Lucas Barreto's Reviews
The puzzles are basic but well-crafted, connecting the setting to the characters' psyches and providing clues with intriguing puzzles. The visuals are quite pleasing, and the voice acting is quite competent, though it can be exhausting during the explanatory moments, when the characters can barely catch their breath for the lore dump sequences. Finally, there's an out-of-place shot-'em-up, which can at least be enjoyable when you are exhausted of reading.

It is with certain regret that I close my analysis. In a way, I fear not being able to do justice to such an intense and exciting work. On the other hand, I can't find words to point out the narrative element that most enchanted me without being able to spoil surprises. But one thing I can say without a doubt: as a whole, AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative is a masterpiece.

In summary, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a delight. As a Visual Novel, it hits the mark in everything it sets out to do, with a charming narrative full of mysteries and characters that break out of the norm as their narratives and relationships deepen. I can say that, for some, the story may drag on a little longer than necessary, but I believe that this impression depends largely on the bond that is created with this universe and these characters, who are incredibly captivating in person. Much more than a recommendation, the title is a must for fans of the genre.

While a game of easy investigations and without much winding, Sherlock Holmes Crimes and Punishments is an interesting game to try. The cases are distinct enough to maintain the player's interest and yields a few hours of fun. However, if you are looking for a work with a good characterization of Holmes, bizarre mysteries and amazing deductions and a moral message that leaves a deep impression… I recommend looking for The Great Ace Attorney.

PopSlinger is a mix of good things, and it results in something that is both faithful to its inspirations and somewhat original. It is a simple game in its structure, being a basic shooter, with enough interesting weapon and enemy variations. It's also an accessible rhythm and memorization game without many secrets, with several tools implemented to aid the user's overall experience during the experience. Its narrative fulfills the purpose of motivating the player to keep playing, although it eventually gets tangled up in its mysteries, depending on a scarce but pleasant cast with good voice actresses.

Loop Hero has already been much discussed when released on other platforms, and it grabbed my attention when it was nominated as the best indie game in The Game Awards 2021. However, I was unable to prepare for the overwhelming wave that such a game introduced me, sucking myself entirely on its themes and goals. The more you play, the more you discover, whether different classes, spells and skills, or even new enemies, which enrich the "blocky" world. On Switch, the portable mode has a touch screen option, transporting us to the void even more strongly.
