Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened does a brilliant job at showcasing a curious case of the most famous detective in the world, one in which he needs to go beyond his intellect to deal with things his skepticism never let him believe in. The narrative sequence and ambientation don't disappoint when compared to its literary adventures. It's a must-play title for fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work.

MLB The Show 23 left laziness aside and, instead of just updating rosters and changing the cover, it made discreet improvements, but which greatly benefited the experience of those who wanted something more complete. The addition of a Negro League-focused mode was the move that established the franchise's title as one of the best ever made in the sport.

The Crown of Wu isn't the first or the last Journey to the West game adaptation, so there's no need to play it only for the historical value. Unfortunately, the lack of visual polishment and the sluggish movement broke what could have been a fun and fair reproduction of a literary classic.

Pirates Outlaws is addictive in every way the word deserves. The long list of cards encourages us to try every possible combination with the different heroes, while our reputation leads us to unlock different resources and seas. Even people who don't like grueling replays will end up coming back to play a game at some point.

Post Void has the greatest virtues of being direct and having precise gameplay, with a generous contribution of roguelike touches. This combination manages to create something that always makes us look for the conclusion of the game or the best score. The bizarre aesthetic might offend some more sensitive eyes, but even its acute difficulty isn't a turn off.

Postcard 4: No Regerts is simply something you have to stay away from. It doesn't save itself for the humor, or the gameplay, or the visuals, or for any reason I try to think of to find a positive point.

John Cena's catchphrase ["Hustle, Loyalty, Respect"] is the most adequate summary of WWE 2K23. Even with a structure similar to the previous game, it's easy to notice all the work to make the game more faithful to realism, putting it at an attractive level to people entering the ring for the first time and an addicting one to those defending their title.

Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix came with great variety in customization items and unique personalities for the cast but failed with its massive repetition. Not giving different [gameplay] traits to each actress, or even locking each of them to a weapon type, made gameplay too repetitive. This factor and the repetitive grinding reinforce the feeling of mobile game and fails to live up to the variety a console title should offer to its public.

Caverns of Mars: Recharged is exactly in the middle between bringing new things and leaning on material from the original game. Repetition is still a constant in titles from the Recharged series and it's no different here, but still, Caverns of Mars manages to entertain in an addictive way for a good few hours, just because it's simple and objective.

Ninja JaJaMaru: The Great Yokai Battle + Hell - Deluxe Edition is a great way to celebrate an Eastern classic at the same time that it presents it to the Western public.

A remake of a never-released prototype might seem overly ambitious, but Akka Arrh certainly lives up to the mystery of its source. It may even be too simplistic for today's players, used to more elements and options, but here's a game that deserves to be known, especially by fans of Atari's legacy.

Deliver Us Mars tries to improve on everything its predecessor did that was interesting, but perhaps it tried to do too much at the same time. The narrative is very good and dense, but the various performance problems are perhaps just not a nuisance for those who really enjoyed Deliver Us The Moon.

Wanted: Dead had a great team and the idea of mixing two action types so distinct was propitious, but unfortunately the game came with many gameplay issues. Besides that, it's inconceivable that the final visual quality is so far from the one shown on the trailers.

Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection lives up to the legacy of the franchise about children who have to defeat giant monsters and save kingdoms and princesses. The ports and each version's peculiarities are handled well and the gallery is full of content. Now we have a collection worthy of being one of the best for current generations.

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.

NeverAwake managed to combine the frantic action of a shooting game with a serious and very touching story about trauma and loss. This, added to its vast content, sharp controls and unique artistic style, makes it a unique piece of its kind.

Sail Forth manages to be interesting for fans of slow adventures and who like to wander between one objective and another. Its colorful visual style and calm soundtrack make everything more relaxing, but that doesn't exempt it from its minor flaws either. Moreover, it is indicated for pirates who are retiring and no longer want to brave rough seas.

Compared to other fighting collections, Breakers Collection has far fewer titles, but the care taken in the port, as well as the various additions that only maximize the original potential, make these two indispensable for those who enjoy the classics of the genre. If you're a fan of 2D punching and spell trading, this duo needs to be in your library.

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.
