Without great artistic, narrative or innovative gameplay pretensions, Tiny Troopers: Global Ops is a typical twin-stick shooter that brings some dated slips, but manages to be fun and competent in what it proposes, improving substantially when shared with more people in light sessions.

90 / 100 - Tchia
Mar 20, 2023

With minor technical adjustments to be made, Tchia is a true masterpiece in all its aspects, which together allow us a journey through the rich and still unknown culture of New Caledonia. With solid and light gameplay, captivating graphics, mesmerizing music, and a subtle and delicate narrative, it is a simply delightful game.

Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 6 remains a great game in its segment, with solid mechanics, competent visuals and a good level of challenge. However, it innovates very little compared to its predecessors and maintains some of the franchise's chronic problems.

Destiny 2: Lightfall is not as immersive in terms of narrative compared to the previous expansion, but in return it brings more frantic action, significant changes in gameplay and a refinement in quality of life that certainly make the package worthwhile.

90 / 100 - Fight'N Rage
Feb 28, 2023

Fight'N Rage surpasses the bias of a modern clone of beat 'em up classics, deserving to be at the top alongside those that inspired it. It is fun, challenging in the right way, beautiful, and has some of the best soundtracks of all time. For fans of virtual beat 'em ups, it is practically mandatory.

90 / 100 - Hogwarts Legacy
Feb 6, 2023

Hogwarts Legacy tells a great story of the wizarding world, with a beautiful audiovisual work and solid mechanics to the lore of this universe. Its greatest quality, however, lies in making all of this contribute to the fantastic experience of immersion and belonging that every fan has always dreamed of.

80 / 100 - Helvetii
Feb 1, 2023

Helvetii is beautifully crafted, blending handcrafted art and solid movement and combat mechanics into a challenging roguelike structure that is sure to please any fan of the genre. However, the exploration of the environments and the relatively slow progression are not the best of its qualities.

Aurora's Journey and the Pitiful Lackey is a fun experience full of identity and creative use of familiar models. With simple mechanics, but very efficient in what they propose, it manages to be light and contemplative without losing its charm and sense of adventure.

30 / 100 - emoji Kart Racer
Jan 26, 2023

At its best, emoji Kart Racer is just a generic, repetitive, and tiresome more-of-the-same game. The lack of features or modes, uninspiring customization, simplified physics, unstable tracks, boring races, and especially the lack of creativity, however, make it even worse than any other game of its kind currently on the market.

One Piece Odyssey offers some of the franchise's most iconic moments, without appealing to mindless nostalgia and moving the plot forward. With solid and traditional combat and exploration systems, it lacks in the narrative unnecessarily and in the limited level design, but the balance is still very positive, especially if you are a fan of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth is one of the most important classic JRPGs in history, even if it is less well known than other titles in the genre, and this new version maintains all the best that the game represents. Even if one or another aspect seems dated, the whole remains beautiful, captivating, and charming, which guarantees it a top recommendation for old and new fans alike.

80 / 100 - Cassiodora
Dec 16, 2022

Cassiodora manages to be both traditional and innovative; light and challenging; intense and relaxing. This results in a shmup that takes advantage of the medieval theme in a well-balanced and surprising way that can please fans of the genre and even attract new fans to it.

80 / 100 - Ship Of Fools
Dec 8, 2022

Ship of Fools brings an unusual and very well balanced mix between traditional tower defense and the essence of a beautiful roguelite. Even though it carries with it the burden of a model that presupposes repetitiveness, it is fun, chaotic, beautiful and, as a whole, quite entertaining.

Tad the Lost Explorer has a number of technical and conceptual limitations. But considering the universe in which it is inspired and the audience it targets, the game has merits in adopting a light tone and a silly humor like few titles nowadays and thus proving to be a fun experience to share with the family.

90 / 100 - Signalis
Nov 23, 2022

Signalis is a pleasant surprise explicitly inspired by the best-known survivor horrors of the 1990s. The title adopts typical 32-bit mechanics and aesthetics to build a sci-fi horror that manages to establish an immersive and thought-provoking identity.

Return to Monkey Island is remarkably balanced in bringing the new and the classic together for a cohesive, nostalgic and relevant work that celebrates the legacy of the franchise while elevating it to a new level in today's entertainment industry.

Them's Fightin' Herds is an excellent fighting game that definitely deserves respect for its high audiovisual quality and solid gameplay, both online and offline. Not even the modest cast and uneven pace of the story mode detract from the fun and well-rounded experience of a game that exudes care and competence.

Rivalia: Dungeon Raiders gathers ideas already established in the market, but does little with any of them. Without standing out in any aspect, it is functional, it does the basic, but it never goes beyond that, and that is little, very little.

Batora: Lost Heaven does not set out to develop sophisticated mechanics or a highly explorable universe, but stands out for the simplicity with which it implements its progression and customization systems, focusing on the development of a linear action guided by a typical hero's journey narrative.

Let's Build a Zoo excels at balancing the already traditional mechanics of management games with huge doses of charisma and fun. However, it is in the genetic manipulation system and in the challenge of caring for its illustrious guests where it proves most brilliant, not by bringing megalomaniacal ideals, but by making what is simple into something enchanting.
