Wings of Bluestar is another case of ok game that could have been much better. All the issues above, as well as the outdated animations and backgrounds don't make it unplayable but there are certainly better options at the same price.

6 / 10.0 - Avenging Spirit
Aug 10, 2022

Avenging Spirit really is a cool title, but this time maybe it would have worked better as a part of a collection or if it had some significant addition to justify the release. The fact it's very easy and there isn't anything to justify a new playthrough [after beating it] means it'll just be left aside quickly.

6 / 10.0 - Panorama Cotton
Nov 10, 2021

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.

6 / 10.0 - Project CARS 3
Sep 2, 2020

Project CARS 3 was ambitious in trying to make such a great style transition, but it took a much bigger step than the leg. In addition to disappointing its long-standing fan base, it does not present itself as a good option for those who are looking for their first racing game.

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.

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.

6.5 / 10.0 - The Rumble Fish+
Jan 19, 2024

Having The Rumble Fish + available is good for those who always wanted to sate their curiosity but weren't willing to explore emulators. Even so, for our current era, it ends up feeling tasteless compared to the many options available. At least the low cost is a incentive for the enthusiasts and genre fans to acquire it without feeling guilty about it.

Headbangers: Rhythm Royale has an undeniable charisma, but it is held hostage by the content entirely focused on a single mode and the simplistic presentation. Who knows, perhaps after the release of some content packs and extra minigames it will become more attractive, as new game modes seem unlikely.

6.5 / 10.0 - Haunted House
Oct 25, 2023

Haunted House is a good way to reinvent a 1980s classic, with a cool diversity of elements. However, it is in a middle ground of not being a roguelike that captures the attention of fans of the genre, but also does not relieve those who are not familiar with the style. In other words, if you enter this mansion, make sure you won't give up easily.

6.5 / 10.0 - Quantum: Recharged
Aug 17, 2023

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.

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.

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.

Water Margin: The Tale of Clouds and Wind is not the first choice for those who want to play a classic of the genre, but the curious and nostalgic will get a good piece of history when they experience this picturesque beat 'em up. Just the history of its production from three decades ago to the current release is already a good reason to understand what game lovers can do when they want.

6.5 / 10.0 - PGA Tour 2K23
Oct 26, 2022

PGA Tour 2K23 offers a good gameplay experience but suffers from a negative factor generated by its sports games siblings, [which are] more attractive and originally more enticing. Its content can be considered shallow, despite the interesting field creation mode. It's a title recommended only for fans of the sport.

6.5 / 10.0 - Frogun
Aug 2, 2022

Frogun is a nice reminder of how the PS1 and N64 classics worked, but it also means bringing out just how annoying the flaws of that era were. The adventure itself manages to entertain, but don't expect anything too captivating other than the protagonist's funny faces.

6.5 / 10.0 - Godstrike
Oct 13, 2021

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.

6.5 / 10.0 - Tetragon
Aug 20, 2021

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.

6.5 / 10.0 - Crash Drive 3
Jul 20, 2021

Crash Drive 3 may even be simple and unpolished, but it manages to provide fun and, most importantly, maintain good network play across multiple platforms and without compromising the experience.

6.5 / 10.0 - Skate City
May 12, 2021

Skate City could dare more when it reached the consoles. Its attractive visual composition and sound track achieve a certain level of immersion, which unfortunately is broken by some slips. Maybe with some additional content, the feeling of being playing a mobile title will be changed and it will be seen as the fun indie that it has the potential to be.

Touhou Hyouibana ~ Antinomy of Common Flowers is a title that can be nice, but it does not prove to be very friendly for those who do not follow the saga of the characters. As a fighting game, its mechanics and dynamism can both cause strangeness and can also be quite inviting for those who do not want such an intense experience with this genre.
