Totally Spies! - Cyber Mission manages to deliver a good adaptation of the spies cartoon in its essence, but it errs in not adding at least a small dose of action to the gameplay. Because of that, we have a good mix of stealth and puzzle, but it ends up feeling a little tiresome and dragged out.

Under more favorable circumstances, Farmagia could have been a great release. Its anime-style proposal is enjoyable, as are the basic mechanics of fighting, farming, and monster customization. It's a shame that its universe isn't well-presented enough, and there's no depth in the combats, farming, or even the production in general. This is a suggestion for fans of the anime style and/or anyone who wants a unique action RPG with good ideas, despite being relatively simple.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is an excellent new way to experience a classic RPG. The new edition brings many elements that make the experience more accessible, but, amidst so many high quality titles of the genre, it's important to keep in mind the basic nature of the journey before diving in. Generally, it's a comfortable trip down a major reference for the genre, and it's specially recommended for those who are already enamored with the classic hero journey [archetype].

Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania is certainly the definitive DLC for this iconic roguelite. Packed with content based on Konami's franchise, the expansion brings a large number of new characters, with many new skills and items. In addition, we have a new stage full of interesting challenges and, above all, incredible surprises. It takes a little dedication to find these treasures — especially for new players —, but it is well worth it.

Irem Collection Volume 2 is interesting for bringing titles that would serve as inspiration for Metal Slug and that are excellent jewels by themselves, all of them with great emulation. It's a shame that the production context isn't presented to the player, leaving the curious ones to their devices in searching for info on the internet.

When the Light Dies knows how to combine survival, strategy and a pinch of mystery in a very immersive environment. The need to gather limited resources and constant threat of supernatural creatures keeps the player in constant tension. The concept of balancing the search for light, the combat against enemies and the sanity management offers a challenging and rewarding experience, especially for fans of roguelites.

Blazing Strike's intentions were great but various execution issues, along with the meager options and lack of any elements that could give it more replay value, make the title unappealing amidst others that offer much more at a lower cost. If it at least improved the combat and had a trophy system that made the player explore its visually varied cast, it would be a big step to accompany the artistic style that right now is the only highlight.

After some lacking titles, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 finally managed to return the FPS franchise to the place it deserves. The campaign is great, serving as a compelling adventure and a good introduction; the multiplayer brings varied and fun challenges; and Zombie Mode is immersive and filled with secrets. Overall, a great title, whether you're a fan or someone who hoped for a release with worth like the best ones in the series.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is the perfect introduction to those who wish to adventure through the unique world of Japanese drums. With a robust music selection in the base game that already means a lot of fun — and can be expanded —, the game has a ton of content to unlock. Easy to learn and accessible, it's ideal to play casually and de-stress or to liven up a party with many beats.

In the end, I believe that indeed the game is a great option for the strategy genre, especially thanks to its charisma and originality; besides that, it has a potential for expansions and, especially, updates that will turn it more balanced and varied.

Nukearts can still improve on some areas for their next works but the simplicity we find in Hidden Cats in Spooky Town is efficient and does the trick. For those who like to search for hidden objects, it will be some comfortable, relaxing fun that's enjoyable to complete.

Developing a work from intentional, inherent limitations is a beautiful creative experiment, especially when the result is as efficient and fun as Micro Mages. The 2D platform's simplicity can be too simplified for people wishing for something more elaborate, but the agility, retro challenge and four-player fun can be enough to attract people who like what they see.

Karate Survivor is a refreshing addition to the growing survival genre, bringing nostalgic elements and unique mechanics that create a unique and fun experience. The setting inspired by fighting movies from the 80s and 90s, combined with strategic and challenging gameplay, gives the game a special charm. The game stands out for its own characteristics, managing to capture the essence of survival roguelites without losing its identity. Despite some points that may not be generally pleasing, it is a sure choice for those looking for action and nostalgia in a well-executed package.

In its most polished version yet, Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition is a competent adventure through a world full of fantasy and challenges. With hack and slash style action, the journey brings several interesting puzzles and an engaging story. It's a shame that the new features, although valid, are not significant. It is a suggestion for fans of the franchise or the action and adventure genre, especially in a more classic style.

Interestingly, I still consider A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead a title that deserves to be played at some point. While it's not a bad game, it doesn't quite reach the same level of depth as other works in the genre, such as Alien: Isolation and The Last of Us. The game keeps you on the edge of your seat, but it loses steam as you go along. It could certainly be better, but it's still worth the experience.

Despite the pacing issues, The Coma 2B: Catacomb offers a fun and challenging survival horror experience, as well as an interesting story. However, due to the limited context surrounding past events, it is recommended that it only be played after the other two games in the series.

Although, at first glance, it may be considered that The Unexpected Quest has wasted its potential due to the lack of depth in the package, its features accessible to beginners in the world of RTS and the interesting art direction adopted in the game make it a good choice both for a casual time pass and for entertaining (and introducing) children and young people who have never played games of this genre.
