With modern elements of roguelike games, Labyrinth of the Demon King seeks to emulate the aesthetics and feel of the classic survival horror games from the days of the first Playstation, but fails by only partially appropriating the best of their characteristics, both in the development of a shallow storyline and in the tedious gameplay that lacks purpose.

The Precinct may not live up to the expectations of those who expect the madness of classic GTA from the point of view of the cops, nor of those who believe it to be just a bureaucratic simulator of police life. Finding a new, immersive and fun place between these two aspects, the game is surprisingly diverse in gameplay and carries with it the heritage of tone of the good buddy cop movies of the 1980s and 1990s.

Light, fun e nonsense, Revenge of the Savage Planet recaptures all the colorful exuberance of the visuals seen in the previous game, bringing it to full power. At the same time, it maintains the acid tone about corporatism in a three-dimensional metroidvania progression model, delivering a balanced, agile and practical gameplay system.

Two Falls: Nishu Takuatshina is a delicate first-person narrative experience shaped by our perception of the world through two contrasting, but not necessarily antagonistic, perspectives. The game could have made bolder choices in both the languages used and the visual presentation, but it is worth experiencing in its entirety.

With new fun and challenging modes, Days Gone Remastered brings technical and aesthetic refinements that, although subtle, adapt Deacon's journey to the current generation, thus giving it an opportunity to reach its full latent potential. Without reinventing the Drifter's two wheels and adding quality of life to the game with new options, it is certainly the opportunity to rediscover (or discover for the first time) this beautiful work underestimated by time.

Although the game's AI remains lacking, MotoGP 25 shows significant improvements due to the updated graphics engine. In addition, it provides precise and adaptive gameplay for different skill levels, incredible visuals (if we don't count the strangeness of the human models) and game modes that are not very inventive, but very well optimized for what the game proposes.

Even though it maintains some of the original's inconsistencies, Amerzone - The Explorer's Legacy proves to be a remake that knows how to appropriate updated aesthetic and gameplay concepts very well without losing the essence of an old-school point-and-click experience, valuing its great investigative narrative that certainly deserves a new chance to shine.

The change of engine in Monster Energy Supercross 25 - The Official Video Game will bring, in the medium and long term, the necessary benefits to a franchise that was clearly stagnating. But the current version of the game still relies on its old qualities in gameplay, while suffering from the same limitations in both the visual presentation and the conservatism of the game modes.

Few innovations and small inconsistencies in the level of difficulty and the narrative do not overshadow Pocket Bravery's excellent qualities. The game has a simple, but well-optimized combat system, and an artistic design that pays homage to the classics of an entire generation of fighting games without giving up its own, very well-constructed identity.

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.
