Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island is an extremely fun and challenging roguelike, as well as one of the most addictive titles I've ever had the pleasure of playing. With the exception of the lack of subtitles in Portuguese, which becomes a significant limitation due to often needing to read the items' [effects], and the relevance of the luck factor, which can greatly influence the journey (something inherent to the genre itself), I have no relevant reservations or negative points to point out about the game.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles has fun combat and is remarkably faithful to the original material, offering an effective introduction to those who don't know the anime. Unfortunately, the game slips up considerably due to the shallowness of its mechanics and the constant repetition, resulting in an experience that doesn't sustain itself during the whole campaign.
