Water Margin: The Tale of Clouds and Wind is not the first choice for those who want to play a classic of the genre, but the curious and nostalgic will get a good piece of history when they experience this picturesque beat 'em up. Just the history of its production from three decades ago to the current release is already a good reason to understand what game lovers can do when they want.

River City Girls 2 is a great beat 'em up, which builds on the success of its predecessor, maintaining fluid gameplay, RPG elements and, above all, its irreverent and attitude-filled setting. This gives the impression that it is very similar to the previous one, which is not exactly a defect if you liked the original. Despite occasional bugs and too many loading screens, this game is still a ton of fun and is one of the best beat 'em ups released in recent times. It is highly recommended for those who like the genre and mandatory for those who enjoyed the first RCG.

Even with many similarities in relation to some simulators, Kynseed has a lot of personality to stand out among the 2022 releases. Its proposal of being a relaxing game is well executed thanks to its magnificent setting and its simple and well-mapped controls that allow the exploring and navigating between its various menus is not tiring and frustrating. Despite having some slips, it's an adventure worth playing and replaying in different ways, because from the first minutes of the game we make decisions that impact our story. It's a must-buy for fans of farm games.

Despite its clichés, as well as some excesses and pacing problems, Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker has memorable scenes and dialogue and consolidates the Hydaelyn-Zodiark arc as one of the best Final Fantasy stories in a rich mythology of existential, cultural and political issues. The title is highly recommended for Final Fantasy fans and is also more accessible and enchanting than ever for newcomers to the series.

Jitsu Squad is simply a product suitable for playing alone or with someone, for people who want something fun and with the right amount of intensity without missing on its soft, cartoonish humor. Its small issues aren't enough not to have this beat'em up in your list.

CRISIS CORE –FINAL FANTASY VII– REUNION is an excellent example of what a re-release should be, greatly improving the original game, its systems and graphics. Especially for the most dedicated fans of the seventh title of the renowned RPG franchise, it's really worth playing.

Need for Speed Unbound manages to reinvigorate a long-lived franchise that still manages to stand out, even after almost 30 years of existence. The aesthetics and atmosphere of the game refer to the golden times of NFS Underground and NFS Hot Pursuit with elements that make the experience modern and fun. It's a title that could be the starting point for a new generation of the series after many years of ups and downs.

Even though it's the brand's first entry in a new genre, Marvel’s Midnight Suns reached a respect-worthy result. With an interesting general plot and good use of the diverse elements of the famous comics brand, the game presents a fun strategic combat system with cards. It's difficult to ignore the below-average visuals but they work well in the battles and do not compromise the full package. If you're a fan of the genre, the Marvel universe or feel curious about the idea, it certainly is an excellent suggestion for your library.

Solar Ash is a 3D adventure that bets on its quick and stylish action to offer a fast-paced journey. Skating fast and solving navigation puzzles through its exotic sceneries is fascinating, especially due to the enticing creativity of its areas. Besides that, the battles against huge monsters are notable for being visually impressive. The concepts are solid and the universe is beautiful, but the execution leave [much] to be desired. The constant presence of trial and error, the erratic camera, repetitive progression and other issues hamper the experience as a whole. Overall, Solar Ash is a reasonable adventure but far from being unforgettable.

Grime: Colors of Rot is a great game and ranks above average for metroidvanias in combat and world richness. Even so, it should be noted that the high difficulty may not please everyone. The atmosphere, morbid and without great excesses, sets the mythological tone of accompanying a force that moves through a strange world to fulfill its existence. Only its curiosity is as great as its sense of destruction and both will be satiated by exploring and absorbing everything the title has to offer.

With a proposal focused on terror, The Callisto Protocol succeeds in offering a solid, scary and addictive adventure. The battles are challenging and the setting is great, leaving that constant apprehension in each new corridor and room explored. It's not an absolute masterpiece, but it's certainly one of the best recent releases in the genre and deserves a place in your library.

Despite not innovating anything in the roguelike genre, Impaler is a very honest recommendation for anyone looking for a few hours of cheap fun with minimalist graphics and a fair challenge for any player profile, be it a fan of first-person shooters, roguelikes , or even both.

A love letter to console RPGs that left a mark on the life of many players in the past, Chained Echoes succeeds in delivering an adventure worthy of the titles it pays homage to, and it can already be considered a modern classic. The charismatic characters, excellent soundtrack and enticing plot from the very start will definitely please fans of the genre looking for something new that smartly reminds them of the past. Thus, for all intents and purposes, do not let yourself be deceived: though it may seem small, this is one of the big titles of 2022.

Lil Gator Game is a serene, no-compromise adventure that turns youthful playtime into a great journey. It's engaging to explore an island full of activities: climbing, swimming, gliding and other actions allow us to go almost anywhere. Other than that, it's hard not to be captivated by the concept of playing a pretend game filled with amusing dialogue. In the end, Lil Gator Game is a great pastime, you just have to be willing to let your inner child take over.

Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef runs away from all the heavily crafted narrative of the franchise to deliver simpler, more sincere and objective fun. The commands can be a little out of the ordinary, but this is a good title to enjoy with friends.

A medieval shoot 'em up, something unusual, but which Cassiodora delivers with competence and a lot of creativity. Merits also the simple gameplay, well-planned multiplayer and skill implementation.
