Halloween: The Game is a much smarter adaptation than simply relying on Michael Myers’ iconic image. It understands the horror of the original film, transforms many of its ideas into gameplay mechanics, and manages to establish its own identity within the asymmetrical horror genre. It lacks polish and relies too heavily on multiplayer, but there is a very solid foundation here and, most importantly, an adaptation made by people who seem to understand why Michael Myers remains terrifying nearly fifty years later.

It’s hard not to be happy about Torneko's Mystery Dungeon finally becoming available to play on modern platforms. After all, the game is a major historical milestone for both the Dragon Quest franchise and the Mystery Dungeon series as a whole. However, when judged purely as a video game, the adventure clearly shows its age, and this “Classic HD” version could have done more to modernize the experience and attract new fans. It’s an excellent choice for a very specific audience. If you’re part of that audience, you can jump in without hesitation. Otherwise, you’re probably better off sticking with more recent entries in the franchise.

Another Eden Begins is a solid JRPG that manages to deliver an engaging story, beautiful environments, and simple systems that work well, even without offering much depth. Exploration is fairly straightforward, and the combat features some interesting ideas, especially with the Chain Skill system, while progression ends up being more engaging through equipment than through the skill trees. Its mobile origins still leave some noticeable marks on the experience, but overall, the game delivers an enjoyable and well-crafted adventure for fans of traditional Japanese RPGs.

Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia is a very fun game and a great option for fans of platformers. With enjoyable gameplay and an attractive price, the title delivers a lighthearted and entertaining experience.

Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters is a game that stands out for its fun factor, with major improvements to both gameplay and graphics. However, it falls short precisely where it shouldn’t: the absence of a truly engaging story mode. Even so, it is still a game worth checking out for anyone looking a fun experience to enjoy with friends.

The Blood of Dawnwalker brings innovation to modern open-world RPGs by introducing a 30-day system in which every choice consumes time and actively shapes the story. Despite featuring combat that is merely functional and noticeable visual compromises in the PS5 Performance Mode, the game stands out thanks to its impeccable writing and memorable side quests. The result is a memorable and highly recommended RPG that turns time management into its greatest strength.

Star Wars Zero Company joins the ranks of the best Star Wars games ever made, standing alongside Jedi: Fallen Order, KOTOR, Battlefront II (the original), and Episode I Racer. The story is fun and packed with clever references to the franchise, the characters are excellent, and the gameplay loop is fantastic, perfectly capturing that “just one more mission” feeling. The soundtrack is great, and the game’s audio is incredibly crisp. It’s great for anyone simply looking for a good tactical game, and exceptional for fans of that galaxy far, far away.

MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is a team-based fighting game that delivers an accessible, fast-paced, and extremely fun experience, featuring impressive visuals, a strong roster, and excellent Brazilian Portuguese voice acting. Although the short campaign eventually becomes repetitive and the auto-combo system slightly limits freedom during combat, the overall package works very well and provides highly satisfying matches.

Reanimal: The Prisoner is an expansion that showcases the narrative potential of this world with new characters and themes that maintain the horror aspect, but it falls short by focusing too much on contemplation and fails to introduce new and differentiated gameplay mechanics.

While playing Beast of Reincarnation, you can tell that a lot of care went into its development and that the game has potential. However, its extreme repetitiveness in several areas, combined with a narrative that is not particularly engaging, ends up hurting its lengthy 30-hour campaign. This issue could have been avoided if the game were shorter or offered more variety of enemies and areas.

Splatoon Raiders shows that Nintendo has managed to transform its shooter franchise into a surprisingly fun action and progression-based experience. With an addictive gameplay loop, a great variety of weapons, tanks, and builds, the game offers dozens of hours of content for players who enjoy constantly developing their character. Despite stumbling with a simplistic story and a multiplayer system featuring some questionable decisions, the overall result is extremely positive, making this one of the franchise’s most interesting spin-offs and an easy recommendation for fans of games focused on cooperation and grinding.
