4 / 10.0 - LASERPITIUM
Jun 17, 2023

Even if the biggest issue were only the extremely simplistic proposal, Laserpitium would still be a hard choice for anyone who isn't a hardcore shoot'em up fan. However, it went beyond: a lacking presentation, pitiful story, generic graphic style and bad gameplay, along with bad ideas in every aspect, make the game even worse. It's functional and even has some minimal qualities that maybe could, perhaps, satisfy fans of the genre; for anyone else, I'd suggest searching for other options in the stores.

5 / 10.0 - eFootball 2022
Nov 2, 2021

Unfortunately, eFootball 2022 fell short of all expectations, good or bad. The soccer game drastically changed its proposal by joining a free format, but it seems to have not planned well how to take advantage of it. With a build worthy (or not) of a demo, the game has problems in visuals, gameplay, content and mechanics in general.

Considering the competitive market and the large number of similar options, Sniper Ships: Shoot'em Up on Rails is overshadowed by failing to present relevant highlights and qualities. The game works well, has cool visuals and a soundtrack with potential, but these few positive points are sabotaged by the exaggerated difficulty and the absence of several basic elements. If you don't really like the genre, play at your own risk.

6 / 10.0 - Samurai Maiden
Dec 8, 2022

There's no denying that Samurai Maiden manages to deliver on its flagship role: an accessible hack and slash featuring beautiful anime-style schoolgirls, ninjas, and samurai. In fact, it even goes further, bringing some good qualities to players in general, such as challenging fights and interesting content. Unfortunately, a half-assed technical production and lack of focus on important elements leave the recommendation limited only to ardent fans of what it really has to offer.

6 / 10.0 - Cake Invaders
Feb 17, 2022

I'd say Cake Invaders can be compared to the traditional dessert called quindim: very simple, it's sweet and pleasant during the first bites. The issue is that, when eaten too much, it can be cloying because its excessive simplicity ends up undermining the chance of offering more interesting flavors and textures. In the end, it's a good title for people looking for an easy platinum but it doesn't offer much beyond that.

Evaluating the complete package, Redout: Space Assault is just one more on the market. The game has beautiful visuals and some good ideas, but there are serious problems with elements like the story and the gameplay. In other words, the game is functional and may even be interesting for some players, but it only takes some time to notice the issues.

6 / 10.0 - Exp Parasite
Oct 5, 2020

Exp Parasite is a platform adventure strongly inspired on classic games. On the one hand we have the qualities seen in classic titles, on the other we also have the problems. In the end, the balance is slightly positive: exploring the levels is a fun and challenging experience, with a good deal of surprises and excitement. It is recommended for players who enjoy classic experiences.

6.5 / 10.0 - Foamstars
Mar 6, 2024

It is possible to have fun with Foamstars, but you need to be lucky enough to meet other players and ignore some problems. They include a poor campaign, poorly thought out menus and excessive content monetization. The qualities are there, such as good gameplay, interesting online game modes and a diversity of characters. If it survives this shaky launch and brings competent updates, it is still possible to turn the tables; otherwise, it will be like a beautiful soap bubble, which is beautiful when it appears, but quickly disappears because it cannot sustain itself.

6.5 / 10.0 - No Son of Mine
Oct 2, 2023

Adding up all its good and bad characteristics, No Son Of Mine ends with a positive balance. The dark atmosphere is competent in the different environments that the game explores, as is the basic premise of the plot and gameplay. The issue is that the campaign is brief and full of tedious explorations. As the combats are equally repetitive, we have a somewhat limited experience. In other words, while the basic gameplay is interesting, it becomes boring quickly. Given that the game is an indie, it is commendable to see a robust production with important qualities. If today's title is used as a basis for a more sophisticated production, we will certainly have a great game. Otherwise, it's just an interesting tip for horror lovers.

6.5 / 10.0 - Killsquad
Aug 11, 2023

The years haven't been kind to Killsquad: if when originally released it wasn't already great, now its arrival on consoles is just ok. The biggest problems are due to the connection and the creation of teams, not to mention the somewhat generic proposal in general. There is fun in battles and missions, especially among friends, and with rewards that don't depend on loot boxes, but nothing that justifies a long-term investment. The suggestion is only for those who are really lovers of the genre or had already checked out the title on the PC and want to have it on the console.

6.5 / 10.0 - eFootball 2023
Sep 24, 2022

eFootball 2023 finally took the franchise out of the relegation zone, putting it in a more comfortable position. The sharper visuals, the inclusion of more teams, and the significant improvement in gameplay made the free-to-play experience adequate and fun. The thing is, some of the biggest issues remain, including limited local experience and minimally enough content.

6.5 / 10.0 - Serious Sam 4
Dec 24, 2021

Despite the regrets, Serious Sam 4 is indeed a good FPS. Not only does it feature important and classic elements of its series, including action-packed gunfights and plenty of enemies to fight, but it also has extras like co-op mode and interesting dialogue. Unfortunately, these qualities are heavily undermined by poor performance, poorly planned combat stages and bad animations. At the end, is the recommendation for fans of the franchise and lovers of the genre.

6.5 / 10.0 - Beyond a Steel Sky
Dec 9, 2021

At first glance, Beyond a Steel Sky had good potential. I was curious about its premise of solving puzzles in a story within a cyberpunk futuristic world. Though most of my expectations were met, multiple problems, including some pertaining to the performance and the plot, ended up limiting an experience that could have been a must-have experience in anyone's [game] library. The plot is good but far from spectacular, especially because of how it depends on past events. Characters are unique and charming, especially when it comes to their voices, but they have simplistic animations that aren't natural sometimes. The puzzles are interesting, even if sometimes they demand an epiphany to be solved. In the end, it's a good recommendation for those who loved Beneath a Steel Sky or the fans of the puzzle adventure genre.

6.5 / 10.0 - Rust
May 28, 2021

Rust Console Edition is not for everyone. On the one hand, there's no tutorial, the visuals aren't flashy and the gameplay is relatively slow, most of its parts are just modest and uninviting. On the other hand, if the player enjoys the survival genre and sees the package as a whole, the game provides exciting and fun runs. Future updates may change this picture, but for now, the title serves only a small niche in the market.

In theory, The Ambassador: Fractured Timelines has everything to be a great game: several types of scenarios and enemies, different weapons and equipment to use and a very interesting time control mechanic. In practice, it wastes these good qualities by being modest, offering fun but relatively simple challenges, failing to risk more on points that would make it even better. In the end, this is a suggestion for fans of the genre or for those who were curious about the game.

6.5 / 10.0 - Deck of Ashes
Jan 30, 2021

Deck of Ashes basically only appeals to its target audience. Even presenting an interesting card game system, the other elements of the game are only average. Graphics, sound, design and animations are competent, although unattractive. Therefore, we have a title highly recommended for fans of the genre, but not for those who do not enjoy the popular “heart of the cards”.

Like the long adventure from which it was inspired, Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is full of ups and downs, with a slight edge to the highs. In the end, we have a game aimed at fans of the work and anime in general, especially for those who want the complete collection now and don't want to wait for promotions.

7 / 10.0 - EA Sports FC 24
Nov 12, 2023

Like that team that ends up tied after wasting a penalty in the last minute, EA Sports FC 24 ended up basically staying the same as in recent years. In reality, the balance is slightly negative: if on the one hand the football matches still have a good dose of fun and we have a good variety of game modes, on the other the visuals remain dated, the online gameplay is bad and the dependence on purchases is increasing.

7 / 10.0 - PAYDAY 3
Oct 14, 2023

Even with a slightly disappointing start, nothing is lost for Payday 3. On the contrary: the robberies and shootouts have good qualities, such as competent visuals and performance, good gameplay and great mechanics for cooperative play. The point is that there is still a long way to go to offer a more complete experience, especially compared to its predecessor. While the necessary updates do not arrive, here is a suggestion for fans of the series and anyone who wants to prepare for a future that has the potential to be bright.

7 / 10.0 - NBA 2K24
Sep 20, 2023

If the reader is looking for casual fun, NBA 2K24 is a good option. There are many modes to play the game, with many different customization, teams and challenge options. However, if your focus is competitive matches, it's necessary to pay attention to your connection and the wallet. Maybe if the visual production was cutting-edge, we would have more reasons to overlook these issues but unfortunately it ends up as a suggestion only for fans of the basketball franchise and sports games in general.
