After a long wait, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League finally came out, bringing an excellent story, competent audiovisual production, and solid gameplay. The issue is that the short campaign is followed by repetitive challenges and the game's mechanics are relatively simple. The experience is worth it for fans of the looter shooter genre and the DC universe but only with updates and relevant new additions will it be a good recommendation for the general public.

Ultros is an adventure of contrasts, in which its innovations shine against the backdrop of its executional flaws. The game stands out for its extravagant atmosphere, creating a unique experience that, despite its problems, is still worth exploring for fans of the genre looking for something out of the ordinary. Full appreciation of the game requires a willingness to experiment, explore, and sometimes tolerate its less refined elements.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the extension of its own protagonist. It's a unique game that manages to swim against all the odds of a rigged industry and still deliver a brilliant experience. It's one of those occasions when it's necessary to drop that tired cliché and say that it's a product that reminds us why we love video games.

The Tekken franchise has always had a strong presence among other fighting games, whether due to its cohesive story or its characteristic gameplay. What Tekken 8 did was maximize the experience provided to players to a level of excellence that steals the spotlight from Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1 with perfect execution and exquisite delivery.

Boxes: Lost Fragments proves to be an immersive experience for puzzle lovers, providing moments of wonder at the creativity unfolded in each stage of the game. The combination of intriguing puzzles, captivating visual presentations and constant challenge keeps players immersed in a mysterious plot full of surprises. Despite some areas in which the creative whimsy may seem monotonous and the soundtrack is more discreet, the overall experience offered by the BigLoop Studios game is positive, providing satisfaction and that pleasant feeling when overcoming challenges.

The Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection has two titles that had the opposite trajectory of old ports, and both are pretty fun. If they had been released back in the 8-bit classic era, they wouldn't be beneath [the other classics] and people would definitely dispute it in the rental shops during the weekends.

Omurice Next Time is a simple but competent work. By representing the microcosm of a couple with no big ambitions, Griffin Cyan gives us a very comfortable and fun slice-of-life. For anyone interested in a dose of cuteness and warmth, this is an easy recommendation.

In Phantom Abyss, the search for relics in mysterious ruins offers a captivating experience, but not without challenges. The intriguing gameplay and asynchronous multiplayer add interesting layers to the narrative, even if it is quite simple and not very standout, while progression through the Abyss and Adventure modes provides a welcome variety that can please different player profiles. However, some limitations, such as layout reproduction, steep difficulty curve, and unobtrusive soundtrack, may impact player complexity. Quirky iconography, while it contributes to a unique atmosphere, can require an additional learning curve. A contained but still interesting adventure.

After an apparently troubled development, Granblue Fantasy: Relink reveals itself to be a pleasant surprise. Though it may play too safe for certain aspects, it manages to sneak into success amidst the genre colossi. This feat comes by imprinting a unique quality, mixing solo campaign with a usual style for multiplayer RPGs. Thus, the game makes a fluid transition like a humble invitation for the more traditionalist player, showcasing how this mode can be very fun.

Recently out of Early Access, Oblivion Override mixes robots, action, and a lot of speed in an excellent roguelike. By respecting its influences and understanding what makes them special, the debut work of studio Humble Mill sticks the landing and deserves recognition by fans of the genre. Be it on the third or the 20th match, there's certainly more than a single reason to don the armor and return to Crimson's mission.

HELLCARD has evolved a lot by improving what it had presented at the beginning of its Early Access period. The combat, although simple, provides the necessary tools to entertain and encourage the player to develop the most varied strategies, such as heroes with different classes, many cards, artifacts and the random arrangement of events throughout the game. However, the common problems of roguelikes are still present, such as continuous repetition due to the difficulty, the slow unlocking of interesting new features and an extra mode that, although good, becomes monotonous if you don't have company to play with. Despite this, Hellcard is still a good option if you like challenging games or enjoyed Book of Demons.

Persona 3 Reload stands out as an example of how to modernize a classic, remaining faithful to the original while introducing significant innovations, such as revamped visuals, additional events and new mechanics. However, some concepts remain in the past, such as repetitive dungeon exploration. With its strengths far outweighing its flaws, the game is a recommended experience for both longtime fans and newcomers to the Persona series.

Even though Touhou Luna Nights is not that new in the eyes of players, it is always worth celebrating the arrival of a good title on all platforms. To enjoy this game, you just need to dedicate a few sincere hours, and you don't even need to have in-depth knowledge of the entire Touhou Project's complex narrative to enjoy the environment and characters.

El Paso, Elsewhere is a melancholic journey about modern relationships, when they go wrong, and how we cling to a life that no longer exists. It's about facing the demons (literally) and finding a way to make the scars go away. It's also a video game, and you don't forget that at any point, with monsters, lots of shooting and an arsenal of weapons to destroy any threat in your path, with lots of style and slow motion.

Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magics takes advantage of simple gameplay to create a fun game that's great for relaxing. Its concept of searching for hidden items in scenarios is not new, but it is well executed by bringing colorful, well-animated maps with a certain level of interaction, even if it is not ideal. Its creation mode is an excellent complement to improve the experience, as the campaign can be finished in a few hours. Even with some small limitations, Myths & Magics is an excellent recommendation for anyone looking for a pastime to relax.

Lil’ Guardsman’s witty humor and laid-back style make an investigation and puzzle title fun and leave the player eager to receive the next decree and continue with their interrogations, which could decide the future of Sprawl. Even without subtitles in Portuguese, it is a great recommendation for those who want a challenge to complete without rushing while having a lot of laughs.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered is very worth it, including from a financial point of view. After all, this is the improved version of a winner of more than 300 Game of the Year awards, with a great (albeit controversial) plot, top-notch production and even better gameplay. The discount for owners of a copy for PS4 is valid and serves as an incentive to return to the game.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy may not be the high point of the series so far, but it is a great representative of its charisma and a very important part of its story, adding curious mechanical elements to the lawyers' experience. With quality of life elements and extras from the Museum, the story of Apollo, Phoenix and Athena features captivating characters in bizarre cases and is much easier to enjoy in the new collection.

Having The Rumble Fish + available is good for those who always wanted to sate their curiosity but weren't willing to explore emulators. Even so, for our current era, it ends up feeling tasteless compared to the many options available. At least the low cost is a incentive for the enthusiasts and genre fans to acquire it without feeling guilty about it.

The Cub was developed in a unique way, in which it works like a platform game, a storybook or an animation, in which each chapter is an isolated story. It was created to convey a message and it manages to do so with flying colors, respecting all its references, but without using them as a crutch and creating a very rich and touching experience.
