Cinders is an excellent visual novel that makes the player think a lot about the Cinderella tale. With striking and very believable characters, it is possible to understand the motivations of each one and test dozens of different options to lead the protagonist in the way the player prefers, for better or for worse, and bear the consequences of those decisions. Despite not having Brazilian Portuguese localization and some rhythm issues, it is recommended for lovers of good stories.

art of rally offers a different approach for enthusiasts of this sport, being suitable for those looking for accessible rally games without sacrificing realistic physics. With pleasant gameplay, good controls and a nice minimalist look, maybe it won't appeal to those looking for an experience closer to first-person simulators, but it serves the purpose of offering a fun game that celebrates this motorsport category history.

ACA Neo Geo World Heroes 2 is a fighting game with fun and technically advanced gameplay, innovative projectile reflection and throw reversal mechanics, as well as offering two game modes and fourteen interesting characters. Unfortunately it is little known by the public, which makes its availability for modern platforms like Switch very important so that more people can know and appreciate it.

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut is stunning in both art direction and gameplay and script. If you haven't played Ghost of Tsushima yet, I definitely recommend this title. If you've already played the base version and would like to delve into Jin's story, relive epic duels, or want another twenty hours of brand new content, I also recommend purchasing it. While the Director's Release improvements aren't too flashy, especially for PS4 gamers, the island of Iki adds a lot of content, both from a plot point of view as well as new enemies and activities. For me it's a must-have title for those who enjoy open-world action games or enjoy the historical setting of the samurai times.

Although it has an innovative premise and is visually very cute, the overall experience of SkateBIRD is frustrating. The controls and camera are confusing, and the physics doesn't work as it should. It's a game with a very original concept and could be a lot of fun, but it lacked polish.

Centipede: Recharged is extremely true to its origins and innovates with modernized graphics, new weapons and more game modes. While its gameplay is somewhat repetitive, on the other hand it's a classic mechanic that never gets really old or uninteresting. It's an excellent choice for a local multiplayer match with a friend, whatever your skill level.

NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 1 is an interesting and varied collection with great games from the SNK portable console. It's a product that is sure to appeal to retro enthusiasts and portable enthusiasts, with the potential to appeal to a wider audience, especially casual gamers, given the simple, “to the point” nature of the games. Although it's a bit under-resourced and despite the absence of SNK Vs. Capcom: The Match of Millenium, the quality of the collection will guarantee a lot of fun.

King's Bounty II is fun, but some frustrating details like the character's slow movement when exploring the world and poorly finished graphics give the impression of lack of polish and spoil the overall experience. Fortunately, the tactical combat is very good, offering nuances to explore. Studying the skills of each unit type, planning the perfect army, and thinking up strategies to make the best use of the terrain make combat like a fun and challenging board game. But unfortunately, in general, the game leaves a little to be desired.

Demon Slayer - Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles is an absolutely unmissable game for anime fans, who will relive exciting moments of the saga. I believe it also has the potential to please those who have never followed the animation, due to its very consistent campaign mode. The fighting system is extremely satisfying, simple in its mechanics, friendly to novices, and fun to veterans. It is a fighting game more casual than competitive, very well done and focused on the player experience.

It's curious to see how well the franchises fit in Neptunia vs. SENRAN KAGURA: Ninja Wars, as originally they didn't have many elements in common, except for the emphasis on the girls' physical attributes. Even with differences in tone, and even in the aesthetics of the two universes, the final product is a fun action game and - of course - with a lot of fanservice. Despite the convoluted script that could delve a little deeper into the characters, it is a product suitable for fans, which is sustained by the combat action and the charisma.

Forza Horizon 5 is everything you love about the franchise, only bigger, more refined and much better looking. Everything that was good has been kept, like seasonal changes, dynamic weather and colossal amount of content, hundreds of cars, nine difficulty levels and several tweaks that make the game fun, whatever your skill level. This title particularly draws attention for its setting in Mexico, which brings a greater degree of familiarity to us Brazilian players than all the maps seen in the series. Its technical excellence and virtually endless amount of content make FH5 a must-have experience for anyone who enjoys racing games.

Little Bug is a platform puzzle with unique mechanics that shows how simplicity doesn't equate to lack of challenges. Despite having annoying difficulty peaks, it's an interesting game that will put the player's control over the controls to the test, as it tells the most incredible adventure ever experienced on the way home from school.

Red Ronin is an indie that unites action and board mechanics in an exciting turn-based tactical game. The visual and sound effects are very stylish and convey the feeling of extreme skill on the part of the protagonist. The first half of the campaign is excellent and will hook the player, but the final missions can be a rather tiring exercise in trial and error. It's a title with interesting premises and recommended for anyone who wants to try a tactical puzzle, but with frantic action.

Beyond a Steel Sky is an enticing and well-written adventure that presents reflections on our own society with a text rich in humor and adventure. Though it errs by making its story a little too linear, the excellent presentation and stunning visuals, totally voiced dialogues and good hack puzzles, along with its smart tips system, make this game a good recommendation for lovers of adventures, point and click and the cyberpunk theme.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun - Aiko's Choice is a chance to re-encounter our favorite assassin quintet in unique and impeccably well-planned missions. It's true that no new additions were included in the expansion, but on the other hand, it carefully executes what was already excellent and deepens the story of one of its most beloved characters. It is highly recommended for those who enjoy RTS and mandatory for those who liked the original title.

In My Shadow is a platform puzzle with a good premise, interesting mechanics, but it's not that fun in practice. The idea of manipulating objects to use their shadows on multiple planes is fantastic, but the puzzles end up requiring a lot of trial and error, which becomes tedious and frustrating. It has an emotional backstory, but it hasn't been explored very well, leaving many questions unanswered.

Halo Infinite is a fun and accessible shooter, which introduces new concepts while rescuing the best traditions of the series, bringing an exciting script, focused on the Master Chief and his relationship with his new and friendly companion, Arma. This is, without a doubt, the best Halo made by 343, both in terms of gameplay, visuals, mechanics and plot, and one of the most fun of the entire saga, being a definite recommendation for enthusiasts of futuristic shooters.

Reverie Knights Tactics is a great RPG, with a unique art style, captivating characters, a deep story and rich in details. Combat is challenging and tactically deep, and requires the player to think ahead when making decisions. Even those who don't enjoy a challenge will enjoy it playing in Story mode. It is a highly recommended game for tactical RPG enthusiasts, especially fans of Holy Avenger and the Tormenta universe.
