Astro Bot is a game full of passion, quality and competence, consolidating Team Asobi as the best and most creative studio under the PlayStation Studios umbrella. It delivers an enchanting experience from start to finish, with fun and varied mechanics enough that the player doesn't notice the time passing. It is also worth praising the excellent localization into Brazilian Portuguese.

Castlevania Dominus Collection is a great release from Konami, even with the lack of subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese. There is a clear care with the preservation of the legacy, combined with a good set of extra content without the need for DLCs.

Raw as it should be and honest in its set of modes, Space Marine 2 inherits the simplistic spirit of the productions of the late 2010s, when we were happier and less discerning, but presents itself as a reference for the current generation. What we have here is video games in their purest essence.

In one of the trailers for Concord, the character Lennox says an interesting phrase: "Coming close to death is the best way to learn how not to die." In its release week, the game has clearly reached the "near death" stage. Now it's up to the Firewalk team to fulfill their prophecy, or suffer like so many other games in the hero shooter genre.

Monster Jam Showdown is a game that embraces the genre's fan bubble and doesn't seem to mind breaking it to expand its popularity.

With its improved graphics, renewed gameplay and good changes, Age of Mythology: Retold brings the legendary game to the level we expect from an RTS in the modern era.

Visions of Mana is a short action RPG, with about 25 hours of gameplay, that delivers a bloated and repetitive experience. The exploration mechanics are tedious and its world doesn't take advantage of a fraction of its full potential.

If you like the exploration of Uncharted, the mechanics of Splinter Cell and the entire Star Wars universe, there is no doubt that this game was made just for you and puts a galaxy of possibilities in the palm of your hand.

Mika and the Witch's Mountain delivers a simple and relaxing gameplay experience, with great graphics and soundtrack. While the lack of content may be a turn-off at the early access launch, the game delivers solid gameplay and has a promising future. [Early Access Score =75]

Fields of Mistria doesn't hide its inspirations and brings together favorite elements of farming simulator enthusiasts, combined with conveniences that were previously only possible with community modifications. It's a gem yet to be polished, but it already shows high quality in its development version. [Early Access Review Score = 90]]

Black Myth: Wukong is not only a beautiful demonstration of the graphical power that we can expect from Unreal Engine 5, but it is also an excellent action game and a possible candidate for the Game of the Year race in 2024.

Deathbound manages to bring innovations to a consolidated genre, mixing elements that make it ideal for those who want to venture into a soulslike without going through any hardships.

Flintlock breaks the expectations of those expecting a game based on the souls formula and proves to be satisfactory overall. However, the game also suffers from budget and polish issues.

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is in the middle ground between port and remake. It's the bread and butter of Nintendo's re-releases, which perhaps doesn't justify its full price, even considering that the answer to the question “is it worth it” is subjective and very particular to each person.

Beyond Good and Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition misses the opportunity to update dated mechanics and deliver a more satisfying experience for a new audience. It gives the impression of being a rushed launch, just to remember that the brand still exists in the Ubisoft catalog.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a reminder that video games go far beyond old recycled formulas that, in the end, only serve to please shareholders. It is a strategy and action game full of charm and competence in a gameplay that seems simple, but delivers enough depth to enhance the replayability factor.

Zenless Zone Zero is a reflection of HoYoverse's excellent momentum, which once again demonstrates its potential in creating immersive worlds. The title pleases not only aesthetically, but also in its gameplay, the most satisfying ever designed by the developer.

FromSoftware revives the concept of “expansion” and maintains its tradition of quality with Shadow of the Erdtree. The DLC adds dozens of hours of gameplay to the already rich Elden Ring and serves as an example in such a complex moment in the gaming industry.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door brings visual and quality of life improvements, but its true purpose is simply to rescue a game that was trapped in the GameCube library.

If you like Japanese RPGs and have never played them, I would say that Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is a must-buy.

Although well-intentioned, Rakugaki (RKGK) gets lost in its design choices and sends the player into a free fall: it starts very well, but ends very badly.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II excels in technical quality, story, and characters — with particular emphasis on the protagonist and her voices. However, the obsession with cinematography ends up sidelining its gameplay mechanics, which hardly have any new features compared to the previous game.

Mullet Madjack is a true love letter to '90s pop culture enthusiasts. The visuals are very appealing, the theme is well-developed, and the references are a treasure trove of surprises. Not to mention the soundtrack, which evokes nostalgic feelings of the good old arcade days.

INDIKA is a very out-of-the-box game that promises more than it delivers. The game has a good and immersive story, but makes mistakes in other elements, such as simple puzzles and gameplay without any major new features.

The new Top Spin has many options in career mode, robust character creation, cross-platform support and the presence of big stars. However, microtransactions and lack of balance take the game away from perfection in the genre.

With a realistic and addictive execution, Manor Lords brings a complexity never before seen to its genre. However, this is precisely a cutoff point for players who are not interested in worrying about so many details during gameplay. [Early Access Review Score = 80]

What if Hidetaka Miyazaki had directed a special episode of SpongeBob SquarePants? That's what Another Crab's Treasure is like. Even though it's an unexpected combination, I can say: it just works.

If you're a big fan of Akira Toriyama's work, perhaps it's worth taking a chance on the world of Sand Land. Otherwise, it might be better to stick with the manga or the animated series.
