sweets.

Ghostrunner 2 shines with its new features, however, it sticks to the old successful formula. It has decent moments of inspiration, balanced with a familiar repetitive system. Challenging in its essence, it returns even more frenetic, fun and daring.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is excellent in everything it proposes and certainly has the best ingredients to please different audiences, including the most skeptical ones. Beautiful, objective and exciting in the right way, the game is a sure presence on my list of favorites of the genre.

Lies of P combines elements from Soulsborne games, adds some of its own ideas and puts it all in a very well-set version of a dark world, inspired by one of the most recognizable stories in classic literature. Some of its combat mechanics may take a little more time to get used to, but that doesn't take away from Lies of P its merits of being one of the best Soulslikes released recently.

Ys X: Nordics is an exceptional action RPG. The game returns to the series' roots to deliver a solid experience built on a more strategic gameplay system and a great narrative with excellent characters that captures the sense of adventure and exploration that makes the series so fun.

Light, fun and nonsense, Revenge of the Savage Planet recaptures all the colorful exuberance of the visuals seen in the previous game, bringing it to full power. At the same time, it maintains the acid tone about corporatism in a three-dimensional metroidvania progression model, delivering a balanced, agile and practical gameplay system.

DNF Duel is a good game with beautiful graphics and accessible mechanics. The cast of characters is relatively varied and the modes are what we currently expect from a fighting title. Online is great with its netcode via rollback, although there is no cross-play. DNF Duel's biggest problem is perhaps its lack of innovation and being too simple in its essence.

Not every interactive adventure game needs surprising, original or dense stories. As Dusk Falls is proof that a well-written and acted crime drama is enough to immerse us in a new universe. Even though the gameplay is simple, the interactivity in this game is manifested through the players' decision-making power and the impactful consequences of their choices.
