Nearly 25 years after their respective releases, Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles finally brings two good PS1 and PS2 RPGs once exclusive to Japan for modern platforms. Although they are not must-see games, both bring several unique elements that make them very fun and that will captivate fans of the genre who have never played them.

Mortal Kombat 1 has a fun gameplay with several options of combo routes because of the Kameos. However, the Invasions mode gets boring quickly and the final arc of the Story mode doesn't please either. The customization of the characters could be further improved after what we've seen in the other games from NetherRealm Studios and the absence of Krypta is remarkable.

NBA 2K24 is both an incredible basketball simulator at its best on the court and a game tainted by the glut of microtransactions it tries to sell to players. While all modes deliver plenty of content and are long, long-lasting experiences, their success for the player depends heavily on your tolerance for someone trying to sell you something all the time.

WrestleQuest is a fun homage to one of the most important eras of wrestling. It's wrapped in a narrative and combat with good ideas and fun execution, yet fails to reach a higher level thanks to some frustrating design choices that make the game overly repetitive.

Lies of P combines elements of Soulsborne games, adds some ideas of its own and puts it all into a beautifully set version of a dark world, inspired by one of the best-known stories in classic literature. Some of its combat mechanics may take a little longer to get used to, but that doesn't take away from Lies of P's merits in being one of the best Soulslikes released recently.

Firewall Ultra is a simple game, with few modes at launch and that depend on a very time-consuming matchmaking. In addition, the gameplay explores little of the capabilities of VR. With the promised support, Ultra Firewall may be better in the future, but it's hard to recommend it at the moment.

A competent visual novel with an engaging story and unique artwork, ANONYMOUS; CODE delivers a solid experience, even though, at certain points, it brings well-known beats from other games in the SciADV series.

In an attempt by the developer to reach a larger audience, Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten sins as a JRPG, with the story being one of its only saves.

Ashina: The Red Witch comes to expand on a story told in other games, but it works on its own as a supernatural mystery tale that, even without being especially striking, can please those who like Japanese folklore. The gameplay is kept to a minimum of finding and delivering items and its simplicity disrupts the pace at times when the player would rather continue the story instead of making trades that don't seem relevant. Recommended for anyone who wants a playfully dark tale in retro game form and for those who enjoyed My Big Sister and Red Bow.

Alice Escaped! It's a typical metroidvania at its core. The title adapts to the games a classic work of world literature without, however, losing a certain identity based on the charisma of its characters acting collaboratively and the enchantment provided by this very specific reading of the world of Lewis Carroll.

Despite little innovation and certain attempts that ended up not working very well, How 2 Escape got it right when it came to console-app interaction between players. There are several areas with different puzzles and diverse environments, which can deliver a few hours of entertainment. The difficulty of solving some puzzles, however, can be demotivating for some.

Although not the version expected by many players, Red Dead Redemption shows strength as one of the best games of all time. The 2023 version is the most stable option, but it could be much better.

The Making of Karateka is a history lesson. A round package for those who want to know the first works of Jordan Mechner. The making of part is great and bringing in the different versions is essential for preservation. However, for those who seek gameplay and do not care about this historical side, you may be disappointed that we only have basically two very short games. In addition, there are no texts in Portuguese of Brazil, which hinders the accessibility of the material.

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is largely more of the same and we love it for just that. Players well acquainted with the adventures of Zoya, Pontius and Amadeus know exactly what to expect and will surely leave satisfied. For those who do not know, here is the chance to embark on a magical world full of puzzles. The experience is even better when shared with friends, whether it's at the local co-op or online.

Quake II is a great remaster, with content to spare and impeccable work to bring a classic back. The multiplayer is fun, especially the entire campaign in the co-op.

With well-done writing, dynamic battles, and luxurious pixel art adorned by vivid lighting, Sea of Stars passes the test of being a retro and modern turn-based RPG at once retro. We can still notice some outdated little legacies of the genre, but that doesn't affect the enjoyment of embarking as young heroes to save the world in an epic and witty campaign worthy of the new old days.

Madden NFL 24 is a great sports game limited by a number of small issues that affect the experience considerably. While previous complaints have been resolved and clear improvements are seen in the gameplay, the game modes and menus either follow the same or have receded and, along with some lingering points, limit the potential of the title.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon has an excellent, complex gameplay with numerous possibilities to assemble your mecha and playstyle. However, it's also a title that doesn't realize its potential with the story, with the online and a series of decisions that could make the experience more enjoyable. It's certainly a great game, but it could have achieved a much higher level of excellence.

Immortals of Aveum gets it right by bringing a new experience to the genre of first-person shooters. It has a fast combat, is full of good ideas and options. If your intention is to take control and destroy your enemies with powerful spells, I would say that Immortals of Aveum can guarantee good times.

Fort Solis delivers an immersive cinematic experience, enriched by exceptional voice performances, stunning graphics, and elements like audio and video that amplify the narrative. The exploration, collectibles, and gradual reveal of the plot add to the suspense, while excellent visuals and animations are highlighted, though the movement can be occasionally stalled. Even though it's relatively brief, Fort Solis offers a memorable journey into its unique universe.
