Nightmare Reaper is a roguelite boomer shooter that knows how to exploit the advantages of its elements to provide a frantic action experience. The title isn't perfect, especially having problems with its attempt to tell a story that could be better implemented, but it's a game that will easily appeal to fans of shooters.

Mask of the Rose is a visual novel with a plot that plays with an over-the-top supernatural situation in a well-developed context of a Victorian society. Trying to offer a lot of freedom to the player action but respecting a somewhat restrictive plot core, the work has good and bad points to it but it's a good choice for those who love interactive narratives.

Loop8: Summer of Gods is a very different RPG from the usual market. Despite having some glitches and polishing details that considerably weaken the experience, it is a type of game that people more enthusiastic about the genre or for simulators well focused on the evolution of attributes can enjoy.

Decarnation is a sensitive work whose weighty discussion is handled in a mature manner. It's a beautiful example of what can be done with video game media to portray real and urgent topics.

Though a few plot details sound a little too forced, Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 is a perfect evolution of its predecessor. The return of the kids to the battlefield is a much heavier experience and represents a significant quality leap for the narrative and gameplay, making this a must-play for RPG fans.

Labyrinth of Zangetsu offers a traditional dungeon crawler RPG experience but doesn't go beyond that simple skeleton of a concept. Only its stylized Japanese ambience is a highlight, making it hard to recommend to any person who isn't already fascinated with the genre when compared to better games in the market.

Overall, Wild Dogs is a very competent game that bets on some gameplay variety. Though this decision was a good choice, the long stages with no checkpoints make the title a little annoying and the excessive focus on the nostalgia factor reduces the originality feeling in this work. Even so, with its fair difficulty and the general technical competence, this is an easy recommendation for retro fans.

Magical Drop VI offers a good return to the series but makes a significant blunder on balancing. The Story Mode experience especially ends up unnecessarily frustrating and there are other polishment issues that deserve fixes in future updateds but fans of this long-standing franchise will feel at home.

God of Rock mixes two highly technical genres into a complex and hard to master experience. Though the game is charismatic and offers some variety in the concept of its characters, it ends up failing to present it successfully to the player, making it necessary to make a lot of effort to understand the various elements of its gameplay. Even so, this is a worthy title for players who are prepared to face the enormous frustration until they can enjoy this eccentric and unique opportunity.

Arcana of Paradise -The Tower- explores the concept of an interaction deck to create a very interesting proposal for a roguelike deckbuilder. Although the little variety of situations weighs heavily against the experience, it's still a very curious game and worth trying out.

Just like with Picross S8, Jupiter has hit the mark once again and made Picross S9 a beautiful example of what Picross can offer to newcomers and veterans. Its rich quality of life features and content continue to offer a pleasant experience and make it an easy recommendation and an excellent entrypoint for those who don't know this logic puzzle yet.

Trinity Trigger is an action RPG whose combat offers good malleability and a decent amount of content. Unfortunately, the generic narrative and the bad allies AI oare considerably negative factors for the experience and, together with some polishing details, leave the game short of what it could offer. Still, those who really like the genre will probably know how to appreciate the journey.

With considerably better storytelling than its predecessor, Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly manages to go beyond the comfortable experience of serving hot drinks to strangers. Both new characters and old acquaintances present interesting stories that reveal a very exciting world of modern fantasy and form a true family with their bonds. An easy recommendation for anyone looking for a good everyday gaming experience.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is a pack with ten games that were some of the pioneers in mixing action and deckbuilding. Not only does it preserve the titles and gives them a new presentation for modern systems, it also makes an effort to keep the qualities of the original experience intact under a new online mode and patch cards built into the system. It's a worthy collection not only for the fans but also those who love the gameplay concept, already used by many new games. However, even with a big gallery and high quality games, there's a lingering feeling that, when compared to similar compilations, Capcom could have done a little more to make the whole pack truly perfect.

Process of Elimination is a curious work that explores an unusual format for criminal investigation. For those who love the genre and want to see this tactical element mix, it's an interesting game but the repetitive narrative hindered by multiple plot conveniences significantly weaken the experience, just as the fact the title could have explored its mechanics' possibilities further.

The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a very competent way to revisit the blue hedgehog universe from a totally different angle. Made with a lot of polishment for its characters, the game mixes a simple but well-executed point-and-click with isometric platforming sections to create a must-play experience for fans that's also worth it for those who just want a good adventure game to pass time.

Road 96: Mile 0 tries to explore a dystopic ambient through the lens of two teenagers with their own convictions. The end result is an emotional journey but with a forced script and many quality of life issues that severely hinder the experience. Even so, to fans of adventure titles with emotional character focus, it's worth a recommendation.

GrimGrimoire OnceMore is a really interesting RTS with a remarkable, well-planned world. The high quality Vanillaware illustrations are only the cherry on top of a cake any strategy fan should give a try.
