In the end, Hades II is that rare sequel that expands without diluting. It respects the past without being trapped by it, preserving what truly matters. It gives us the almost tangible thrill of stepping into a room never knowing which version of ourselves will walk out. Between steel and spell, Supergiant delivers one of the year’s strongest indie titles.

NBA 2K26 regains the momentum lost with the previous title, although it still suffers from an excess of microtransactions that grant unfair advantages to those willing to pay. The other game modes, which are simpler, have become bigger, better, and more fun, leveraging the legacy that the NBA and WNBA have to offer while also making it a great showcase for their improved gameplay.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is a remake that respects the original RPG and manages to elevate the experience with its changes without forgetting its essence. It's a laudable example of how to reimagine a game, reaching an unbelievable balance between faithfulness and modernization.

Baki Hanma: Blood Arena lives up to what Baki really is. Inherently campy, a true fan will understand how the game manages to capture the essence of the IP as a huge parody. Cloning Punch-Out!! is a cool proposal, however, it relies too heavily on the player's good faith in valuing the concept over the borderline-acceptable execution. It definitely doesn't serve to introduce the series to a new audience, but at least they captured the spirit of Itagaki’s work.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree manages to combine emotion and strategy in a unique experience. Its deep narrative and the dilemmas posed by the sacrifice system give real weight to the player's decisions, while the variety of combinations between Tsurugi and Kagura keeps the combat dynamic and interesting. The evolution of the Shinju village complements the gameplay well, offering moments of respite between battles in what is one of the most remarkable experiences of the genre in 2025.

Even though the ticket hunt can become a bit repetitive, it doesn't overshadow the brilliance of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. The hedgehog's entire universe was cleverly utilized in abundance across the tracks, cars, and soundtrack in a creative and well-crafted way. This is exactly what the blue blur's fans wanted and deserved. Sonic is back in the race, and to win.

Moros Protocol is an FPS that combines fast-paced action with roguelike elements in a competent way, offering agile combat and a well-crafted, dark atmosphere. Despite its good ideas, the repetition of rooms and enemies, along with the imbalance of some weapons, limits the longevity of the experience. The game shines in intense combat moments, especially against bosses, but lacks enough variety and innovation to become truly memorable. Still, it provides an enjoyable experience for fans of fast-paced action and quick-paced exploration.

The impeccable setting brings Pharloom to life, making it a fascinating kingdom to explore, full of secrets and memorable moments. Despite this, some excesses and the punishing difficulty may turn fascination into frustration, requiring a bit of persistence. Even so, Silksong stands out as a memorable and grand experience, capable of both enchanting and challenging in equal measure.

Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a solid sequel that expands on the foundations of the previous game while exploring more contemporary approaches. The battles are fun, there are plenty of customization options for your armor, and a lot of content to explore. That said, it’s quite a repetitive game and artistically unremarkable, in addition to presenting a narrative that fails to effectively sustain its foundations. Even so, it’s an excellent experience for fans of giant robot games and similar concepts.

Metal Eden, from Reikon Games, is an ambitious FPS that stands out for its engaging combat and interesting mechanics, like the cores. However, it falters due to a superficial narrative and repetitive art direction. It’s ideal for players seeking quick fun, but may disappoint those looking for depth.

The expectative for Lost Soul Aside ended up being greater than the final product. On the one hand, we have fun and exciting combat, with a good variety of powers, items, and enemies. On the other, we have a confusing and poorly developed story, as well as its characters, who also lack charisma. Although the production's outcome is positive, it fell somewhat short, being recommended only for action-adventure fans (and those willing to bear a mediocre RPG).

Class of Heroes 3 Remaster is an RPG from another era; a game that's generous with content but demanding of patience. It's an adventure that rewards dungeon crawler fans with depth and personality, and serves as a charming entry point for newcomers.

Rally Arcade Classics manages to blend excellent qualities with somewhat annoying flaws. The competent handling, satisfactory track performance, and large amount of content are counterpoints that even overcome the heavy grinding and the subpar presentation. Ultimately, it's an interesting option for those looking for a more arcade-style rally with a touch of simulation.

Everybody's Golf Hot Shots manages to deliver a fun and, to some extent, addictive experience. Despite its dated visuals, the presentation is pleasant, with cool music and a good balance of realism. While the game could offer more support for newcomers and those less experienced, it also offers a good tutorial and well-implemented mechanics. It's a shame that the significant amount of content requires a lot of patience to access. In the long run, however, those who enjoy the games will end up enjoying everything the game has to offer, such as a leveling system that unlocks new golfers, holes, clubs, and more.

The Knightling, from Twirlbound, is a simple yet captivating game with an engaging story, fun combat, an epic soundtrack, and interesting exploration. Despite its minor flaws, its qualities outweigh the negatives. Portuguese subtitles would be a great addition in the future.

Robots at Midnight is a bold project. It aims to be a more accessible soulslike for younger audiences, and that alone is a welcome proposition. However, the execution does not match the ambition. Technical polish is lacking, frustration lingers in crucial details, and the narrative cannot carry the weight of the journey. Even so, the charm of the art style, the MITT system, and the Nightfall mechanic justify a curious look for those seeking a gentle entry point into the genre. The game does not become memorable, yet it plants a seed that could blossom in future projects.

The end result is that Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra may be addicting, making its apparently fast matches soon become hours spent in getting some more victories, but, as a game as a service, a good chunk of the experience will depend on managing it well on the long run.
