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.

King of Seas is a good piracy-themed game, but it doesn't seem to have found a perfect balance between a solid management system and engaging, exciting gameplay. It has its aesthetic limitations and merits in an adventurous narrative, but it lacks repetitiveness and frustratingly tedious passages.

Skate City is nice and offers very intuitive systems, with a list of well-balanced challenges that value the learning of different skills. However, as it is an experience initially thought for mobile, it offers very little in terms of aesthetics, is repetitive and has limited and uninspired content.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is fun when we ignore some of its most severe limitations. It's a good mix between stealth and hack n 'slash action with a somewhat one-dimensional protagonist as in a good action movie from the 90s, but that at the same time begins to build an interesting universe full of possibilities.

Windfolk: Sky Is Just The Beginning offers a light, relatively short and hassle-free adventure. With simple and well executed mechanics, it brings fun in the flight systems, but a combat without much shine. Artistically, it has higher than low, while narratively it owes little to exploring the world it created himself.

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.

Commandos 2 remains a must have game for fans of classic RTS games, although it gives its age in some mechanics already outdated.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.

In terms of script, photography and art, The Complex dares little, with a direction that is sometimes confusing and problems in the construction of some ramifications that it proposes. However, it entertains and places itself as a good example of the so-called full motion videos, offering a sci-fi suspense that is very suitable for fans of the genre, a certain diversity of significant choices and an audiovisual quality in the average of other similar productions.

Bookbound Brigade brings some very interesting innovations to the already traditional metroidvania style, especially in the setting and design of a protagonist ensemble and not a lone hero. It has a very competent level design, but it fails in what could stand out the most: the combat system and the change of formation, leaving an almost contradictory feeling where the fun, from time to time, gives way to frustration.

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey brings a bold and innovative proposal in terms of the theme and mechanics of experimentation and exploration of an inhospitable and dangerous environment, but it carries too much in some of these aspects and, above all, in the need for numerous iterations, which take the game to a sameness that soon replaces the sense of novelty of the early hours.

It is a game that brings breathe to a disdained genre, but that seems stuck in a past time. And we are not talking about feudal China.

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.

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.

Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections finally brings the entire saga of its protagonist to one game, along with a plethora of iconic characters from the franchise. Its mechanics and aesthetics, however, recycle everything that was already present in the previous games, with qualities and defects, which should please longtime fans and put off anyone else.

Haunted House is exactly what you'd expect from a conventional roguelite, favoring stealth over direct combat. Abusing a cartoonish art style, it offers good, but sometimes unstable mechanics, as well as a solid but repetitive and not always rewarding progression model.

Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The London Case follows the patterns of its predecessor and delivers a great mystery plot worthy of the author's best works. With simple mechanics and a shaky look, however, its best qualities are in the way the investigation is conducted and the twists that only good stories of the genre can provide.

Adore makes the mix between capturing creatures and exploring dungeons an exciting and charismatic adventure. The repetitiveness can get tiring and the level design is quite simple, but with well-built monsters and a nice team customization system, the game can surprise and entertain.

Even though it demands a lot from the player right from the start and it doesn't have the nicest interface, especially for console players, Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening is a legitimate representative of the genre. The title appropriates everything that has done best in the past decades, rewarding the dedicated and studious with fascinating stories, complex management systems and great options for achieving glory.
