Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires is a solid action game, but it deserved more polish. I had fun playing it, but there are more interesting titles on the market and the Switch version is definitely not ideal. Even so, perhaps a newbie to the style like myself might consider it a good gateway to exploring other similar games.

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.

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.

Out of Line doesn’t break the mold of adventure games but still manages to offer a straightforward puzzle experience through a gorgeous hand-painted world. There’s fun to found during each movement of gameplay, but the lack of challenge and the minimalistic narrative doesn’t make for an engaging time. It’s a low-impact puzzle adventure that could easily be enjoyed for a nice afternoon game session.
Essays on Empathy is a glance at Deconstructeam’s history. The games are clever and enjoyable, showing the team’s auteur tone as they explore different gameplay styles. People fond of unique, experimental games are likely to enjoy this collection, though some would have benefitted from developing their concepts further.
Atelier Mysterious Trilogy DX is the lowest point of the franchise. While Lydie & Suelle present a better structured game, the first two try to experiment with the formula, but end up making problematic design decisions. Firism, in particular, has a nasty bug that can prevent the player from taking the final exam. Fans of the series are likely to have fun with the titles in their own way, but the new edition is also not justified for those who originally played the trilogy.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is an expensive package (priced above the 1.5 + 2.5 collection) and difficult to recommend to anyone who hasn't plunged into the franchise. For fans who haven't had the opportunity to play it yet, there is a small, yet interesting, exclusive content to explore. Unfortunately, the PC version specifically has few graphical configuration options, weakening the appeal of having access to this version.

Even more than the previous game, Code: Realize ~ Wintertide Miracles ~ is a work entirely dependent on its predecessors. For those who haven't played them yet, the title has little to offer. However, for those who already love the characters and would like to extend their time with Cardia and her boyfriends / friends, it's guaranteed fun.

Cultist Simulator: Initiate Edition can be described as an exotic combination. The game mixes resource management, cards and narrative with obscure aspects, but the result is a title that stumbles on a vague and obtuse experience. Even so, it offers a very peculiar dark atmosphere, which can motivate players to plunge headlong into the gameplay based on trial and error.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a good RPG with an interesting futuristic world, solid brazillian adaptation work and gameplay mechanics that allows certain flexibility on solving the missions. However, to the same extent, the game suffers from many bugs and, even without them, it would not be in a position to meet all the expectations by presenting a limited customization and a narrative in which choices have little impact. Without all the hype in mind, there is an interesting journey that I hope can shine properly with future updates.

Drawn to Life: Two Realms could have been a little more. The concept of making it into a puzzle platformer is interesting, but the challenges can go from a walk in the park to asking for advanced comprehension in an instant. Further, some small quality-of-life issues make progress feel slow and slightly cumbersome. Nonetheless, it can offer a good deal of fun for fans of the genre and people who have been dying to see the characters again.
In general, Uppers is a beat ‘em up whose combat is quite fun, but small technical defects end up weakening the experience. It is still worth checking out for enthusiasts of the genre since the combat offers good variety and exaggerated blows, but it does not stand out in comparison to what already exists in the market.

Yumeutsutsu is a curious story that uses a small game development company as the basis for a romance with hints of drama. Even with a protagonist that it not very interesting and with some writing problems, it is worth checking out if the player is interested in following a little of the routine of women producing games at the same time that they relate lovingly.

Particularly, I still consider Deadly Premonition 2 spectacular, but it is necessary that the player has a lot of patience to deal with its flawed aspects. I am deeply perplexed that there was no such care, because the product could have been a masterpiece. Still, I recommend it for those who, like me, are not afraid to take a chance on works that, even if they are not polished, still offer a lot of fun.

Uchikano - Living With My Lovers is a simple visual novel but it manages to deliver exactly what it sets out to do with quality. It's a story about people that end up creating a home together and it respects the humanity of its characters with the many detail layers. With a lighthearted and fun plot, it's a pleasant read and an easy recommendation for someone looking for a simple entry in the genre.

As the first release of the series in Portuguese, The Jackbox Party Pack 10 offers a very good and diverse experience. The dubbing and the addition of Brazilian cultural elements are well-placed resources that help make the experience feel as natural as a good party game should be. Brazil is expected to receive invitations to have fun in the coming years as well.

Detective Pikachu Returns isn't among the best adventure games, but it presents a solid experience especially designed for newcomers to the genre. Despite some mistakes, fans of the original title will really like the new experience, which manages to have a consistent evolution in relation to its predecessor.

Venba is an adventure that seeks to value the simple habits passed from one generation to the next. The title is especially suitable for those who want a touching and short experience. However, its short duration also leads to the feeling that it could do a little more with its narrative and mechanics.

Like the other games in the franchise, Rune Factory 3 Special is an addictive mix of action RPG and farm simulation. The update adds more content to the pack, making it a great way to experience the DS classic, but the quality of the experience has left something to be desired in some respects of polish. Even so, it's a very easy recommendation for anyone who likes both genres.
