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 some issues with difficulty adjustments, Infinity Nikki proves itself an excellent and accessible option for those looking for a fair gacha while painting the outline of a more intriguing narrative than it may seem [at first]. Exploring each corner of a beautiful fantasy land has never been so stylish!

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.

Little Big Adventure: Twinsen’s Quest was a great PC golden age era title to bring back to the current age. However, even with the care that went into the visuals, soundtrack and story, the gameplay simplification took a lot of the personality from the original game. Along with a lazy movement and other technical issues, what could have been a grand adventure ended up becoming a small reminder.

The Restless Sheep & The Lone Wolf -A Tale of Cutthroat Lovers- brings a plot of violence, action and romance in an intriguing criminal underworld ambiance in Kabukicho. The story, despite its issues in character development, offers an immersive experience with Kurashiki's shady, detailed worldbuilding standing out, and a very good portrayal of it with vibrant colors and the excellent character design. However, the game experience is hindered by questionable choices in the sex scenes. If you manage to ignore these excesses, you'll find an intriguing story and a twisted romance and, for those with the guts and the disposition to face the visual novel's negative aspects, it may offer an experience that is at the very least curious.

People who expected Ninja 1987 to be along the lines of Ninja Gaiden will end up frustrated by its softer challenge. However, if your wish is for a retro adventure with great level design alongside its retro visuals, this is an excellent choice. It's a neat title, accessible for any console or PC to enjoy with no worries.

I left Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind with mixed feelings. I played it both solo and in multiplayer, and although I had fun with my friends in a casual way, if I analyze it more critically when playing alone, its flaws start to become evident. Even though it’s beautiful and tries to excite every minute with its explosive presentation, we still don’t have the definitive Power Rangers beat ‘em up.

Loco Motive is charming at times, but the constant scars of its nature as the studio's first game prevent the experience from realizing its full potential. With a little more polish and a better balance between tragedy and comedy, Robust Games could have made something truly special, but they ended up with something frustratingly far from the finish line.

Naiad stands out for its simplicity and beauty, offering a relaxing journey through a picturesque world. Although there are moments when the flow is interrupted by obscure puzzles and repetitive activities, the game succeeds by allowing each player to find their own rhythm, whether exploring every corner or simply gliding through the water. Furthermore, Naiad shows that there is magic in simplicity, making us appreciate this brief and unpretentious journey.

MachineGames understood really well the base material to make Indiana Jones and the Great Circle not only a great game by itself, but also an extra chapter that complements the franchise history. I believe this is a very welcome entrypoint for those who don't know the doctor's escapades, and who can get its influences while experiencing a gameplay worth of the best Wolfenstein titles by the developer.

Dog Man: Mission Impawsible may be a more childish title, but it is still an interesting adventure for those who want a platform game that is not too complex and even want a gateway to get to know Dog Man and his stories. The charisma of Dav Pilkey's universe was very well translated and manages to be as funny as the books.

On Your Tail oozes charisma and life through every pore and manages to create an adventure experience that is as memorable as its developer's name suggests. Although my experience with the game has come up against several technical issues, it is an impressively high-quality, unique adventure title, and there is no doubt that any player looking for an experience of this genre should enjoy it.

[...]The Cabin Factory ends up being a somewhat bureaucratic game. Almost everything in it has a decent execution, coming from people who know what they're doing, which is enough to attract the attention of a potential player. However, it doesn't captivate its public emotionally nor does it offer immersion, as players will see themselves in a position of more rationalization about the possibilities than really delivering a distress feeling.

Thanks to the excellent audiovisual presentation, the lasting impression is that we are watching a beautiful animation created with care. It's true that Keisuke and Haruka could have had more screentime, not just leaving the story to be carried by Chika, but the final result is positive.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered is a collection that reinvigorates two cult classics from the PlayStation era, bringing them back to modern audiences. Despite their inevitable flaws, such as the absence of a crucial chapter in the series and features that could have improved the gameplay experience, the remasters shine by offering improved graphics, updated controls, and subtle improvements that respect the source material. For longtime fans, it's a great opportunity to relive the complex mythology of Nosgoth, while new players get a worthy entry into a dark and philosophical saga that continues to be relevant. In the end, this is a collection that, despite its imperfections, fulfills its most important role: keeping the legacy of a great work alive."

Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island is an extremely fun and challenging roguelike, as well as one of the most addictive titles I've ever had the pleasure of playing. With the exception of the lack of subtitles in Portuguese, which becomes a significant limitation due to often needing to read the items' [effects], and the relevance of the luck factor, which can greatly influence the journey (something inherent to the genre itself), I have no relevant reservations or negative points to point out about the game.

With the help of fans and a laudable work and dedication, Dumativa's developers alongside Cellbit managed to create not only a game that does justice to Ordem Paranormal's Universe, but also does it as a big project in the Brazilian industry.

Adapting the final arc of the series, Fairy Tail 2 brings several interesting qualities, including improvements over its predecessor. The battles are more dynamic, while the maps are larger and more interconnected. The story is very good, but it still depends on the player's prior knowledge. As for the production, there are some dated elements, even if the overall perception is pleasant. For fans of the franchise, it was certainly the title that was missing to complete the adventure of the most famous wizard guild in anime and manga. For others, this is a light and fun RPG, with an adequate level of strategy and a good amount of content.

Ballionaire reinvents the classic pachinko game by introducing triggers that allow players to influence matches in creative and chaotic ways, transforming a game of chance into a dynamic and tactical experience. With vibrant visuals and light-hearted humor, the game offers exciting moments as elaborate combinations lead to unpredictable interactions and high scores. However, the innate randomness can still be frustrating, and the lack of clarity in some item descriptions makes decisions difficult, and the limited variety of content compromises the game’s longevity. Still, Ballionaire offers a unique experience for those who enjoy experimentation and strategic chaos.
