Black Widow: Recharged follows the primer of the trio revitalized by Atari, both in terms of quality and defects. Game repetitiveness is unavoidable even playing in pairs, and this is enhanced with the duplicated challenges. However, it is also necessary to point out that it has the best gameplay of the three, thanks to the use of analogue sticks, which makes it stand out from the rest.

Asteroids: Recharged is a great way to reintroduce a classic to a younger audience. Updating the visuals and sound, along with preserving its base structure, is a very successful recipe for how to make that return. It's a shame that the limited content reduces the lifespan of such a fun game.

Marsupilami: Hoobadventure is fun, upbeat, captivating and an excellent title for people looking for a simple experience that doesn't demand hardcore reflexes. However, it wouldn't have been too much trouble to have cutscenes and characters with more personality when it comes to such a rich universe. Performance issues and repetitiveness are some of its issues, but they're minor and rare, not impacting too much the quality of the adventure.

Faraday Protocol has the key elements to be an excellent challenge but it stumbles on its repetitiveness and short duration. Besides that, the story, which had everything to be promising, misses the opportunity. Even so, this is a game that fans of enigmas and platforming can enjoy with no qualms.

The return of Gynoug is a great choice, treasuring an excellent title from the golden age of games. However, all the mystique from that age needs to be explored with the due effort that fans wish and deserve. Even so, it's always good to revisit such a lost gem.

Panorama Cotton is a value product for being a Cotton game that decided to use a slightly different genre. Though the gameplay ended up being even more pleasant and fun with the current systems' controllers, its vibrant 16-bit visuals deserve a complete reimagining rather than a simple port.

The Smurfs - Misson Vileaf is a big surprise with its well structured challenge. The difficulty may be a little high for the target audience, but the more nostalgic players and platformer fans will have an excellent title to enjoy hours of Smurf fun.

Demon Turf managed to bring together a number of interesting elements to be a good platform game, with well-structured stages, interesting abilities, a good replay factor and a charismatic character. However, problems in crucial aspects like the camera and character control, which are the main characteristics of the genre, greatly compromise the experience that the game could offer.

There is a specific kind of public who will love BATS: Bloodsucking Anti-Terrorist Squad thanks to its challenge considering how popular speedrunning has been, and the same can be said for retro games enthusiasts. However, generally speaking, its repetitiveness along with its small content make it not as exciting as the great action title it could have been.

Far Cry 6 isn't particularly daring when it comes to gameplay and creativity for the mission dynamics, something that can make it feel a little repetitive. However, the amigos and Supremos bring with them a new feeling for the battle strategies. Besides that, the characters' actings, especially Anton Castillo's, add a believable tone to a story that could just have been a very trivial matter.

Gleylancer is one of those few classics that even those who never played should have heard of. Though it is only a port among many that exist nowadays, one advantage of it is that it follows the Ratalaika standard — that is, a fun game at low cost compared to other similar titles and at the same time offers an easy platinum for trophy hunters, beyond being one of the gems from the golden age of the Mega Drive system.

Godstrike combines bullet hell and boss rush in an unusual way, without adding any other elements to make everything more complex. Its lack of structural variety, combined with very discreet sound effects and almost no music, actually overshadows the creativity of the creatures to be defeated and the full range of abilities that can be combined. It is straight to the point, but the level of challenge proposed is quite specific, pleasing only a portion of players that borders on masochism.

Even though it's a release of a single title, G-Darius HD can be more attractive than the rest of Taito's space-marine franchise compilations. This game received a treatment that would have been welcome in the other classic entries in the saga and it's really good to see this classic once again in the spotlight.

Sonic Colors: Ultimate is a nice remaster to celebrate 30 years of Sega's mascot. The choice to bring this title to new consoles was right, but its remaster has questionable flaws that show that the project deserved better treatment. While a new title does not arrive, Ultimate serves to soothe the hearts that wanted the return of the fastest blue hedgehog in games.

Hot Wheels Unleashed perfectly combines a challenging and well-structured racing game with the colorful and eye-catching visuals of the already consolidated toy universe. Collecting and customizing the legendary miniatures, as well as creating our own circuits without worrying about buying infinite expansions or losing parts, is a delight for anyone who has always wanted to put their creativity to work. The flaws exist, but they don't stop Unleashed from being an excellent title.

WRC 10 upholds the excellence of the franchise for the virtual racing world. There aren't drastic changes to its visual or audio aspects, but this actually means the quality standard continues to be high. Besides that, the classic tracks and historic challenges bring forth positive elements, though small ones, and add many hours of challenge and fun to the game's lifespan.

Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown may not bring many content additions, but its payback alone is significant. The title presented itself in an adequate way for the current generation and manages to combine a good performance with a great visual and sound quality. Its characteristic gameplay is very inviting and nostalgic, perfect for those who wanted to experience nostalgia.

The concept of Tetragon is very creative and well-applied. Though it may seem repetitive in theory, each stage has a unique creative resolution that is a treat for anyone who enjoys the genre. Unfortunately, its performance lapses interrupt the fun several times.

Spelunker HD Deluxe rescues a title that was a pioneer for the genre and brings very cool game modes to the current context. However, its strange gameplay, its visual enhancement that omits traps and its somewhat aggressive learning curve can end up scaring off players who just want to spend a few hours having fun without compromise.

Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX+ may be just an HD port, and still lack a weighty novelty that justifies its release, but it still proves to be a lot of fun and a nice invitation for those who want to know the franchise. The challenge is high without being unfair and being able to play with four other players makes it even more enjoyable.The display layout still plays a bit against those who are very attached to the dimensions of the screen as a whole, but still, if you like a good old Shoot 'em up , this game needs to be in your library.
