Just like its predecessors, Cyber Citizen Shockman Zero is a cool game to get to know, but it hardly lasts and ends up fighting for the spotlight with modern games with the same concept.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board brings a creative and lighter approach to the anime, ideal for those who want to explore the Demon Slayer universe in games with friends. Playing alone might make things a little more drawn out, but it's still a great option for anyone who is a fan of the saga and enjoys board games.

8 / 10.0 - Neosprint
Jun 27, 2024

NeoSprint is not intended to be an exponent of the racing genre, but the way in which the title has been revitalized makes it very inviting for those who want the light fun that an arcade game provides. The colorful and cartoonish style was a wise choice and the generous amount of content is a great choice for those who like the mix of retro style with something more modern.

The Smurfs - Village Party has good intentions and ideas, no doubt. Using the Adventure mode to get players to know each minigame in a natural way is an excellent choice, but the multiplayer part, which should be the biggest appeal, ends up lacking. Even so, this is another Smurfs game worth having at home to perhaps play with friends.

9 / 10.0 - Horizon Chase 2
May 30, 2024

Horizon Chase 2 amplifies the qualities of its predecessor and delivers an excellent arcade racing game. Even with few game modes and the absence of a specific focus on multiplayer, the title is extremely fun and just as challenging, making it suitable for hours of solo or accompanied play.

7 / 10.0 - Rainbow Cotton
May 14, 2024

Finally having Rainbow Cotton with us gives us a panorama (unintended pun) of the candy-hungry witch's virtual evolution. However, even though the game by itself is fine, it deserved more than a graphic upgrade, gameplay refinements and extra resources to make it totally modern instead of a mere revamped port.

7.5 / 10.0 - Top Spin 2K25
May 7, 2024

It took more than a decade for the franchise to come back, and TopSpin 2K25 may be a good start, but it's still far from the ideal. While the list of players and locations doesn't disappoint, and is accompanied by a clear and straightforward gameplay, the underexplored content and even the DLC seasons show that there's room for improvement and, thus, its return to the rankings top and the players' hearts.

Unfortunately, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants offers an experience far below expectations for a Ninja Turtles beat 'em up. The visual identity based on a more “recent” animation, even though there are already newer ones at the moment, could have been a great element, but the bland and uninteresting set ended up affecting what could be another great group game.

7.5 / 10.0 - Lunar Lander Beyond
Apr 26, 2024

For those who were used to the Recharged templates that Atari's classics had been using in recent years, Lunar Lander Beyond came with a new and very good proposal, revitalizing an icon in gaming history. However, the game focuses too much on a story mode, leaving the arcade roots of its original source a little aside.

6.5 / 10.0 - Moonglow Bay
Apr 9, 2024

The fact that Moonglow Bay has already been released previously for other platforms increases the size of its problems, as they should have already been fixed. Furthermore, what we have here is a game with a simple and captivating proposal, but which is greatly hampered by several execution errors and considerable flaws.

9 / 10.0 - Freedom Planet 2
Apr 8, 2024

Freedom Planet 2 manages to be a great sequel and an excellent example of how to use a classic inspiration in a declared way, but implementing its own personality, without ending up becoming a mere copy of other famous franchises. It's a must-have title for anyone who likes adventure and action in the good old platform style.

7 / 10.0 - One Last Breath
Apr 3, 2024

One Last Breath focused on the narrative and left its gameplay with simpler features. This was a wise choice, but a little more care would have been welcome, from the inclusion of more scenes to greater graphic polish. The gameplay would also need some adjustments, but overall, it's an adventure that manages to deliver what it promises without disappointing.

6 / 10.0 - Match Village
Mar 29, 2024

The Match Village proposal is indeed interesting, but it could bring more basic features for players, such as presenting the nomenclature of each available building, even if it were in a guide menu; because confusing some similar houses can ruin a game for a while. The need to move the camera all the time is also a little frustrating, which can turn the mission of populating your village into something stressful.

6.5 / 10.0 - Juicy Realm
Mar 19, 2024

Even with some structural flaws, arising from its mobile nature, Juicy Realm is a fun and charismatic roguelike for those who want quick games, but without any frenzy. Now, if you are a more hardcore fan of the genre, you will end up losing interest and opt for the more intense challenge from other more famous names.

8.5 / 10.0 - WWE 2K24
Mar 12, 2024

With significant upgrades, even while playing safe, WWE 2K24 solidifies the path the franchise has started walking in the last two years, leaving behind the bad moments and positioning itself as the main game for wrestling in the generation.

8 / 10.0 - qomp2
Mar 6, 2024

What qomp2 offers players is a range of well-structured challenges that manage to deliver a lot with little. Even though it ends quickly, it's the kind of adventure that's worth every second invested.

Top Racer Collection had a simple task: make a landmark of the racing genre accessible to everyone. But what was seen goes further, showing that the franchise's three decades of life received due care and great current resources to bring together fans of Top Gear, I mean, Top Racer, across the globe.

For better or worse, Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] preserves the series identity with subtle upgrades that impact the gameplay positively. It's little for a wait of over a decade but there's no denying it's an excellent 2D fighter in the market.

10 / 10.0 - Tekken 8
Feb 8, 2024

The Tekken franchise has always had a strong presence among other fighting games, whether due to its cohesive story or its characteristic gameplay. What Tekken 8 did was maximize the experience provided to players to a level of excellence that steals the spotlight from Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1 with perfect execution and exquisite delivery.
