Aztech: Forgotten Gods had an interesting premise and promised to embark on a story that would stray from what we usually see. However, the plot is quite common and could be located in any people or place in Western culture. The battles against the gods, sold by marketing as the main course, are actually very punctual and poorly executed due to camera and movement problems. The various technical flaws are worthy of a title from the beginning of the 3D era, but difficult to overlook in the current moment of game development.

The protagonist, Fuma, is a skilled warrior with very plastic movements. With all this fascinating ambience of the ancient Japan, not only thanks to the visual but also the soundtrack, seeing all the plasticity of a good hit with a sword is an important part of the game for immersion. To help visualization, movement is slow. However, this is still an action game, and having the gameplay suffer with slow movements isn't exactly ideal. This example sums what GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon is: an action game with beautiful visuals. However, its visual refinement sometimes goes beyond what can be functional. It's a title that tries to incorporate features from successful modern roguelikes. However, what inspired it didn't serve to give it prominence and personality sometimes. It's a game with potential to be extraordinary but loses itself in the mundane.

Dimension Shellshock is interesting and expands the references to the multimedia Ninja Turtles universe, including the character skins. However, the difficulty isn't well balanced compared to the base game, turning it into a little frustrating experience.

Smurfs Kart is a simple game and doesn't try to be more than that. This is by no means a bad thing. The title knows what it wants to present and delivers casual, family fun using all the charisma and sympathy of the characters. Just like Clumsy Smurf, it slips up a little, making it unable to reach the highest places of the podium, but it's fun enough to be worth a few laps.

Disney Illusion Island presents itself as an average game. It doesn't invent the wheel nor does it bring novelties, offering the "bread and butter" done well.

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons dives headlong into renewing the franchise, even though it respects the classic a lot and avoids mischaracterizing it, thus preserving the nostalgia factor. The changes that bring new perspectives to the gameplay and fighting strategy in the campaign are very welcome, thus differentiating the title from its contemporaries. The stumbles in difficulty and the injustice caused by wrong decisions, however, take the shine out of the journey – both solo and in duo –, which is fun most of the time, until it becomes extremely frustrating.

PetitFabrik's Amazonian creators did a good job with Kukoos: Lost Pets, delivering beautiful and pleasant visuals, charismatic characters and varied gameplay mechanics in an attractive 3D world. Even with small issues, it's a beautiful addition to the studio's portfolio, and it's worth checking this Brazilian title out.

Cassiodora is not a great dish. If it doesn't stand out for its originality or for the accurate revision in subtitles and gameplay, the title brings together several well-known elements in mythology and in the shmup genre, and makes a good and fun bread and butter, which entertains a lot throughout its duration and still seeks to extend this meal with a good replay factor. It is worth a visit to the Brazilian restaurant at Void Studios.

Despite the problems, Atari Mania is an extremely fun experience. The integration of the gallery with the story mode, which goes straight to the point, the quality and variety of the microgames, the extra content available and the celebration atmosphere make this an excellent and modern retro title, indispensable for those who like the style and for the company fans.

Spidersaurs do not reinvent the wheel and do not aim to do so. Like a good B movie, the game builds on everything that has been made in the run and gun genre and seeks to reuse key elements using a very good sense of humor. It's like a more accessible Contra made for the current times, quite pleasant to spend an afternoon.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed presents an original story truly interesting and worthy for the series, taking place between Episode 3 and Episode 4. Visiting known places such as Kashyyyk, the home planet of the Wookiees, or Felucia, overgrown by vegetation, continues to be a good thing even after 14 years. With a competent port, even without huge improvements, playing this game on Switch only shows how the original release was already great in 2008 and continues to be a must-play to this day despite showing its age.

Tinker Racers is the result of the excellent work of three people. With a simple, direct and full of nostalgia, the brazilians from the Rumbora studio entertain and maintain the challenge by offering great controls. The creative and well-built scenarios amuse from the start, but the repetition makes the smiles go. Still, the game never becomes boring, leaving the desire for a more complete sequence.

Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is not a simple collection, which takes advantage of a commemorative brand to earn a few bucks with old and reheated titles. What we have here is an exhibition that is nothing short of a real museum: we have classic works, testimonials from the creators, curiosities and openings for new interpretations. This is the model of how every celebratory work should be.

Horizon Chase 2 is the evolution that the franchise deserved. The sequel features visuals with more elaborate effects, successfully implements online multiplayer that the original did not have and improves vehicle configuration with better use of coins earned in races. Looking forward to the next projects from the Brazilians at Aquiris.

It is expected that some series will show ups and downs. Others, however, follow a path of constant evolution, improving and improving with each new title. Pikmin 4 marks the apex of the franchise, bringing (almost) everything good that previous games have already presented, in addition to excellent new features and the implementation of all these elements in a pleasant and inviting way. If this fourth title isn't able to win you over, I don't know what will.

The word that defines Papetura for me is experience. The images are stunning, the story unfolds in an extremely inviting way, and knowing that so much of it is handcrafted from paper just made my jaw drop. Looking forward to the next work of art by Tomasz Ostafin and his studio Petums.
