Bleach: Rebirth of Souls establishes a straightforward and relatively simple gameplay model to understand, which costs it depth and diversity, especially for the most dedicated players. Visually unstable, its narrative modeunderplays the franchise's potential, making it a good fighting game, but an uninspired adaptation.

Overall, Care Bears: Unlock the Magic doesn't even manage to captivate children who are less demanding with technical and audiovisual issues. Composed of mini-games blatantly copied from outmoded hits, its main mode is drowsy and poorly articulated, resulting in something bland and, worse, absolutely boring.

Stainless, Age of Mythology: Retold arrives mature on PlayStation 5, bringing with it all the quality of its celebrated original version, along with all the technical and quality of life improvements of a good remaster very well adapted to the console's control system. With epic adventures worthy of the golden age of classic RTS games, it is an easy recommendation for both veterans and new enthusiasts of the genre.

Behind all the bizarre premise, KinnikuNeko: SUPER MUSCLE CAT offers a solid platform game, with a narrative that is as common as it is captivating, mixed with intense doses of action and cuteness. And if that's not enough, remember that we'll hardly see a muscular kitten beating up invading aliens again.

With some slip-ups in terms of pacing and shallow unit management, Sid Meier's Civilization VII brings innovations that benefit the agility of actions and the customization of the experience based on compositions between eras and leaders. And with solid mechanics and neat visuals, it continues to be the greatest reference of the 4X genre of this generation.

With the commendable boldness of mixing the format of visual novels with the language of Latin telenovelas, Destino Indomable has a passionate idea limited by all the barriers of the genre and the lack of diegetic resources that could explore all that is best and most cheesy in this genre, so recognizable, especially for those of us who grew up watching these productions on TV every day.

With few innovations and no Portuguese localization, RPG Maker WITH seems like an overly timid evolution of what we saw in the previous version. That said, it is undeniably solid and relatively accessible for an audience that is not an expert in game creation, even with an interface that demands patience from those who use it with a conventional console controller.

Even though it's short, Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip manages to be remarkable with its non-sense humor, compact and well-used open world and, above all, for the construction of a universe endowed with lightness, interesting characters and a good dose of silliness so precious especially in these times when everything is taken too seriously.

As a rescue and preservation of less popular games from a very important developer, Accolade Sports Collection is a beautiful piece of history. However, the set of productions gathered here is not very appealing in practice, even considering the notably niche sports genre. Balancing qualities and limitations, it's a package that simply fails to be fun.

The practical lack of a good narrative construction and the divisive visuals can be scary, but there is no doubt that ROBOBEAT is an unexpected well-balanced mix of classic FPS, rhythm and roguelike, with the fluid and addictive gameplay cycles as its greatest and most competent asset.

Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is still as fun as it was when it was released 25 years ago, but this mediocre and bureaucratic remaster does little to address the aesthetic issues and even less for the original's limitations. While it largely ignores newcomers, it may have its appeal for a few moments for longtime fans, but it does little to reward them for their loyalty.

Exciting, fun and energetic, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is a true celebration of the franchise and the beat 'em up format itself. The game combines a typical story of the morning super sentai shows of the 1990s, great gameplay and a killer aesthetic, even though it loses a little rhythm in the shooting passages and combat with the zords. It doesn't reinvent the genre, but it certainly exalts it like few productions in recent decades.

As seen in other similar releases, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered is a great way to kill the nostalgia or to get to know the franchise for the first time. However, the game makes it clear that it doesn't intend to go much further than a port with softer visuals and extra behind-the-scenes content from the production.

Mediocre, Farmagia is much more of an interesting concept than a well-finished product. With a beautiful story in a well-designed background, the game suffers from efficient but uninspired mechanics, repetitive cycles and empty combat and farming models, which together never reach the potential that seemed promising.

G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is definitely a functional beat'em up and, for a while, quite fun, even though it's extremely generic. Appropriating all the main conventions of the genre, however, it is mediocre in working its laughable story poorly, it is tiring and repetitive especially playing in single-player and unfortunately it makes little use of the base of the franchise that lends it the title.

With a very positive balance, Dragon Age: The Veilguard updates some of the franchise's best-known systems, simplifying several of them in favor of a lighter tone and a more direct narrative. While art style and combat can divide audiences, the narrative suffers from inconsistencies, and fluidity favors action over the strategy so characteristic of the franchise.

Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition, in its PlayStation 5 version, doesn't bring anything really new to the essence of this great game, focusing instead on updating the visuals to native 4K, using ray tracing, haptic functions and fast loading. That said, it's still an amazing game, and it deserves that lame excuse to be revisited again or tried for the first time.

Shadows of Doubt has some interface design issues, needs to fix its bugs, and is far from friendly to its audience. But he is so brilliant in the execution of his proposal of narrative freedom in solving riddles that he deserves to be celebrated, especially in times when safe sameness seems to guide the market towards repetition and superficiality.

Vibrant and silly, SpongeBob SquarePants: Patrick Star's Game is unpretentious and sometimes sloppy, but it embraces the innocent chaos of a character as beloved as the protagonist of the franchise. The title gives the player freedom to make a real inconsequential mess through Bikini Bottom, especially if he is a creative child.

Undisputed, despite its obvious flaws, knows that investing in licenses from great boxers is a necessity for a game of this genre and uses this to its advantage, combining the use of images of timeless stars from the ring, a gameplay model that is as varied as possible for a boxing game, and visuals that live up to expectations.
