Rift Riff reinvents the tower defense genre with its inventive approach. The ability to influence enemy paths creates multiple strategic options, and the wide variety of towers, monsters, and resources encourages creativity and experimentation. This freedom sometimes leads to trial-and-error situations, but fortunately, the fast-paced action minimizes the impact of this issue. These qualities, combined with the captivating setting and interesting content to explore, make Rift Riff an immersive and memorable experience.

Him, the Smile & Bloom is a competent otome game in its concept of exploring adult romantic relationships through four very different couples. The result is a great pick for fans of the genre and those who still don't know it but are interested in exploring a little of what it has to offer.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a sequel that takes what made the first game work and elevates it with visual improvements, greater freedom of exploration, and a welcome expansion of co-op. The shift to third-person, nonsensical humor, and irreverent sci-fi atmosphere maintain the franchise's charm, while new gameplay features make the experience more fluid and strategic.

Despelote is far from being a title that draws attention for its gameplay or challenge. It comes with a very different proposal for a very specific audience, but that does not diminish the credit of its experience. For those who enjoy curious excerpts from parallel realities to ours, which were previously only possible through television documentaries, you will be quite surprised by this game, even if it doesn't last long.

With a simple and pleasant audiovisual presentation and an interesting and well-developed story, Wings of Endless convinces as a retro action RPG. Although the combat suffers from long fights against unbalanced bosses and the trio of playable characters does not balance the individual relevance very well, exploration is fun and has a good atmosphere of a satisfying adventure in a fantasy world.

Ambidextro is one of those experiences that seems simple at first glance, but quickly reveals its depth. With a creative concept, precise execution and a challenging learning curve, the game offers a unique proposition that tests not only our motor coordination, but also our patience and persistence.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is the best version of one of the greatest classics in the genre. Even with some dated elements in the remaster, it remains a top-tier RPG and a true masterclass in how to properly remaster a great game. It preserves the core essence of the original while adding extra “flavor” and “crunch” in key areas.

Best Served Cold has its merits as a story, but its poorly built gameplay keeps the title from being more than a mere curiosity. More time in the fridge would have made these fine drinks ice-cold — the final product, however, highlights its flaws more than anything else.

All things considered, Days Gone Remastered is faithful to the original: despite bringing many qualities, some specific problems limit to “great” what could have been an “incredible” experience. The new features of the remaster are all positive, with highlights including the audiovisual improvements and the addition of the Horde Assault mode, even if the latter could have been better. It is a recommended title for those who never enjoyed the original game or who liked what they saw before and are ready to relive the adventure in a more modern format.

Moroi is a dark fable that puts all its weight behind narrative and atmosphere to captivate the player. While its gameplay is limited and plagued by technical issues, the strength of its story and its gothic world-building make for a memorable experience — especially for those looking for something different and willing to overlook its flaws.

Avowed is an RPG that impresses with its freedom and diverse combat strategies but falls short in technical and artistic execution, failing to live up to the 'next Elder Scrolls' expectations set by fans of the genre. With questionable art direction, shallow puzzles, linear dungeons, and inconsistent AI, the game stumbles—yet redeems itself through a robust character creator, a captivating world, memorable companions, satisfying combat, and solid playtime. Despite its flaws, it’s a fun pick for players who prioritize choice-driven exploration over deep storytelling.

Post Trauma is a solid homage to classic survival horror games, largely thanks to its puzzle design, fixed camera angles, and combat style. However, visual bugs, clunky animations, odd design choices, and poor optimization on PC end up undermining the experience.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves manages to live up to the expectations that were generated since its announcement. The gameplay is technical and dynamic, with a good balance between offensive and defensive resources, without creating unfair situations and rewarding those who can read their opponents better. The main game mode can be a bit slow, but that doesn't take away from the brilliance of the return of SNK's wolves.

Soulslinger: Envoy of Death stands out with a striking visual identity and a bold narrative proposal, creatively blending western and dark fantasy. However, this potential is partially compromised by performance issues, an unbalanced progression pace, and steep difficulty, which may put off less patient players or those unfamiliar with the roguelike genre, which may lead to eventual disinterest in the game.

StarVaders is a roguelike that stands out by combining dynamic tactical combat with a deck-building system full of possibilities. Even though it relies on familiar mechanics, the game impresses with its variety of strategies, diverse pilots and robots, and its vibrant, charismatic atmosphere. The experience also benefits from creative and well-designed battles, with enemies and challenges that require constant adaptation and encourage experimentation. Featuring a wide range of content, StarVaders is an engaging option for those who enjoy intelligent combat in a stylized universe full of personality.

Strengthening the genre of games that depart from the metroidvania structure to meet the soulslike style, Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree has more hits than misses. The energy management combat is slow and can be repetitive and somewhat clumsy, but it also has its highlights. The crafting system is bureaucratic and offers few incentives for counting on it, affecting the feeling of reward of finding items. The world is well-built and enjoyable to explore, although its biggest highlight is really the rich 2D visuals, making it one of the most beautiful in the genre and easily recommended to those who enjoy the style.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 2 doesn’t close the book on the tale of the four girls from Velvet Cove in the best of ways, but the issues with this finale don’t cancel out the narrative’s extremely high quality and certainly don’t diminish the splendor of Tape 1. Even though it’s a little dire sometimes, the sum of both parts is still one of the best adventure games of the year.

FUBUKI ～zero in on Holoearth～ HOLOLIVE ALTERNATIVE is a beautiful and short adventure that, although featuring stunning animations and pixel art, makes little use of important game design elements and offers limited appeal to players unfamiliar with the Hololive universe. Despite boasting a rich and impressive soundtrack, I hope that over time the developer takes player feedback into account and responds to the criticism.

Shadow of the Orient is nothing we haven't seen before, and its main idea is actually good, but the conversion to consoles ends up stumbling on some important points that end up discouraging players who enjoy adventures of this type. Add this to the visual issues in the HUD and we have a prospect of what could be a great adventure, but one that urgently needs fixing.

From its first impressions, Bionic Bay already brought the promise of a high-level challenge and the final delivery confirmed its competence. Each jump, death and explosion has a fundamental learning that takes us to the end of the journey and it makes up for every minute spent in its completion.
