[...]I give kudos to Love Too Easily for managing to bring the dorama universe, even if in a simple form, to games, and not restricting it[s gameplay] to choosing paths but also using minigames to illustrate the comic and tragic life of the protagonist that just wanted some love.

In the end, Divine Dynamo Flamefrit is a complementary experience that doesn't aim for the big spotlights in the indie scene, but hits the mark in what it proposes. With a beautiful visual filled with 1990's charm, it's a field day for anime and classic tokusatsu fans. The boss battles are the highlight (except for the last one), and the combat, while simple, manages to fulfill its mission.

The insistence on certain elements considered uninviting for the current moment in the gaming industry, as well as the lack of any refinement in the port's production process, means that Fantasian is unable to reach an even higher flight due to the experience offered.

Aero the Acro-Bat: Rascal Rival Revenge is the bland and melancholic end to the franchise ports. This title in particular would have been better if accompanying the original game port, as it, as an originally handheld title, doesn't offer enough features to justify buying it alone, unlike the others.

Although it lacks greater inspiration as a platform game, Symphonia is a visual delight that impresses with its art direction and the creative use of musical themes in building its world and narrative. It's like watching an orchestra perform in a theatrical play, where every visual and sound element contributes to enriching the experience. In the end, it stands out as an interesting title, deserving at least a chance if you enjoy this type of game.

Taking into account its concept, it's evident that Devil Reversi was planned to be played on the PvP mode, with all the unpredictability of its mechanics and the urgence to play within the time limit. It's not a bad game or one that lacks innovation, but playing it alone ends up becoming tiresome and dull quickly. If only its story mode had a story to tell, my impression could have been different. The way it is, I can only hope that more people end up interested in Devil Reversi and hype up the online PvP.

Rage of the Dragons NEO really is an excellent fighting game from its time, and all the work to bring it back is welcome, be it for curious individuals or genre enthusiasts. Unfortunately, the absence of crossplay is a notable absence, which makes it more fun for those who will play it alone or locally.

Brutal in both its narrative and combat, Nine Sols stands out for its aesthetic richness and for allowing harmony between game and player by allowing for meticulous difficulty adjustments, establishing a flexible experience that can be memorable depending on each player's skill and disposition, without overshadowing the numerous qualities of this exquisite work.

Sorry We're Closed is a pleasant surprise this year, just like TEVI was in the previous one. I was expecting only an unusual visual mix in a horror game but ended up enjoying the drama of the angels in love with demons, trying to get rid of a curse, and comprehend every one's view on "love". Even with some mechanic issues, I ended up satisfied with the experience and I'll be watching closely what à la mode games comes up with in the future.

Spirit Mancer is a title that mixes action, narrative and exploration in a creative way, delivering a fun and captivating experience. It stands out by presenting a vibrant world and charismatic characters along with a gameplay that, despite some limitations, is rich in strategic possibilities. For hack'n slash and coop games fans, it's an adventure worth exploring.

Impressive as a solo developer project, Codex Lost is a vast action RPG that stands out for the most intricately interconnected world design I've seen in a soulslike, a beautiful invitation for fans of exploration guided by curiosity and discovery. The artisanal aspect and the lack of polish in some areas may keep part of the public away, but, despite the limitations, genre enthusiasts will be rewarded with a wizardry experience that is worth getting to know.

Tetris Forever lovingly presents some examples of how Tetris has evolved and kept up with the early days of video games without losing relevance, even 40 years later. If you, like me, are a fan of historical records of classic games, make sure you have this collection in your collection.

Clock Tower Rewind is a brilliant example of how to revitalize a classic without losing its soul. It combines the tense atmosphere and intriguing narrative of the original with modern improvements to the gameplay and presentation. The game is both a love letter to fans of the franchise and an accessible entry point for new players who have the patience to adapt to 30-year-old design concepts.

Though [it's] fun at times, Viscera doesn't offer enough content to keep the player engaged for long. The gameplay is honest and functional, but the lack of care in the presentation, and the repetitive concept turns it quickly forgettable amidst the vast list of titles available in the market. In sum, Viscera accomplishes its basic proposal, but doesn't stand out, becoming a passing experience in the vast universe of games around us daily.

Totally Spies! - Cyber Mission manages to deliver a good adaptation of the spies cartoon in its essence, but it errs in not adding at least a small dose of action to the gameplay. Because of that, we have a good mix of stealth and puzzle, but it ends up feeling a little tiresome and dragged out.

Under more favorable circumstances, Farmagia could have been a great release. Its anime-style proposal is enjoyable, as are the basic mechanics of fighting, farming, and monster customization. It's a shame that its universe isn't well-presented enough, and there's no depth in the combats, farming, or even the production in general. This is a suggestion for fans of the anime style and/or anyone who wants a unique action RPG with good ideas, despite being relatively simple.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is an excellent new way to experience a classic RPG. The new edition brings many elements that make the experience more accessible, but, amidst so many high quality titles of the genre, it's important to keep in mind the basic nature of the journey before diving in. Generally, it's a comfortable trip down a major reference for the genre, and it's specially recommended for those who are already enamored with the classic hero journey [archetype].

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a captivating take on the Horizon universe, bringing the series’ signature adventure and combat to a world built entirely from LEGO bricks. With lighthearted humor and a charming visual approach, the game successfully balances traditional LEGO elements with the unique essence of Horizon. It’s an accessible and fun experience for fans of Aloy’s story and the machine-dominated world, as well as new players, offering a campaign that amplifies the joy of exploring this colorful and creative universe.

Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania is certainly the definitive DLC for this iconic roguelite. Packed with content based on Konami's franchise, the expansion brings a large number of new characters, with many new skills and items. In addition, we have a new stage full of interesting challenges and, above all, incredible surprises. It takes a little dedication to find these treasures — especially for new players —, but it is well worth it.

Irem Collection Volume 2 is interesting for bringing titles that would serve as inspiration for Metal Slug and that are excellent jewels by themselves, all of them with great emulation. It's a shame that the production context isn't presented to the player, leaving the curious ones to their devices in searching for info on the internet.
