The most important thing in a game is to be fun and engaging. Onee Chanbara Origin manages to fulfill this mission with praise, delivering a dynamic and full-featured hack and slash adventure. The original style brought by the remake and its good gameplay make every fight a great experience. Although it fails on some important points, the end result is a must-have title for fans of the genre and players who enjoy a lot of action.

In general, Uppers is a beat ‘em up whose combat is quite fun, but small technical defects end up weakening the experience. It is still worth checking out for enthusiasts of the genre since the combat offers good variety and exaggerated blows, but it does not stand out in comparison to what already exists in the market.

A Tale of Paper explores the depths and meanings of human life in a subtle way through a sweet and loving story with an empathetic and passionate character who sees himself in the form of origami to present creative and original mechanics. The atmosphere and the minimalist soundtrack expands a narrative for a stunning visual Paradise. Although brief and superficial, this paper trip is still satisfying. Unfortunately the erasures exposed in its playable structure are almost incorrigible and put the title in an adverse situation. It is a simple journey, without many challenges and with problematic physics, but it has the power to bring light through the darkness.

Carto captivates with its mix of inventive puzzles and relaxing pacing. The main concept of manipulating the map to solve puzzles and tasks is quite interesting, and various situations explore it in creative ways. The challenges are accessible, but there are sections with obscure solutions or steps that hinder progress a little. The chill tone is reinforced with a colorful universe reminiscent of an illustrated book, simple text and diverse themes approached with humor, making exploration a delight. In the end, Carto is a charming and different adventure that is worth checking out.

With a well elaborated artistic set, ScourgeBringer becomes one of the best roguelites available today. It tries to slowly reward players and is ideal for those who have more patience for trial and error mechanics. After a period of early access, which certainly contributed a lot to the current polish, this game is a recommendation both for enthusiasts and newcomers to the genre.

Clearly inspired by titles like Wipeout and F-Zero, Pacer slips a little in its presentation and proposal, but it respects the history of these classics. An uncompromised title, whose main highlight is its beautiful visuals and a fast and intense action, especially in the higher categories. A title worthy of the legacy it wants to represent and that will please fans of the genre.

The Survivalists has its merits. The adventure has good ideas and manages to provide good moments (especially in multiplayer), but veteran players will soon realize that there is a lack of content after a few hours, and the absence of a more robust challenge unfortunately can also result in a tranquility that dangerously borders on monotony. The base built here is solid, and I hope that the developers keep the promises established by the roadmap and deliver new content in the future.

Iwaihime is an excellent visual novel that develops an interesting and intense supernatural mystery. Though the horror is diminished over time and some serious topics aren't handled with care at a few moments, understanding the curse and how it affects the characters becomes an engrossing narrative over time and makes it a strong emotional experience until the end.

9 Monkeys of Shaolin does much more than just join the vast list of beat ‘em ups: it is among the best of its kind. Sobaka Studio not only inserted all the elements that I consider essential, but also knew how to go further, adding aspects that differentiate it from the majority and that work very well with the frantic and exciting style of these games. The character's evolution structure prolongs the title's longevity for those who like grinding without making it mandatory for players who despise this mechanic.

GONNER2 is a fast-paced run and gun adventure. It is exciting to defeat enemies in combos while escaping danger, especially when death is often on the prowl. The exotic setting stands out and it is a delight to explore its colorful world, even if it is common to get lost in the visual confusion. The difficulty is severe and you will die a lot until you reach the end of the adventure. Unfortunately, the content of the game is limited, roguelike aspects, such as different equipment and procedural generation, alleviate this feeling, even if it is not always enough. In the end, GONNER2 is an intense and brief experience.

Trails of Cold Steel comes to an end in episode 4, after seven years of story, by bringing a satisfying conclusion to fans of the saga and bringing together dozens of characters we know throughout the games. Despite maintaining the same combat system with some balancing on specific things, the gameplay is fun and consistent. The game is a beautiful service to fans, delivering dozens of hours of content to end the story in a dignified way.

Cloudpunk is sensitively impeccable and presents an immersive futuristic atmosphere with high quality visuals and soundscapes, designed exclusively to delight the eyes and ears of the players. It is a title focused on exploration and narrative with some thought-provoking and sad stories, almost like a self-portrait of our own reality, where the characters are victims of the inequality of a system corrupted by richer organizations. It is a pity that much of this is lost in a fragile playable structure, where repetition and countless loading screens corrupt the entire package, resulting only in an exhausting and not very challenging journey.

G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout is nothing more than a generic shooting title that has gained a visual identity based on an established franchise. Its gameplay is inaccurate, its content is scarce and it is not exciting, abusing of repetition. Unfortunately, this is yet another defeat for both Joes and Cobras

The Signifier is a very interesting investigation game due to its strong atmosphere of suspense and sci-fi ambience. With several thought-provoking elements in the story, fans of adventure titles in general can feel truly rewarded by the game if they like more open works, which evoke reflection. However, the many small misunderstandings prevent the game from reaching its potential.

Disc Room is an agile and unique dodge 'em up. Trying to dodge lethal discs and other dangers in small arenas is both difficult and exciting, and the fun is to figure out how to overcome the countless complicated stages. There is a good variety of situations in the compact adventure, with puzzles, secrets and a more difficult mode for those willing to face a good challenge. Small technical problems and some balance issues hinder the experience, but options to adjust the difficulty allow players of different skill levels to enjoy the game. Brief and intense, Disc Room is for those looking for a good challenge.

Ben 10: Power Trip is not the most beautiful and well-made of the hero's games, but we have to recognize the merits of the title for bringing much of the essence of current open world games, even if in a more simplified way, to a title clearly aimed at children in a very interesting and efficient way. It is a game that, without a doubt, I would love to play in my 10 years if it had been released some 10 years ago.

Overall, I highly recommend Vigil: The Longest Night. The title has an interesting theme, a captivating story, excellent art, combat with cool depth and various scenarios to explore, ensuring plenty of fun along the way.

Crown Trick uses turn-based movement and roguelike elements to create an exciting dungeon crawler. The highly tactical combat is its biggest highlight: simple concept mechanics and a wide range of skills allow you to build different strategies, and it is very rewarding to create devastating elemental combos. The challenge is intense and fair most of the time, but peaks of difficulty and unbalanced aspects are a little uncomfortable. In addition, an interesting world, great visuals and a clear interface make exploration enjoyable. In the end, the result is a remarkable, intense and engaging experience - I keep trying to escape the Nightmare World even after countless defeats.

With a very interesting basic idea, Bite the Bullet is like one of those traditional simple buffet restaurants. On the one hand, you will find a lot of good things, like beautiful visuals, fun challenges and a lot of content to explore. On the other hand, sophistication and care for details will be in the background. In the end, the result is still a good game, perfect for those who love to taste a good roguelite accompanied with elements of platform and RPG.

The charm of Highway Blossoms is in the characters and the way the dynamics between them develop. More than a great narrative, the search for gold is just a trigger to bring characters together and tell a story that is both mundane and emotionally captivating. For those interested in seeing two women of apparently antagonistic personalities getting to know each other better and becoming a couple, this game is an interesting option.
