Debuting a good Metroidvania isn't easy, and Shadow Labyrinth succeeded. Overall, I consider my experience with the game to be good, and I see room for further improvement in several ideas. Furthermore, the protagonist's unique identity could prevent the title from falling into oblivion. Puck is as interesting as the universe in which this story takes place. Running through labyrinths chasing ghosts became even more dangerous in Shadow Labyrinth, which didn't fully deliver, but could be the beginning of a new series that will add a lot to the Metroidvania scene.

Patapon 1+2 Replay is a collection with a clear goal: introducing the games to new audiences, especially on the Switch and PC, where they are debuting for the first time. While this is great for attracting fresh players, it feels like a missed opportunity to introduce more improvements that could have appealed to long-time fans, offering a more enhanced experience. The focus on preserving the original experience even led to the absence of a pause option, just like the original PSP versions. Nevertheless, the collection delivers what it promises, bringing nearly two-decade-old games to modern platforms and potentially sparking interest in a new generation of players to explore the journey to Earthend.

In a genre in which the games are looking ever more generic, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die manages to show its own qualities as a roguelite with charismatic characters and addicting combat mechanics. Beyond that, the way the premise fits the map randomization format and rewards is very satisfying.

There's a lot to learn about the world of Everdeep Aurora. Each new road we explore in these underground tunnels have discoveries that may even influence the various endings of the game. The good side is that it's not necessary to play the whole campaign again to see what every ending holds. It's a pacific metroidvania that does its job well in presenting captivating characters in 16 bits and a mystery as deep as Everdeep itself.

There's big potential in Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game that, unfortunately, was not reached due to certain limitations from the game's concept. [...] Even so, I had fun with my initial blunders and with learning the leaps and pirouette sequences that the game has to offer in its combinations. Photo Mode is a welcome extra and it's possible to feel that the base for a great sequel is already done.
