The Telenet Shooting Collection Launcher presents itself as a curious initiative and, at the same time, representative of current trends in the preservation of classic games. By opting for a modular model that allows the individual purchase of titles, Edia offers freedom of choice to the player, even if this goes against the traditional concept of closed collections. It is a proposal that prioritizes conscious consumption, but may not please the most purist fans.

She's Leaving delivers a psychological horror experience centered on atmosphere, constant tension, and a sense of vulnerability. Blue Hat Studio succeeds in building a disturbing environment and immersive sound design, reinforcing the discomfort and mystery behind Haywood House. While the setting and narrative manage to hold attention, the gameplay execution still lacks refinement, especially regarding pacing and player guidance.

Its pixel art direction, light humor, and agile gameplay make each attempt fun, even when the repetition of rooms starts to appear.

Biped 2 is a solid and charming sequel that maintains the charisma of the first game and enhances its cooperative gameplay with new challenges and interactions. The experience becomes even more engaging when played in a group, as the need for coordination and communication between participants creates hilarious and challenging moments. However, the lack of progress sharing between game modes ultimately undermines the overall fluidity of the experience.

The Outer Worlds 2 is, essentially, a safe sequel. Obsidian retained everything that made the first game so beloved—bitter humor, narrative freedom, and vibrant setting—but without venturing too far into new ideas. The result is a solid RPG, with sharp writing and a still-captivating universe, but one that may feel too familiar for those expecting something bolder.

Despite this, it still delivers fun and a challenge, especially for those who enjoy overcoming obstacles perfectly.

Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game is a charming proposition at first glance, offering a fresh take on Middle-earth by focusing on the everyday lives of hobbits. Its welcoming aesthetic and respect for the spirit of Tolkien's work certainly appeal to fans of the universe. However, its lack of depth in mechanics, lack of innovation within the cozy genre itself, and excessively slow pace make the experience repetitive and dull.
