Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved drinks from rich fountains and perfectly understands its nutritional values, bringing its own contributions to the mystery genre and not limiting itself to merely copying what worked in the past. It is a graduation from fan to author that could have very well lost itself in fascination; thanks to its own strong beliefs, it gracefully avoids such a fate.

After a year and a half of early access, Kill It With Fire 2 finally reached the state of a definitive release, it's a sequel that managed to understand all the flaws presented by its predecessor and twist them to deliver a much more robust, interesting, and fluid product in its own right. If the first Kill It With Fire felt like a demo, its sequel is a complete experience. And it's great to see such a clear evolution for a project like this.

Anno 117: Pax Romana proves to be an excellent simulator, worthy of the rich historical period that inspires it and also of the legacy of Ubisoft's long-running franchise. The fact that not even its technical flaws are enough to prevent a wider recommendation is a testament to the quality of its systems and all the fun involved in planning, building, and managing ancient cities.

With a short but engaging interactive narrative, the four-hour campaign of The Berlin Apartment showcases a century of transformations in the namesake city. The journey through time in Berlin is seen through the windows of an apartment and reflected in the lives of the people who inhabited it. There are many details to contemplate and some creative interaction mechanics that enrich its stories, although the superficiality of others leave something to be desired.

Constance is a sleek, elegant, and emotional metroidvania that combines fluid movement, striking visuals, and a well-crafted introspective theme. Despite some hesitation in fully exploring its own ideas and occasional issues with challenges and bosses, the game offers an engaging and personal adventure. It's a great choice for those who enjoy traditional metroidvanias, artistic experiences, and narratives that reflect internal conflicts — a work that, like its protagonist, stands out precisely for trying to balance creation and chaos.

The RENNSPORT format could yield a good game in the future if further developed, as it currently appears to be in beta or early access. Proper attention to its content and some visual, sound, and AI improvements could make it a more appealing product for virtual racing fans.

Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster preserves the identity of the original while adding technical and gameplay improvements that make the journey more accessible to today's audience. Although its dated mechanics may put off players accustomed to modern shooters, Outlaws remains an important milestone for LucasArts and a valuable piece for those who appreciate the history of video games — especially classic PC gaming.

R-Type Delta: HD Boosted is an essential title for fans of shoot 'em ups, and its revamped version has made it as appealing as many current titles. However, if you're not a fan of the genre—or don't enjoy dying thousands of times in the same area full of giant fish—Delta might be a little more difficult to digest. Now, if you're willing to experience this gem from the late 1990s, you can add it to your library without hesitation.

Neon Inferno delivers exactly what it promises: fast-paced action, stylish visuals, and gameplay that blends intense gunfights with strategic moments, thanks to its shift between perspectives and projectile deflections. The bosses are memorable, the variety of situations keeps the pace engaging, and the cyberpunk setting adds the final touch. However, it remains a short and simple experience, more notable for its stylish intensity than depth. Like a modern arcade session, it offers an hour of frantic fun. While not particularly memorable, it’s a game that justifies the time spent—quick, straightforward, and full of personality.

The Namco Legendary Pack is a very important chapter in Atari's 50-year history, and this expansion treats it with the respect and care it deserves. It's another great addition to the collection's vast library of classics, and it sets a huge precedent for other companies to also bring their gems from that era to this near-perfect set.

Sektori stands out with sharp gameplay, a vibrant atmosphere, and an action pace that rarely gives a second to rest. Its strengths are clear: precise controls, creative arenas, memorable bosses, and a rhythm that rewards quick reflexes and decision-making. There are some drawbacks — such as the relatively mild impact of roguelike elements or occasional visual confusion — but they don't detract from the overall experience. Overall, it's an intense, stylish, and carefully crafted experience for those who enjoy high-difficulty games and nonstop action. Players seeking technical mastery and adrenaline-pumping matches will find a great game here; those after something lighter may face a steep but rewarding learning curve.

Morsels is a game marked by boldness and creativity, featuring charismatic characters and a world full of secrets, but it's hindered by confusing systems and excessive punishments that disrupt the flow of the experience, even alienating experienced players. While it hides interesting potential behind its eccentricities, it requires patience and persistence to be fully appreciated. With adjustments to balancing, clearer mechanics, and reduced punishments, Morsels could be much more brilliant, but as it stands, it’s a unique yet limited journey, best suited for those seeking unconventional experiences and willing to deal with its challenges.

or a Persona fan, this game might not be exactly what you’d expect. Many of its simplified mechanics and the lack of more meaningful consequences for your choices may disappoint those looking for a deeper social experience or a calendar system that demands strategic planning. Even so, it clearly demonstrates qualities that make it a game worth recommending: its narrative is intriguing, the combat is extremely well executed, and the world it presents is full of personality. It’s worth giving Demonschool a chance, especially if you’re looking for a lighter, stylish game with thoughtfully designed battles.

Maintaining the high level of quality seen in previous titles, SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide once again delivers a fun and engaging adventure. With very competent audiovisual production – especially the excellent dubbing – and really cool challenges – particularly in the platforming elements – we have one of those games that is a delight to play. Even though a few things could be better, it is still a great addition to your library, especially if you are a fan of the water-squirting yellow sponge.

Onirism presents an interesting set of ideas and has enough personality to stand out, but its execution still falls short of the concept’s potential. The combination of unbalanced difficulty and poorly structured levels undermines the experience, even with the protagonist’s solid mobility and the world’s visual charm. On the other hand, the variety of weapons and game modes brings fresh energy to the adventure, adding new dynamics to the combat. Overall, Onirism is a fun experience, but one that still needs adjustments to become truly accessible to different types of players.

Windswept is a game that proudly embraces its retro DNA, offering a challenging and personality-filled adventure.

I can easily recommend giving this game a try, especially if you enjoy narrative-driven titles like Life is Strange. Even though there are a few aspects that might hinder the experience, they’re minimal compared to everything the game does right. 1000xRESIST deserves to be experienced by as many people as possible, even more so thanks to its excellent Portuguese localization. It’s a beautiful, moving game that became a very special experience for me, so go ahead and give it a chance without hesitation.

Shroomtopia does some small flaws, but its good set of challenges has everything to please both those in a hurry and those who like to take their time, enjoying each moment of the puzzle. The aspect of creating your own level is also very well done, increasing the game's replay value while creating audience engagement, who will dedicate themselves not only to completing everything, but also to showing off their own puzzles.

Lone Fungus: Melody of Spores is a Metroidvania that packs a lot of content and secrets into a very well-planned adventure. The art direction and the brevity of the ten-hour campaign aren't impressive, but they don't detract from the elegance of this greatly designed world and the wealth of quality-of-life options it offers.
