Even though the quality of life features could have gone further, Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars brings two classic RPGs in great style. For those who haven't played yet and want to check out the two, it's a great opportunity to dive into the universe conceived by the late Yoshitaka Murayama.

With a modest production that adapts the 2019 series material well, Carmen Sandiego serves its young target audience well, alternating geography- and history-based investigation and simple minigames. For older audiences, however, the educational entertainment essence may have less appeal, as the simplicity in the mechanics and initial enigmas make the really good challenges show up only in the second half of the campaign.

Hazelight has nailed it once again with Split Fiction. I was hooked on the adventure from start to finish, full of fun, creative and impactful moments, all with impressive polish. Each new idea presented left me excited to continue and discover how far the game would go, always accompanied by impeccable graphics and sound. Split Fiction will stay with me for a long time, being one of those unique experiences that remind me why I love video games so much.

Knights in Tight Spaces offers a creative approach to combining tactical strategy and deckbuilding in dynamic and claustrophobic combat. The inclusion of multiple heroes expands the strategic possibilities, allowing for combination attacks and different approaches to play. However, the experience suffers from repetitive combat and problematic card balancing, limiting the variety of viable strategies. Despite an engaging combat system, the lack of diversity in challenges can make the journey predictable over time. Still, for those who enjoy strategic battles and deckbuilding mechanics, the game offers rewarding moments, especially when mastering positioning and emerging unscathed from seemingly impossible situations.

Overall, though its slip-ups are easy to notice, we still have an interesting adventure worth checking out for fans of RPG who aren't afraid of diving into a musical world that's as eccentric as it's provocative.

[...]the questionable camera, technical limitations and issues inherited from the original releases don't allow this collection to be a definitive remaster. Even so, for fans of the genre and those who want to know Lara Croft's darkest era, the collection is worth it.

Dead Dragons bases itself in classic RPG elements to offer a simple but entertaining experience. Though the title has considerable limitations in some aspects, for those who have already explored everything in the genre and are always looking for new adventures, there'll be enough content to have some good hours of fun.

Never 7 - The End of Infinity is a complicated and uncomfortable reading that's only worth it for those who love visual novels (or Kotaro Uchikoshi's works) and has an interest in the genre's history: there are good things in the end of the horribly tiring line, but up to then, it's necessary to be very patient. The mistreatment of the remasterization and localization also doesn't do any favors to the material, which is already weak at many points from the start.

Warriors: Abyss is like a tasty fast food game — nothing extraordinary, but satisfying for a quick bite. The visuals are dated, the story is unexciting, and the production clearly sought the most economical path. Still, the game captivates with the pleasure of testing different characters and builds as we progress through the underworld.

For the creativity involved and the fun it provides, Two Point Museum certainly deserves to be in the pantheon of the best simulators of all time, crowning the Two Point trilogy with what can be considered its most ambitious game to date. Inventive, relaxed and challenging, this is a title recommended both for those who are just getting to know the franchise and for those who have been following it since its inception, a few good years ago in a certain very crazy hospital. For this curious gala exhibition, let there be no doubt: the entrance fee is more than justified.

Monster Hunter Wilds represents an ambitious leap forward for the franchise, expanding its universe with a dynamic open world, innovative mechanics, and a level of immersion never before seen in the series. The introduction of the Seikret mount, the new slingshot system, and the Power Duels and Inhibitory Attack mechanics bring strategic depth to combat, making each hunt even more engaging. This new entry in Capcom’s long-running franchise delivers a rich experience, with epic combat, captivating exploration, and a breathtaking setting. Despite the technical challenges, this is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable titles in the franchise, being both an excellent entry point for newcomers and a worthy experience for veteran hunters.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is a historical recollection to the franchise's legacy in the Game Boy systems (original, Color and Advance). The game's quality can vary wildly and the first ones in the pack are very different from what the real life TCG would develop into. With such an ample history, the series has better games that also deserve such a "rescue", like the Tag Force line, and hopefully the team's efforts don't end with just this rerelease.

Sid Meier's Civilization VII offers a fresh take on the franchise, introducing innovations that make the game more accessible while keeping gameplay dynamic for extended periods of time. While some elements, such as diplomatic relations, lack variation, the strategic depth that characterizes the series and the genre remains largely intact.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 plants the seeds to yet another excellent teen drama and mystery by Don’t Nod: authentic, fun, intimate and intriguing, the title naturally navigates complex themes and teenage conversations, showing the studio's tremendous evolution. If things remain this way on Tape 2, we will definitely have a new classic of the adventure genre in our hands.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a bizarrely unique experience. Addressing many of the main concerns players had about the previous Gaiden, Ryu Ga Gotoku did an excellent job of creating a soulful adventure for what is certainly one of the most beloved characters in the fan community.

It takes a certain amount of creativity to make your management simulator stand out from the crowd in a genre that has been so badly misfired over the years. Blood Bar Tycoon even gets there in this conceptual aspect, but it proves that a cool idea alone is not enough. What was missing was a more solid execution of the proposal, which has difficulty developing amidst so many technical problems and creative decisions. It has potential and room for improvement, something that the developers are committed to putting into practice for now, but it's a little hard to consider it positively in its current state, since all of its good ideas ended up being poorly executed. How much we miss early access before the final release, huh?

METAL SUITS: Counterattack is a fun game for those looking for some casual entertainment. The armor system stands out, the dynamics of the levels are engaging in the first few hours, and the visuals are charming. The problem is that the pace doesn't keep up, with levels that drag on without bringing much new information. It's worth checking out on a good sale, especially for those who intend to play in short doses.

With great mastery in the presentation of visual and sound elements, the title delivers an immersive experience that deserves to be experienced.

After the trauma of its police counterpart, I was skeptical about what Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator could offer. To my surprise, even with the repetitive mission structure, it was quite fun to learn the different types of first aid that paramedics can provide in the most unusual situations. A little more polish in the visuals and bug fixes would make this emergency response team ready for any situation.
