Nerf Legends colossally fails as a product, game, or anything else it tried to be. It can't even be enjoyable or dumb enough to at least be funny. It wouldn't even be worth it if it was free to play. And if it was, maybe it had a chance because of the multiplayer. It's even a bad advertising for a cool toy that exists in the real world.

Krut: The Mythic Wings presents a strong example of lazy level design, poor gameplay and questionable quality. It is difficult to point out positive things amid so much that shows that this is a low quality product.

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.

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.

Everdream Valley has its charm and a few merits, especially in aspects that are not expected for a game of this genre. The exploration of the map and the freedom of action stand out, contrasting with what was expected to be the main focus of the game: managing the farm. If you are looking for a rural experience along the lines of other titles with this theme, unfortunately, this game is not a good option.

A heresy for me to belittle the historical value of these two excellent games. I think that everyone who has not been able to play them at some point in life has here one of the best opportunities today to make them. However, Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood, as a product, is a terrible job by Konami. I dare say that it is a lazy way for the company to earn more money on such a valuable and important franchise. We have no additional content to add value to the package. The game's exclusivity to PS4 is also questionable. Personally, I don't see any reasons to prevent the release of ‘Requiem’ for other platforms such as PC or even the Switch, which would be a great addition to the console library due to its portability.

Clunky Hero is a very humble adventure that needs more polishment to be considered a really pleasant and interesting experience. [The developers] did not pay enough attention to its gameplay, level design and audio to make the general presentation better, which ends up making the game more Clunky than Hero.

Once again, I'll reinforce the praise I made to the game's art direction, one of its most powerful aspects. Other than that, the nonsensical script and the abandonment of gameplay elements that could be put to much better use make the Backbone experience, overall, disappointing and worth keeping as a bad memory.

Hammerwatch II has its merits, especially in its elaborate pixel art visuals and the possibility of online group play. However, the limitations present in the progression of the story, the ineffective navigation and the complexity of the economy can hinder the pleasure of the game. The online experience also brings challenges with its specific rules, but it's important to be aware of the potential frustrations that can arise due to the less polished aspects of the gameplay. An experience with a mix of ups and downs, where the visuals and the captivating atmosphere can fight against the limitations that can make the journey less attractive.

OddBallers delivers a very fun multiplayer experience thanks to a humorous art direction and a simple gameplay that can be fun for every kind of player. A big issue is that Ubisoft showed a horrible distribution work, applying an univiting price to an experience that would have fit perfectly the free-to-play [method], launching a fun game that's already abandoned. A shame.

Gotham Knights is a project that could have become a new stage on superhero videogame experiences but became a victim of what Batman's big legacy has already brought to the genre as a game that will inevitably be forgotten and purposely ignored.

Train Valley: Console Edition is a game that manages to convey a very casual vibe, with hints of competitiveness for those who want to complete it. However, the console version does not bring any real improvement that justifies its acquisition by those who, at least, have already played or own the PC version. On the contrary, the gameplay in this version is much more laborious, contributing to a quick disinterest in the game.

Pocky & Rocky Reshrined is a honest new take on a classic from the 16-bit era bringing back that desire to play a challenging and fun game with a friend for many hours. However, for modern standards, it doesn't offer enough content to keep you engaged for long. It lacks the multiplayer option at first, doesn't offer extras to keep you coming for more and it may even feel like there isn't much to do after completing it once. It's nostalgic but that isn't enough nowadays.

Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires remains a title aimed only at those who want to participate in the chaotic combats that are a hallmark of the musou genre, and despite having this element, it's not as satisfying as its original version. The excessive repetitiveness and with little varied objectives in the combats, and the excess of information and situations that must be managed by the player are points that leave the general experience quite dull and uninteresting after a few hours.

Demoniaca: Everlasting Night has good ideas in a genre that's already solid but fails to make them work in a way that contributes positively to the experience. The theme is cool, the story is a good headstart but the way is filled with slip-ups on gameplay, visual effects and lacking mechanics, points that would be necessary for it to really leave a lasting impression. It's a game that could have been very good but doesn't hit the mark.

Warborn is a competent title in its presentation and gameplay but its proposal is disappointing due to serious execution flaws. I emphasize that it is an excellent game for those who do not know the genre or prefer a very light experience in tactical games by turns. But proposing something more than the campaign and leaving something to be desired was disappointing. It could have a little place in the sun beside big names but it is better to remain in the shade so as not to suffer from heat stroke until you solve these problems and show your real potential.

For a project with veteran people in the market, a small team, and being the studio's debut game, I think Disintegration was a good start for V1 Interactive but with points that deserve attention to please a larger audience. It also has a very cool science fiction narrative, with characters presenting strong and very characteristic personalities. I think it would even make a good series for Netflix. A new approach to gameplay mixing two very different genres, with a multiplayer mode which even if it doesn't have the best service, can improve, make this an interesting title for those who like new things..

Outcast - A New Beginning offers a mix of science fiction and curious fantasy, providing an immersive gaming experience in a vast and visually arresting open world. However, its approach is quite dated, especially due to the excessive amount of repetitive activities that can make progression tedious and an uninspired script.

Geometry Survivor offers a gaming experience centered on addictive gameplay, typical of bullet heaven-style survival roguelites. However, the game leaves something to be desired by prioritizing aesthetics and presentation to the detriment of content that could add more value to the product as a whole. Despite its flaws, it is still able to capture players' attention with its challenging gameplay and unique aesthetics.

Loot River, with its unique approach, offers an attractive concept, especially for challenge and puzzle enthusiasts. However, issues related to combat and the game's price on PlayStation consoles may be factors to consider when deciding to try this labyrinthine journey on Sony consoles.
