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.

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.

With a little more care, Soccer Story could fight among the big teams and stand out among the other games; however, it is just a supporting player among the rest.

In My Shadow is a platform puzzle with a good premise, interesting mechanics, but it's not that fun in practice. The idea of manipulating objects to use their shadows on multiple planes is fantastic, but the puzzles end up requiring a lot of trial and error, which becomes tedious and frustrating. It has an emotional backstory, but it hasn't been explored very well, leaving many questions unanswered.

Demon Turf managed to bring together a number of interesting elements to be a good platform game, with well-structured stages, interesting abilities, a good replay factor and a charismatic character. However, problems in crucial aspects like the camera and character control, which are the main characteristics of the genre, greatly compromise the experience that the game could offer.

Unfortunately, eFootball 2022 fell short of all expectations, good or bad. The soccer game drastically changed its proposal by joining a free format, but it seems to have not planned well how to take advantage of it. With a build worthy (or not) of a demo, the game has problems in visuals, gameplay, content and mechanics in general.

Although it has an innovative premise and is visually very cute, the overall experience of SkateBIRD is frustrating. The controls and camera are confusing, and the physics doesn't work as it should. It's a game with a very original concept and could be a lot of fun, but it lacked polish.

Where the Heart Leads has a very interesting premise, but it wasn't executed so well. Although the choices have a real impact throughout the plot, there is a disconnect between the beginning, the middle and the end that generates an unsatisfactory ending. The lengthy dialogues, the long (and unnecessary) duration and the weak protagonist make the game a slow and uninteresting experience after a while.

Considering the competitive market and the large number of similar options, Sniper Ships: Shoot'em Up on Rails is overshadowed by failing to present relevant highlights and qualities. The game works well, has cool visuals and a soundtrack with potential, but these few positive points are sabotaged by the exaggerated difficulty and the absence of several basic elements. If you don't really like the genre, play at your own risk.

Oddworld: Soulstorm gives us the impression of being a PS1 game running on a PS4 or PS5. Despite the interesting story and beautiful graphics, it is repetitive, tiring, dated and with inaccurate gameplay that makes some challenges more difficult than it really needed to be. Crafting and rescue systems don't work very well either. For older fans of the franchise, and anyone who added to the PS5 library on PS Plus, it's worth a try. For those who want to have a good platform experience, skip it.

All implementations made in the general composition of Poison Control were hampered due to a low technical efficiency in the execution, resulting in a product beyond mediocre. From a certain point of view, it is certainly a unique game, but that is not enough to make it minimally good.

Kill It With Fire is extremely limited and short. It is not very varied and the original idea, interesting as it may be, is hampered by the few stages, negligible difficulty and very low variation of the weapons. We know that not every production needs to be big, but it is clear that there is a lot of room for improvement here.

A heresy for me to belittle the historical value of these two excellent games. I think that everyone who has not been able to play them at some point in life has here one of the best opportunities today to make them. However, Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood, as a product, is a terrible job by Konami. I dare say that it is a lazy way for the company to earn more money on such a valuable and important franchise. We have no additional content to add value to the package. The game's exclusivity to PS4 is also questionable. Personally, I don't see any reasons to prevent the release of ‘Requiem’ for other platforms such as PC or even the Switch, which would be a great addition to the console library due to its portability.

It's a crime to divide the IREM classics in five tiny compilations, and IREM Collection Volume 1 unfortunately gets a blow that its next parts will also get. Besides the structural issues, the way these games are rereleased ends up eclipsing how fun they could be as a single package.

Yohane the Parhelion -BLAZE in the DEEPBLUE- leaves something to be desired, resulting in an experience that seems to have been hastily produced without the necessary care to make it truly captivating.

What bums me out the most about Redfall is that it had the potential to be a great game, but its poor execution resulted in frustration. It has its good points, such as fun gunplay, interesting premise and enjoyable cooperative mode; however, its inability to define its own identity, combined with poor performance, repetitive gameplay, silly game design flaws and a swarm of bugs, make the overall experience just average. Unfortunately, the game disappoints, and its worst problem is the lack of focus on defining what its purpose is.

AEW: Fight Forever came with good intentions, but it needed to have more practice before stepping into the ring. Even though it brings a totally different proposition compared to any recent WWE, its various problems and weak content make it a game that will not even pass the door of the Hall of Fame.

Arto even has good qualities, but it will hardly be a hack and slash that will stand out in the market. The mixture of artistic styles and the good use of colors calls attention for its quality and diversity, as well as its combat, which, even though it is simple, offers a good variety of movements. Its problems, however, weigh significantly, since they directly interfere with combat and exploration, things that you will do practically at all times.

Clunky Hero is a very humble adventure that needs more polishment to be considered a really pleasant and interesting experience. [The developers] did not pay enough attention to its gameplay, level design and audio to make the general presentation better, which ends up making the game more Clunky than Hero.

Tad the Lost Explorer comes with good intentions and [it's] based on a fun animation, but its technical issues turn it into a very weak title among other options inspired by cartoons and movies. It isn't horrendous, but think twice before starting this exploration that's as clumsy as its protagonist.
