Carlos França Junior's Reviews

Husband, father and fighting games addicted. Always looking for some lost gems and nice indies as well.
Oct 24, 2025

Chicken Run: Eggstraction may have some structural flaws, but it's still a good way to continue the adventures of the birds who just want to survive without becoming lunch. The mechanics aren't complicated, and the pace is light, making it suitable for younger players or those looking for a few laughs while hiding from malicious chefs.

6 / 10.0 - Extinction Rifts
Oct 17, 2025

Extinction Rifts has a good idea in theory, but in practice it ends up lacking. The fast-paced action is good and the gameplay is just right, but it doesn't work well with dead-end corridors, forcing the player to repeat the same levels to memorize the path. It would also be great if the combo system were easier to maintain throughout the level, so that the rush doesn't turn into despair.

Timmy may have caused a bit of a mess by mixing up the Nicktoons universes with his request, but the truth is that Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny is a lighthearted adventure that deserves to be played, especially for those who enjoy and know the cartoons in it. Even if you're not that familiar with them, it's still worth enjoying the journey for its relaxed atmosphere and easy-to-grab gameplay.

8.5 / 10.0 - Mamorukun ReCurse!
Oct 8, 2025

If you're a fan of the bullet hell genre, Mamorukun ReCurse! is definitely a great choice for your library. This title has plenty of action and content, and the twin-sticker implementation makes everything more frenetic and dynamic. Now, if this isn't a genre you're very familiar with, don't worry, there are plenty of features to make it one of your favorites.

5.5 / 10.0 - Sonic Wings Reunion
Oct 7, 2025

Sonic Wings Reunion focused on reviving a past star, but without capitalizing on its glory or bringing anything new. Not even nostalgia can be a draw, given that many other franchises, such as Gradius, Darius, and X-Out, have dedicated themselves to releasing collections or remastering their main titles, adding achievements and memorabilia. The Aero Fighters' flight deserved more attention.

7 / 10.0 - Baby Steps
Oct 1, 2025

Baby Steps is clearly aimed at a specific audience, with its clueless exploration and gameplay based on trial, error, and eventual frustration. Therefore, it may not be the best choice for those who just want to enjoy an open world. However, if you're the kind of person who can compose yourself after taking at least 80 deep breaths before redoing the same thing before freaking out, Bennett Foddy's new creation is ideal for your library.

7.5 / 10.0 - Platypus Reclayed
Sep 30, 2025

Platypus Reclayed brings a picturesque combination of an unusual visual style for games in general, especially for shoot 'em ups, with a fierce difficulty level and crazy power-ups. You could even say it's a game made, and remade, with detailed and artisanal craftsmanship.

7 / 10.0 - Formula Legends
Sep 26, 2025

Formula Legends suffers from some pretty annoying structural issues that prevent it from shining as a lighter, yet still challenging, alternative for motorsport enthusiasts. The idea of featuring cars from different eras is welcome and well-explored, as is using Grand Prix races from each era to showcase the evolution of the sport itself. However, a racing game that doesn't hone your driving skills needs to urgently return to the pits for repairs.

8.5 / 10.0 - NBA 2K26
Sep 23, 2025

NBA 2K26 regains the momentum lost with the previous title, although it still suffers from an excess of microtransactions that grant unfair advantages to those willing to pay. The other game modes, which are simpler, have become bigger, better, and more fun, leveraging the legacy that the NBA and WNBA have to offer while also making it a great showcase for their improved gameplay.

Even though the ticket hunt can become a bit repetitive, it doesn't overshadow the brilliance of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. The hedgehog's entire universe was cleverly utilized in abundance across the tracks, cars, and soundtrack in a creative and well-crafted way. This is exactly what the blue blur's fans wanted and deserved. Sonic is back in the race, and to win.

8.5 / 10.0 - NHL 26
Sep 16, 2025

EA SPORTS NHL 26 is excellent in many ways. Whether you're a newcomer to the rink or someone like me who hasn't touched a title in the series since the first PlayStation, it won't be difficult to adapt to the functionality of the controls and the pace of each match. You'll be supported in the best possible way, and the various game modes further increase the fun and understanding for both laymen and curious players. It's the perfect gateway for those who want to learn about the sport and its various leagues.

Rally Arcade Classics manages to blend excellent qualities with somewhat annoying flaws. The competent handling, satisfactory track performance, and large amount of content are counterpoints that even overcome the heavy grinding and the subpar presentation. Ultimately, it's an interesting option for those looking for a more arcade-style rally with a touch of simulation.

7.5 / 10.0 - Madden NFL 26
Aug 26, 2025

EA SPORTS Madden NFL 26 manages to be a solid entry in the football franchise, featuring excellent mechanics and dynamic gameplay. The game modes are ideal for those who are passionate about the sport and its tactics, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to play a full season in a simpler and more direct way. Furthermore, the content depth is lost without the inclusion of our language—which is a shame, as there are many fans of the sport here in Brazil.

8.5 / 10.0 - Gradius Origins
Aug 20, 2025

Gradius Origins honors one of Konami's flagship franchises, demonstrating its importance to the genre and revealing a title that was previously considered a myth. Furthermore, the work done to make all titles accessible and preserve their original structure makes this collection a treasure for shoot 'em up fans of all ages.

RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business is a good sequel to the original game, but perhaps it works better as a full-fledged DLC rather than a standalone expansion. Still, the title manages to satisfactorily continue RoboCop's fight against Detroit's crime, even if occasionally some heads don't explode as intended.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 simply continued what the first one brought: a way to actively experience the anime's elaborate battles. While the experience is rich for Tanjiro and demon slayer fans, the cast could have brought more character variety and less "echo characters".

EA SPORTS College Football 26 proves it was a great decision to bring college football back to video games. Besides the skillful gameplay, the way stadiums, teams, fans, and mannerisms have been brought to the virtual environment captivates those in control to the point of wanting to discover what each playbook has to offer.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is an excellent game that continues the legacy of the previous remake: revitalizing the franchise. The vast roster of skaters, the freedom to create their own creations, and the sheer number of challenges promise many hours of gameplay for a wide range of audiences. However, omitting most of the original soundtrack and preserving THPS4's mission structure, in addition to removing classic stages, really ends up being a heavy negative point.

PATAPON 1+2 REPLAY is a duo that enchants with its theme and addictive gameplay. Even with the somewhat exhausting need to repeat tasks to get better items, the dancing creatures offer many hours of rhythmic challenges that greatly justify their original success on the PSP.

Irem Collection Volume 3 features three excellent games that didn't receive much attention upon their release, nor were they ported to the most popular consoles of the time. It would be nice to have more information about them, but having them together in a collection is already a compelling feature. Shooter fans who enjoy new interpretations of the genre will definitely enjoy this edition.
