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.

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.

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.

Geometry Survivor offers a gaming experience centered on addictive gameplay, typical of bullet heaven-style survival roguelites. However, the game leaves something to be desired by prioritizing aesthetics and presentation to the detriment of content that could add more value to the product as a whole. Despite its flaws, it is still able to capture players' attention with its challenging gameplay and unique aesthetics.

Though it presents some excesses in fanservice and a really simple dungeon design, Dungeon Travelers: To Heart 2 in Another World is a very fun RPG, especially when it comes to combat and party customization. With a diversified cast of characters and content variety to explore in different strategies and parties, this title offers a pleasant play time.

Lords of Exile offers an exciting journey through its world made up of a mix of gothic and medieval, combining nostalgic elements with agile and rewarding gameplay. With a well-crafted retro aesthetic and an exceptional soundtrack, the game captivates players looking for an authentic experience inspired by the era of 8-bit and 16-bit consoles. It's the kind of game that would be worth that weekend cartridge rental.

For better or worse, Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] preserves the series identity with subtle upgrades that impact the gameplay positively. It's little for a wait of over a decade but there's no denying it's an excellent 2D fighter in the market.

Promenade was an enjoyable ride from start to finish, keeping me hooked until I finally managed to find all of the many cogs. The caveats are minimal, overshadowed by the excellent execution that provides so much content for the fun and engagement of different ages and abilities.

With a charismatic voice cast, vast upgrade system and a fascinating mysterious world, Pacific Drive is an experience that is unique in every aspect. I personally have never played anything like it. Similar yes, but like this experience, never. The idea of creating a game based on roadtrip films with a mystery and horror aspect, combining elements of survival and crafting was an assertive choice. The debut of Ironwood Studios is a great success and made me extremely curious about the developer's future works.

KONOSUBA - God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! Love For These Clothes Of Desire! is a fun combo of routine simulator and visual novel. Making the most out of the characters' charisma and the series' type of humor, the title manages to be an excellent pick in the genre.
