75 / 100 - Ravenswatch
Nov 29, 2024

Ravenswatch is a roguelike that stands out for presenting distorted versions of well-known characters and placing them in a very well-idealized dark world. The various possibilities of builds enhanced by the cast of characters and modifiers guarantee a good replay factor, especially when played in a group. But some updates with more content are necessary for the game to remain interesting in the long run.

90 / 100 - Nine Sols

80 / 100 - Planet Coaster 2
Nov 17, 2024

Planet Coaster 2 is a natural evolution of the theme park-building simulation game in many ways. With endless possibilities to spark your creativity and the addition of water parks, it is the best alternative to create your own fun experience. The downside is that bugs, an unintuitive interface, and poorly adapted commands in the console version can demotivate less patient players.

Mea Culpa brings good content to Blasphemous 2, especially for those who want to relive the experience of a new campaign. For those who prefer to focus only on paid content, the return of the legendary Penitent's sword and the addition of new areas and challenges guarantee a few hours of fun, despite leaving the impression of being a short expansion.

The way the development of the campaigns and characters works guarantees hours of gameplay and makes you feel attached to your heroes and the great stories of the Yondering Lands. It's a shame that technical problems hinder part of the experience.

9 / 10.0 - Neva
Oct 15, 2024

Neva combines stunning visuals and a story marked by the relationship between unique characters to result in one of the most exciting experiences in recent years. The addition of combat and platform mechanics really enhance the context of urgency, even though its proposal is not focused on being an action game. All of this makes Neva an unmissable title and a true work of art in digital format.

Remnant II: The Dark Horizon expands the arsenal of weapons and items and explores a new story on the planet of N'erud by introducing more locomotion mechanics that often complicate navigation unnecessarily. The Warden is an interesting archetype especially for solo players and the addition of the boss rush mode exploits the replay factor of the game considerably.

7.5 / 10.0 - The Plucky Squire
Sep 30, 2024

The Plucky Squire is among the most enjoyable and creative titles of recent years. Although the lack of challenges and limited combat may be a bit of a hindrance, the excellent setting and the way the story is able to captivate different audiences make it a great game for the whole family. The caveat is in the technical part: although it doesn't get to the point of ruining the experience, whether running in portable mode on the Switch or in the dock, the game behaves unstable in some situations and presents questionable visuals when in 3D. After finishing the campaign, the impression I had is that the portable mode behaved better in both aspects.

Bloomtown: A Different Story combines qualities from several genres, but it does so in a very competent way. With its turn-based combat system reinforced by the demons' abilities, a story that addresses important themes in a light-hearted way, and very interesting social management, it becomes an RPG that deserves the attention of fans of the genre.

Caravan SandWitch was supposed to be a relaxing game about exploring a planet aboard a van. But instead, the repetition of scenarios and the limitations imposed by a system of collecting components required to proceed in the story hinder a considerable part of the experience.

75 / 100 - Elsie
Sep 10, 2024

Elsie is an interesting homage to the classic action and platform games of the 90s. However, the lack of balance in some of its mechanics and challenges to keep the player motivated after the conclusion of the campaign make it just another roguelite in a market already full of options.

Just like Jemma's search for identity, Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure managed to find a very good place among the genre titles. The way its story develops and the ability to solve more challenging puzzles mix together to create a beautiful adventure worth every challenge we face when exploring it.

Black Myth: Wukong makes use of a great literary work to create one of the best settings inspired by Chinese culture. Although there are still technical problems in the PlayStation 5 version, those who manage to overcome them will be facing a game full of combat alternatives and with great boss fights. For fans of action RPGs, Black Myth: Wukong is a must-have.

7.5 / 10.0 - Magical Delicacy
Aug 24, 2024

Like an experimental recipe that combines different flavors, Magical Delicacy can cause different impressions depending on the player's taste. The good management system and great art direction are positive points, but the lack of guidance to navigate the map and an initially confusing system of combining ingredients may require a few pinches of patience.

Flock is an excellent representation of the freedom of flying through an ecosystem that is both exotic and mysterious. A relaxing journey through a beautiful world that can easily be recommended for all ages.
