Front Mission 2 Remake offers the turn-based strategy fans a unique opportunity to revisit or even have the first contact with a 90's cult classic full of deep mechanics and a compelling plot. Though it keeps the original game's essence, the remake presents significant upgrades when it comes to visuals, sound and performance, offering a more immersive and accessible experience to contemporary players. However, some creative and design choices, such as the excessive faithfulness to the original material and the lack of updates to the user interface, may affect the game experience and frustrate players looking for convenience and practicality, especially newcomers already used to newer experiences in the strategy genre. Even so, it's good to have this important title back in our lives.

In Phantom Abyss, the search for relics in mysterious ruins offers a captivating experience, but not without challenges. The intriguing gameplay and asynchronous multiplayer add interesting layers to the narrative, even if it is quite simple and not very standout, while progression through the Abyss and Adventure modes provides a welcome variety that can please different player profiles. However, some limitations, such as layout reproduction, steep difficulty curve, and unobtrusive soundtrack, may impact player complexity. Quirky iconography, while it contributes to a unique atmosphere, can require an additional learning curve. A contained but still interesting adventure.
