If Gotham Knights is an original game? No, but that does not detract from being a solid experience. Giving prominence and opportunity to secondary heroes to shine and being able to even switch between them, brings a healthy variety of distinct games in the genre. One of its strong points is definitely the interesting plot, relegating to the second line the leading role that Batman had in this world. There are some points that could be fixed in a simple way and maybe with updates they will, but overall it's a good superhero game with the usual atmosphere of the Batman universe. With the Multiplayer mode still being polished, we may have a few more hours of entertainment here to spend with friends or enthusiasts of this genre.

Asterigos: Curse of the Stars is a good action/adventure game that focuses on a diversified combat and narrative to bring a pleasant experience to the player. There are a few opportunities of improvement, such as the simplistic textures (which also tend to become repetitive) or the lack of guidance features in the map or cenarios (which tend to difficultate our navigation to the objective). Still, in a global context, these are aspects that don't spoil the experience much and we recommended our readers to give the irreverent Hilda a chance!

The Legend of Heroes : Trails From Zero is an excellent, and I reiterate, excellent RPG title for fans. Being associated with a saga helps in that respect, because we always want more, and the Trails saga gives us more. It takes some patience to endure the slow but interesting development of the plot, where the care taken to unite these four characters and their different personalities is palpable, making us immerse ourselves in the story that is presented. This charisma, allied to the captivating strategic combats, makes this creation a title to take into account even today.

Trek to Yomi is, in our humble opinion, an experience mandatory for all players. A surprising experience, which brings a breath of fresh air to the current videogame market, while presenting visually beautiful graphics and a captivating story. A videogame that makes you absorve the lacking colors and immerse ourselves in these tons of grey that awaken our senses, where both Japanese history and mythology are well represented.

Answering our title question, if Strangers of Paradise deserves to have Final Fantasy in the title, our answer is adamant: it does not. There was no relevant care in several factors to even be a game that can be enjoyed. The story doesn't have a logical plot, the game-play becomes repetitive and especially the graphic aspect is a blunt (sorry for the repetition of the term)... Chaos. We sincerely hope that Final Fantasy XVI will erase this spinoff from memory, with the certainty that until then the name of Square Enix does not bring us the joy it once did.

Being Monark an RPG developed by ex-producers of Shin Mengami Tensei, it's natural to notice some similarities. Particularly regarding the school theme, the mute main character or pacts with demons. What we emphasize in Monark is exactly the opposite. Namely, all the changes that were considered in order to give a breath of fresh air and, brilliantly, provide a new direction to an already very defined genre. So Monark presents itself as something innovative that only lacks some graphic polish, but for fans of the style, they will certainly be able to suffer from some "Gluttony" to taste this game! We fully believe that there is a silver lining for a Monark 2 and we're hopping for that to happen, so that we can present the developers with the "sin" of Pride.

It is accurate to say that BlackWind didn't present anything really inovating, but it combined several formulas (successfully) and presented a very pleasant experience. A title for players who like different styles and enjoy a gratifying gameplay, without many compromises. Nevertheless, we highlight the available difficulty modes (which are reflected in enemy fire rates and higher HP), which manage to adjust this title, from a more casual to a more frantic experience.

Unfortunately it has started to be recurrent in the video game industry to release titles as "unfinished" and where BattleField 2042 seems to fit perfectly. But despite that, we believe that with the implementation of several patches, all the bugs we found in the game can be solved and EA and DICE give a clear shot with the new dynamics inserted.

Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is the series' second entry in the West, denoting a clear and concrete growth of its peculiarities. For us it's clear that the saga is on the right path to becoming a heavyweight, with the ability to easily face the most recognized RPG's that are deeply enshrined in the video game market. Certainly there are some flaws, but overall they have little impact on the transmitted experience. With a pleasurable plot to discover and surpass, its virtues left us delighted and clinging to the command!

Phoenix Point is an excellent retainer for fans of turn-based strategy games. Despite being a style that doesn't have a wide range of connoisseurs, it is still well defined in all aspects and with a deep strategic system to be considered by those who want to try it. The flaws noted do not leave negative feelings that prevent us from enjoying this title. If you want to try the genre, here without a doubt is an excellent option. For fans, including those who have probably played the X-COM titles, they won't feel that it's a copy. Certainly with some similarities, it's true, but with quite a different feeling.

Crytek defines Crysis Remastered as an epic singleplayer experience. Both Crysis 2 and 3 are on par with newer first-person shooters, achieving great association with the characters and introducing a captivating storyline and theme. It's really a shame they didn't take the same care in refining the first title to make this experience complete. A clear opportunity for improvement in this set. However, its inclusion in this package is essential. We strongly recommend it if you want to relive this epic saga. If you're fans of first person shooters and focusing on single-player campaigns, it's also an experience to behold.

Fifa 22 raises the bar compared to its predecessor, getting very close to what all players are looking for in a football simulator: a fluid and realistic experience. It also brings new game modes and a greatter implementation of the female gender, bringging to the game a more diverse and representative experience. We certainly recommend FIFA 22 not only to fans, but to anyone looking for a new experience in this genre.

Visual Dart and Next Stage have in Ultra Age a diamond in the rough, conveying the feeling of not having been sufficiently polished. Ultra Age reveals itself as a title with an interesting premise with a very rewarding combat system, but with some serious problems at key points in the experience. For this reason, we cannot in good conscience affirm that they do not tarnish the experience as a whole. Still, we believe that if there is ever an "Ultra Age 2" (following the sugestion of the after the end credits scene) we can see this saga in a bigger picture in the videogames business.

Kitaria Fables is intended to reward the most patient players . Having to plant, water, mow and mine to be up to the curve of difficulty that the game presents us, can leave the most impatient unwilling to complete this experience. However, getting involved in this system brings a feeling of realization that still has the premise of seeing the unfolding of the story and all its twists in this adventure with cats, goats, tigers, bears, among others.

WRC10 will undoubtedly delight fans of the series or even Rallys. Many tracks, many modes, many cars in a game with exquisite gameplay. If you're not a fan but looking for a new adventure, WRC10 won't let you down!

We made an effort to like Tormented Souls. We even recognize that it could be the beginning of a franchise with a future. But baby steps. Many baby steps. Perhaps the "religious fans" of Suspense and Horror games can appreciate this one, but it has several points to be improved to bring other types of players to like this initiative.

Evergate is without a doubt an excellent puzzle/platformer game designed for the most persistent, who don't easily let their mistakes down. It's a game that we advise you to leave it installed if you ever reach a more complicated crossroad. Just turn it off and come back after a while! You'll be sure to pull it through!

Cotton Reboot is a good shoot 'em up for those who want to spend a little time unwinding from the every day's stress, or simply for those who like to work hard and always be in first place in the ranking. Mainly, we would like the experience to be a little more extensive, as the only 7 levels were not enough to quench our thirst!

BioMutant features a lot of interesting components, but they convey a feeling that none have been truly polished. In fact, the recurring feeling is one of lack of purpose, leading to a somewhat salty and simplistic experience. Despite everything it is visually appealing and it has a fun and diverse combat mechanics. It is mainly a game suitable for those who like to explore every corner and always have some content outside the main quests.
