Dog Man: Mission Impawsible may be a more childish title, but it is still an interesting adventure for those who want a platform game that is not too complex and even want a gateway to get to know Dog Man and his stories. The charisma of Dav Pilkey's universe was very well translated and manages to be as funny as the books.

Snow Bros. Wonderland is a great revitalization of an old franchise. Although the calm difficulty may leave something to be desired for those who wanted something more intense, the title offers a good variety of worlds, easy-to-learn gameplay, and a great replayability factor. If you're looking for a platform game to play without any commitment, especially with your children, Tom Jr. and Nick Jr. may be the right choice.

[...]I give kudos to Love Too Easily for managing to bring the dorama universe, even if in a simple form, to games, and not restricting it[s gameplay] to choosing paths but also using minigames to illustrate the comic and tragic life of the protagonist that just wanted some love.

Aero the Acro-Bat: Rascal Rival Revenge is the bland and melancholic end to the franchise ports. This title in particular would have been better if accompanying the original game port, as it, as an originally handheld title, doesn't offer enough features to justify buying it alone, unlike the others.

Rage of the Dragons NEO really is an excellent fighting game from its time, and all the work to bring it back is welcome, be it for curious individuals or genre enthusiasts. Unfortunately, the absence of crossplay is a notable absence, which makes it more fun for those who will play it alone or locally.

Tetris Forever lovingly presents some examples of how Tetris has evolved and kept up with the early days of video games without losing relevance, even 40 years later. If you, like me, are a fan of historical records of classic games, make sure you have this collection in your collection.

Totally Spies! - Cyber Mission manages to deliver a good adaptation of the spies cartoon in its essence, but it errs in not adding at least a small dose of action to the gameplay. Because of that, we have a good mix of stealth and puzzle, but it ends up feeling a little tiresome and dragged out.

Irem Collection Volume 2 is interesting for bringing titles that would serve as inspiration for Metal Slug and that are excellent jewels by themselves, all of them with great emulation. It's a shame that the production context isn't presented to the player, leaving the curious ones to their devices in searching for info on the internet.

Blazing Strike's intentions were great but various execution issues, along with the meager options and lack of any elements that could give it more replay value, make the title unappealing amidst others that offer much more at a lower cost. If it at least improved the combat and had a trophy system that made the player explore its visually varied cast, it would be a big step to accompany the artistic style that right now is the only highlight.

Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel is yet another of the thousands of 90's games that were great but ended up overshadowed by Mario and Sonic. The opportunity to revisit this title is very welcome, as it manages to be better and more charismatic than the "actual" franchise. It's just a shame that once again the poor presentation and being sold separately from the others hinder the experience of enjoying the whole series.

Unfortunately, Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports is a game with a great idea but weak execution that doesn't do Bugs Bunny and company justice. At least the good use of references shows that the formula of putting these iconic characters in sports competitions can work — it just needs more competent gameplay to keep the fun from getting lost along the way.

NBA 2K25 does a good job refining the gameplay and improving the feeling of realism in the matches, including the visual aspect. MyLeague amazes with its excellent, varied simulation options that go from the draft to a manager's office life. However, the microtransactions aggressiveness takes away all the potential and fun MyTeam and MyCareer could have. This and the absence of Showcase and MyNBA ERAS show signs that the franchise will soon have to reinvent itself not to become more of the same in a streak.

Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland has two very big extremes. While the gameplay is quite unfair and the level design has several flaws that harm the player's experience, the artwork shows immense affection for the original material, which captivates those who watched the cartoon at the time. Still, unfortunately, it's not worth getting angry just for the nostalgic appeal.

What happened to Aero the Acro-bat 2 is quite frustrating. The game itself is somewhat fun for a 90's platformer but the port presentation is horrendous. It doesn't even look like a planned change but the release of a beta they forgot to finish up.

Even with fewer games than the previous collection, we must recognize that MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics contains six titles that have a huge impact on the history of fighting games. The aura they exude from the first play is absurd, to the point of giving goosebumps to the most ardent fan. It's something that other more current names in the genre seem to have lost; that mix of charm and dynamism that ends up leading whoever is in control to always play just one more game after the "last one". If you've never played any of these gems, now is the time. If you were already a fan, feel blessed with the best collection of fighting games currently available.

The arrival of Asphalt Legends Unite on PlayStation also helps draw attention to the updates made on other consoles, but it also shows a great potential sealed by the greed of microtransactions. I understand that it is a free game and that some monetization should exist, but the way of limiting players and forcing them to buy expensive passes and packs takes the shine off what could be an excellent arcade racing game.

Castaway brought a well planned mix of elements to compose an adventure that's brief but has an interesting level of challenge. If it offered more dungeon and enemy variation, it'd definitely get the highlight it deserves as its gameplay and mechanics are fun enough to make players keep playing even the repetitive floors of the Tower.

F1 Manager 2024 offers a unique experience for motorsport enthusiasts who want to learn more about the science of the sport. This simulator may not be suitable for those who want something lighter and more to the point, but if you like to know every part of the calendar, from the beginning to the end, as well as the circuits, you will be entertained by each stage of your team's journey towards the title.

Steel Racer is a title that tries to evoke the good spirit of 90s arcade racing games, but it slips up by making everything too easy, to the point of becoming a bit tiresome. The visuals and soundtrack even try to make things more interesting, but they are overshadowed by the gameplay that needs some more striking features.

Aero the Acro-Bat's return isn't something of great public demand but it's also undeniable that it was one of those cartridges always available on some rental store. For some [people], this port is a bittersweet reencounter with the past, while for others it's proof that they were right to save on their past money. Aero may not have been the favorite mascot of its generation but, for those looking for a trip down memory lane, this is your chance.
