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.

90 / 100 - Shogun Showdown
Sep 11, 2024

Shogun Showdown is a turn-based strategy roguelite that will definitely require all your concentration to overcome your biggest challenges. The large number of weapons and skills, as well as a great setting inspired by Japanese culture, allow the game to hold your attention for many hours.

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.

8 / 10.0 - Flock
Aug 23, 2024

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.

Thank Goodness You’re Here! managed to make a typical British humor experience that's also a casual and relaxing game. It isn't only one of the best representations of comedy in videogames but also one of the most interesting games released this year.

9 / 10.0 - Animal Well
Aug 10, 2024

When I stop to think that Animal Well is a product of a single person's imagination, all the positive impressions I had about the game take on even greater proportions. Animal Well applies simple concepts to create a formula that can incite the player's creativity and their ability to understand a mysterious ecosystem. A game like this doesn't come along very often and deserves to be revered whenever possible.

65 / 100 - Deathbound
Aug 9, 2024

Deathbound offers some interesting ideas for soulslikes. However, design and technical issues prevent it from reaching a more prominent place in a genre where these concepts are key to determining what is really good.

Still Wakes the Deep finds the balance between its simple gameplay and an excellent survival horror setting. Caz Mcleary's journey is not only a story of overcoming, but also of love, told through one of the best psychological horror narrative experiences released recently.

Closer the Distance is a good narrative game that simulates themes of our daily lives through a heavy emotional component, as well as a somewhat confusing character management system that can result in the loss of important moments in the story.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn ends up getting lost in its concepts. The more agile vertical movement and combat alternatives are a positive point, but the lack of a more robust upgrade system and, mainly, bosses that reward the player make the game a confusing mix of ideas.

Overall, Dawntrail is a great expansion that features a story with ups and downs, but that sets the stage well for what could become the new saga of Final Fantasy XIV.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is the biggest and most ambitious expansion ever developed by FromSoftware. However, it could have been flawless if it weren't for the over-the-top recycling of enemies. Even so, the challenging boss fights and the great sense of exploration with the addition of new layouts on the maps make Shadow of the Erdtree an excellent conclusion to the Elden Ring journey.

80 / 100 - Saviorless
Apr 2, 2024

Saviorless is one of those games where the simplicity of the gameplay and the quality of the art direction work together to create something unique. Even though the campaign is short, walking through the steps of the characters and unraveling the mysteries of the narrative make it worth the time.

Mar 31, 2024

Ruff Ghanor is a good digital representation of the character's universe and a game that has engaging mechanics, despite being challenging to the point of seeming unfair in some situations.

With an exploration encouraged by an excellent combat system based on the best mechanics of some of its most famous games, Capcom consolidates Dragon's Dogma as one of its great franchises.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake retells the exciting story of the brothers, keeping the basic concepts of the original game, but improving its graphics and sound in a considerable way. However, technical problems go against these improvements, and some fixes are needed so that the game can reach its full potential.
