The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered succeeds in its mission to revive a cult classic stuck on the Nintendo 3DS in high definition and modern platforms. Though the remaster work has been hardly bold and does nothing concrete to mitigate the issues from the original work, the lack of ambition isn't enough to change the fact that this experimental JRPG is worth checking out for the genre's enthusiasts. So long as expectations are properly adjusted.

Yohane the Parhelion -Numazu in the Mirage- is that usual beautiful, happy and lighthearted game, ideal to finish in few runs. Though its battle system is quite simple, there's enough fun in its content to keep it a plesant adventure for most of its duration.

I can safely say that Star Wars Dark Forces Remastered was made by a team that really admires and respects the legacy of the original 1995 title. The extras and graphic updates introduced in this remaster are really welcome, but, at the end of the day, it's still little to make it an attractive offer for those who already have the classic PC version.

Penny’s Big Breakaway is an interesting game and its trailer draws attention but the actual presentation isn't as good as expected. The issues obfuscate the qualities and, for that reason, the game may not please most players, especially if you aren't used to 3D platformers. I'd wager that alternative modes with limited, decreasing time, that is, where we already know the limit from the start, would be a good alternative to intertwine with the limitless stages.

10 / 10.0 - Pentiment
Mar 9, 2024

Pentiment is an extraordinary narrative adventure that puts us in the role of two complex protagonists in a context filled with believable characters. It's impossible to go through this journey and not empathize with at least some individuals, making each choice have weight not only for those fictional people but to the player themself. In sum, it's a marvelous experience that will never leave my mind.

9 / 10.0 - Unicorn Overlord
Mar 8, 2024

Besides the overflowing charisma that's traditional to Vanillaware, Unicorn Overlord delivers an excellent and complete content for real time strategy. It's a shame that game doesn't offer Portuguese support, which may keep people who don't have much understanding in English away, and that some narrative events just happen "for the sake of progressing the story," without much development, but even with those qualms, we get an ambitious RPG that's very rich in content and worth checking out for enthusiasts of the genre.

Mediterranea Inferno is an example. Artistic, creative, with strong representativity and a reflex of what we could call the Second Lost Generation. It's tough to recommend the game due to its heavy topics and the lack of [Portuguese] translation, but even so it's a game to, at least, appreciate the design and music. There's beauty even in the hardest moments, especially for those who want to reconnect. Stay well, please.

Shiren the Wonderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island comes suddenly and takes the position of ultimate Switch Mystery Dungeon, which belonged to the previous title in the series. The new visual, small improvements to the gameplay, and dynamic way to tell parallel stories and explore alternative routes are welcome additions to a formula that has already proved it works for over 30 years. If the high difficulty and somewhat repetitive formula aren't an issue, this can be an excellent addition to your hybrid console library.

Piczle Cross: Story of Seasons blooms as an experience that harmonizes the enchanting country life with logic puzzles. The game is attractive for its visual theme that delights fans of the farm game series at the same time that it offers excellent quality of life features for puzzle lovers. However, some limitations, like the absence of events that amplify the replay value, may impact your decision of buying or not the game.

9.5 / 10.0 - Balatro
Feb 25, 2024

If you're looking for games that are easy to learn, difficult to master and practically impossible to put down, there are very few similar titles on the market like Balatro. Even with one or two mistakes, it's difficult not to recommend this game. I only advise you to be careful with your productivity if the Switch is always within reach and you like cards: suddenly just ten more minutes can turn into hours spent searching for the perfect joker, and this is not even remotely a bluff.

Looking Up I See Only A Ceiling is literally a fight against time. Short, engaging and real, it's a necessary fight for the current times.

8.5 / 10.0 - Promenade
Feb 21, 2024

Promenade has a simple, yet mysterious, story and practical gameplay that is extremely well planned and executed for what is expected from a platformer. Its developer knew how to extract the qualities of classics of the genre and combine them with the identity of its creation, resulting in a title that will probably fulfill its role for longer than normally expected from an indie, despite occasional moments of boredom, which is common even in smaller games. If you enjoy platformers and are looking for an honest and well-made experience, you can go without fear.

8 / 10.0 - Sympathy Kiss
Feb 20, 2024

Sympathy Kiss is a pleasant otome visual novel with good variety in its routes, a curious narrative about daily life as a Japanese salary woman, and great quality of life features as usual of Otomate. Though the inconsistencies of a bad attempt at a self-insert protagonist hinder the game, the work's qualities and a good English translation manage to balance out the issues and let Amasawa's story shine.

This trilogy is a testament for the new generation, proof of the legacy of one of the icons of pop culture and women empowerment. When a relic is rediscovered, it naturally has breaks and aging signs, but that doesn't make it less valuable. Lara Croft has never been more beautiful and powerful.

Evil Nun: The Broken Mask doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, and didn't have to. By not taking itself so seriously, the game manages to incorporate a humorous touch, combining tension moments caused by the relentless pursuit with laughable situations thanks to the nun's cartoonesque aspect and behavior. Among recent Feardemic horror releases that I had the chance to play, this is definitely the most consistent.

Though I consider Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection III a collection made only for the oldschool fans of the franchise[...], it's impossible to deny Edia managed to revive Yuuko's saga as promised. Unfortunately, the blunders in the emulation persist since the first collection as well as a lack of polish in the English subtitles. At least, we finally have an official localization for a title left as an exclusive to the Japanese territory for 37 years, making Collection III the last piece for those, who like me, love one of the most incredible series ever created by the already-defunct Telenet.

Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II decides to take a more experimental [gameplay] exploration instead of making the most out of what was already consolidated in its predecessors. Unfortunately, the end result is more frustrating than ideal, making this game not hit the same quality of previous titles, even with its interesting story and good audiovisual production.

Devil Inside Us: Roots of Evil is a horror game with an unusual concept, putting us in the role of a physically vulnerable individual in a situation of extreme danger and urgency. However, the creatures leave a lot to be desired when it comes to their movements, and the presence of bugs compromises the general experience, resulting in a title that, despite its potential, doesn't reach the full extent of its expectations.

8 / 10.0 - Bahnsen Knights
Jan 28, 2024

Bahnsen Knights has the hard mission of entertaining a public already used to modernity. Reader, if you didn't know about this detail, the expression Pulp Fiction is synonymous with dynamic narrative, clearly outlined characters, heroes and villains, action and drama, adventure and exoticism. We have all of this in Bahnsen Knights. The game has an interesting visual and, unlike others, an extremely captivating soundtrack and a story worthy of the pulp genre. Even though it hasn't been localized in Brazilian Portuguese, the game may be a good entrypoint for learning, as its dialogues have a rich vocabulary.

5 / 10.0 - DreadOut 2
Jan 19, 2024

DreadOut 2 draws inspiration from consolidated franchises and titles, but it ends up delivering a clumsy, tedious and monotonous experience. Unfortunately, the promising premise of exploring legends from such a different culture is undervalued in a low quality horror game. Even if we consider the average works in the genre, there are more compelling options available.
