Tetris Forever succeeds in its mission of delivering a compilation worthy of the legacy of one of the most influential franchises in the gaming industry. Even the small flaws, such as the lack of support for Brazilian Portuguese or certain online games and modes, are not enough to overshadow the brilliance of this virtual museum whose curators were evidently careful and attentive.

Metal Slug Tactics is an interesting addition to the Metal Slug franchise, bringing a fresh approach that mixes nostalgia with innovation. While it doesn't revolutionize the tactical strategy genre, the game offers a fun and challenging experience that lives up to the series' traditional charm and difficulty. However, performance issues and a lack of cohesion regarding information within the game ended up breaking my immersion far more often than I would have liked.

Despite its flaws, Farmagia offers a curious and enjoyable mix of farming and creature breeding. Although the farming mechanics are not as deep and are far from being as addictive as those offered by great games of the genre, the combat system proves satisfactory and the narrative manages to entertain.

FAITH: The Unholy Trinity is one of the best low-poly games (I'd even call it EXTRA low-poly) in recent times, presenting a unique graphic choice, different themes of current horror and paying homage [to other stories] but keeping its own identity. There are small issues that could be easily fixed but don't affect its quality and value. It's a slightly late treat for Halloween, but it definitely will cause fear and horror to the faint of heart.

Sonic x Shadow Generations is a pack with two jewels of the franchise, one classic and one modern. With Shadow Generations, the developers showed the ability to make the most out of Sonic Frontiers' not so polished new concepts and deliver them with more quality here, evolving the series. The franchise's future is in good hands if the next game keeps up with the content this miniadventure delivered.

Voidwrought is a competent metroidvania with great mechanics, impactful visual and exceptional artstyle. However, the game sticks too close to its inspirations, especially Hollow Knight, and ends up easier overall, in both exploration and combat.

Clock Tower: Rewind brings back a very important classic in the survival horror genre and adds interesting resources that enrich the general experience and the universe building. Despite the controls not being so intuitive, confusing the player sometimes, and the missed opportunity to include even more accessibility options, which would have made the game more inviting, this is a work worth checking out for any horror fan.

Wildermyth: Console Edition fails in its mission to properly bring the acclaimed indie RPG to the Nintendo Switch. Fans of tabletop RPGs and customizable narratives will still find fun here but the rest of the public will do better in waiting to see if the absence of support to our idiom and the critical bugs will be fixed in future updates. A shame, but if the journey teaches us anything, it's that even the worst tragedies can lead to a beautiful story in the end. I sincerely hope that's the case [for this game].

Super Mario Party Jamboree exceeds all expectations and delivers a title worthy of being considered the best Mario Party ever made. With over 100 minigames, several online and offline options, and several modes for one or more players, it's hard to find a reason not to join this party that proves that the Switch still has plenty of fuel to burn and plenty of fun to offer, even after being on the market for so long.

SINce Memories: Off the Starry Sky stands as the first coming of the Memories Off franchise to the west, but, unfortunately, it leaves something to be desired in a crucial aspect: the English localization, which severely compromises the enjoyment and understanding of the story. Maybe it's not the best way to promote this brand-new content on this side of the globe, but the product is a great recommendation for those who love a more mundane, believable and down-to-earth narrative.

With a variety of unique characters and robust unlockable system, OBAKEIDORO! turns the classic "cops and robbers" into an extremely fun multiplayer experience. It's a real shame that the title doesn't have many active players, making it necessary to be lucky to get a full room.

For those who love indies filled with good ideas, Eternights brings established formulas from various notable titles to tell a story about the end of the world with teenagers that only wanted to live their lives. There's definitely room for various improvements but this action RPG is one of the best picks for those who want a well established plot and an almost exclusive focus on character development.

Card-en-Ciel is an excellent representative of deckbuilders with roguelite elements, though it could have offered more diverse areas and has an entry barrier in the [poor] explanation of some mechanics. The result is addicting, with various synergy choices that are well conceived and interesting to explore.

Despite not reaching the high points of some of its predecessors, Ys X: Nordics is yet another thrilling action RPG that's consistent with the franchise's quality. Hopefully, the next Adol games will manage to make the most out of what was developed here and bring even more enticing journeys.

Neva is a magnificent action adventure, a true work of art. It masterfully combines contemplation and action, delivering an artistic composition and immersive and exciting narrative. Alba and Neva’s journey is captivating from start to finish, creating a special bond between the player and the characters. While certain themes may resonate more with some people than others, the reflection on the cycles of life and time is universal. Neva is stunning, beautiful, poetic and devastating.
