With its high points outweighing its low points, Primal Planet sets the platforming action in the harsh survival of a Stone Age populated by dinosaurs and invaded by alien ships. The mid-campaign, with its narrative emptiness and trivialization of some mechanics, gradually loses the emotional strength and gameplay dynamic of the beginning, which is compounded by the poorly functional mapping. However, those who enjoy facing dinosaurs and exploring the corners of dangerous, interconnected 2D worlds will have reason enough to venture into this prehistoric world.

Monument Valley 3 captivates with its stunning art direction, dreamlike settings, and an accessible design that invites contemplation. Noor's journey is engaging and filled with creative puzzles, though simpler and more predictable compared to previous titles. While it introduces new ideas, such as boat navigation, the game doesn't take many risks in terms of innovation and variety. With a brief campaign and linear solutions, the experience is welcoming, but it leaves the impression that it could have gone further in terms of depth and challenge.

Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact has potential in its gameplay, and it's possible to have fun with the freedom of its combo system and how distinct the characters are from one another. However, fighting games need an exciting presentation to keep players engaged. Add to that the technical issues, lack of content, limited character roster, problematic online, and the extremely high price, and we end up with one of the most disappointing fighting games of this generation.

Two Point Museum: Fantasy Finds is a very welcome addition to Two Point Studios' latest simulator. Despite the considerable increase in difficulty, the new approach to expeditions adds significant value to the experience, going beyond a simple visual content pack. A better balance between the cost of expeditions and museum maintenance would be appreciated, but with some planning and patience, any player can enjoy the best this expansion has to offer.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is an excellent game that continues the legacy of the previous remake: revitalizing the franchise. The vast roster of skaters, the freedom to create their own creations, and the sheer number of challenges promise many hours of gameplay for a wide range of audiences. However, omitting most of the original soundtrack and preserving THPS4's mission structure, in addition to removing classic stages, really ends up being a heavy negative point.

While boss battles offer more exhilarating and challenging moments, the lack of greater refinement in its core systems, coupled with the absence of activities beyond battling and collecting chests, prevents Konami's title from truly standing out in an already saturated genre. For those unfamiliar with the original universe, the game might also not be the best entry point, as the fast-paced narrative makes emotional involvement with the characters difficult. Nevertheless, dedicated fans of Hiro Mashima's work and players seeking a simple adventure that follows some of the anime's main events will find an enjoyable journey here, albeit a lukewarm one in several aspects.

Toni Island Adventure takes us back to the 1990s in a nostalgic and charming journey. With a lighthearted and humorous story, charismatic characters, and functional combat, Toni’s adventure across Salamino Island is an excellent way to relive the experience of classic games. More than just drawing inspiration from the past, it fully embraces the limitations and charm of the Game Boy, delivering an authentic experience that faithfully rekindles the memories of those who grew up in that era.

Fretless: Wrath of Riffson successfully blends RPG elements with musical gameplay, creating a unique and immersive experience. Players follow Rob, a young musician competing in a Battle of the Bands against the villainous Super Metal Records. The game features innovative, rhythmic card-based combat inspired by titles like Slay the Spire and Guitar Hero. Visually, it excels with detailed pixel art and fluid animations, accompanied by an outstanding soundtrack. Despite minor issues such as the lack of a New Game Plus mode and an initial slow progression, the game is highly engaging and creatively designed, offering depth and accessibility to both music enthusiasts and RPG fans alike.

Wheel World is one of those experiences that embraces the player with its lighthearted atmosphere, friendly visuals, and welcoming soundtrack. While it's not a game that relies on major twists or complex challenges, it knows exactly what it wants to deliver: an uncomplicated, fun, and engaging adventure, with a healthy dose of exploration, customization, and naturally evolving racing mechanics.

Hell Clock is one of the most remarkable projects in the Brazilian indie scene in 2025, not only for its quality as a game, but for the pride it carries in portraying a brutal and underexplored slice of Brazilian history. It skillfully combines challenging gameplay, a rich setting, and a strong cultural identity, delivering a unique, immersive, and necessary experience.

The low-resolution textures don't detract from the sheer beauty of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Being a proud Souls-like game, it offers challenging combat — with unpleasant difficulty spikes — and exploration through interconnected environments, but character progression goes beyond the genre's formula, featuring a large skill tree that centralizes the various aspects of evolution and can be redefined at will to modify your approach and experiment with different builds.

PATAPON 1+2 REPLAY is a duo that enchants with its theme and addictive gameplay. Even with the somewhat exhausting need to repeat tasks to get better items, the dancing creatures offer many hours of rhythmic challenges that greatly justify their original success on the PSP.

Somber Echoes pleasantly surprised me with its beautifully crafted visuals, the rewarding exploration deepened by its detailed mapping system, and the very effective ability to propel Adrestia into the air in any direction, acquired early on. Combat could be better implemented, especially with more interesting enemies and more monstrous boss fights, so those focused on this aspect of side-scrolling action will likely find it less satisfying than those more interested in exploring a beautiful, well-structured world.

Word Play doesn’t need much to entertain — and it does masterfully, proving that all the hours its developer spent researching game design did not go to waste. A solid basis and a good ear for fan suggestions are ingredients that will, for sure, make this one of the great casual roguelikes of the decade.

Combining two different themes that complement each other well, Gaucho and the Grassland is a Brazilian game worthy of praise. While on the one hand we need to take care of crops, animals, and farms, on the other we have to help friends and take care of a mystical world. The gameplay is simple and fun, with a production full of charisma, filled with references to Brazilian culture, particularly to the gaucha one. In short, a great and neighborly game that's a must-have for your library.

The Drifter exudes respect and passion for its inspirations, from pulp magazines to the point-and-click genre itself, while simultaneously establishing its own identity by combining these elements with unparalleled success. With an engaging, precisely paced narrative and a well-crafted noir atmosphere, the game proves to be not only an intriguing experience, but also an accessible and fluid one. Knowing how to work with its influences, it understands the value of conciseness, both in progression and design, and, like its drifting protagonist, it never allows itself to stagnate, leading the player through a memorable mystery of death, paranoia, and acceptance.

The best thing about Shadow Labyrinth is the unusual idea of transforming Pac-Man into a metroidvania and also a minigame that reinvents the classic format we know. The adaptation in itself is successful and the execution delivered a competent game, but one that lacks relevant highlights that make it above average in the genre, marred by unnecessarily long areas and low-quality visuals.
