If you like this type of game, you've just found an essential title for your library.

Like a dream come true from the 1990s, Gimmick! 2 has beautiful, lively visuals, clever and challenging platforming, and plenty of charisma, although it doesn't try to expand the game's identity beyond the cute design of Yumetaro and his adversaries. Even though it can be frustrating due to the many instant deaths on spikes, the simple and straightforward campaign will please 2D platformers admirers.

It's always nice to see characters from a franchise in a different idea from the mainline and Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos definitely offers this. However, maybe the Hyperdimension Neptunia universe had more to offer for this title's content, at least to make it a little longer or more varied for its replay value.

It's always a good thing to see established titles coming to more platforms, especially PC. Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. not only expands the reach of Sega's iconic franchise, but also attempts to present the definitive experience for the online competitive scene, despite stumbling in matchmaking. Now, all we can do is wait for the next chapter in this saga, which promises to bring a major revolution to 3D fighting games.

In the end, Cuisineer is an interesting suggestion that manages to combine the dungeon crawling and business management genres. More than that, the game brings a competent and accessible mix, with very good production – except when it comes to loading screens – and enjoyable gameplay. Unfortunately, those who enjoy more complete experiences will find little motivation in the story and mechanics to advance. Taking care of the restaurant and getting into fights, although fun tasks at first, over time show their limitations. In any case, it is still a good option for those who want a simple, original and fun adventure.

In the end, Eternal Strands is a good game with good ideas, but it doesn't have the right structure to make the most of them, stretching its use until it becomes completely repetitive and compromising the strength of its dynamic action proposal with magic and physics. While the free-climbing exploration, the chaos of magic and the confrontation with colossal enemies offer a lot of fun, especially for those who want an action RPG that breaks away from the soulslike trend, what will make the difference in the long run of the campaign will be the involvement with the detailed world-building narrative and each player's perception of the impact of repetition when enjoying the game.

Hyper Light Breaker presents a unique concept by mixing roguelite elements with open world exploration, offering fast combat and diversified customization in a dynamic universe. Despite that, the title faces significant challenges in its early access when it comes to content variety, balancing issues, and a technical experience that still needs refinement. In sum, Hyper Light Breaker's base is promising and, if the problems are fixed, it may become a compelling and remarkable experience. For those ready to explore its developing ideas and to contribute to its evolution, the title offers a glimpse at a universe that, with time and dedication, may become truly unique.

[...]Marona's, Ash's and Apricot's adventure is yet another worthy entry in Nippon Ichi Software's catalogue and a memorable experience for fans of the company or those who like a borderline experimental touch to the tactical RPG genre.

Mark of the Deep is a title that knows how to take advantage of the best of the metroidvania and soulslike genres to create an engaging and challenging adventure. With accessible mechanics and a friendly learning curve, the game manages to balance exploration, intense combat and captivating narrative, resulting in a memorable experience. The mysterious setting, combined with the well-developed mythology, makes Rookie's journey immersive and rewarding. Despite some inconsistencies, especially in the dubbing, the game stands out as an excellent example of the potential of the Brazilian industry and can already be considered one of the best games ever developed in Brazil.

Mika and the Witch’s Mountain is an unpretentious fable about the practical and emotional value of work done for the good of a community. The message is distilled into a simple but effective form, scattered throughout every corner of the fetch quests and dialogues that form the essence of the game. There is no significant challenge, but those who want a lovely broomstick ride while exploring the small and pleasant open world of the Windy Island will have a few hours to relax and find the purpose of the little delivery witch.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth stands out as a significant reinvention of a classic, ambitiously expanding and reimagining its narrative, characters, and setting. The PC port elevates the experience with technical improvements and tweakable options, though there are still minor issues, such as a lack of support for certain technologies. Still, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a remarkable title that celebrates the legacy of the original while charting new paths. It’s an imperfect journey, but one filled with memorable moments that reaffirm the impact and relevance of this universe for fans new and old.

It's a shame that Boti: Byteland Overclocked's problems compromise the player's enjoyment. It has a great idea and a very well-crafted environment for the theme it proposes. However, it is more than necessary that corrections be made so that the little messenger robot gains the prominence it deserves.

Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age lived up to its promises, leaving nothing to be desired compared to the big names in the genre. If you like fighting games and want to try something a little more varied, it's worth giving it a chance, especially the double battles.

Tales of Graces f Remastered is a new opportunity for a great game in the franchise to reach a new audience and allows old fans to relive this jewel on current systems. Though it doesn't stand out as a remaster, with many other projects that are more competent in the market, this compete pack of the action RPG is an easy recommendation for fans of the genre.

Despite its intriguing setting and some promising ideas, Blade Chimera fails to stand out as a memorable experience. The fusion of cyberpunk and Japanese mythology creates a visually rich universe, but the repetitive combat, uninspired level design, and linear progression limit the game's potential. With a short campaign and a limited interpretation of the metroidvania genre, Blade Chimera is a reasonable platformer, but far from achieving the brilliance needed to stand out among other games of the genre.

I believe Dynasty Warriors: Origins was designed to appeal to a wider audience for the musou genre, adding an extra layer of variety to the traditional formula. For my personal taste as a fan of this style of game, I was quite pleased. The combat has more depth, the narrative is more linear and the diverse structure gives this reboot a fresh feel, moving it away from feeling like just "more of the same".

Threefold Recital is an interesting narrative experience, featuring an engaging universe inspired by Chinese mythologies. Although the repetitiveness and lack of inspiration in the interactive sessions end up hurting the pace of the adventure, it is a game worth checking out for its story.

Despite issues with difficulty settings, Infinity Nikki proves to be a great and accessible option for those looking for a fair gacha and a good open world, while painting the outlines of a more intriguing narrative than it seems. Exploring every corner of a beautiful fantasy land has never been so stylish!

Freedom Wars REMASTERED is a good example of how a good game on a handheld 11 years ago was a technological marvel with addictive gameplay, but nowadays, with the few improvements it has received, it becomes something passable. The game itself is not bad, but in this niche of group arena battles against giant enemies that demand strategy and patience, there are other better examples everywhere. In the meantime, Freedom Wars remains as an option if you are really enthusiastic about the genre.

Despite its drawbacks, Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana manages to deliver a very fun and engaging adventure. Even with some issues arising from its age, such as slightly dated visuals and relatively simple gameplay, we have here a very enjoyable experience thanks to the fast combat and good level of challenge. It is a suggestion for fans of action RPGs, especially with that more classic feel.
