Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead manages to add the best in the simulation franchise of creating bridges and walkways and the great post-apocalyptic setting of the traditional TV series. With confusing commands, but a functional interface, it brings great challenges, a sufficiently well-structured story and abuses the unorthodox creativity of the player.

Tesla Force is not one of the most original games of its kind, and it lacks aesthetic aspects that could be better explored. However, it has a solid roguelite system, functional mechanics and a challenge that works, even though it is always on the threshold between a productive reiteration and excessive repetition.

Immortals Fenyx Rising may not be the most original game in the universe, but it manages to appropriate many of the best game features that have inspired it to create something new, fun and captivating. By offering a great balance between combat, puzzles and exploration, as well as a well-resolved artistic style, it proves to be one of the best surprises of the year.

Unturned is very competent in what it proposes and proves to be quite complete and complex for enthusiasts of survival games in the open world. Its combat system is somewhat truncated and the artistic construction is irregular, but its crafting and evolution mechanics are good enough for several hours of fun, whether playing alone or being accompanied.

Faeria is a great card battle, with a beautiful visual presentation, lots of content and a well-balanced gameplay system. The expansion system seems too aggressive and the interface may not be so friendly at first, but for fans of the genre, the game offers many of the best solutions for it.

In a niche little served by larger budget productions, Paw Patrol Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay stands out exactly for offering the simple very well resolved. The game is as beautiful as the animation on which it is based and manages to have the charisma to attract and keep the attention of children, and if it fulfills this role well, even offering zero challenge and little replay value, it is a beautiful addition to the collection of any parents.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is a game divided into two very well designed and distinct parts, but which at the same time are able to relate in a very cohesive and functional whole. Sometimes, it has a preciosity in the narrative cadence, but it has great mechanics both in combat and cultivation, a charming story and very good visuals.

Without mercy, Ghostrunner is one of those games that you will hate the fact that you don't want to stop playing even when it looks like you've reached your limit. Narratively it does not present anything very significant, but it is visually incredible and presents agile and aggressive gameplay, and it does perfectly well what it proposes, even when it flirts with punitive exaggeration.

Cobra Kai The Karate Kid Saga Continues brings good doses of nostalgic fun, but presents some technical and audiovisual problems that cannot be ignored. There are qualities, such as a big progression system, good humor and a wide variety of characters and special movements, but those who are not fans of the genre or the franchise will find few attractions here compared to similar games on the market.

While originality is an important aspect, Wonder Blade is so adorable that it is virtually impossible not to like it. Everything works especially well, even though it is strange to have to go back to the initial menu to evolve some aspects of the character. The artistic style, animations and gameplay flow and the narrative and progression simplicity attest positively to the work.

The Survivalists is not one of the most original games of all time, but it manages to deliver everything that it proposes to the player, with a great creation system (although it is more truncated than it should be), a neat pixel art look and secrets every time more curious for the more dedicated, offering an extra dose of fun to play alone or with other people.

9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a complete beat 'em up, with the best characteristics that enshrined the genre. Despite some slippage of pace, some technical limitations and a certain lack of variety of enemies and missions, it has a neat aesthetic and well-implemented mechanics, and manages to tell its story in a very competent way.

Thinking about the scope of production and the result presented, Unrailed! is a good recommendation for anyone looking for something light and without that mandatory constant engagement and it works even more playing with the crowd. In the total absence of any narrative line and with a very characteristic look, it is in the simplicity of the mechanics where the game finds its greatest assets.

Ride 4 is definitely a niche game, not only because of the theme, but because of the level of technical demands it proposes. Visually, one of the best of its kind, it brings a lot of content for lovers of the two wheels, but with a flawed artificial intelligence and a cruel learning curve, it is recommended only for specialists, or at least, for the most patient.

Panzer Dragoon: Remake is undeniably very faithful to the original SEGA Saturn game and, therefore, an appeal to nostalgia. However, it is so faithful that at times it seems limited to a restricted and confusing gameplay. If the audiovisual received a decent and adequate update, there was a lack of boldness in bringing the game to the present day in other areas.

Star Wars: Squadrons offers a great experience within its proposal – the combat in classic ships of the franchise – with a satisfactory campaign and a robust multiplayer mode. With a competent look, its greatest strength is, in fact, in the sharp and balanced gameplay, not forgetting the franchise's inevitable appeal to fans of all ages.

Commandos 2 remains a must have game for fans of classic RTS games, although it gives its age in some mechanics already outdated. The HD remastering, especially on the PlayStation 4, however, brings so many gaffes of the adaptation that enjoying the title ends up requiring a much greater effort than it should.

Praetorians HD Remaster is a classic RTS game in all its merit, but also in all its limitations, especially considering the PlayStation 4 version and the features of the DualShock 4 and the couch player. It has its advantages, but suffers in all aspects – narrative, audiovisual and gameplay – to dialogue with the current moment, even though it belongs to a relatively rare genre on consoles today.

There is no doubt that RPG Maker MV, due to its characteristic of being software adapted for consoles, requires patience beyond normal for amateur game designers. Still, it is a powerful and fascinating tool, with many great functions that allow the creation of great 2D RPGs with isometric view and strong nostalgic appeal.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is, without a doubt, exactly what the fans of the franchise expected: it brings the same scenarios, refined and fluid gameplay, an updated look to current standards and, above all, uncompromising fun that keeps the good vibes from the original games.
