Skull Horde is a unique product within a saturated genre. By combining the unpredictability of roguelikes with a genuine strategic layer, the game manages to stand out without sacrificing accessibility, giving any player the ability to jump in and understand its concept, but mastering it is another challenge.

While the original version was already fun and full of good ideas, Sigma Star Saga DX managed to make the experience even more enjoyable in modern terms. By adjusting combat, maps, and text, the (re)release is a good choice for checking out an adventure with captivating characters, cool space battles, and various surprises. The new features could have been a bit more in-depth to compensate for certain minor issues in the original game, but it's still a sufficiently interesting experience.

Minos builds an interesting foundation by reversing the traditional role and turning the labyrinth into an active defensive tool. The combination of planning, traps, and direct intervention with the Minotaur creates tense and rewarding moments, especially when strategies begin to flow naturally, while the challenging campaign and steady progression help maintain engagement despite frequent defeats. However, repetition and limited content variety become more noticeable over time, with a lack of trap diversity, predictable level structure, and some visual clarity issues weakening the pacing and diminishing the impact of its strongest ideas. In the end, Minos presents strong and intriguing concepts, but still needs more diversity and refinement to sustain its long-term potential.

With the nostalgia of childhood dreams, Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland builds a visually excellent presentation with great attention to detail. Beyond its beautiful appearance, the nonlinear world and efficient map are great invitations to explore this Metroidvania adventure, which has heavier movements than I would like, but which, overall, offers a true delight both for those who are still in childhood and for those who remember it.

The titles chosen for the MARVEL MaXimum Collection are quite interesting, ranging from the sorrowful Silver Surfer to the 16-bit Spider-Man duo and the celebrated arcade X-Men. Having them all together in one place is great; however, the weak point of this collection is precisely the gallery, which could be much richer and present the games contained within—all of which are over 30 years old—in a more convincing and detailed way for current generations.

The Occultist proves that horror doesn't need to rely on screams and gore to scare. DALOAR delivered an experience that focuses on atmosphere, narrative, and intelligent gameplay to guide the player through a journey that captivates both through curiosity and the mystery surrounding Godstone and its inhabitants.

As a gaming experience and sensory stimulation, People of Note does get to satisfy; the real issue lies in the uninteresting, overlooked and empty story the gameplay tries to sustain. To Brazilian eyes, the text gets even worse with a just as poorly done localisation to our language. Those who wish to venture into Note and meet a genuinely well-crafted RPG will have to endure several issues.

KuloNiku: Bowl Up! is quite simple and straightforward in its premise, and it delivers on what it sets out to do. The cooking mechanics are easy to grasp and engaging enough, the art is beautiful, and the characters are charming, even if they lack depth. However, the game quickly falls into a repetitive loop typical of cozy titles, with additional gameplay elements taking a while to unlock. It’s best enjoyed in short play sessions, and using a mouse is recommended for the optimal experience.

It's undeniable that Darwin's Paradox is funny and offers an interesting dynamic between land and water levels, even with sections that can be extremely frustrating, to the point of demotivating the player. However, those on PlayStation 5 should perhaps wait for a definitive solution to the crashing problem, which can even cause some kind of damage to the console.

Super Meat Boy 3D manages to be an excellent new entry for those who want to start with the franchise. The cutscenes are beautiful, there's freedom to complete the levels in any order, and the kingdoms are so frantic and fun that, even after failing countless times, the experience remains engaging.

Life is Strange: Reunion succeeds by bringing back Max and Chloe with improved chemistry and maturity, ensuring a worthy ending. The soundtrack and collectibles remain excellent. However, the arsonist mystery is weak. The game suffers from limited dialogue options, reducing replayability, and a smaller campus, limiting exploration.

Hozy is a satisfying renovation sim that perfectly captures the cozy aesthetic. While the campaign is brief and the camera can be finicky, the core loop of transforming cluttered spaces is deeply rewarding. It’s an ideal, low-pressure choice for players looking to unwind through creative decoration.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection carries over all the quirks inherent to its original platform and successfully adapts them to modern standards. Although the games show their age in some aspects, it’s hard to put the experience down once you understand how they work. With a variety of visual and audio options to satisfy both newcomers and purists, a content-rich gallery, and quality-of-life improvements, Capcom has delivered the definitive way to play this sub-series.

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance arrives at a delicate moment for the franchise. After years of silence broken by the positive reception of the remasters, fans expected a high-quality return worthy of the series — but what they received was a title that seems to underestimate the very legacy it carries in its name.

Despite lacking innovation, Last Man Sitting offers some enjoyable moments through its frenetic combat, interesting abilities, and engaging soundtrack. However, limited weapon variety and weak level design make the experience grow repetitive over time, leaving it behind other games in the genre.

Rivals of Aether II presents a very solid foundation, with fast-paced combat, a variety of characters, and mechanics that work well in both casual matches and more technical levels of play. At the same time, its almost total focus on competitive play and the lack of solo content leave important gaps, especially for those who don’t intend to commit to online play. Even so, in local matches, the experience changes completely—it’s easy to get drawn in and have fun with the chaos of the fights. In its current state, it’s a game that already delivers good moments, but still feels like it’s in the process of growing. For those who enjoy learning, testing their limits, and gradually improving, there’s a lot of value here. For others, it might be worth keeping a closer eye on its development before fully diving in.

Marathon is proof that Bungie still understands what makes an FPS special. Delivering singular technical mastery, the studio brings identity, cohesion, and, above all, a gameplay loop that hooks you in an almost inescapable way. Between its striking aesthetics, refined gunplay, and a progression system that turns even defeat into advancement, the game builds an experience that goes beyond the extraction genre and establishes itself as one of the most engaging in the current multiplayer landscape.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance – SEGA Villains Stage DLC features memorable battles against well-designed and challenging bosses, which clearly stand out within the experience. On the other hand, the stages fall short, with linear progression, limited use of Musashi’s abilities, and a timid exploration of the thematic potential of the represented worlds. In the end, it’s an expansion that works better as a challenge-focused add-on rather than an essential addition. For those seeking intense confrontations, there are some strong moments here; however, players expecting variety and more creative exploration may come away feeling it was a missed opportunity.

Crimson Desert lives up to its promise, delivering a rich open world with plenty of activities and fun combat. However, the title doesn't reach its peak because it lacks a particularly compelling protagonist and wastes the potential of other playable characters. Furthermore, the project still needs some polishing.

Despite limitations in its simulation systems, NUTMEG! A Nostalgic Deckbuilding Football Manager remains an enjoyable experience within its straightforward and simplified premise. The contrast between simulated and broadcast matches highlights its strongest ideas, particularly the deckbuilding mechanics, where the game truly excels. Overall, it works better as a casual pastime than a deep simulator, with fast progression, short seasons, and accessible systems that keep the experience light and approachable.
