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.

Frogun Encore could have offered much more as a sequel. Some improvements, such as the level structure and the inclusion of a cooperative mode, were a great idea, but practically none of the previous game's mistakes were fixed; some things were even made worse, such as the camera. This, together with the month-long wait to enjoy the game with the due fix, may have scared away those who were curious to enjoy the sequel to the adventures of Renata and her little frog.

YEAH! YOU WANT "THOSE GAMES," RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET'S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM! 2 may even be a good idea as a compilation, and it's no wonder it's in its second edition. There's no visual or sound quality, as the focus is on dynamic games, but the simple mobile charm works well here. Even so, it'd be good to refine the controls, which become the main stars of these minigames.

Retro Revengers is one of those titles that promises little but accomplishes its mission very well. It's a shame it doesn't have more stages and is too short, as this atypical group of friends could definitely have some great adventures.

Over Horizon X Steel Empire is an interesting mix even if for a specific player niche.

Having a crossover like SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos returning is something that is always worth highlighting, as it was a landmark title upon its initial release and is an essential title for anyone who enjoys a good fighting game. Unfortunately, the attachment to the arcade version of the game took away some of the shine that this port could have had by bringing everything that was best about it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
