Saint Kotar is an adventure title that had the potential to be very interesting. Unfortunately, its story is poorly executed, not knowing how to use the horror elements in a convincing way. In addition, the title ends up not being clear at various times in indicating the player's goals. In general, fans of the point-and-click genre may like the game, but it is not a good representative of what this style of play has to offer.

The Legend of Tianding manages to establish itself as a very high quality platform game. With an elaborated oriental atmosphere and carefully built combat, it is a practically perfect game in what it proposes and a mandatory title for any player, without exceptions.

Blue Reflection: Second Light is another good quality RPG from Gust and Koei Tecmo. Exploring the personal journeys of a group of magical girls, the game offers several ways to get to know their perspectives and realities better. With its many well-executed mechanics, except for the occasional stealth moments, the gameplay manages to convey the concept of mahou shoujo and slice of life in a way that should really amuse fans of the genres.

Cupid Parasite is an excellent representative of the otome genre, being, in general, lighter than the other Otomate works already released in the West. Even with some occasional problems, the visual novel has a unique and charming style that helps make a romantic comedy worth trying out.

Super Robot Wars 30 is a game that any fan of strategy games and giant robots needs to experience. With a fair amount of represented artwork, a well-written story and well-produced combat animations, finally having a western release of the series is a dream come true.

Hermitage: Strange Case Files offers an interesting supernatural mystery experience. Unfortunately, the narrative has a bad rhythm and translation issues make it harder to understand. Despite that, if the player can ignore those issues, this is a really curious story to enjoy here.

Tunche is a very beautiful roguelike with fluid combat. Its cartoonish look helps to offer a light and charming representation of the culture of Amazon Forest people. Although it quickly tends to repeat itself, it's a title worth trying out.

The Dark Pictures franchise continues to produce high-quality narrative horror pieces. For fans of the genre, they are well worth exploring. The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes shows that the developer is learning from player feedback and that there is still room for improvement with each new game. It is expected that Bandai and Supermassive will continue to invest in polishing the experience and strengthening the series with each new game.

Corpse Party continues to be a good example of the horror genre. With its high graphic and sound quality, compelling story and charismatic characters, the 2D title should not be underestimated. For those who haven't played it yet, it's an excellent pick for the Halloween, but the new additions to the Switch version are small to justify buying it again for those who have already experienced one of its previous releases.

Lyrica 2: Stars Align is an excellent addition to the Switch game library. The charming combination of modern music and eastern tradition still is a remarkable feature. Despite a few translation issues reducing the experience quality, the game is a must-have for rhythm game fans and newcomers alike.

Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi is exactly what you should expect from a dungeon crawler RPG. It's an experience that's the complete package, bringing soft changes to the formula while maintaining itself simple enough to be a good entry point in the genre. Nonetheless, there are other titles that are more interesting in the market and its small issues weaken the product's value overall.

The Good Life is an experience that can be quite frustrating for some players. Representing the life of an ordinary worker in a bizarre setting, the game weighs its hand on elements of management that are sure to displease a fair amount of people. However, for those who manage to go further, taking advantage of all the charisma of the game and its unusual proposal, there is a beautiful experience to be found here.

For those who have enjoyed The Outer Worlds a lot, Murder on Eridanos is certainly a good way to enjoy your time in Bonança even more. With a vast planet, several optional missions and a good story, the trip to Eridanos is an extension that understands and explores well the universe of an RPG that already had high quality.

Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is an RPG with a really engaging story. Based on Chinese legends, it offers a solid experience that proves the series value as an Oriental classic. Despite a few small issues, it's a title that any fan of the genre should have the chance to experience. Hopefully one day it'll be possible to also play the other games in the franchise in English and maybe even Portuguese.

Sable is a game with an artistic intent, it incites thought on the meaning of life through its enchanting journey. Unfortunately, for a game focused on quests, the title should offer information more clearly and in a more accessible fashion. Nonetheless, the experience is overall really rich and interesting, turning it into an easy recommendation for adventure games fans and those looking for artistic experiences. I hope that eventual patches will fix the game's main issues.

Olympia Soirée is a good pick for fans of otome games and visual novels in a broad sense. Inspired by japanese culture and working with social critique, the title presents a really compelling world. Besides that, it seems to indicate Aksys Games has learned from its mistakes in the translation of Café Enchanté, renewing the hope that upcoming titles will also be of high quality.

Featuring a world of cuddly anthropomorphic animals, Kitaria Fables is a game that manages to balance action and simulation elements. It focuses on generating a cycle of combat, gathering materials and obtaining items, creating a pleasant experience. Gamers who enjoy action and farm games will likely enjoy it at their own pace. However, the feeling is that the game could go a little further to make something more memorable.

Despite the performance issues at the end of the game, Arboria is a good action roguelike experience. Any fans of the genre will enjoy the title a lot and probably won't be bothered by its repetitiveness or its other slight flaws.

Prinny Presents NIS Classics Vol. 1 is a collection of good strategy games that, for fans of the genre, is worth checking out. Unfortunately, the lack of polish makes the titles not look as good as they should in a re-release, especially the Soul Nomad port, but they are still high quality titles from Nippon Ichi Software's collection.
