Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo rebounds onto the scene with plenty of charm and clever gameplay, much like the games that came before it.
Mario Kart World is not only a great first-party launch game for the Switch 2, but it’s also one of the best entries in the franchise to date.
So far, The Alters is the most compelling and intriguing game I’ve played this year.
An entirely new area, exciting weapons, horrible monsters, and some fantastic boss fights make Lies of P: Overture a must-buy.
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!
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.
The team behind Blasphemous has done it again! Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound offers plenty of ninja fun for players of all skill levels to enjoy.
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.
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.
Casebook 1899 – The Leipzig Murders is nicely paced and atmospheric German point-and-click.
If at this point you’re still in doubt about whether or not it’s worth picking Hades 2 up, go ahead and do this experiment: play the first game if you haven’t, as it’s often on sale, and if you come close to liking it, imagine a sequel that builds upon and improves just about everything about it. That’s Hades 2, without exaggeration. And that’s not to belittle what came before it as that was already an easy top game of the decade contender on its own. It’s just that the new one is a study case on how to bring about a sequel, which for Supergiant Games is a two-edged sword: how will they be able to top this? Should they try? For someone who has been playing their releases for years at this point, I’m curious to see what their answer will be. Until that time comes, there’s plenty of Hades 2 to dig into, so if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some abominations to slaughter and upgrades to sink some currency into…
There’s no better time to jump into The Legend of Heroes than now as Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, as the name suggests, is a reinvention of its opening story. And what an excellent remake it is!
Witness one of videogames' most epic stories for the first time or relive it in glorious form with Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles. (Review in Portuguese for Entertainium Brasil)
Along with a host of improvements, this new version of Kirby and the Forgotten Land brings some new challenging content to boot. (Review in Portuguese for Entertainium Brasil)
Europa Universalis V’s rich historical simulation is second to none.
Koei Tecmo have gone the extra mile in delivering the most ambicious and positively delicious soulslike with Nioh 3. (Review written in Portuguese for Entertainium Brasil)
Monster Train 2 is a quick to get into roguelike deck builder that plays into the tired genre’s strengths and still manages to provide a worthwhile time for those who buy into it.
Haneda Girl is an electrifyingly fun action platformer with a fantastic aesthetic and a bashing soundtrack.
Roadcraft is at its best when careful use of several different vehicles has big effects on these beautiful, dynamic environments. On the early map “Sunken”, this comes when – after a sequence of tasks are completed – two flooded quarries are drained using new pumps the player has installed. As the water drains away, a new landscape is revealed, along with valuable items that can be sold for profit and the tantalising promise of new challenges ahead. If Saber can deliver these moments consistently, Roadcraft could be a valued fixture of the sim landscape for years to come.
Date Everything! is silly, lighthearted and full of joie de vivre. Miss this date at your peril.
