EA SPORTS Madden NFL 26 manages to be a solid entry in the football franchise, featuring excellent mechanics and dynamic gameplay. The game modes are ideal for those who are passionate about the sport and its tactics, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to play a full season in a simpler and more direct way. Furthermore, the content depth is lost without the inclusion of our language—which is a shame, as there are many fans of the sport here in Brazil.

It's curious how many games are nothing more than deluxe remasters, yet they sell themselves as remakes, while Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is almost a brand new game from scratch, yet still has the humility to renounce the terminology. Considering it's the most solid game in the franchise in years, it's great that Marvelous is finally getting its IP right, something that helps us build anticipation for the next new title in the franchise. In the meantime, the effort spent helping the Zephyr Town bazaar regain its glory days will be worth it.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance manages to balance tradition and novelty in a convincing way. Joe Musashi's tale of revenge sets the tone for an intense journey, where agile combat and special techniques come together with well-designed levels full of secrets. The pace of the action, boss fights, and the hand-painted visual style are the standout elements, keeping the essence of the series alive while embracing modern ideas. Although it repeats enemies and stretches some stages longer than necessary, the game compensates with a variety of situations, extra modes, and a deep combat system. In the end, it's an experience that honors the Shinobi legacy and shows there’s still room for classic ninjas in today’s gaming landscape.

Boxville 2 is a charismatic, relaxing, 3 hours point-and-click adventure to fire up your brain and have fun for an afternoon. The beautiful, hand-crafted visuals and variety of puzzles are the highlights of the experience, but it fails in some quality-of-life aspects, especially the lack of chapter selection and hint system.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is more than just a remake: it's a celebration of one of the most defining chapters in video game history. By faithfully preserving the original narrative while simultaneously updating the graphics, camera, and gameplay to modern standards, Konami delivers an experience that respects the legacy and presents it in an accessible way for this new generation.

A large part of the strength that makes Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition unique comes from the foundational elements of the original game — which is by no means a drawback for the newer version. However, I believe there was a missed opportunity to elevate the classic to a technical level worthy of a 2025 title, without necessarily losing its identity. In the end, the project fails to innovate in key areas, but succeeds in presenting a great game to a new audience.

Herdling delights when its setting and music come together to convey calm and freedom in a unique journey of herding creatures, but these strengths do not sustain the experience. The gameplay is shallow and lacking in variety, with simplistic obstacles and puzzles that hinder rather than add value. The focus is on atmosphere and emotions, yet the lack of significant narrative elements and the weak connection with the Calicorns make it hard to engage. In the end, the game offers beautiful landscapes and memorable moments, but without the depth needed to make the journey truly unforgettable.

Sengoku Dynasty transports players to feudal Japan with a compelling mix of survival, management, building, and RPG elements. However, its potential is held back by technical issues that worsen as the village grows. Despite these shortcomings, the core design ideas are compelling and can lead to a satisfying rhythm once the various mechanics connect. For console players, it's a worthwhile option, though unpolished at the moment.

Mafia: The Old Country is an experience that stands out more for its narrative than for its gameplay. Hangar 13 delivers an engaging, detailed, and emotionally charged narrative that keeps the essence of the franchise alive.

Abyssus delivers competent combat and plenty of customization options that can lead to exciting moments, especially in co-op play. However, the repetitive level design and technical issues weigh it down, making for a fun experience that is unlikely to stand out among the genre’s big names.

Gradius Origins honors one of Konami's flagship franchises, demonstrating its importance to the genre and revealing a title that was previously considered a myth. Furthermore, the work done to make all titles accessible and preserve their original structure makes this collection a treasure for shoot 'em up fans of all ages.

Catto’s Post Office is not one of those works that will live in your brain for months. At most, it will grant you a fun afternoon and a chuckle or two — and that’s all it needs to do. Its lack of substance isn’t exactly a point against it, but those who enjoy complex narratives and intricate gameplay may need to seek a different game.

Viewed only as a puzzler, Mind Over Magnet is casual, fun, enjoyable, and polished — but don't expect it to be memorable, surprising or even long. Those qualities will only be appreciated by those interested in seeing the game from the perspective of a solo developer's project tracing winding paths of learning, and problem-solving. This is the audience that will benefit most from exploring the game along with the creator's commentary contained in it, and the videos that portrayed the three-year development process.

Is This Seat Taken? is an interesting and competent logic puzzle that revolves around trying to respect the wishes of every individual that shares the same collective space. Though the game still feels like it doesn't live up to the potential to do something even more interesting with its concept, the result is satisfactory for those looking for a casual, non-committal puzzle.

KANADE is a visual novel that manages to reach its goal masterfully. It's a simple romance work, but it explores the concept of first love with honesty in a curious setting that could be considered post-apocalyptic.

With beautiful visual presentation and exemplary pixel art, 9 Years of Shadows doesn't quite achieve the same level of refinement in its gameplay and story. Some boss fights are truly fun and challenging, but the rest falls into the realm of average quality. This is a game I would recommend to anyone looking to indulge in the aesthetic beauty of sophisticated pixel art, as that's where it truly excels.

Time Flies is a humorous, existentialist philosophical exercise that has us flying like flies, trying to make the most of our short lives. Each time, we have just over a minute to explore the areas, find points of interaction, and decipher simple and creative tasks, until we manage to complete them all in a single, ephemeral race against the clock. It's a game I wish would last longer, reflecting the bittersweet truth of each person's journey: it may be good, but it's also brief.

With a timeless look, a memorable soundtrack, and gameplay that encourages repeated attempts, Earthion stands out as one of the best ’90s-style shoot ’em ups, as well as a curious contemporary highlight created for a console nearly 40 years old.

Achilles: Survivor establishes itself as a survival roguelike that respects the genre's roots while also offering unique elements to set it apart. The use of Greek mythology, the structure-building mechanics, and the rewarding progression system give the game a unique edge that keeps players engaged for hours.
