Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is a competent DLC that adds subtle improvements to one of the most fantastic adventures of recent times in video games. Despite not adding much in terms of history, the new region still yields good hours of gameplay for those who like to venture into the post-apocalyptic world of Guerilla Games.

Final Fantasy XVI dares to bring a new approach to a franchise with more than three decades of existence, reinventing part of its mythology to offer a unique and revolutionary experience, meeting the needs of a new generation of consoles and players. All in all, FFXVI is exactly what the franchise needed to stay relevant in this day and age in terms of storytelling, gameplay, and technical merits. While nostalgic fans might disagree, this game is a worthy successor to the crystals legacy that began in 1987.

D&D Lords of Waterdeep is highly recommended for modern board game enthusiasts who don't have access to the physical format, either due to financial constraints or lack of adventure partners. With a remarkable value for money, especially in the PC edition, this version offers a high degree of authenticity compared to its physical counterpart. This occurs due to the faithful reproduction of all the dynamics and rules present in the original game, in addition to the visual fidelity fully reproduced and even improved in the digital environment.

Ugly is a title that goes beyond the expectations created by its name, offering a visually stunning and narratively intriguing experience. Despite considerable challenges, its journey through thought-provoking puzzles and a subtly constructed narrative make it a worthy recommendation for genre enthusiasts and those looking for something new and different to play.

Backpack Hero immerses players in a nostalgic experience, with its pixelated aesthetic and soundtrack that evokes the days of classic consoles. The simple gameplay hides an intriguing complexity in the inventory organization mechanics, making each choice crucial to success in the dungeons. However, some details, such as the frequent need to consult the glossary and the lack of a more robust progress tracking system, can make the experience a little stiff, but without compromising our enjoyment of the game.

Bloodroots is beautiful, simple and goes straight to the point, with no frills when showing your proposal. Playing the first level, we already know where we are and what we have to do. With fluid gameplay and a very charismatic and characteristic cartoon art, we are also awarded a soundtrack that is not quite memorable, but is very good and goes well with the western spaghetti theme that it presents. His challenge level strongly encourages the replay factor, inviting us to retry the previous levels to get the highest scores, unlock the hats and find the hidden wolves. It manages to be a very fun game and with a great level of recommendation.

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.

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.

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.

Astro Aqua Kitty is an apparently unpretentious title that won me over for its quality and addictive gameplay. At one point, I didn't even care about the story anymore, focusing my attention on exploring every corner of the different stages of the game just to make my submarine more and more perfect. A different and engaging shoot ‘em up.

Enhancing many aspects of its predecessor, Subnautica: Below Zero is a formidable survival experience with the well-known layers of sensation that made Unknown Worlds Entertainment's previous title relevant in this challenging genre. A mandatory choice for those who enjoy adventure, mystery, tension and challenge.

What started out as an unpretentious weekend gamble in yet another free game turned out to be a great recommendation for anyone looking for challenge, competitiveness and excellent value for money for a genre that often ends up being more of the same. If you don't believe me, I dare you to play Splitgate right now.

Even with so many details that leave us with that feeling of "they could have done this/that" to give it a little extra breath, id Software opted for the right to keep the original experience as a priority in this relaunch. It's always nice to see old faces back in the crowd, even if they're all battered and bleeding. Rejoice, nineties! Quake is back and remains authentic.

Ember Lab showed enormous competence with Kena: Bridge of Spirits, the first game in its history. A beautiful plot that transports us to a whole new world and a game with challenges and activities that will please everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing what else they can bring in the future, whether in the form of a sequel or even a new narrative.

Evertried is further proof that Brazil has the potential for good games, especially in the indie scenario. Knowing that a game as good as this one was made here gives a little warmth to the heart. Also, it's a great addition to the roguelike genre.

Despite the various tantrums I had during the journey, Heavenly Bodies proved to be a different and fun experience. Here we have an interesting combination of activities in the form of puzzles that play with physics in an ingenious and creative way, testing the player's patience and astuteness when solving problems that seem simple but become complicated in space.
