Astor: Blade of the Monolith suffers from a scope that seems too large for the team's capabilities. Although the combat is diversified due to the improvements and weapons acquired, and the setting is eye-catching, the campaign becomes increasingly uninteresting and prolonged, without presenting enough variety to keep the player engaged. The result is an empty game that, despite not being exactly bad, doesn't bring anything special.

Horizon Chase 2 amplifies the qualities of its predecessor and delivers an excellent arcade racing game. Even with few game modes and the absence of a specific focus on multiplayer, the title is extremely fun and just as challenging, making it suitable for hours of solo or accompanied play.

In addition to the refined base game and the aforementioned technologies, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut includes unlocked frames, the Iki Island DLC, and Legends mode. This makes the package everything PC gamers expected from one of Sony's most unique exclusives. Despite my issues with the open world design, this aspect had little impact on my overall experience.

Zet Zillions uses good ideas to stand out in one of the most popular genres today. The wide variety of cards, fusions, allies, enemies and skills allows each run to be unique and unpredictable, requiring adaptation and planning from the player. Furthermore, the title from OTA IMON Studios exudes personality in its art, dialogue and good humor, making it a unique experience. It's not a game that will revolutionize the genre, but just by doing the basics well, it's worth recommending to enthusiasts.

Among so many strong competitors, XDefiant emerges as a new free FPS option. Making clever use of famous brands, the game offers fun and competitive gunfights across interesting factions and maps. The gameplay is solid and the production is competent, especially for a recently released title. I hope the game fixes its problems in future updates and makes good use of its great future potential.

C.A.R.D.S. RPG: The Misty Battlefield is a product that tries to sell itself as a well-done and polished package but it's extremely shallow and empty as far as content goes. It tries to draw inspiration from a genre with ever more representatives in the market but fails to bring a satisfying, compelling experience. In sum, it's difficult to recommend this title unless at least the combat difficulty is properly rebalanced. Extremely strong enemies right at the start of the campaign force us not to look for new strategies to win but to give up on the game in its entirety.

Using a recognizable theme, Manic Mechanics turns the work at a car repair shop into a fun experience. With simple mechanics, the title manages to offer balanced challenges in which players must fix engines, paint airfoils, and make electronic chips, all of it to repair vehicles and get the highest score. Even if it has a few issues, especially when it comes to online matches, it's still a good option for your library."

The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication is a fair horror game with a few moments of delightful anguish in its finale.

PuzzMiX is an interesting variation of the Suika genre, bringing a new perspective [to it] with Lola's pods and an enticing soundtrack. Though it presents some limitations and frustrations due to the pieces' physics and the lack of variation in the scenery, it still manages to offer a casual and fun experience. It may be especially attractive for fans of the Gunvolt franchise and J-Pop lovers but it may not have the same universal appeal of the traditional fruit combo games. However, for those looking for a new approach to the Suika genre, PuzzMiX is a game worth experiencing.

For fans of stories revolving around occult, urban legends and supernatural experiences, Other Side Of Mist And Mountain offers approximately 10 hours of immersive gameplay without appealing to cheap jumpscares and mixing visual novel, exploration, stealth and puzzles.

Crow Country gets it right by incorporating the customs of old survival horror titles in a new guise, both attracting those nostalgic for classic horror and becoming accessible to those looking for another “ugly horror” to enjoy. Despite the ease of combat, the puzzles are creative and the environment, with the use of pre-rendered aesthetics, highlights it as a great option in the genre.
