Alexandre Galvão's Reviews
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak has content that transcends much of what we've heard about DLC in general. The feeling we have here is that we are playing something totally revitalized and renewed, which manages to hold our attention and create an engagement that only those who have experienced dozens of hours of hunting will know how to take advantage of it. Even so, I do not withdraw the statement that this is content for the few. Deserving to be part of this experience is the first of many rewards that await us in an expansion that uses and abuses the term “massive”. Sunbreak is big, and it's not just about the monsters, it's about the journey before, during, and what awaits us after. This is a must-have add-on package for veteran and experienced hunters alike, and an enticing invitation for novices.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is, without a doubt, the best Star Wars experience to date. Exquisite in everything it proposes, the title confirms Respawn Entertainment's competence in creating an addictive action game that manages to evolve all aspects of the experience we had in 2019 with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. All that remains is to give more seriousness to the issue of optimization to make the overall experience really perfect.

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.

OTXO is a good choice for anyone who enjoys straightforward action without elaborate stories or very complex mechanics. Even without bringing anything new to the roguelite genre, the simple but still challenging gameplay is the main highlight of this indie title that uses and abuses action to provide an almost cinematic shooting experience.

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is a great invitation for those who want to know more or simply start their journey through the rich mythological world of Runeterra. With satisfying and exciting combat, this aspect is a good draw for anyone who enjoys action games. It's not formidable, but it shows the quality of Riot Forge's ability to create experiences with different approaches using League of Legends intellectual property.

Storyteller's main merit is the playful way in which the puzzles must be solved, in addition to a cute art direction full of charisma. However, its shallow and little-used execution makes the game uninteresting very quickly, making it nothing more than an uncommitted pastime with a challenge that does not generate much engagement for the player.

DREDGE mixes moments of contemplation and relaxation with good doses of mystery and exploration. It's an experience whose pacing depends a lot on how the player wants to interact in the game world and rewarding it, regardless of which approach will give the most anxiety during their solitary and mysterious adventure.

KartRider: Drift makes a humble addition to the list of games as a service that are worth checking out to invest your time thanks to accessible gameplay, ease of finding matches and the freedom to choose where to play without compromising your progress to a single platform. They are good excuses to have it installed on more than one device to enjoy one or another race whenever you have a little time to spare.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a testament to how Team Ninja has complete mastery when it comes to making a quality action RPG. The agile and rewarding combat, hallmark of the studio's work, reached its best form in what can already be considered one of the best games of 2023.

Deck 'Em! It's a great choice for anyone looking for something extremely simple and uncompromising to play and occupy small gaps of time in their day-to-day life. The PC version arrives as an interesting option for this purpose, but it does not surpass the practicality of the mobile version due to its simplicity and super casual proposal.

Despite its small issues, Atomic Heart is the first product of a small studio that still manages to be a positive highlight among big titles already available in 2023. With updates improving navigation and gameplay, I believe Mundfish can make the player experience much better as the year goes on.

Pharaoh: A New Era is a great adaptation of a management game classic by today's standards. The player's quality of life when experiencing more than 4000 years of history in one of the greatest civilizations of humanity is the main feature of this competent remake thanks to improvements in gameplay, graphics and especially the soundtrack. The gods are pleased with the return of this work.

Blanc is a great pick for those who want a simple, casual, fast play with a friend in a captivating story. However, even though it's an interesting co-op experience, technical limitations may leave an unpleasant experience due to small details that can make playing it online 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.

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.

Monster Hunter Rise is a true exponent of everything the franchise has presented over almost two decades of existence. With subtle improvements in gameplay, the game's arrival on more platforms could make this the greatest of all games in the series ever released in Capcom's history.

Need for Speed Unbound manages to reinvigorate a long-lived franchise that still manages to stand out, even after almost 30 years of existence. The aesthetics and atmosphere of the game refer to the golden times of NFS Underground and NFS Hot Pursuit with elements that make the experience modern and fun. It's a title that could be the starting point for a new generation of the series after many years of ups and downs.

Despite not innovating anything in the roguelike genre, Impaler is a very honest recommendation for anyone looking for a few hours of cheap fun with minimalist graphics and a fair challenge for any player profile, be it a fan of first-person shooters, roguelikes , or even both.

Bravery and Greed is a great option for fun and addictive gameplay with friends in an engaging roguelite experience, despite not innovating within the genre. The desire to play a new game is always great after filling the pockets with each new attempt to get filthy rich.

McPixel 3 is a great choice for those looking for something more casual and light for their gaming moments. With a predominant and often exaggerated humor, this indie title has a unique and unpretentious vibe that yields good laughs and a little work for those who want to complete it. You can play while eating popcorn, but be careful not to get butter on your controller.
