7.5 / 10.0 - MARS 2120
Aug 2, 2024

I believe the game can deliver considerable fun for those who miss the rare releases in the classic Metroid series, as well as for players looking for a short and fun journey that expands on the roots of the genre that Nintendo's series helped establish in the industry. Many of its problems will disappear after proper technical optimization, allowing this Brazilian game to shine at what it does best, despite its flaws.

9 / 10.0 - Fireside
Jun 25, 2024

FIRESIDE is very good at being a casual experience, making the player relax while helping people, with a small and very well-structured worldbuilding, as well as very good and well-written characters that fulfill their narrative function. Small pacing issues and somewhat generic secondary NPCs get in the way, however, far from being an obstacle that overshadows the strengths of this cozy game.

With a wealth of successes, Another Crab's Treasure delivers a unique souls-like experience, masterfully delivering great 3D platformer gameplay and an engaging story, seamlessly balancing serious and humorous moments. Its only weakness lies in the technical aspects of its optimization for the Nintendo Switch, which deserves greater attention from the developers.

8 / 10.0 - Pepper Grinder
Mar 28, 2024

Doing very well what it sets out to do, Pepper Grinder arrives on Nintendo's hybrid console as a nice small game to finish in a weekend. The lack of ambition turns this game in the kind of experience that is very fun but far from being incredible in its genre.

Taking it all into consideration, I feel that the rhythm issues I mentioned are very small compared to the fun that this game provides: Very well-made crafting system, just the right amount of complexity and, of course, the charismatic Bandle City and its wonderful characters.

6.5 / 10.0 - Metro Quester
Dec 26, 2023

If turn-based RPGs aren't appealing to many players, this one is even more niche. The feeling that there was no budget for many things to be executed the way they should be is clear. There's a extremely complex system, but there are no animated monsters, the battles are not engaging because there are no animations and this was a major factor that made the game tedious. If I were to recommend this game, I would say it would be for fans of RPGs of the genre who really like it and are used to more dated gameplay and are looking for a more complex challenge than the one a series known in the mainstream can offer, in short: hardcore players.
