10 / 10.0 - Split Fiction
Mar 4, 2025

Hazelight has nailed it once again with Split Fiction. I was hooked on the adventure from start to finish, full of fun, creative and impactful moments, all with impressive polish. Each new idea presented left me excited to continue and discover how far the game would go, always accompanied by impeccable graphics and sound. Split Fiction will stay with me for a long time, being one of those unique experiences that remind me why I love video games so much.

9 / 10.0 - TEVI
Nov 30, 2023

Despite appearing to be just another metroidvania among many, TEVI stands out for a combat system full of possibilities and an engaging story full of captivating characters and memorable bosses. Some problems related to the lack of variety in certain regions, occasionally frustrating moments due to the difficulty that affect some of the experience and a slight drag in the running time in the final stretch of the game are notable problems, but they certainly do not erase the shine of the adventure.

With an unusual gameplay to master and a surreal, charismatic world, this is definitely one of the surprises of the year. If you're looking for an excellent platformer with a unique and nostalgic concept, it's very recommended!

I've already reviewed some Konami collections in the past months and I can attest that Castlevania Dominus Collection is one of the best works in their catalog. M2 made a wonderful work once again on the package, not only preserving three inaccessible classics but also revitalizing one of the most ignored works in the franchise.

Sonic X Shadow Generations is more than just a collection of games. By revisiting the franchise's past with ideas from a different era, the title also offers a glimpse into Sonic Team's future, showing that the studio is more capable than ever of delivering great games. It seems that Sega is giving the team more time and money to polish their projects, and the result is evident in Shadow Generations: one of the best titles in the franchise.

MachineGames understood really well the base material to make Indiana Jones and the Great Circle not only a great game by itself, but also an extra chapter that complements the franchise history. I believe this is a very welcome entrypoint for those who don't know the doctor's escapades, and who can get its influences while experiencing a gameplay worth of the best Wolfenstein titles by the developer.

Another Crab’s Treasure is a pleasant surprise in a game style that may be a little overused nowadays. The title stands out for its dynamic battles, well-planned level design and a focus on platforming, besides a story that, while not deep, is compelling due to its characters. Accessibility choices expand the title's potential beyond the audience already familiar with From Software's formula and may fuel discussions about an "easy mode" in this kind of game. Even with technical issues, I already consider it one of the best of the year.

8.5 / 10.0 - Fallen Leaf
Jul 16, 2024

Fallen Leaf isn't a game that revolutionizes the platforming genre, but it's a solid and fun adventure. Though the quantity of stages may lead to tiring progression and the difficulty peaks may be stressful, it's admirable that this title is developed by only three people and presents such polish and variety.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is the perfect introduction to those who wish to adventure through the unique world of Japanese drums. With a robust music selection in the base game that already means a lot of fun — and can be expanded —, the game has a ton of content to unlock. Easy to learn and accessible, it's ideal to play casually and de-stress or to liven up a party with many beats.

I believe Dynasty Warriors: Origins was designed to appeal to a wider audience for the musou genre, adding an extra layer of variety to the traditional formula. For my personal taste as a fan of this style of game, I was quite pleased. The combat has more depth, the narrative is more linear and the diverse structure gives this reboot a fresh feel, moving it away from feeling like just "more of the same".

Capcom delivered another successful remaster. Although Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is the least beloved of the original trilogy, it remains a major classic of the sixth console generation and one of the most ambitious titles of its time. With quality-of-life improvements and a beautiful adaptation of its pre-rendered backgrounds to HD, this is the definitive version of Jubei Yagyu's revenge.

8.5 / 10.0 - Date Everything!
Jun 12, 2025

Date Everything! is a pretty crazy idea that turned into an interesting dating sim, packed with content and full of charming characters — thanks to both its witty writing and its quirky, creative visuals. Even though the gameplay loop can get a bit repetitive and there are some rough edges in the controls, it’s one of those unique experiences that only indie games can offer.

8 / 10.0 - Pocket Bravery
Sep 13, 2023

Pocket Bravery doesn't present major innovations to the genre and may not reach the same highlight as big names in the industry. However, it's a charismatic fighting game with a distinctive art style, having captivating characters and a really interesting, well-written story. Though a few technical issues may hinder it, it offers a fun and functional mechanical experience. It's a great homage to fighting games and it shows the talent of yet another studio from our country.

8 / 10.0 - Berserk Boy
Mar 5, 2024

Berserk Boy is frenetic and satisfying. Even if the challenges become repetitive, performing a well-executed combo and reaching the end of a session in perfect form is very rewarding. It is in the gameplay that the title stands out, as the graphics are not so striking. Highly recommended for fans of 2D action games and for those who miss the Zero and ZX aspects of Mega Man.

8 / 10.0 - Crow Country
May 18, 2024

Crow Country gets it right by incorporating the customs of old survival horror titles in a new guise, both attracting those nostalgic for classic horror and becoming accessible to those looking for another “ugly horror” to enjoy. Despite the ease of combat, the puzzles are creative and the environment, with the use of pre-rendered aesthetics, highlights it as a great option in the genre.

Sorry We're Closed is a pleasant surprise this year, just like TEVI was in the previous one. I was expecting only an unusual visual mix in a horror game but ended up enjoying the drama of the angels in love with demons, trying to get rid of a curse, and comprehend every one's view on "love". Even with some mechanic issues, I ended up satisfied with the experience and I'll be watching closely what à la mode games comes up with in the future.

8 / 10.0 - Marvel Rivals
Feb 1, 2025

Almost two months after its release, it's clear that Marvel Rivals isn't just a passing success. The game has been maintaining daily peaks of over 300,000 players on Steam alone, an impressive number for the genre. I believe this volume could be even higher if the optimization were better worked on, and it remains to be seen whether NetEase will pay due attention to this in the future. For now, what we have is a quality hero shooter, standing out and establishing itself as a strong competitor in the games-as-a-service market.

It's always a good thing to see established titles coming to more platforms, especially PC. Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. not only expands the reach of Sega's iconic franchise, but also attempts to present the definitive experience for the online competitive scene, despite stumbling in matchmaking. Now, all we can do is wait for the next chapter in this saga, which promises to bring a major revolution to 3D fighting games.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered continues to be an impactful experience that only video games can provide. Five years later, it still stands out as a game that is brave in its narrative, engaging to play, with spectacular voice acting and a generous amount of content, consolidating itself as a unique experience within AAA games. The PC port is solid and surpasses the problematic versions we've seen in recent years, but there is still room for refinements that could make it the best way to experience Ellie and Abby's journey.

Even though it's a simple revitalization effort that might disappoint those who wanted a full remake, the initiative to make Croc: Legend of the Gobbos available for current systems is very welcome. Fortunately, the remastering effort was solid and clearly carried out by a team that is passionate about the original game.
