7.5 / 10.0 - Pepper Grinder
Mar 28, 2024

Pepper Grinder is a creative platformer that uses its unique drilling mechanics across an impressive variety of stages. The mix of fast-paced action, exploration and puzzles results in a stylish adventure full of exciting moments. The various ways to use the drill, from crossing obstacles to controlling vehicles, guarantee a diverse experience from start to finish. However, the game falters with control precision issues and frustrating blind jumps, introducing an element of trial and error that can be irritating; despite this, it manages to offer a satisfying journey, with its few extras serving as an additional incentive for the most dedicated. Furthermore, Pepper Grinder is an adventure that, despite its flaws, entertains with its creative design and unique mechanics.

After many hours playing The Rise of Ronin, it is undeniable that it bears many similarities to titles such as Ghost of Tsushima, Sekiro Shadows Die Twice and Nioh. It may be inferior to them in certain aspects, but it also surpasses its peers in several aspects. More than that, it offers an original and rich experience, full of unique and competent elements. Not only is the adventure engaging, but it can be shaped according to the player's decisions. The gameplay is even more flexible and satisfying, with many types of weapons, combos, projectiles, items and equipment to obtain and master, all of them well implemented. There are many activities to entertain yourself, from photography to hunting powerful bandits. The few flaws are (far) outweighed by the positive qualities, making the title a practically mandatory addition to your gaming library.

7.5 / 10.0 - Rebel Transmute
Mar 21, 2024

Even without innovating or impressing, Rebel Transmute executes its inspiration in Metroid very well. The adventure on an inhospitable planet is enriched with reasonable narrative doses, competent setting, challenging difficulty and exploration of secrets. The almost non-existent direction can be a hindrance and a source of frustrating repetitions, but it will certainly be worth it for those who enjoy metroidvanias, especially in the science fiction aspect.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake misses the chance to be a more relevant and creative reinterpretation, focusing only on the visual redesign. In the end, the tale of the union between two brothers to save their father remains charming and cozy, a story that can be enjoyed playing solo or as a couple. Even though the second option makes gameplay even simpler, the best way to get into the fantasy is up to each person's taste.

Despite not reaching the level of the original, Alone in the Dark honors the franchise's legacy by being the best title since 1992, with a decent, albeit modest, use of Lovecraft's madness, as well as a great setting and an enigmatic story that captivates from beginning to end, tying several knots in your head. A great experience for long-time fans, and for the most aficionados of survival horror, old or current.

6.5 / 10.0 - Juicy Realm
Mar 19, 2024

Even with some structural flaws, arising from its mobile nature, Juicy Realm is a fun and charismatic roguelike for those who want quick games, but without any frenzy. Now, if you are a more hardcore fan of the genre, you will end up losing interest and opt for the more intense challenge from other more famous names.

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley is a solid choice for those looking for a relaxing and enchanting experience, although its simplicity may not appeal to all players. Its nostalgic charm and comforting atmosphere make it a welcome addition to the game library, especially for fans of the Moomins and those looking for a quiet, captivating adventure with a comforting message for those with their inner child open to new lessons.

In the end, The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered doesn't make much of an effort to renovate the original work. What we have here is an RPG that can be interesting only for the most passionate about the genre who are looking for a loose experience focused on combat and grinding.

Cricket Through the Ages takes inspiration from cricket to create a really fun casual game. With its accessible gameplay and good humor spread across all its features, it becomes a great option for those leisure moments with friends, even if the tutorials are poorly designed. Despite this, I don't recommend it if you don't have a friend to share the experience with. The campaign is fun, but after a short while, there isn't much to explore in singleplayer.

Outcast - A New Beginning offers a mix of science fiction and curious fantasy, providing an immersive gaming experience in a vast and visually arresting open world. However, its approach is quite dated, especially due to the excessive amount of repetitive activities that can make progression tedious and an uninspired script.

7 / 10.0 - Highwater
Mar 14, 2024

Highwater takes advantage of the climate debate to create a captivating story, even with some pitfalls. The story of Nikos and his friends is exciting and attracts mainly the musical part and the reflections regarding the protagonists' choices, which bring a melancholic air to the game. Combat is another high point, as there is a good variety of weapons and scenario elements that, when combined, allow you to develop many combat strategies. Its biggest problem, however, is the pace. Both the combat and the dialogues are drawn out, take a long time to finish and leave the adventure boring. Skipping lines or speeding up combat is not a good idea, as it gives the feeling of being disposable factors, but, in practice, they are very important. Still, I believe that Highwater is worth experiencing for its debate and great emotional appeal.

With a vast cast of characters and an automated combat system that encourages players to explore and deeply understand all their options to build a powerful team, the title shines precisely in what is best within this genre: tactical variations.

Death Trick: Double Blind is a criminal investigation adventure that attracts attention with its well-written plot and strategic gameplay challenge. When reaching the end, it is possible to notice all the quality of what has been built up to that point, but the game may not be so suitable for those who want a casual investigation experience, as errors in the search for the truth can generate a frustrating snowball .

8.5 / 10.0 - Last Epoch
Mar 12, 2024

Last Epoch is not exactly a revolution within the action RPG segment, but the creation of Eleventh Hour Games gets it right by delivering a fun, engaging and, above all, accessible adventure in a genre recognized for its often frightening complexity. By giving players the freedom to conquer Eterra however they want — online, offline, alongside other players or not, including dismantling and assembling builds without any penalty for doing so — the developer proves that excellence comes after the basics are well built.

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster is a welcome homage to the 1995 classic, offering an updated experience for the fans of the saga. Though it presents notable upgrades, such as the better graphics and revised gameplay, the absence of substantial additions may leave some players wishing for more innovation. However, for those looking to revive Kyle Katarn's adventures in a distant galaxy, this remaster will definitely deliver a satisfactory journey in a relevant chapter of Star Wars's expanded universe.

Penny’s Big Breakaway is a good game but its show isn't surprising and the commands don't always flow like I'd prefer. There aren't big issues nor big qualities to highlight, making it recommended especially for people who love 3D platformers and colorful games with a cartoon feeling.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth does an excellent job at reworking the universe of one of the biggest classics in the genre. There are certain elements that deserved more polish, especially on the game's technical side, but the end result is a fantastic experience and once again a reference within its genre.
