Zool Redimensioned is still an interesting revival, especially since it is one more of Sonic and Mario's competitors that didn't stand out among the two titans. His style and gameplay may be dated, but that doesn't stop the ninja from Dimension N from having his charm.

We live in an age in which streaming platforms already offer interactive productions with high quality. Thus, Mia and the Dragon is a let down from what it could have been. Even though its concept is less dynamic than most [game] genres, the experience offered here of 'controlling a movie' could have been richer and further developed.

Teslagrad Remastered shows how the title turned into a modern indie classic with a well-structured level design, great visuals and creative gameplay, all its aspects make the player really absorb the game experience. However, any remaster with significant value nowadays need to offer more to the fans than only small upgrades and a few additional stages. For a newcomer, I recommend it easily, but if you've already played the 2013 version, don't get too excited.

7.5 / 10.0 - Teslagrad 2
May 3, 2023

Even with some difficulty to maintain its predecessor's magnetism, Teslagrad 2 is a good game. There's nothing to complain about the soundtrack and visual style, which continue wonderful, but it was easy to notice the development was a little more trouble in regards to map exploration and gameplay.

Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 6 simply cares about improving the experience of being in an intense race, and it has achieved it with flying colors. However, basically having the same thing in terms of content can end up leaving that impression of more of the same, which fatally ends up affecting sports games.

6.5 / 10.0 - God of Rock
Apr 21, 2023

I can't say God of Rock did a mistake in its choice of elements but this is a clear case where less is more. The good ideas and features from fighting games were smart picks, but the mayhem of things on screen turn what could have been a beautiful melody into a messy thread of mismatched notes.

9.5 / 10.0 - Wild Dogs
Apr 20, 2023

Wild Dogs may have been created with the intention to be a retro run and gun, but the combination of the elements it brought made it something bigger. It's a recommendation I'd do in a heartbeat to people who want to get a taste of the genre or those who are already veterans. Your desire for action and nostalgia with a good challenge will be fulfilled.

Cannon Dancer is another cool port of a title that could have been left behind for only illegal emulators and awful translations but it got the deserved highlight for current consoles. Its responsive gameplay is sharp and the difficulty level leaves nothing to be desired for fans of a good challenge.

8 / 10.0 - LUNARK
Apr 12, 2023

In the end, Lunark works as a great platformer and homage to various classics. Its gameplay may be hard to control at first but it's not an issue that hinders how fun it can be.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened does a brilliant job at showcasing a curious case of the most famous detective in the world, one in which he needs to go beyond his intellect to deal with things his skepticism never let him believe in. The narrative sequence and ambientation don't disappoint when compared to its literary adventures. It's a must-play title for fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work.

9.5 / 10.0 - MLB The Show 23
Apr 5, 2023

MLB The Show 23 left laziness aside and, instead of just updating rosters and changing the cover, it made discreet improvements, but which greatly benefited the experience of those who wanted something more complete. The addition of a Negro League-focused mode was the move that established the franchise's title as one of the best ever made in the sport.

4.5 / 10.0 - The Crown of Wu
Mar 30, 2023

The Crown of Wu isn't the first or the last Journey to the West game adaptation, so there's no need to play it only for the historical value. Unfortunately, the lack of visual polishment and the sluggish movement broke what could have been a fun and fair reproduction of a literary classic.

9 / 10.0 - Pirates Outlaws
Mar 28, 2023

Pirates Outlaws is addictive in every way the word deserves. The long list of cards encourages us to try every possible combination with the different heroes, while our reputation leads us to unlock different resources and seas. Even people who don't like grueling replays will end up coming back to play a game at some point.

8 / 10.0 - Post Void
Mar 27, 2023

Post Void has the greatest virtues of being direct and having precise gameplay, with a generous contribution of roguelike touches. This combination manages to create something that always makes us look for the conclusion of the game or the best score. The bizarre aesthetic might offend some more sensitive eyes, but even its acute difficulty isn't a turn off.

Postcard 4: No Regerts is simply something you have to stay away from. It doesn't save itself for the humor, or the gameplay, or the visuals, or for any reason I try to think of to find a positive point.

8.5 / 10.0 - WWE 2K23
Mar 22, 2023

John Cena's catchphrase ["Hustle, Loyalty, Respect"] is the most adequate summary of WWE 2K23. Even with a structure similar to the previous game, it's easy to notice all the work to make the game more faithful to realism, putting it at an attractive level to people entering the ring for the first time and an addicting one to those defending their title.

Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix came with great variety in customization items and unique personalities for the cast but failed with its massive repetition. Not giving different [gameplay] traits to each actress, or even locking each of them to a weapon type, made gameplay too repetitive. This factor and the repetitive grinding reinforce the feeling of mobile game and fails to live up to the variety a console title should offer to its public.

Caverns of Mars: Recharged is exactly in the middle between bringing new things and leaning on material from the original game. Repetition is still a constant in titles from the Recharged series and it's no different here, but still, Caverns of Mars manages to entertain in an addictive way for a good few hours, just because it's simple and objective.

Ninja JaJaMaru: The Great Yokai Battle + Hell - Deluxe Edition is a great way to celebrate an Eastern classic at the same time that it presents it to the Western public.

7.5 / 10.0 - Akka Arrh
Feb 21, 2023

A remake of a never-released prototype might seem overly ambitious, but Akka Arrh certainly lives up to the mystery of its source. It may even be too simplistic for today's players, used to more elements and options, but here's a game that deserves to be known, especially by fans of Atari's legacy.
