Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a bittersweet, powerful and human game that isn't afraid to demonstrate how depression can trick. Dyed in neutral, cool and warm colors, the title published by Finji is about fears and insecurities, but it also reminds us of the importance of being here moving forward, because absolutely everything we do is wonderful and always good enough.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is a technical feat that manages to satisfy professional pilots and flight simulation enthusiasts, yet still be interesting and accessible to non-experts with no aviation experience. Despite being a niche game and getting a bit complicated with the controls, it's essential for flight simulator enthusiasts. It is a benchmark in the genre unparalleled in quality, beauty and realism.

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut is stunning in both art direction and gameplay and script. If you haven't played Ghost of Tsushima yet, I definitely recommend this title. If you've already played the base version and would like to delve into Jin's story, relive epic duels, or want another twenty hours of brand new content, I also recommend purchasing it. While the Director's Release improvements aren't too flashy, especially for PS4 gamers, the island of Iki adds a lot of content, both from a plot point of view as well as new enemies and activities. For me it's a must-have title for those who enjoy open-world action games or enjoy the historical setting of the samurai times.

Tails of Iron is one of the most pleasant surprises this year. Although the art direction is the first feature that catches the eye, practically every element of Odd Bug Studio's work exudes quality, resulting in an easy recommendation to those who appreciate its proposal. Defeating a legion of frogs and rebuilding a brutally destroyed kingdom may not be so easy, but it sure is a lot of fun.

Forza Horizon 5 is everything you love about the franchise, only bigger, more refined and much better looking. Everything that was good has been kept, like seasonal changes, dynamic weather and colossal amount of content, hundreds of cars, nine difficulty levels and several tweaks that make the game fun, whatever your skill level. This title particularly draws attention for its setting in Mexico, which brings a greater degree of familiarity to us Brazilian players than all the maps seen in the series. Its technical excellence and virtually endless amount of content make FH5 a must-have experience for anyone who enjoys racing games.

Windjammers 2 is a perfect sequel. While honoring its origins, it renews and revitalizes an arcade experience that remains extremely fun, competitive, and exciting. Another excellent job by Dotemu in rescuing a game we didn't know we needed so much.

For those who like puzzles, Wytchwood offers several opportunities to face challenges before advancing on the map. The game does not have an open world, but it guarantees vast scenarios to be explored and unlocked as the player conquers new skills and finds new resources. If you want to play something that challenges you in a fun and not frustrating way, I recommend jumping into this adventure with fantastic beings, unique characters full of side quests to offer and discoveries about the mystery behind the sleeping girl.

Living up to its name, Monster Hunter Rise elevates the long-lived Capcom franchise to new heights. Though its fundaments didn't suffer drastic alterations when compared to previous titles in the genre, the new additions such as Wirebugs and the Palamutes make it the fastest and most enjoyable Monster Hunter so far. The adaptation to PCs only further highlights the general quality of one of the best RPGs of the last few years. A must-have.

Horizon Forbidden West is a graphically beautiful game, wide, with a remarkable story, and extremely fun gameplay. Despite some bumps in the script and occasional bugs, the richness and detail in its setting make the player feel genuinely involved with this universe. Like our heroine Aloy, Horizon Forbidden West may not be perfect, but it's insanely good.

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe Edition (Multi) is the kind of game that's simple and easy to play, but complex and tough to review, thanks to its unique concept of game design and the originality and humor-driven insight of its interpretation and evaluation of videogame narrative.

Soundfall is one of the most pleasant surprises I've had with games. Despite suffering from low variety of enemies and repetitive level design, the game very competently encompasses the dungeon crawler structure with rhythmic combat. In addition, the songs are of an impressive quality, matching perfectly with the environment in which it was designed.

Just like the characters use the world of Redo to deal with their frustrations and try their hand at a new chance, The Caligula Effect 2 is a retry on elevating the proposition of the previous game to high quality. The work is successful in doing so, not only offering a good RPG, but an indispensable work to fans of the genre.

The Last of Us Part I brings everything the game deserved to be in 2013 with visuals, mechanics and features that provide a great experience for both veterans and newbies in this universe of intense stories and outstanding characters. Fully standardized with Part II, this is a remake that we didn't need, at least for now, but one that is very welcome to keep alive one of the most important products in the global gaming industry.

Soul Hackers 2 is an entry that manages to showcase with primacy the potential that a Soul Hackers series can have within the Shin Megami Tensei universe. It's a thought-provoking new beginning and an honest return to a classic world that deserves to be explored further.

Return to Monkey Island is a tight hug for fans of the series. The game features familiar mechanics from the original games with the addition of elements that make the adventure more intuitive and dynamic. Despite its accessibility, it will hardly be as attractive to those who don't know the details of Monkey Island's history, being a product intended mainly for older fans of the series. But that doesn't take away from its shine. All elements of the game manage to captivate the player in the story brilliantly. It's a light, innocent and funny adventure that oozes charisma in all its aspects, just like in its first games.

NEO: The World Ends with You is an excellent example of an action RPG that manages to evolve the gameplay concepts of its predecessor with a chaotic combat system focused on multiple simultaneous inputs. Although it only has a very basic system of graphic settings, the game is strongly recommended for any fan of the genre.

Togges surprised me by bringing a whole new way of approaching an old genre, without sticking to nostalgia emulation. The novelty is allied to the wide design of levels, the exploration full of secrets to discover and the charisma of the package as a whole. I still intend to complete this inventive and fun 3D “stackformer” that has become one of my favorites.
