Aces of the Multiverse is a creative sigh bringing fresh ideas to the sports world, specially to our beloved soccer. With very interesting audio-visual solutions, it stumbles horribly in an overly simplistic gameplay and mainly in the absence of content. It presents some good ideas, but ends up failing for not knowing how to exploit them so well.

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".

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.

Alfred Hitchcock: Vertigo is a beautiful tribute to the style that immortalized one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, offering an interesting and unusual suspense plot in games. However, even full of good intentions, it fails by offering extremely simple mechanics, which end up hindering immersion instead of favoring it.

Kaichu: The Kaiju Dating Sim is inventive in its proposal, but it turns out to be a better in paper. With functional but shallow mechanics, story, and visuals, the game has very little to offer other than curiosity about the topic and runs out of steam very quickly, before we even get attached to its friendly little monsters in love.

Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards has important cultural inspirations, but its protocol narrative structure, the plastered gameplay model, and visuals that fall short of the work on which it is based weaken its full potential and make it an ordinary and forgettable game.

It has merits, but there is still a long way to go before it becomes what it should be.

Can't Drive This brings out the best in the concept of asymmetric collaborative multiplayer (local or online) with simplified track-building and vehicle driving gameplay, but offers little audiovisual and variability content within each mode, which can impair the longevity of production. Although limited, it has a creative and very fun idea to share with friends and family.

Kill It With Fire offers an inventive proposal that is lost by not evolving the concept of the absurd that the game itself presents. It is a fun game, but it could be much more if it dared to go beyond a repeated idea over the few hours of the campaign.

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.

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.

Hellpoint is a good, but not great, action RPG inspired by the soulslike sub-genre with competent but poor sci-fi ambience. If it looks dated and uninspired visually, it has in its combat system – even with some downsides – its appeal. It brings innovative aspects, but it should please only fans of the genre who have their expectations in check.

SAND LAND has its merits in respecting and expanding the original work of the legendary Akira Toriyama. But when it comes to narrative and design, it fails in combat and exploration systems: as generic and uninteresting as a desert full of sand and... more sand.

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.

NASCAR Arcade Rush is exactly what it promises, delivering a streamlined, casual racing game without any specialized complicators or the like. Abusing the colors in a charming look, it offers a light and uncompromising gameplay, perfect for lazy afternoons, but far from the sophistication that many motorsports fans expect.

There is no doubt that Potata: Fairy Flower is a good child-themed platform game set in a beautiful fantasy world. Unfortunately, the lackluster mechanics, lack of localization, disjointed puzzles and a bad level design do not make it stand out in a universe full of great other options.

Zool Redimensioned brings back a brand forgotten in time 30 years after its original release, standing out for its still sharp gameplay, an intense graphic style, and some adaptations to modernize the experience. However, some additions that interfere with the game's dynamics and the lack of other necessary adjustments put the game at a disadvantage, especially in comparison with its rivals of yesteryear and with more recent examples of the genre.

There is no doubt that Stray Blade manages to appropriate well the mechanics that have become popular in recent years and it does so in a game that is concerned with its narrative and its fantasy look. But some flaws in the combat and exploration design end up undermining some of its best ideas, which doesn't take away its merits, but unfortunately overshadows the experience as a whole.

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.

Port Royale 4 brings good solutions for the genre and will certainly please many people interested in resource management, period commercial systems and the nautical theme as a whole. But it's important to know that it's a much more bureaucratic than an adventurous game, having a lot more backstage than action.
