Last Epoch is not exactly a revolution within the action RPG segment, but the creation of Eleventh Hour Games gets it right by delivering a fun, engaging and, above all, accessible adventure in a genre recognized for its often frightening complexity. By giving players the freedom to conquer Eterra however they want — online, offline, alongside other players or not, including dismantling and assembling builds without any penalty for doing so — the developer proves that excellence comes after the basics are well built.

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster is a welcome homage to the 1995 classic, offering an updated experience for the fans of the saga. Though it presents notable upgrades, such as the better graphics and revised gameplay, the absence of substantial additions may leave some players wishing for more innovation. However, for those looking to revive Kyle Katarn's adventures in a distant galaxy, this remaster will definitely deliver a satisfactory journey in a relevant chapter of Star Wars's expanded universe.

Penny’s Big Breakaway is a good game but its show isn't surprising and the commands don't always flow like I'd prefer. There aren't big issues nor big qualities to highlight, making it recommended especially for people who love 3D platformers and colorful games with a cartoon feeling.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth does an excellent job at reworking the universe of one of the biggest classics in the genre. There are certain elements that deserved more polish, especially on the game's technical side, but the end result is a fantastic experience and once again a reference within its genre.

What qomp2 offers players is a range of well-structured challenges that manage to deliver a lot with little. Even though it ends quickly, it's the kind of adventure that's worth every second invested.

It is possible to have fun with Foamstars, but you need to be lucky enough to meet other players and ignore some problems. They include a poor campaign, poorly thought out menus and excessive content monetization. The qualities are there, such as good gameplay, interesting online game modes and a diversity of characters. If it survives this shaky launch and brings competent updates, it is still possible to turn the tables; otherwise, it will be like a beautiful soap bubble, which is beautiful when it appears, but quickly disappears because it cannot sustain itself.

Berserk Boy is frenetic and satisfying. Even if the challenges become repetitive, performing a well-executed combo and reaching the end of a session in perfect form is very rewarding. It is in the gameplay that the title stands out, as the graphics are not so striking. Highly recommended for fans of 2D action games and for those who miss the Zero and ZX aspects of Mega Man.

CorpoNation: The Sorting Process offers an immersive and provocative gaming experience, which confronts us with relevant questions about the sociopolitical and economic system. The intriguing plot and simple but challenging mechanics add up to a reflection on relevant themes about ultra-capitalist society.

The Mobius Machine has some well executed ideas. The exploration is fun thanks to the available skills that modify our movement considerable. Besides that, the secrets, such as secret rooms and upgrade diagrams, motivate navigating through the world, even if it doesn't take us to the final goal directly. However, the combat leaves a lot to be desired. The variety of projectiles is unappealing and do not help diversify clashes, and there's little variety to enemies — And when there is some [graphical difference], they use attack and movement patterns identical to others. Even so, I still believe it's worth recommending it to those who love challenging exploration and won't be bothered by these issues.

Top Racer Collection had a simple task: make a landmark of the racing genre accessible to everyone. But what was seen goes further, showing that the franchise's three decades of life received due care and great current resources to bring together fans of Top Gear, I mean, Top Racer, across the globe.

Leaving eroges' sexual content aside, Ego’s Spark is a visual novel about the unlikely relationship between an android and a human who are adverse to sex and now live together under the same roof. Even if the game doesn't excel in the audiovisual presentation, the art and music are adequate, offering a pleasant and fun reading.

Spiritfall takes inspiration from platform fighters to create a roguelite experience full of agility and strategy. The diversity of weapons, combined with the blessings of the spirits, provides varied gameplay that encourages the exploration of new strategies in each game. However, the feeling of repetition and the similarity between powers can, at certain times, mitigate the feeling of novelty and discovery. Despite the negative points, the game is exciting with its fast pace and great combo possibilities, which creates unpredictable and impressive battles. In the end, Spiritfall brings the electrifying action of the fighting genre to the world of roguelikes and offers an experience that is worth checking out.

Astlibra Revision and its DLC Astlibra Gaiden: The Cave of Phantom Mist offer captivating and distinct experiences to fans of action RPGs. While the main game gives us an intriguing plot and rich combat system, the DLC has an approach more focused on the battles, introducing roguelike elements that make the gameplay extremely addicting. Though there are a few qualms, it's a more than welcome addition to the genre.

Dicefolk uses and reinvents traditional concepts to create a unique adventure. There is a good variety of chimeras, skills and equipment that, when combined, allow us to develop the most varied strategies. Added to this, we have the change in perspective of turn-based combat, which makes the gameplay much more complex by requiring players to control both teams. I believe that balancing is necessary so that certain combinations are not much stronger than others, but the game is on the right track to please players looking for different turn-based combat.

Slave Zero X is a game that will depend a lot on the player's taste, and that's okay. For those who want to be challenged to achieve amazing rankings and combos using everything the combat system offers, you will have a satisfying feast for the few hours of the main mode. For those who just want a no-fuss beat 'em up, it's best to look for something different.

Ufouria the Saga 2 is a charming and funny platformer that captivates with its style. The work is relatively simple compared to some of the giants of the genre, but it is deeply fun in what it sets out to do.

In the end, Piczle Cross: Story of Seasons is a tough product to analyze. It's practically the same thing as taking a crosswords or sudoku magazine and discuss how the volume 95 is easier or harder to complete than volume 96. The ideal way to analyze a title like this — which is competent in what it offers — would be to write a purely informative review without giving it a score.

Even with some issues and a simplicity that can be a double-edged sword, this adventure title is a beautiful invitation for a reflection. Maybe Shanghai Summer isn't the answer to our problems, but it can definitely be that push to finally face our past regrets and yearnings for the future.
