Locomoto promises to be a relaxing train game, and maybe it is for some, but it lacks immersion. It lacks polish in many aspects, such as graphics, interactions and quality of life. It would be much more interesting if its decoration and crafting system were more optimized.

Liberation Maiden meets its goal as part of a package and never really goes beyond that.

Rune Factory 5 is a good title for those who like the style that addresses elements of RPG, action and simulation, but has some caveats that hinder the evolution that the franchise should have been with a little more care and dedication. Nevertheless, the game should please its fans.

Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) is a light and fun game, it is nice for those looking for a short game to relax a little and get to know a new culture.

Despite being a creative and fun game, Kukoos: Lost Pets suffers from execution problems, game design, performance and poorly optimized visuals.

Touken Ranbu Warriors shows once again that Koei-Tecmo does a much better job in the Warriors series spin-offs than in the main Dynasty series, delivering a delicious Musou to be played, in every single aspect of the game, from deep characters to perfect environments. With missions that are shorter than usual, it is the perfect game for beginners in the genre.

From the series of "collections of old games re-released in modern times," Marvel Maximum Collection fits into the basic category. The package includes mediocre games that don't stand out in anything, for a high price and too basic features by current standards.

The fact is that Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World evolves in some aspects, while stops or even goes back in others. Even so, it doesn't mean it isn't a good game, although it's not as "epic" as the first one. The ones who played the original Tales of Symphonia will see that Dawn of the New World is a new and beautiful adventure, but not as good as the other. And the ones who didn't play it will enjoy the charming characters and the excellent battle system.

Crazy Hamster is definitely not a title for more extensive sessions, excelling in short plays.

Eccentric enough to make fans imagine if its theme was inspired by a microgame from WarioWare, Freakyforms is the perfect activity to fill those useless minutes in the waiting room or on the bus.

Even after a few years of its original version, the idea of literally using the power of words to solve puzzles remains brilliant and very well executed in the game. The lack of length is the main fault of Typoman. Important to say that the game can only be properly appreciated by those who master the English language.

Lost in Shadow is a unique, rewarding and well crafted experience.

Since Nintendo decided to put Mario and his gang apart to adopt Miis, it could at least has taken some inspiration from other ames of the series' Wii-something.

It's not hard to imagine that some people will feel unmotivated to buy Tokyo Crash Mobs for all the weirdness in it. Those who don't have a problem with this, however, will find that this title is, in fact, a challenging puzzle... Which hardly will surprise anyone, because its mechanics are old pals for fans of the genre.

System Shock is a great remaster that delivers beautiful visuals, rewards exploration, and strong action. Some minor drawbacks such as environments with similar looking textures, difficulty spotting certain items, and small font size do not interfere with the fun to be had in this excellent FPS with survival horror vibes on the Nintendo Switch.

Rising 3D Board is cheap fun. It doesn't keep anyone attached to the 3DS for more than a few minutes.

Generally, Top Spin 3 is a good choice for tennis lovers begging for a good game on Wii.

Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven is a good, harmless game, but, at the same time, it's something you've played before.

LOSTMAGIC has a gracious feeling on DS and at the same time it entertains players because of the scenes and storyline, it gives a great difficulty, raising the wish to continue and finish the game.

House of the Dead 2 Remake returns as a zombie; its gameplay style perfectly suits the current Nintendo console, being a challenging arcade classic with plenty of action and violence straight out of the 1990s. Despite the difficulty, its campaign is quite fun and perfect for a game night.

If it were only a matter of story, plot, game atmosphere and originality, this very game would be of extraordinary quality. However, it's clear that there's a lack of polish here.

People of Note has a great story about a world that breathes music, but it lacked a better application of the theme in combat: it's much more challenging for the player and easier for the opponents. It's not difficult, but it loses a lot of dynamism because of this, and ends up feeling more like chess than an RPG. Despite everything, its plot and script are quite fun, as is its soundtrack.

Phoenix Wright is welcome on WiiWare. It's a fantastic game and should be played by anyone that doesn't have the DS version. Otherwise, prefer the DS version.

The new Nickelodeon's fighting game feels great in terms of gameplay, but it fails in everything else. The characters' voices are lacking, the presentation is generic, the songs are not the licensed ones and a DLC was already announced even before the game came out.

Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Battle Destiny Remastered is the prettier version of the PS Vita game, but without significant additions that does the job of attracting more than just fans of the series. In addition, there are very missed opportunities as a local co-op, since the gameplay is very repetitive.

Its presentation is good, but its shallow gameplay is boring. Apparently, even the dev team knew that, as they decided to cover up the mess with fake RPG elements.

Shape of the world offers a very different experience. Don't expect fights or puzzles or even a minimal narrative that explains anything about the story. In contrast, the game offers an abstract world full of variations of colors and shapes, which transforms at every moment and can be freely explored. The soundtrack follows all the visual transformation and keeps us connected with the game. Games like this, that go beyond the common place and are well executed, are very welcome and enrich the universe of video games.

To long-time fans, the game may sound like a bucket of cold water. The lack of options is glaring. But if you're in the Olympic mood, or don't have an open pocket for a reasonably better game at $60, Tokyo 2020 is the right option for you. It can easily yield hours of fun, and is an excellent souvenir of the Olympics. It's the typical game that you swear you don't want to touch anymore, but you end up picking it up again and again anyway, it's so relaxing and fun it is, as if there's always something new in the background (even if there isn't).
