Tower defense games may have few representatives in the current scenario, but Defense Grid 2 fills this gap with praise, presenting a fun and dynamic gameplay, in addition to good challenges and a very high replayability factor. If you miss this type of game, I strongly recommend that you give this title a try.

The Medium is a game that makes references to the horror classics, but adds several new mechanics, making it a unique experience. Despite the low replayability and some specific technical problems, the well-built environments, the chilling soundtrack and the instigating plot make this game one of the most interesting and original in the genre.

Taxi Chaos is a simple and fun game for casual playthrough or to enjoy with young children. The control of the cab is accessible and the scenery is very colorful and well designed. This spiritual successor fulfilled his mission to reproduce Crazy Taxi's gameplay, but failed to bring the chaotic atmosphere of the title that inspired it. The repetition in the objectives, dialogues and music makes it quickly become tiring. For a game that has Chaos in its name, it misses a little bit more chaos.

Forza Horizon 4 is a beautiful, fun and comprehensive game with an impressive degree of technical excellence. The dynamic change of seasons is a differential that adds even more possibilities to the immense amount of content available. Whether you're a beginner or a veteran of racing games, this title is one of the best experiences this generation has to offer.

Black Legend is a tactical RPG with a good sinister and historical setting. It is fun, but overly complex. If you overcome the initial difficulty barrier, you will be rewarded with a rich, immersive strategic game with lots of possibilities for experimentation.

Bladed Fury is a very interesting action game, with a well built world and simple and fun mechanics. The linearity and the little challenge in the middle of the levels are a bit annoying, but it has striking battles against bosses, a very pleasant gameplay and a beautiful look, reminiscent of a work of art. It is a short and interesting adventure for those looking for simple and satisfying fun.

Magic: The Gathering Arena fulfills the old dream of playing wherever you want, with decks designed by yourself, anytime and anywhere. With some gameplay and stability issues, it is far from perfect, but it does its job well in bringing all the richness and complexity of big screens to small screens. It is a very valid option to enjoy Magic, especially considering that it is a free application and has full integration with its desktop version.

Rain on Your Parade is an extremely fun and playful cloud simulator, excellent to be played with children. It will cause laughter in all types of players, be it casual with little contact with the gamer universe, or that hardcore player who will understand all subtle (and less so) references to the gaming industry itself. After all, who doesn't like to cause a good deal of confusion? Or raining coffee?

Judgment is an excellent spinoff, with an intriguing script, striking characters, a fun combat system and an immense amount of content, as traditional in the Yakuza series. In addition, it introduces new mechanics that, despite not shining as much, differentiate it from other games in the series. The game is fun and can provide you with hundreds of hours of entertainment, and my caveats are the lack of Brazilian Portuguese localization and some mechanics that could be revised. Technically the game is very well polished and the remastered version, despite being visually very similar to the original, is advantageous for the accompanying DLC.

After an entire generation without new R-Type games, it is nice to be able to play Final 2, which has kept the main traditions of the series. The visuals are only ok and it has crazy difficulty spikes in the middle of the campaign, but the creative level design of the final stages and that feeling of finishing a difficult game compensate the slow and boring start. R-Type Final 2 is not for everyone; it is explicitly aimed at hardcore shoot ‘em ups fans, but it’s an interesting addition to the library on current consoles that lack good representatives in this genre.

As a film, Erica is a very engaging thriller, not for the somewhat cliché plot, but for the interactivity that brings a special flavor, since the decisions define the ending that will be shown. It is a pity that only the options at the end of the film really matter for the outcome and that there is no system for revisiting scenes or altering decisions. Still, Erica is an interesting title for anyone who is looking for simple entertainment, but with the participation of the viewer, staying in the middle between a conventional film and a game.

Returnal is a very difficult title to evaluate and, therefore, to recommend. It's not bad — on the contrary, it's addictive, beautifully crafted, has controls bordering on perfection, and sublimely leverages the PS5's next-gen features. But its cruel game design is for few; most players will become discouraged and abandon the game along the way. If you like roguelikes, enjoy a good challenge and have unwavering persistence, I definitely recommend Returnal. But if you're one of those people who doesn't like the mechanics of starting over hundreds of times with little progress between the runs, you better move on.

The TakeOver has everything you'd expect from a good beat ‘em up, with a different look and simple and impeccable gameplay. Despite some occasional technical problems, it is a great recommendation for being fun and enjoyable to play, especially for beat'em up fans.

Capcom Arcade Stadium is competent enough in recreating the exciting and noisy atmosphere of an arcade shop, bringing fond memories to the older players and historical context for the younger ones. Its varied collection features dozens of the company's games, some very remarkable, others not so much, covering the main styles that have consecrated Capcom in arcades. Despite the absence of some major games and online multiplayer, it's an almost must-have title for arcade and retrogaming enthusiasts, with lots of extra features and customization options.

Neptunia ReVerse is a very fun RPG, with intense combat and a good balance of difficulty and accessibility. It has a lot of extra content in the form of collectibles, side quests and the fishing minigame, which can entertain the player for quite a while. The story is not that complex, but it is strongly supported by the charisma of its characters, humor and fun combat mechanics. Although not extremely innovative, it is highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a good JRPG and wants to know or revisit Neptunia's universe origin.

Astro’s Playroom is a lovely game, with great level design and a simple and surprisingly pleasurable gameplay, which can be enjoyed by audiences of all ages and skill levels. It completely fulfills the proposal to demonstrate the potential of the new console, while paying a beautiful tribute to the entire trajectory of Sony consoles. It could bring a little more features, but it's still a memorable title and will always be a reference when it comes to demoing PS5 features.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is a technical feat that manages to satisfy professional pilots and flight simulation enthusiasts, yet still be interesting and accessible to non-experts with no aviation experience. Despite being a niche game and getting a bit complicated with the controls, it's essential for flight simulator enthusiasts. It is a benchmark in the genre unparalleled in quality, beauty and realism.

Lawn Mowing Simulator is a well-crafted game that fulfills its purpose of realistically simulating the operation of a professional lawn mower, including the micro-management of a company. The activity itself is repetitive and not very exciting, but on the other hand it is a very relaxing pastime, great for moments of introspection and serenity.

Fort Triumph is a fun and very well done strategic RPG which innovates in its turn-based strategic combat with the terrain use mechanics. Despite having an interface that is a little difficult to understand at first, its humorous campaign with charismatic characters and enjoyable combat system make this game a recommendation for fans of tactical games.
