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.

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.

9.5 / 10.0 - Forza Horizon 5
Nov 11, 2021

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.

Horizon Forbidden West is a graphically beautiful game, wide, with a remarkable story, and extremely fun gameplay. Despite some bumps in the script and occasional bugs, the richness and detail in its setting make the player feel genuinely involved with this universe. Like our heroine Aloy, Horizon Forbidden West may not be perfect, but it's insanely good.

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.

Sep 23, 2023

Starfield is an immense RPG, which gives the player the opportunity to be whoever they want and explore a vast universe, adapting the gameplay to their style, exploring only the mechanics they like most. It's certainly not perfect, but its flaws matter less and less as the player becomes absorbed by the immense amount of activities and content at their disposal. Starfield is an experience that shouldn't be played, but lived, and has enough content to entertain the player for years as their space life simulator.

8.5 / 10.0 - Judgment
May 8, 2021

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.

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.
