Sephonie is a game that succeeds in making non-punitive decisions for the player. What could be a frustrating experience becomes a relaxing and fun activity. However, this does not make it exempt from criticism, especially in platform sessions. The rich biodiversity draws attention for its creativity and excellent description of the species. This makes the environment more alive and rich, giving more pleasure to explore the scenarios for new living beings. Sephonie may have its problems, but it's included in the selection of those good games to pass the time.

MLB The Show 22 bets on the “don't change a winning team” motto. That's not a bad thing, as it brings a generous amount of content for online and offline fun, but the co-op glitch can cut off the potential of what had to be one of the most thought-provoking mode. As much as the lack of our language also makes it difficult to understand a series of acronyms, expressions and jargon, it is really worth giving a chance to get to know this sport better.

Aztech Forgotten Gods is a simple and straight-to-the-point title that manages to thrill throughout its journey. The dynamic of short story snippets interspersed with frantic combat is efficient to entertain and maintain a pleasant game rhythm. The controls make the first combats confusing and it takes some getting used to, but the qualities stand out throughout the story, not making the experience frustrating.

Strictly following the feat of your inspirations can prove to be a double-edged sword, but in Coromon's case, the mix of nostalgic formula with punctual additions works too well to be ignore. In the end, the reality is that the adventure through Velua may not be as bright as the sun (or its great reference), but it doesn't stop being fun. And that cannot be overlooked.

Lost Judgment - The Kaito Files stands out as an extremely welcome revisitation that introduces us to a very interesting character who, unfortunately, ends up being sidelined to the detriment of the titular main character, with an agile plot worthy of the franchise.

Undoubtedly, Aeterna Noctis is one of the best metroidvanias today. Its biggest highlight is due to the rich mythology that was created for the game, along with a gameplay that is both challenging and rewarding. A sure recommendation only for long-time veterans of the genre.

Keeping the traditional Borderlands mechanics, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands innovates enough to deliver an adventure with challenges and content to enjoy for a long time. The mixture of firearms with magic resulted in a very fun gameplay full of possibilities.

Slipstream used a well-balanced mix of dynamic gameplay and “retro HD” style to create a very competent experience. It's a delight to choose a car and just speed along the tracks, as if we're on a road trip, listening to our favorite cassette tape. If you like a good arcade game, you'll feel right at home with this title.

Valley of the Dead: MalnaZidos is one of the worst experiences I ever had with videogames. The gameplay is bad in every possible way, the story is badly told, and the bugs make the experience unbearable. The few qualities [the game has] are the cutscenes and the possibility to see different points-of-view to the story through the perspective of other characters — which is also underexplored. If you're interested in the plot, it'd be better to invest yourself into one of the other [MalnaZidos] media available.

Imp of the Sun has a friendly and even childlike face, but behind it we have a game with a satisfying level of challenge, surrounded by beautiful visuals and a great reward upon completion. It's not memorable at all, but it earns its place in the sun among today's good platform titles.

The player's encouragement to look for creative ways to solve the problems that arise along the way, along with the engaging narrative that encourages you to go to the end of the story to know how this fable will end, are the main merits of Weird West. The ramifications of the narrative are a strong stimulus for us to return to this world more often to see what else can happen, and what new surprises are waiting for us. I can't wait to see what awaits me on a new tour of this dark western.

With a unique setting and good ideas, Ghostwire: Tokyo manages to deliver an exciting, fun and very well produced adventure. Exploring the Japanese capital is a delight as we always have quests, battles and explorations to tackle and enjoy. The main story works well and offers an experience with elements of action and horror. Points such as backgrounds and lighting effects are visually impeccable, as are the game mechanics, all solid and interesting. If it weren't for the somewhat repetitive combat and modest use of terror, the game would be a strong contender for GOTY. Even so, we have an excellent and peculiar suggestion for the library of those who enjoy action and adventure games.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is just a port and nothing more, limiting itself to bringing the same source content, with one or another slight addition. That doesn't make the game bad, but at certain moments it feels like it stopped in time, especially the visuals. Still, it manages to offer good fighting mechanics, being attractive to fans of the genre and the series.

Dawn of the Monsters is undeniably fun, even if it is a bit repetitive. The charm of the “Japanese comics” in motion is irresistible, overlapping the gameplay rhythm, which drags on at certain moments. And it's always nice to control a giant and powerful creature to beat up other monsters, creating our own movie in imagination.

Syberia: The World Before is a fascinating point-and-click. With breathtaking ambient designs and a story that highlights the horrors of war and hatred, it's a title that's worth diving into. Though there are a few small issues, I believe they do not diminish the worth of this work which definitely left me intrigued to also check its predecessors.

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is a great addition to the list of numerous titles and genres already presented by the franchise over 35 years of history. The game unites mythology and gameplay in a strange way, but it works. It lives up to the reputation of Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo Games when it comes to action, delivering a product that has the responsibility to honor the franchise. Yes, it is unlike anything that has been done with the franchise and has its reasons for being a Final Fantasy game that only has its name on the cover. However, in the end, the game is audacious and it's able to leave the franchise's comfort zone.

Young Souls is an agile beat 'em up with good ideas. Combat excites with frantic confrontations and intense challenge, and good character customization options offer good strategy possibilities when fighting. Besides that, the setting impresses with its elaborate look that mixes 2D and 3D. RPG elements try to add more complexity to the journey, but the tepid execution of these concepts makes them almost irrelevant. In the end, Young Souls is fun and is a great option for those looking for a beat 'em up a little more complex.

WWE 2K22 manages to be at the same time a redemption to the franchise and a highly recommended entrypoint to anyone who wants to know more about the wrestling universe. The series finally entered the ring ready to take its rightful place on the hearts of fans, deserving a [champion] belt and Pay-Per View match.

Project_Hel is a subtle but competent expansion of the Ghostrunner universe to hold the player a little more in this electrifying gaming experience. Despite not innovating much in the mechanics, the new stages raise the level of challenge that already seemed to have reached the limit in the original game to a formidable, and stressful level.

The final product that is Babylon's Fall gives the impression that the developers gave up halfway. You know when you start something, see that the idea is impractical, silly or just plain boring to go ahead with, and then you don't care, launching it without any will? That's the impression left by the game.
