Despite the technical errors, Card Shark manages to fulfill exactly what it set out to do in an exemplary way. It's a seductive cheating game with a unique classic atmosphere. Bearing in mind that this is an experience of performing tricks without worrying about the actual rules of the games themselves, it is definitely worth checking out.

Touken Ranbu Warriors is a Musou-style game that seeks to offer a good gateway to its genre while adapting elements of the swordboys' multimedia franchise. Despite being somewhat simple and easy, especially in its initial missions, the game is competent in offering varied action and an atmosphere that draws attention.

Research and Destroy is a very interesting strategy game that mixes management elements (for research) with a very unique tactical combat model. Unfortunately, there is a feeling that the game has chosen to focus on the player's reaction instead of valuing more strategic possibilities, which ends up giving the feeling of a bad and punishing design. However, fans of strategy games interested in other possibilities of the genre can have fun with the unusual concept.

Cotton Fantasy is a shoot’em up that works as an ideal entrypoint to the genre and also offers enough fun for those who already are veterans. With a variety of character options that significantly change the gameplay and a clear care for the franchise, it's a game that's definitely recommendable to anyone looking for a good shoot ‘em up experience.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is an action RPG that makes a good introduction to the Eiyuden universe. It's a vivid world that, at least in this prologue, is worth getting to know, despite the artificial handling of the narrative and gameplay progression being a point that devalues the game a little.

Seven Pirates H is a charismatic RPG focused on its ecchi aspect just like its predecessors in the Genkai Tokki franchise. Though there are some issues in the gameplay and narrative, any player looking for charismatic girls and an experience that doesn't shy away from exploring eroticism in its many layers will likely enjoy the game a lot.

Rogue Legacy 2 is a perfect example of what action roguelikes can offer. With robust gameplay systems and a proposal that does not use procedural generation as a crutch, it is simply a must-see.

Prinny Presents NIS Classics Vol. 2 is a new release of two high profile titles from Nippon Ichi Software's history. Despite doing only the mininum a collection should, the games still showcase their qualities and keep their status as good references of their respective genres. It's a recommendation RPG fans can't miss, especially those who already loved any other NIS works.

Lila's Sky Ark is a game that catches the eye with its more psychedelic world-building style. It is a very curious game in its narrative and gameplay proposal, but unfortunately its clear artificiality weakens the experience considerably. I recommend the title to anyone who wants a charming and relatively short abstract adventure that strays a little from the most typical.

Watcher Chronicles is a title with solid gameplay, good variety of equipments and values the player's thinking and reflexes. However, it presents a strong feeling of a totally generic experience due to its ambientation and story being totally disposable. Despite that, if this factor does not bother you, this is a really competent 2D Soulslike.

Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is a collection of two unmissable titles for fans of RPGs and good storytelling. Unfortunately, the edition has a number of technical issues, making it difficult to recommend it to general players. Even with its problems, however, it is a worthwhile experience. I hope the company corrects the current situation so that Chrono Cross can shine.

Chinatown Detective Agency is an investigation game with an atypical proposal, which seeks to encourage the player to research on their own in the real world. Despite this, it is a very limited experience and one that deserved more polishing to really become a good example of the genre.

Ikai is a horror game with a solid atmosphere and that's its main strength. Unfortunately, its tendency to jumpscare and poorly implemented puzzles cause the game to lose its momentum. Because of this, much of the gameplay feels more like an inconvenience than essential to the experience. Even so, fans of the genre will probably enjoy it a lot.

Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars is a competent action game. Despite being limited and clearly low-budget, it is a fun game that both fans of both franchises and people interested only in good action should appreciate.

Doukyuusei: Bangin’ Summer is an interesting classic game, especially for its historical value. Though its story has sexist elements that may annoy some players and the management aspect is too restrictive, it's worth diving into this work. It is especially recommended for people interested in knowing a little more of a genre with such a major influence in Japan.

UuultraC is another unique BL title from ADELTA and it’s easy to see improvements to the Kurosawa Rinko artstyle. However, the messy delivery of its plot keeps it from living up to its potential with a confusing narrative style that hinders the experience more than it does improve it. Even so, fans of the genre are likely to enjoy this wild ride and should give this experimental work a try.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land knows how to make the most of the strengths of the pink puffball franchise to deliver a game that is undeniably one of its greatest peaks. Although the transition to a fully three-dimensional world took many years, Kirby's new game manages to stay true to what has always been the essence of the series: fun accessible to all and a beautiful challenge for those who want to delve deeper into the exploration of their world.
