Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo delivers a creative and charming experience, blending clever puzzles, rewarding exploration, and a versatile combat system. The inventive use of the yoyo as both a weapon and a tool keeps gameplay dynamic, while the world of New Jolt City — with its charismatic characters, cultural references, and retro aesthetic — builds a unique and memorable universe. Despite a few rough edges, the game stands out for its originality and the relaxed, playful way it tells its story.

Pirates VR: Jolly Roger offers a colorful and charming slice of pirate fantasy with lush environments, light puzzle-solving, and rewarding exploration, but its shallow combat, technical inconsistencies, and short runtime keep it from fully delivering on its potential; while enjoyable for a brief escape into a swashbuckling world, the lack of mechanical depth and polish makes it feel more like a playful VR detour than a truly immersive adventure built for the medium.

Although Taiwan has established itself as a relevant creative hub in the Asian gaming industry, Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade seems to be failing to keep up with this evolution. With its repetitive structures, lack of gameplay diversity and abscence of difficulty, the game seems to be a product that corroborates the mistaken view that the most prejudiced players have of this market rather than actually doing justice to its current state of development. It's a superficial attempt to jump on the Hades bandwagon, as if the audience were not capable of discerning the quality of this derivative production in relation to that of the source material.

Capcom delivered another successful remaster. Although Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is the least beloved of the original trilogy, it remains a major classic of the sixth console generation and one of the most ambitious titles of its time. With quality-of-life improvements and a beautiful adaptation of its pre-rendered backgrounds to HD, this is the definitive version of Jubei Yagyu's revenge.

Monster Train 2 is a solid sequel that expands on the original’s mechanics with new features like equipment cards, train cores, and extra game modes, adding tactical variety without overhauling the core formula. The combat remains engaging and strategic, emphasizing card management, positioning, and synergies. However, the game’s steep difficulty and reliance on advanced mechanics may deter casual players. While offering a robust experience for dedicated fans, it often feels more like an ambitious expansion than a true evolution of the series.

Sea of Stars: Throes of the Watchmaker is a solid expansion that brings a journey full of novelties and allows a little more nuance to the characterization of the two protagonists. Overall, the experience manages to maintain the charm and charisma of the base game and is strongly recommended for those who want to live a little more of what this universe has to offer.

Even though it's a respectable feature, don't really believe in the “adaptive difficulty” or other basic adjustments of MotoGP 25. If you're interested in the game, either dive deep into the races that simulate all the hardships and glories of real life, or invest time in the settings until you reach an appropriate balance of challenge and fun. The competent production, with beautiful visuals whether in the first or third person, and fast loading encourages the competition for championships and races. A great suggestion for lovers of high speed and who are willing to dedicate themselves to a rich and fun, but equally demanding universe.

RoadCraft may have slipped up slightly in a vital gameplay aspect, but it's undeniable that the new mission proposal, which focuses on more than just exploration, increases the range of possibilities for future games. Being able to drive heavy machinery vehicles and get your hands dirty, as well as being able to delegate an automatic fleet to perform specific transportation tasks, were key factors in diversifying the missions and avoiding the feeling of repetition of previous games.

The Precinct has a great action and narrative proposal, but it needs to fix some things. Although the repetition of missions is a bit annoying, this feeling could be softened with some improvements in the control system, both on foot and in cars, the latter mainly. Otherwise, if you like old-school police films, you will be able to enjoy this game.

Aureole – Wings of Hope offers a creative and challenging experience by combining fast-paced action with a unique mechanic centered around throwing a halo. The variety of stages, which constantly introduce new ideas, makes the experience dynamic and full of surprises. Despite its simple control system, mastering the physics requires practice, and successfully overcoming tough moments rewards the effort with great satisfaction. On the other hand, the excessive trial-and-error and high difficulty in certain sections can make the journey feel tiring. Still, Aureole delivers a solid experience for those who enjoy precision and speed and are willing to persevere until they reach perfection.

The arrival of Capcom Fighting Collection 2 sets a precedent for the amount of things that Capcom can still bring with its collections of classic fighting games. The quality of the emulations, as well as all the features and assets in the package, still maintains the bar of excellence very high. It is another excellent collection that is essential for fans of the genre.

Captain Blood would already be an average game if it had been released in its original era. The combat is unpolished, the level design is repetitive, there's constant reuse of enemies, and the ship battles aren't exciting. At the very least, the pirate aesthetic combined with the more cartoonish design gives it a charming and unique touch that still stands out even after all these years.

Rift Riff reinvents the tower defense genre with its inventive approach. The ability to influence enemy paths creates multiple strategic options, and the wide variety of towers, monsters, and resources encourages creativity and experimentation. This freedom sometimes leads to trial-and-error situations, but fortunately, the fast-paced action minimizes the impact of this issue. These qualities, combined with the captivating setting and interesting content to explore, make Rift Riff an immersive and memorable experience.

Him, the Smile & Bloom is a competent otome game in its concept of exploring adult romantic relationships through four very different couples. The result is a great pick for fans of the genre and those who still don't know it but are interested in exploring a little of what it has to offer.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a sequel that takes what made the first game work and elevates it with visual improvements, greater freedom of exploration, and a welcome expansion of co-op. The shift to third-person, nonsensical humor, and irreverent sci-fi atmosphere maintain the franchise's charm, while new gameplay features make the experience more fluid and strategic.

Despelote is far from being a title that draws attention for its gameplay or challenge. It comes with a very different proposal for a very specific audience, but that does not diminish the credit of its experience. For those who enjoy curious excerpts from parallel realities to ours, which were previously only possible through television documentaries, you will be quite surprised by this game, even if it doesn't last long.

With a simple and pleasant audiovisual presentation and an interesting and well-developed story, Wings of Endless convinces as a retro action RPG. Although the combat suffers from long fights against unbalanced bosses and the trio of playable characters does not balance the individual relevance very well, exploration is fun and has a good atmosphere of a satisfying adventure in a fantasy world.
