Rytmos is an engaging and curious musical experience. The puzzles, which require manipulating lines to create paths passing through speakers, are interesting and full of creative elements. The setting, which explores unusual musical genres, enchants with the use of vibrant colors, a soundtrack with several layers and historical explanations about each sound style. The problem is that everything is too simple, leaving the feeling that the game could go further in its proposal. Overall, it's great to delve into Rytmos' brief and elaborate musical universe.

The duo's adventure in Clive 'N' Wrench should please both the generation that loved the golden age of 3D platform games and their children who enjoy a good mascot game.

The gods are pleased with the return of this work.

Grim Guardians: Demon Purge mixes classic elements with modern concepts in a great adventure. The idea of alternating between the two heroines with distinct skills is explored in the stages with a good variety of situations and the balance of linear areas and exploration bits is well-dosed. Some decisions are annoying, such as being unable to access the map freely but the charismatic atmosphere and good audiovisual elements compensate the issues. In the end, those who like good platforming adventures will appreciate Grim Guardians.

A remake of a never-released prototype might seem overly ambitious, but Akka Arrh certainly lives up to the mystery of its source. It may even be too simplistic for today's players, used to more elements and options, but here's a game that deserves to be known, especially by fans of Atari's legacy.

Deliver Us Mars tries to improve on everything its predecessor did that was interesting, but perhaps it tried to do too much at the same time. The narrative is very good and dense, but the various performance problems are perhaps just not a nuisance for those who really enjoyed Deliver Us The Moon.

Brave’s Rage is a noteworthy roguelike due to the variety of cards and skills we can combine in our matches. The traditional repetition of the genre is alleviated by the frequent addition of heroes and the adventure's condition changes. However, some card and item choices can compromise the experience significantly making it less appealing to the players.

Blanc is a great pick for those who want a simple, casual, fast play with a friend in a captivating story. However, even though it's an interesting co-op experience, technical limitations may leave an unpleasant experience due to small details that can make playing it online less attractive.

BETA-SIXDOUZE manages to dive deeper into what Nanahoshi Dentou and Liar-soft had in mind in ALPHA-NIGHTHAWK, consolidating STX-SF as a series that's really worth giving a try. Though there are a few negative elements, it's an easy recommendation to anyone who loves a good futuristic story.

Wanted: Dead had a great team and the idea of mixing two action types so distinct was propitious, but unfortunately the game came with many gameplay issues. Besides that, it's inconceivable that the final visual quality is so far from the one shown on the trailers.

Overall, Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society refines the ideas of its predecessor, creating a dungeon RPG experience worth knowing for any person interested in the genre. There is a lot of maleability in the creation of big, plural teams, as well as special powers that fundamentally change the player's relationship with the labyrinth despite the occasional feeling of restriction as we unlock essential actions through story events that seem formulaically distributed rather than organic parts of progressing through them.

Despite the very low points of its narrative and the mediocrity of several aspects of gameplay, setting and optimization, Forspoken brings some unique concepts for costume and architecture, as well as a diverse and fresh female cast to the video game market, with dynamic and fluid combat that takes place in a practical and juicy way. The title is recommended, with some caveats, for anyone looking for a more casual action RPG experience with some different and feminine artistic inspirations.

SEASON: A Letter to the Future is a gentle, meditative journey through a changing world. On board a bicycle, we are invited to record stories and places through photos, audio recordings and notes, which are compiled in a customizable diary. In addition, biking at random is a pleasant activity, mainly because of the beautiful locations and the open progression. Memories, melancholy and changes are some of the themes explored in the course of the plot, which is soft and bittersweet. Much of the world building is done indirectly, which encourages us to explore to get to know it better, but an abrupt end and underdeveloped elements hinder the experience a little. In the end, it's worth getting lost in SEASON's immersive universe.

Although it slips on some technical issues and the repetition makes it seem longer than necessary, the balance of Dead Space is quite attractive: immersive atmosphere, sinister story, detailed graphics, intense action and many scares raise the quality of the experience for anyone who wants to revisit the game or experience it for the first time.

Although the repetitive and simplistic dungeon crawler level design and plot development left a little to be desired in terms of the potential of its concepts, Persona 3 was revolutionary for its series and remains especially interesting in atmosphere and in narrative concepts. Despite considerable visual limitations, Persona 3 Portable is the best version of the game, due to gameplay and quality of life improvements, as well as new content in the female route. The title is a must for Persona fans and, with some caveats, it is also recommended for anyone who is generally looking for a JRPG with social simulation and dark themes.

OddBallers delivers a very fun multiplayer experience thanks to a humorous art direction and a simple gameplay that can be fun for every kind of player. A big issue is that Ubisoft showed a horrible distribution work, applying an univiting price to an experience that would have fit perfectly the free-to-play [method], launching a fun game that's already abandoned. A shame.

More than 10 years after its original release, Persona 4 Golden is finally available for modern consoles. Its qualities include an engaging investigation story, fun characters, several interesting side quests and challenging battles. Certainly, the ideal would be for it to present improvements over the original, but still, what we have available is worthy of the best JRPGs and a must-have in your library.

WHALIEN - Unexpected Guests has a proposal that may not please the most demanding players. It's a short game with simple and creative challenges, but it suffers from boring and problematic platforming sections. The physics-based puzzles are the highlight of the title and the characters and settings help make them more attractive. Overall, it's a good recommendation for kids who are starting to venture into the gaming world.
