With this remaster, Firefly Studios have added a competent new sheen to their most popular game, Stronghold: Crusader. This is likely to be enough for those nostalgic for the 2002 original, but the game’s aged, frustrating mechanics may be uninviting for newcomers.
One of the most colorful GBA games never released, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution is very much worth letting the half-genie out of the bottle again for.
Luto is an M.R. James ghost story in video game form; creepy, unsettling, gorgeous.
Platforming is the star of the show, but the stories 1000 Deaths tells are fun and sometimes resonant.
Salamander 3 is reason enough to get Gradius Origins, and the rest of the games on the list are also well worth sticking around for.
Pick your alma mater and get ready to grind it out in EA Sports College Football 26, the best football game this year.
Adventure game fans should absolutely not miss what The Drifter has to offer.
The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy gets a lot of things right, perhaps too many to be helped.
Primal Planet is a disappointment as its thematical material can't make up for how bad it is to play. (Review in Portuguese)
Coming from the team behind Super Mario Odyssey, Donkey Kong Bananza is pure destructive goodness. (Review in Portuguese)
Earthion has an enviable pedigree and sports tight, varied, and entertaining gameplay that make it an instant classic. And of course, its soundtrack rocks HARD.
The team behind Blasphemous has done it again! Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound offers plenty of ninja fun for players of all skill levels to enjoy.
Its easygoing nature suggests a straightforward tale, but has plenty to dig into if you’re willing to follow its many threads.
While the new additions aren’t anything to write home about, there’s still plenty to enjoy in the ironically named Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut on the Switch 2.
Clutchtime: Basketball Deckbuilder is one of the most creative takes on this style of game that I’ve seen over the last few years. I can easily imagine getting lost in it with how it smartly threw me off the notion of playing a mere card game by having it be themed around a sport that is anything but turn-based such as basketball. And still, by having it be reliant on the highs and lows of the actual sports is what makes it special. Having the potential to turn around a near-impossible win with a miraculous comeback through a combination of lucky draws and careful planning is an exciting prospect that doesn’t take much effort, while proving extremely rewarding when it all comes together.
System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster modernizes the visuals, but leaves the gameplay of this classic title unaltered.
A slow rollout of characters and decks creates a rather plain early game, but Shuffle Tactics shines once everything opens up.
Hideo Kojima is set loose in yet another post-apocalyptic delivery adventure in Death Stranding 2; it is definitely more Death Stranding, perhaps more than what was bargained for.
Regardless of how you choose to play it – be it on a controller or go old school with keyboard and mouse – Neverwinter Nights 2 proves that it’s still one of Obsidian’s best games.
Eriksholm: the Stolen Dream is an absolute joy to play, not only delivering on the gameplay department, but also on story and ambiance. Don’t let it sneak by!
