Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is one of the best games the series has ever received. Three Houses will likely remain more memorable for a portion of players due to the impact it made in 2019 and a cast of characters that many still hold dear. Engage might appeal more to those who prefer jumping straight into battle without carrying 14 diplomatic treaties in their backpack. Fortune’s Weave tries to find the middle ground between these two worlds. It reclaims the narrative ambition of Three Houses, retains immense freedom in character development, and delivers combat that stands among the finest of the franchise's modern era. But its greatest victory lies in its structure.

Silent Hill: Townfall is the third consecutive game in this new era to prove that Konami has found different paths for the series without needing to turn everything into the same town with the exact same structure. Screen Burn Interactive brought much of what it knows about Scotland to Silent Hill, and that makes all the difference. St. Amelia feels like a real place before it starts feeling like a place where something went terribly wrong.

Super Bomberman Collection does a solid job with preservation while still delivering a great party-game package. For R$ 114, you get access to seven games, multiple regional versions, and, most notably, Super Bomberman 4 and 5 in English for the first time. Being able to play multiplayer on modern consoles without needing an adapter solves an obvious limitation of the originals. Boss Rush adds genuine new content, and the gallery with over 200 items is a nice bonus for fans of the franchise's history.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 delivers exactly what a collection like this should. It keeps the games recognizable, fixes what needed fixing, and brings iconic titles to platforms where more players can access them. Guns of the Patriots is finally freed from the PS3 and runs at a stable 4K/60fps, without those mid-campaign installation screens. Peace Walker proves that its management systems still hold up great years later. Ghost Babel is included as a crucial part of the series' handheld history. The only missing pieces are Metal Gear Online 2 and a unified launcher.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok is the expansion that respects the veteran player's intelligence without shutting the door on newcomers. Master Traits reinvent familiar characters, the six new fighters cover distinct playstyles with mechanical generosity, and the summoning system adds a layer of spectacle that the base game had never touched.

Throughout this entire review, playing hour after hour on Corneria with the orchestral soundtrack filling the headphones and General Pepper speaking with an authoritative accent in perfect Brazilian Portuguese, Kazin kept thinking that the phrase applies to the whole game. James McCloud would be proud.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is that rare kind of game that knows exactly where it stole its references from and is completely shameless about it. It draws from Zelda, Secret of Mana, and lesser-remembered relics like Landstalker and Alundra, but uses these references as a foundation, not a borrowed crutch.

In its 1.0 release, Realm of Ink is the most visually distinct action roguelite the genre has produced since Hollow Knight proved that a strong artistic identity is a real competitive edge. The Chinese sumi-e ink art, applied with absolute consistency across combat, character design, skill effects, and UI, creates an experience that is instantly recognizable and completely unreplicable by any other title in today's library.

In a world where remasters have become synonymous with laziness and 4K textures slapped onto rotten mechanics, Oblivion Remastered is a rare example of respect for the source material. It’s as if Bethesda said: “You want nostalgia? Here you go, but with fresh-brewed coffee and an interface that doesn't look like it’s from 2003.” More than just a revival, it’s a reminder of how experimental, weird, and delightfully broken RPGs used to be. And how much we still have to learn from them.

ICARUS: Console Edition is a good game with a port that still needs room to grow. If you have the patience for its brutal onboarding, a willingness to learn systems through trial and error or external guides, and preferably friends for co-op, you’ll find hundreds of hours of genuinely satisfying alien survival.
