With its fun pacing, Collector's Cove manages to be a good way to pass the time. Even with much better and more accessible options, the game manages to deliver a fun experience most of the time. It's the kind of game that works very well with balanced and realistic expectations of what it actually is.

You'll have a blast with these games, which served as invisible foundations for the development of many seasoned gamers out there (cough, cough), and, at best, you'll end up searching for old and expensive cartridges on Facebook Marketplace.

FireRed & LeafGreen remain very good games, and I would even say that with a good sale these re-releases might be worthwhile, but there's a feeling of missed opportunity to transform these versions of the games into something even more special.

FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE is a remake that brings a solid foundation and perhaps one of the best horror experiences thanks to its fantastic atmosphere. Unfortunately, its new combat mechanics turn what could be a challenging and fun experience into something tedious and poorly balanced. Furthermore, its performance on the Nintendo Switch 2 is commendable, but some technical issues shouldn't exist, especially pop-in on nearby objects.

I think it's great that Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen are available on a modern platform. It's a great way to relive the classic formula from the comfort of your own home, and it also serves as reference material for newer players who discovered the franchise on the Nintendo Switch and want to know how the original games worked.

With an adorable visual style that seems to draw inspiration from storybook art, Baladins offers solid and fun gameplay for friends, which can even be enjoyed by those who have certain reservations about text-based RPGs.

Scott Pilgrim EX is one of the most fun games in the genre, and even with the aforementioned problems, I finished it three times before starting to write this review. The characters are wonderful, even though they are already well-known, the world is beautiful and crazy, combining real-world elements with elements from games and comics.

City Hunter is an average, shallow and hardly interesting game but it had the chance to be rescued from the past and is now available in an acceptable way on modern systems. With its limitations in mind, the game can be interesting for retrogamers, but its appeal ends there.

I have no doubt that Resident Evil Requiem is a flawless experience in the franchise, both from a survival horror perspective and in terms of action.

Tales of Berseria: Remastered offers Nintendo Switch owners the opportunity to experience another good game from the Tales franchise. While this remaster doesn't bring many significant changes or visual improvements, Berseria itself is a good game with an interesting cast of characters and a combat system that expands on some of the ideas from previous titles.

Path of Mystery is a game that is extremely easy to recommend, even for those who are not very fond of adventures or visual novels. Its humor, pace, and narrative design make it a very easy and fluid read, alternating with gameplay that presents itself with a new proposal that is mechanically well executed and written.

Though I think it's good to finally have Hakuoki SSL translated officially in the west... after playing it so much, I ended up concluding that the game shouldn't have left its coffin on the Vita. Even though this alternate universe is really fun, I find it hard to ignore the fact its minigames are not, which gets to the point of not making me recommend this game.

BlazBlue Entropy Effect is a solid roguelite, and its replay value makes it worth the price. However, in a more objective assessment, it suffers from minor quality dips in some areas, such as reused sprites, a visual modification detrimental to the original design, and music that doesn't quite match the game's rhythm and is weak compared to other games, preventing it from standing out as spectacular in a competitive genre.

Seeing Camelot find a balance between adding new features and deepening the gameplay gives me a very good feeling about the future of the series.

Even 30 years later, Rayman 1 remains creative, challenging, and artistically beautiful, even without the faster pace of Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends. We hope this truly is the "first step towards Rayman's return," as Ubisoft has been saying.

Ys X: Proud Nordics is the definitive version of Ys X: Nordics. If you haven't purchased the game yet, I highly recommended that you get it, as it introduces new content that adds more to the game. But therein lies the problem: the extra content is so minimal and so optional that there is practically no reason for you to buy it otherwise, unless you want a version made for the Switch 2.

WiZmans World Re;Try manages to rescue a very curious RPG from the DS and give the game another chance to shine while striving to keep it very close to how it was originally. Some details are impractical, and there are small elements that deserved more robust and well-planned adjustments, but it's still a very worthwhile experience.

With modern features that respect the current player, but without altering the classic essence, the collection proves that Bomberman's simple, strategic, and chaotic formula remains extremely fun.

The Mermaid's Curse is a grand story about belonging, the finiteness of life, and finding your place in the world that is extremely easy to recommend to any fan of adventures and a good suspense story.

Gear.Club Unlimited 3 is a racing game that falls short in terms of gameplay options, visuals, and technical performance. The details of the vehicle models and the stories of car culture are good points and will please fans who love cars, but the repetitiveness, lack of innovation, and uninteresting challenges make the whole experience boring after a few minutes of playing.
