MACROSS -Shooting Insight- has good ideas and execution flaws, but the fact that it carries the name of a classic franchise ended up becoming a burden, even with the Gallery full of cool collectibles, the main one, which was to emphasize combat with the different forms of the mecha, ended up lacking and the constant change of perspectives is an example of something good that was used in a bad way.

ROBOBEAT manages to use its greatest strength, which is the combination of shooter and rhythm, to overcome the occasional flaws it presents in level design. It would be nice to have a customized playlist, since this is already possible on PC, but this is not a demerit for the title, which entertains with its dynamism and fast action.

Basureroes: Invasion is an excellent 2D action platformer. It doesn't deny for a moment that it was inspired by the classics of the genre, but it doesn't shy away from it and manages to show a unique personality, full of creativity, good humor and with enough challenge to please beginners and veterans alike. If you like this type of game, you've just found an essential title for your library.

It's always nice to see characters from a franchise in a different idea from the mainline and Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos definitely offers this. However, maybe the Hyperdimension Neptunia universe had more to offer for this title's content, at least to make it a little longer or more varied for its replay value.

It's a shame that Boti: Byteland Overclocked's problems compromise the player's enjoyment. It has a great idea and a very well-crafted environment for the theme it proposes. However, it is more than necessary that corrections be made so that the little messenger robot gains the prominence it deserves.

Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age lived up to its promises, leaving nothing to be desired compared to the big names in the genre. If you like fighting games and want to try something a little more varied, it's worth giving it a chance, especially the double battles.

Little Big Adventure: Twinsen’s Quest was a great PC golden age era title to bring back to the current age. However, even with the care that went into the visuals, soundtrack and story, the gameplay simplification took a lot of the personality from the original game. Along with a lazy movement and other technical issues, what could have been a grand adventure ended up becoming a small reminder.

People who expected Ninja 1987 to be along the lines of Ninja Gaiden will end up frustrated by its softer challenge. However, if your wish is for a retro adventure with great level design alongside its retro visuals, this is an excellent choice. It's a neat title, accessible for any console or PC to enjoy with no worries.

Dog Man: Mission Impawsible may be a more childish title, but it is still an interesting adventure for those who want a platform game that is not too complex and even want a gateway to get to know Dog Man and his stories. The charisma of Dav Pilkey's universe was very well translated and manages to be as funny as the books.

Snow Bros. Wonderland is a great revitalization of an old franchise. Although the calm difficulty may leave something to be desired for those who wanted something more intense, the title offers a good variety of worlds, easy-to-learn gameplay, and a great replayability factor. If you're looking for a platform game to play without any commitment, especially with your children, Tom Jr. and Nick Jr. may be the right choice.

[...]I give kudos to Love Too Easily for managing to bring the dorama universe, even if in a simple form, to games, and not restricting it[s gameplay] to choosing paths but also using minigames to illustrate the comic and tragic life of the protagonist that just wanted some love.

Aero the Acro-Bat: Rascal Rival Revenge is the bland and melancholic end to the franchise ports. This title in particular would have been better if accompanying the original game port, as it, as an originally handheld title, doesn't offer enough features to justify buying it alone, unlike the others.

Rage of the Dragons NEO really is an excellent fighting game from its time, and all the work to bring it back is welcome, be it for curious individuals or genre enthusiasts. Unfortunately, the absence of crossplay is a notable absence, which makes it more fun for those who will play it alone or locally.

Tetris Forever lovingly presents some examples of how Tetris has evolved and kept up with the early days of video games without losing relevance, even 40 years later. If you, like me, are a fan of historical records of classic games, make sure you have this collection in your collection.

Totally Spies! - Cyber Mission manages to deliver a good adaptation of the spies cartoon in its essence, but it errs in not adding at least a small dose of action to the gameplay. Because of that, we have a good mix of stealth and puzzle, but it ends up feeling a little tiresome and dragged out.

Irem Collection Volume 2 is interesting for bringing titles that would serve as inspiration for Metal Slug and that are excellent jewels by themselves, all of them with great emulation. It's a shame that the production context isn't presented to the player, leaving the curious ones to their devices in searching for info on the internet.

Blazing Strike's intentions were great but various execution issues, along with the meager options and lack of any elements that could give it more replay value, make the title unappealing amidst others that offer much more at a lower cost. If it at least improved the combat and had a trophy system that made the player explore its visually varied cast, it would be a big step to accompany the artistic style that right now is the only highlight.

Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel is yet another of the thousands of 90's games that were great but ended up overshadowed by Mario and Sonic. The opportunity to revisit this title is very welcome, as it manages to be better and more charismatic than the "actual" franchise. It's just a shame that once again the poor presentation and being sold separately from the others hinder the experience of enjoying the whole series.

Unfortunately, Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports is a game with a great idea but weak execution that doesn't do Bugs Bunny and company justice. At least the good use of references shows that the formula of putting these iconic characters in sports competitions can work — it just needs more competent gameplay to keep the fun from getting lost along the way.

NBA 2K25 does a good job refining the gameplay and improving the feeling of realism in the matches, including the visual aspect. MyLeague amazes with its excellent, varied simulation options that go from the draft to a manager's office life. However, the microtransactions aggressiveness takes away all the potential and fun MyTeam and MyCareer could have. This and the absence of Showcase and MyNBA ERAS show signs that the franchise will soon have to reinvent itself not to become more of the same in a streak.
