Alexandre Galvão's Reviews
DARQ: Complete Edition is one of those titles that comes in the right measure in almost every way: a very good level of challenge, satisfactory duration, simple gameplay and an inviting art to attract anyone's attention. There is only a slight caveat about the difficulty for those who prefer a more elaborate mental challenge, as the game does not have any tasks that I can call formidable, or a difficulty setting that encourages playing it again.

Space Otter Charlie is a good choice for those who enjoy light, different and uncompromising adventures. Its biggest highlight is the gameplay based on movement in environments with zero gravity and with a friendly difficulty curve for all player profiles. Exploration could be another highlight of the title, but it is used in a very superficial way, which leaves the experience very weak in this regard.

Fallen Legion Revenants has some merits, such as the soundtrack with its exciting moments and graphics with personality. The battle system, even though it has matured more in relation to its predecessor, is still not ideal due to some details that can compromise the experience. The combat is good, but the overloads and repetitiveness in the rhythm of the game made the experience boring and irritating.

Turrican Flashback is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it presents an opportunity for younger generations to have the chance to enjoy excellent games from a series that has a prominent place in a memorable time. On the other hand, it is a little disappointing for not having everything that we, who lived through that period, know that exists in the Turrican franchise, in a package that is not bad, but that we know is incomplete and could be much better.

Habroxia 2 does an excellent job of transporting us back to a time when shoot 'em ups were strong on arcades and consoles in the 1990s. The game features sounds, visuals and other details that bring us back to classics like Galaga, Gradius, R-Type and many others that have become symbols of an era. Whether casual or hardcore, here we have an excellent option for those who want the almost perfect balance of challenge, fun and quality. Embark fearlessly on this space adventure and have fun, Habroxia 2 is a delicacy.

Override 2: Super Mech League gets it right on bringing a generous amount of robots with different styles, colors and sizes to choose from. Also positive is the option for game sessions with friends at home - or even online if you agree to buy the game together. However, on consoles, performance is a point that gets in the way of the experience. It is better to choose a PC with a good configuration or even one of the new generation consoles. If your vibe is to play solo, get ready for a lot of repetition and slow progress towards accumulating pennies and unlocking irrelevant little things.

Just as light and shadow have their positive and negative interpretations, Iris.Fall delivers a captivating and satisfying story with well-lit and highlighted positives, and some negatives that are a shadow in this experience. In general, the game is quite pleasant for casual players who like a good mental challenge

Inspired by the previous games, Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition is a must-have title for any JRPG fan, especially for those who enjoy the franchise. It manages to be nostalgic in the details, and it is modern where it really needs to be, especially in the artistic department. The gameplay maintains much of the originality of the franchise and, at the same time, has some changes that refreshes the overall experience.

Exit the Gungeon has maintained the same degree of challenge since it was launched, in which skill and good luck are still the main ingredients for the player to triumph. Small additions introduced by the Hello to Arms update, such as new weapons, new mechanics and a new boss, are welcome, adding a little new dynamics to the game and allowing players to have a little more freedom to choose how to fight the enemies.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales stands out for further highlighting one of the best PS4 games in an excellent expansion of the universe created by Insomniac in 2018. What was already good has been maintained and certain features have been improved. With impeccable presentation and an excellent adventure, its only problem is still being at the mercy of its predecessor when it comes to innovation.

Behind a cover that appears to be a cartoonish and childlike title, we have a great turn-based strategy game, ideal for those looking for a more casual experience. Without many peculiarities that mark other titles in this genre, such as RPG elements, equipment efficiency, armor durability, among other things, what we have here is a game with a fairly honest challenge level and simple gameplay, to please even the most enthusiastic Cybertron fans.

Clearly inspired by titles like Wipeout and F-Zero, Pacer slips a little in its presentation and proposal, but it respects the history of these classics. An uncompromised title, whose main highlight is its beautiful visuals and a fast and intense action, especially in the higher categories. A title worthy of the legacy it wants to represent and that will please fans of the genre.

Ben 10: Power Trip is not the most beautiful and well-made of the hero's games, but we have to recognize the merits of the title for bringing much of the essence of current open world games, even if in a more simplified way, to a title clearly aimed at children in a very interesting and efficient way. It is a game that, without a doubt, I would love to play in my 10 years if it had been released some 10 years ago.

Despite not innovating in much, the gameplay and the freedom provided to build the protagonist's skills are two extremely relevant points to consider Foregone a great addition to the platform action genre. Players who like to collect better and better equipment and seek a moderate level of challenge will be very well served here.

Speed and adrenaline are the fuel that makes Star Wars: Squadrons a must-have game not only for Star Wars fans, but for those who are also looking for a solid PvP combat experience in which skill will be the real differentiator to take your fighter squadron to victory.

Mafia: Definitive Edition is easily one of the best remakes ever released and remains the best in the trilogy. A great choice for those who prefer a well constructed and tied narrative, added to a gameplay that, although not perfect, does not take away the renewed shine of this classic.

Amid so many independent titles that feature deep narratives or gameplay with peculiarities that set them apart, Zombie Driver: Immortal Edition does not innovate in either of these aspects, focusing even on what a game needs to offer: fun.

Doraemon: Story of Seasons is great for veterans of the “farm” genre, especially those that come from other titles in the Harvest Moon / Story of Seasons series. Players who like to challenge themselves to find better and more efficient ways to manage their farm will have a lot of fun here, especially with the hel of Doraemon's peculiar gear, and the art direction and soundtrack make this task very enjoyable.

With simple and intuitive controls, Party Hard 2 proves to be a competent, honest sequence and, despite the gratuitous violence, a fun game for those who enjoy experiences that require a touch of strategy and creativity from the player.

Disappointed. That feeling sums up well what I felt with a game that could finally present an experience better adapted to the current systems. Whoever had the opportunity to play the original on the GameCube and looked forward to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition to have an improved experience, sorry but, being very sincere, you will not have a good time. The game remains a charismatic and cute adventura, but several things get in the way, resulting in a dungeon crawler that is difficult to play with friends.
