ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist expands on much of what was seen in its predecessor. It's beautiful, fun, and challenging in just the right amount. In my opinion, it goes on a little longer than it should in terms of its narrative. Technically, it's an impeccable game that performs well on the Switch, whether docked or in portable mode. It's one of the best — if not the best — releases of the year so far.

Blade Chimera is more successful than not and kept me hooked from start to finish. After finishing the campaign, I ran after the side missions and the missing puzzle pieces. Since I play very slowly, it took me about 18 hours to complete it, but it's definitely possible to do everything in less than 10 hours. There are also some surprises, like two minigames that we can try out. The visuals are very beautiful and the game is a lot of fun. It's a rare and good thing to see a title with almost no technical problems at its launch — point for the developers. Anyway, Blade Chimera is a great choice for the metroidvania fans, with a cool story and fun gameplay.

For me, this remaster is a greedy release that exploits, without much effort, the nostalgia of fans of the original games, to profit from a title that has been for a long time, unfairly, at the bottom of Crystal Dynamics' chest. Despite my frustration presented here, both games are excellent. If you never played it, you can play without fear. Especially the first one. The focus here, however, is the relevance of this collection, not the games themselves. And, in that sense, I can clearly say that I was expecting more.

Amidst the increasingly present debate in the video game industry about the need and importance of preserving games, the collection MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics hits the nail on the head, bringing to current consoles the classic crossovers that were popular at the time. The presentation of the title itself (menus and themes), however, could have been more polished. It's a simple hub that gives you access to the seven games present and nothing more, very different from the care that was put on Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. In any case, just the mere existence of this nostalgic collection — something unthinkable until recently — is something to celebrate, whether you like fighting games or not.

Sonic Superstars gave me a mix of sensations. A dose of frustration, it's true, with the problems I've highlighted so far, but also, happiness for the nostalgia it gave me. Happy to see that Arzest managed to get it right, especially when it comes to the identity of a 2D blue hedgehog game.
