8 / 10.0 - Bread & Fred
Jun 13, 2023

Bread & Fred is an excellent option for those who like to play with someone at their side. The penguins' adventure is full of charisma, tension and frustration but it offers some hours of fun and arguing among players. The title also adapts itself to diverse situations, having a singleplayer mode and accessibility options that make it more pleasant to casual players.

Two Point Campus: School Spirits is an excellent quality DLC that maintains the level of the base game through a creative map, new courses and funny and well-animated characters. Also, the dynamic of needing to exorcise spirits to get new lands and having to be aware of spirits tormenting your students is really cool and brings an air of novelty to the game. Despite having less content than the first update, I believe that School Spirits is a good investment, considering its lower price and the fact that it has more impactful content.

8 / 10.0 - RE:CALL
Feb 2, 2023

RE:CALL is an excellent mystery game that combines an engaging story with well-crafted gameplay. The game fluctuates at its pace, with its second half presenting a dynamic very different from what was proposed at the beginning, but the final balance is very positive. The characters are well built, the soundtrack is wonderful and the way the mysteries unfold from our choices makes it an excellent game.

Jan 16, 2023

Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator is a simulator that, despite being simple, delivers a solid and creative challenge for players. Its dynamics are perfect to be that game to pass the time and relax a little, and its soundtrack and graphics make the game much more enjoyable. Despite becoming repetitive over time, it is recommended for anyone who likes a more relaxed and accessible management experience.

8 / 10.0 - Samurai Bringer
May 6, 2022

Samurai Bringer makes great use of the variety of alternatives to create unique combat sessions. The dynamics of testing different combinations of moves is extremely fun and encourages the player's creativity. On the other hand, the common scenarios and enemies leave a lot to be desired because of the little variety of elements. Overall, despite its simplicity, it's an excellent alternative for fans of the genre.

8 / 10.0 - Time Loader
Nov 20, 2021

Time Loader offers players a very fun and creative adventure. Although there are limitations, the creativity of the scenarios and alternative paths allow the player to be captivated by the various references from the 90s, and mechanics based on a more realistic physics are competent. Some points, such as the soundtrack and the little variety of challenges, leave something to be desired, but these details do not prevent the game from being enjoyed.

8 / 10.0 - The Last Friend
Oct 7, 2021

The Last Friend presents itself as a very fun title and has a balanced challenge. Planning your dog team is a fun activity, as is building combos with Alpha. However, the feeling is that the game lacks a bit of body. Augmenting the post-game with more stages and/or missions would help extend the lifespan and encourage the player to create more dog combinations. Although some issues need to be fixed, it is an excellent option for tower defense fans.

8 / 10.0 - Aeon Drive
Oct 5, 2021

Within its proposal, Aeon Drive delivers a game far above average. It's short for anyone looking for a brief distraction and long enough for anyone interested in collecting and exploring everything. As it tends to be a difficult and repetitive game, the dynamic gameplay and different path options in each stage help make it less tiring. Because it has a short campaign, its longevity depends on the player's interest in setting time records and collecting extras. Even with its problems and limitations, it is an excellent option for fans of the genre.

8.5 / 10.0 - Dicefolk
Feb 29, 2024

Dicefolk uses and reinvents traditional concepts to create a unique adventure. There is a good variety of chimeras, skills and equipment that, when combined, allow us to develop the most varied strategies. Added to this, we have the change in perspective of turn-based combat, which makes the gameplay much more complex by requiring players to control both teams. I believe that balancing is necessary so that certain combinations are not much stronger than others, but the game is on the right track to please players looking for different turn-based combat.

As the last act of Riot Forge, Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story excellently concludes a sequence of games that expanded the universe of the renowned MOBA. By presenting an innocent and funny adventure, with charming graphics and an impeccable localization, he creates a super captivating game that is capable of entertaining both LoL players and those who have never opened up to this universe.

Ion Fury: Aftershock brings a generous amount of content to Voidpoint's boomer shooter, assuaging some of the issues of the base game and keeping all of its virtues. The new stages, weapons, and enemies bring a breath of fresh air while keeping the nostalgic structure intact and more pleasant. Even if some small issues persist, Aftershock is an expansion recommended to fans of the genre.

Passpartout 2: The Lost Artist takes advantage of simple mechanics to create a fun and relaxing adventure. Any player, artist or not, can use the different tools available and produce the most diverse paintings while enjoying a pleasant ambiance and a wonderful soundtrack. Even though some aspects are not explored much (such as the story), Passpartout is more than recommended for those looking for a short game to pass the time and enjoy the day.

8.5 / 10.0 - Summum Aeterna
Sep 13, 2023

Summum Aeterna doesn't revolutionize but it offers plenty of tools to amenize the usual issues of the roguelite games. The Aeternum Game Studios made an effort to add many elements that reduce the feeling of repetition and the limited design of the stages and managed to accomplish their mission. The combat is fast and pleasant and the high amount of upgrades and skills at the players' disposal help make each match unique. This way, it's worth a recommendation for all kinds of players, from the ones who are very invested in roguelites to those who aren't so intimate with the genre.

8.5 / 10.0 - Ember Knights
Aug 1, 2023

Though it's not innovative, Ember Knights impressively does the basic of the genre well. The big amount of elements to add variation to the combat allow players to elaborate various combat strategies and allows the game to avoid being too repetitive. However, this [repetitive] feeling still persists due to the small variety of rooms in each world and the difficulty peak at the end of the game. Despite that, Ember Knights delivers a really fun and challenging adventure, making it a recommendation for those looking for a new roguelite option.

With creative and fun puzzles, Figment 2: Creed Valley is one of the most charming games I played recently despite its shallow combat. The musical rhythm, colorful and lively sceneries and the voice acting, especially for the protagonists, make it one of the most captivating titles I ever touched. It's an easy recommendation for people looking for a light and challenging game to pass the time.

Two Point Campus: Space Academy is an expansion that matches what was proposed in the base game. The space theme fits very well into the game, mainly because it maintains the visual quality, the creativity of the courses and keeps the management challenge well balanced even with the different spaces for building and expanding your university. However, it's possible that the content isn't impactful enough to appeal to the more casual Two Point Campus players. The base game already has a sufficient amount of content to satisfy the less demanding and the DLC, despite the quality, does not present itself as a relevant element to justify its purchase.

8.5 / 10.0 - Potionomics
Oct 18, 2022

Potionomics has simple but multi-layered mechanics that make it robust enough to keep it interesting until the end. In addition, the characters are well developed, especially their animations, overflowing with charisma during the dialogues. The negotiation mechanics using cards is the highlight, and it is possible to devise many different strategies to increase the products' value. However, the lack of Portuguese localization is a negative point, mainly because it is a game based on text and dialogues with choices. Also, the first few hours of the campaign may interfere with the player's interest in continuing with the game due to the unbalanced difficulty. Even with these problems, Potionomics is quite competent in what it offers and is certainly one of the most positive surprises of 2022.

No Place for Bravery takes a serious and mature look at the hopes and fears of a father searching for his missing daughter. Every aspect of the game competently fits together to create a gripping story, as well as presenting a richly detailed and very interesting mythology. Despite occasional bugs and inaccuracy in the platform sections, this game is highly recommended for those looking for a moving story and challenging combat.

8.5 / 10.0 - Two Point Campus
Aug 19, 2022

Two Point Campus has arrived to show that Two Point Studios has a good idea in hand and is able to adapt it to different administrative realities. The game offers a solid management challenge without losing the light and relaxed essence proposed by its predecessor.

Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy is extremely bold in adopting the procedural system in virtually every element of its gameplay. I certainly haven't seen a good part of its possibilities and it's impossible to say what your adventure will be like and this is its greatest merit. Even playing several times, your adventure will always be unique and exclusively yours. Your world is alive and full of color and seeing your actions interfere with the passing of the years makes it all very natural. The small glitches in combat and camera don't detract from the game's shine and it's well worth a try.
