Mortal Kombat 1 doesn't offer a big evolution from its predecessor and maybe it doesn't even have that intention. What matters is that the core is maintained: sharp gameplay and visuals worthy of the current console gen. The Story and Invasion [modes] are great ideas that may have a few issues but there's no hiding the curiosity to know the future roads this journey will take.

Thunder Ray is a well-constructed game, which pays due homage to Punch-Out, but with its own style. The fact that it was produced by a small team makes it even more admirable, but its duration is so short. It's inevitable and frustrating to want to play a few more matches, but not have more content to explore.

The shock between qualities and issues in Smurfs Kart verges on the absurd: on one side, we have an excellent roll call of characters, great visuals and a charming soundtrack; on the other, we have many performance issues, the absence of an online mode and high repetitiveness to unlock everything. In the end, what could have been fun becomes a patience test, which is a shame because our blue friends do not deserve this.

Much more than a compilation of prototypes, the entire historical archive contained in the timelines of The Making of Karateka is very interesting and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes to know more about the creation of games made in the past. But this title never hides that its value is 100% documentary, which makes it a specific product for a very particular niche of the public.

Despite a few blunders, Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case does an excellent job in offering an interactive story worthy of the books, giving us the chance to once again assume the ever-observant mind of Hercule Poirot.

Atari's idea of reformulating its works always oscillates between novelty and repetition. Unfortunately, Quantum: Recharged was more on repeat, serving only those who want to enjoy the nostalgia. The game itself is not bad, but it certainly falls short of its other renovated brothers.

If you're looking for something creative specifically to play with a group of friends, locally or over a network, then PixelJunk Scrappers Deluxe is a great choice. It's a shame that the rhythm drops so much if we try to enjoy it alone.

Mr. Run and Jump manages to blend the vibe of old platformers with modern elements without really appealing to nostalgia. Even with its high difficulty right from the start, it's a great title for those who just want to enjoy a good old-fashioned challenge.

Ray’z Arcade Chronology is a series that fit the HD treatment well. It was innovative in its time and still is an excellent choice for those who love Taito's classic shoot ‘em ups. Keeping the collection from being impeccable, this edition doesn't highlight the console versions of the trilogy and all the options they offered, and it could have invested in its historical value, sharing a little more of the Ray franchise's trajectory.

Gimmick! Special Edition brings an interesting charm with the global ranking to a title known by few. Still, it's worth giving it a chance, mainly because of its gameplay, which remains different even today.

PowerWash Simulator does manage to be interesting and even intriguing, with the proposal to clean different places, and it's something to be played with no urgency to finish. The visuals show a surprising amount of care when portraying places full of details, but the lack of musical support to break the irritation of the washing machine's sound and the repetitiveness of objectives abruptly affect the experience provided.

Crash Team Rumble offers a lighthearted, fun idea but it's hindered by little initial content and it made achieving the available prizes a repetitive chore. Even so, it's an excellent alternative for those who always wanted to try out an arena game but never found a friendly choice.

AEW: Fight Forever came with good intentions, but it needed to have more practice before stepping into the ring. Even though it brings a totally different proposition compared to any recent WWE, its various problems and weak content make it a game that will not even pass the door of the Hall of Fame.

Getting angry at the difficulty of Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine is something that comes with the package, and there are certainly those who love it and those who hate it. The fact is that they managed to put the same spirit of adventure games into a Tetris-like game, making it very attractive for those who like the troublesome meat cube universe. That's not an easy task, but one that this game managed to accomplish very well.

Bringing back We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie is a great decision, as well as a very safe one. If the original version was already excellent, the visual and practical improvements are welcome, but there was certainly room to take more effective advantage of the content expansion. In addition, both this port and its predecessor show that it is high time for the royal family of Todo o Cosmos to return in an new title, taking advantage of the full potential of the current generation of consoles.

Street Fighter 6 came to be a definite turning point not just for the series, but for fighting games in general. Both the experience for those who want to enjoy it alone and for those who want to spend hours in network disputes leaves absolutely nothing to be desired, and that makes SF return to the level of excellence in the genre that it should never have failed to present.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun isn't here to tell a story, but to offer chaotic fun, something it does very well. The game's straightforward nature isn't an issue and makes it an ideal title for players missing the FPS classics, or rather, the Boomer Shooters.

Protodroid DeLTA don't try to hide that it's based entirely on Mega Man, but that doesn't mean it's lazy. The good sequences of challenges make it ideal for those who missed the genre.

Raiden III x MIKADO MANIAX invested in an interesting point, revitalizing the soundtrack. They certainly gave the title a fresh air, but some visual upgrades, especially in the screen positioning and filters would also have come in handy. Even so it doesn't stop being a relevant classic for fans of the genre.

SkateBIRD could have improved its physics and fixed problems that have been present since its first release. Still, the content additions that have been made and its natural charisma make it worth a few hours of gameplay.
