All in all, the PC version of No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is hopeless. I really regret having to say something like that about one of my lifelong favorite games, but stay away from the Steam version. It just isn't worth it and doesn't do justice to what the franchise represents.

Balan Wonderworld is a visually beautiful adventure that even tries to have a captivating story. However, its flaws stand out and make it a very uninteresting game. Not even Yuji Naka's name can bring anything striking to this title, which is a shame.

Fallen Legion Revenants has some merits, such as the soundtrack with its exciting moments and graphics with personality. The battle system, even though it has matured more in relation to its predecessor, is still not ideal due to some details that can compromise the experience. The combat is good, but the overloads and repetitiveness in the rhythm of the game made the experience boring and irritating.

Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris had great potential to be not only the biggest, but the best game in the franchise. Despite having a good combat system and being fun and challenging to synchronize the commands of four characters, hours of unnecessary conversation interrupts the pace of action, in addition to technical problems compromising the game. In the end, it's more of a playable adaptation of the anime's third season than, in fact, a new experience for fans.

Despite having a unique new game mode in response to the FIFA Tour, Madden NFL 21 has no content to justify its acquisition and the hefty price charged. For new players, who are starting now and do not care about the value, it may even be valid, but for those who came from the previous version the game is just an update.

Disappointed. That feeling sums up well what I felt with a game that could finally present an experience better adapted to the current systems. Whoever had the opportunity to play the original on the GameCube and looked forward to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition to have an improved experience, sorry but, being very sincere, you will not have a good time. The game remains a charismatic and cute adventura, but several things get in the way, resulting in a dungeon crawler that is difficult to play with friends.

Ary and the Secret of Seasons presents unprecedented mechanics in which the characteristics of the seasons are used to revitalize objects and areas to create interesting 3D platform puzzles. Although it has its charm, the experience ends up being as fleeting and forgettable as the seasons themselves with four seasons full of technical problems such as rendering deadlocks, errors and crashes, in addition to other aspects that make the title repetitive, dragged and almost nothing challenging .

Unfortunately, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants offers an experience far below expectations for a Ninja Turtles beat 'em up. The visual identity based on a more “recent” animation, even though there are already newer ones at the moment, could have been a great element, but the bland and uninteresting set ended up affecting what could be another great group game.

The Crown of Wu isn't the first or the last Journey to the West game adaptation, so there's no need to play it only for the historical value. Unfortunately, the lack of visual polishment and the sluggish movement broke what could have been a fun and fair reproduction of a literary classic.

Akiba's Trip isn't necessarily a bad game, but it's not that good either. The experience is simply not good and goes beyond thematic constraint and technical precariousness. Perhaps it works better on Switch, considering its potential as a portable system.

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

Though a rerelease can be a good opportunity for old games to come back, Cyber Citizen Shockman 3: The princess from another world isn't one of the best examples. It may even have some positive points, like the visuals and emulation resources, but the original game is so limited that the novelties aren't enough. I recommend it to the fans of the franchise and/or platformers, as well as trophy hunters.

The Fabulous Fear Machine is a rather unique title. The idea of a machine capable of offering control over the world through propaganda, fear and conspiracy was very well executed and proves to be a solid example of speculative horror literature, although the plots of the main campaigns left a little to be desired. Additionally, the game system in its raw form is quite functional and manages to fulfill its purpose of using elements from a strategy game to tell its story. However, it remains very limited as a representative of the genre it tries to fit in. If the game had invested more in improving its systems, the superficiality and even the stereotyping of the stories could have gone unnoticed. Likewise, more elaborate and engaging stories could alleviate the linearity of the gameplay.

Maybe people too fascinated with the [delinquent] context and any tactical game may still enjoy Banchou Tactics a lot. I confess I still had fun at times and my feelings are more along the lines of sadness because the concept is pleasant and could have been used to make a high level game. I hope the next games from the team may offer more polishment and maybe even aim to be more ambitious.

Having experimented the demo version some months ago and the supposedly final product now, it's evident that Lakeburg Legacies unfortunately didn't manage to be molded into a consistent product, lacking polish to the point sometimes it doesn't even feel finalized. This is a curious simulator with a really interesting concept but it doesn't live up to its position as a full game. It'd have been a better decision to make it an early access title instead of the full release as it is right now.

Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story 2 manages to present two opposite sides when it comes to quality. On the administration side, the title has a good challenge and diverse possibilities to manage and plan the studies of the future heroes. On the RPG one, it fails to present any attractive content, delivering tedious and monotone moments. Despite its qualities, it's hard to recommend it due to how many hours it takes to explore its bland scenery and to overcome the repetitive battles.

Everdream Valley has its charm and a few merits, especially in aspects that are not expected for a game of this genre. The exploration of the map and the freedom of action stand out, contrasting with what was expected to be the main focus of the game: managing the farm. If you are looking for a rural experience along the lines of other titles with this theme, unfortunately, this game is not a good option.

We live in an age in which streaming platforms already offer interactive productions with high quality. Thus, Mia and the Dragon is a let down from what it could have been. Even though its concept is less dynamic than most [game] genres, the experience offered here of 'controlling a movie' could have been richer and further developed.

I really wanted to have a positive experience with Troublemaker. You can see that the developers had their hearts in place. There was also ambition, which is good for creativity. However, none of this is enough if you lack the technical capacity to execute your ideas properly.

Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix came with great variety in customization items and unique personalities for the cast but failed with its massive repetition. Not giving different [gameplay] traits to each actress, or even locking each of them to a weapon type, made gameplay too repetitive. This factor and the repetitive grinding reinforce the feeling of mobile game and fails to live up to the variety a console title should offer to its public.
