Carlos França Junior's Reviews

Husband, father and fighting games addicted. Always looking for some lost gems and nice indies as well.
8.5 / 10.0 - Pocket Bravery
Apr 10, 2025

Pocket Bravery is definitely a Brazilian game worth checking out for several reasons: it is a work made on Brazilian soil that is no match for any other name in the genre, whether in terms of structure, visuals or sound; it can be a great choice for those who want a cool fighting game at a more affordable price; and it carries the passion that many of us have for this 90s genre and also adds several references and aspects of our culture. A fighter like this certainly cannot be underestimated by anyone.

7 / 10.0 - Breakout Beyond
Apr 5, 2025

Breakout Beyond carries a legacy that is hard to ignore. Even though it changes the meaning of a nearly 50-year-old formula, it is still an addictive game that will always make players want to try again in that boring level. The new perspective and intense visual details may make it a bit difficult to assimilate this model, but those who enjoy an old-school challenge will not be disappointed.

Rendering Ranger: R² [Rewind] is part of a constellation of stars never before seen by the general public that finally gets its due spotlight. Even with a release three decades ago, the combination of mechanics and precise gameplay make it very attractive for those who would like to have a taste of the 90's in its natural state.

7.5 / 10.0 - Koira
Apr 2, 2025

Koira is very clear about its goal of delivering a touching story without worrying about complexity or challenging puzzles. It no doubt delivers that beautifully, but there are still some annoying issues, like the chapter selection, that could be fixed to make it more polished.

9 / 10.0 - MLB The Show 25
Mar 27, 2025

The standard established by the franchise once again proves strong and healthy in MLB The Show 25. The changes to the game modes were essential to revitalize precisely what was needed, despite Franchise and March to October starting to fall a little behind. As for gameplay, once again we have a title that embraces both newcomers and veterans, offering accessible levels of challenge that reward those who dedicate themselves.

KinnikuNeko: SUPER MUSCLE CAT managed to have a glow up, turning itself into an interesting platformer for those looking for something far from seriousness, with jokes and an artstyle that manages to hook the player, besides a mild dose of challenge.

8.5 / 10.0 - WWE 2K25
Mar 20, 2025

WWE 2K25 will stay on the top wrestling games no doubt, but that doesn't mean there's no room for improvements, even if small. Having totally customizable mixed matches along with excellent modes and an ever bigger roster makes any fan happy. However, the Island that was so promising didn't deliver anything big, and MyFaction gets ever more tiring and unappealing.

8 / 10.0 - Ninja Five-O
Mar 11, 2025

Ninja Five-O does an unexpected and much worthy rescue of an excellent title from the Game Boy Advance early days that ended up obscured by other big names that came out at the same time. Fans of Joe Musashi and Ryu Hayabusa who give a chance to Joe Osugi will definitely not disappoint.

Care Bears: To The Rescue is a great platformer with enough charisma to please kids and adults. The veterans on the controller may feel the challenge is too mild, but it still delivers a good dose of adventure and magic for those who want to show the genre to younger players or even enjoy a sincere dose of nostalgia.

8 / 10.0 - Under Defeat
Mar 5, 2025

Under Defeat brings together all versions of the game and even includes a new one, even if with few differences in fact, creating an aura of a full-bodied version of a title that can be considered a modern classic of the genre. If you are a fan and enthusiast of shoot 'em ups, you definitely need to add this one to your library.

After the trauma of its police counterpart, I was skeptical about what Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator could offer. To my surprise, even with the repetitive mission structure, it was quite fun to learn the different types of first aid that paramedics can provide in the most unusual situations. A little more polish in the visuals and bug fixes would make this emergency response team ready for any situation.

Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip is an interesting, funny and charismatic adventure, but it lacks in key points of exploration, and is also very short. It’s a great option for those who want something more to laugh and relax with instead of doing more intense searches.

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.

8.5 / 10.0 - Botany Manor
Feb 5, 2025

Botany Manor manages to combine well-constructed puzzles, with the sole purpose of teaching a little more about plants, with a delicate background story about a woman who fought against various prejudices in an ancient era, resulting in a great title.

8 / 10.0 - Robobeat
Feb 3, 2025

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.
