Harold Halibut may not be the most innovative game in terms of intervention mechanics in the world, apart from making some slips in the rhythm of the narrative, but it is undeniable that the sum of its powerful story and its spectacular art style make this one of the most irresistible games of recent times.

Let's! Revolution! It's a great game that mixes problem-solving, sharp strategy, and turn-based action, reveling in the obvious references and conventions of the roguelike genre. Although it lacks a certain provocative spice, it is an addictive, well-reasoned, and absolutely entertaining game.

Loretta is short, brings unjustifiable puzzles and can be dragged for those who are not fans of the narrative genre. But even in the face of all this, it is dense, mature, visually beautiful in an unconventional way and brings a strong, unsettling and disturbing plot, as any good classic thriller should be.

Freedom Planet 2 takes its inspirations from one of the biggest franchises in video game history, but refines mechanics, design, and narrative that had already been introduced in the previous game. The sequel manages to improve on what was great and becomes one of the best exponents of the genre.

Alone in the Dark may not be the most inventive game in the genre, but it's extremely competent in everything it proposes. Combat, exploration, and storytelling are excellent, with a beautiful noir setting, slipping in a few visual and rhythmic details. The original survivor horror is back, and in a big way!

More than a recommendation for its unique accessibility features, The Vale: Shadow of the Crown is, as a whole, a robust and very well articulated project. Aside from the lack of localization and advanced features of the new generation, it's an absolutely necessary game for each of us, psychics or not.

Outcast: A New Beginning is very far from any remnant of innovation and may disappoint those who expect something different from what the market already has in droves. But at the same time, it is honest in its simplest and most straightforward proposal, being able to entertain enthusiasts for a good open-world shootout.

Akka Arrh is a near-sensory psychedelic experience, offering challenging, non-stop action that appropriates precise but hard-to-master mechanics. There's a purposefully confusing look, with touches of modernity supporting an idea misunderstood decades ago.

Mediterranea Inferno challenges the narrative, social and emotional conventions of what we have already seen in visual novels, and gets it right by problematizing conveniences in an unabashed and incisive way, without shame in saying, showing or poking at themes that are still so sensitive in a world that prefers to ignore its own scars.

Without any big news or any innovations, Hiveswap Friendsim has in the well-written text and in unexpected situations its greatest strength. Visually unstable and mechanically simple, it's a recommendation for fans of the genre who don't expect to get involved with a great story, but rather with the misadventures of a friend-making aficionado.

Pesterquest is a direct sequel, in terms of theme, story, and mechanics, to the previous game. Without any substantial improvement, what is left is the same sharp text, but one that doesn't dare beyond what we've seen before in the franchise. Even with some visual improvements, it's nothing more than a "more-of-the-same".

Ufouria: The Saga 2 stands out against a backdrop of reheated content because it is not limited to a simple emulation of what was already established. By daring in form, aesthetics and content, the game stands out for its simplicity, charisma, and especially for not using nostalgia as a crutch.

Promenade is delicate, light and full of life, without being simple-minded or silly. With beautiful visuals and sharp mechanics, the game brings a series of intriguing and challenging tasks that value the player's ability to deal with problems, thus offering a fun and, at the same time, rewarding experience.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is excellent in everything it proposes and certainly has the best ingredients to please different audiences, even the most skeptical. Fluid, beautiful, objective and exciting in the right measure, the game is a sure presence on my list of favorites in the genre.

Bahnsen Knights is awkward, short, and gangly. It has uncomfortable controls and isn't even available in Portuguese. None of this, however, takes away from the game its best narrative qualities, bold artistic style and a very particular way of promoting a good immersive experience worthy of its best inspirations.

Bem Feito has a very short useful life, but considering the inventiveness of the proposal based on great references, especially for the old school audience, it proposes a very different experience from what we are used to – all this with quality, care and a kind of morbid affection.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is definitely not one of the most daring and inventive games, but it offers an honest and consolidated gameplay cycle for us to live a cohesive and fascinating journey through a visually magnificent open world worthy of the work in which it is inspired.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is, at best, a mediocre base-building and environmental exploration game, but most of the time it does everything worse when compared to other similar works. Add in the disappointing combat experience, a forgettable story, and a lackluster aesthetic, and there's something here that's bad as a game, even worse as part of a universe as incredible as the one created by Tolkien.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin is a very worthy adaptation of this universe for games, even if it gets lost in the interface for the DualSense. The linearity and restrained scope of the adventure may bother those expecting an RTS of large proportions. But with anticipation in place, there's plenty to enjoy here.

As a complete game, The King of Fighters XIII: Global Match is exceptional and almost indefectible, but the justification of relaunching it with a remodeled online system using the best that is currently ends up proving to be a shot in the foot, with an unstable, incomplete result and full of choices, including aesthetic, questionable.
