If you ask me if I liked Potionomics, I would say that in isolation, yes, it is a game that is different and interesting enough to keep you there, casual enough to play for a while and stop, and it has stories and character development that will entertain you. None of this is extremely well done however, but it is enough to pass the time.

Card-en-Ciel manages to mix an interesting idea of a card-based RPG with some roguelike elements while still being able to pay homage to a majority of INTI CREATES' history. However, the lack of representation of and some minor technical aspects keep the experience from its full potential.

REYNATIS has a really promising concept, but the RPG simply leaves a sour taste in my mouth that doesn't justify all of the hype. From the bad performance on the Nintendo Switch to side-quests that don't really add much to the lore, you're better off spending your hard-earned money somewhere else.

Nikoderiko: The Magical World feels like if Crash Bandicoot and Donkey Kong fused together, providing an experience that is not only nostalgic, but also innovative at the same time, and a joy for any platforming fans out there.

A new PopSlinger would usually mean an unforgettable soundtrack and a charming cast of characters. However, PopSlinger Vol 2's technical issues and elements that are narratively questionable turn it into a game that is unfortunately frustrating to play.

Besides being a highly recommended game for fans of otome games who are willing to take on an adventure that offers a reasonable dose of terror and suspense, 9 R.I.P. tells several love stories that speak volumes to people who are in a phase of self-discovery, making it a game that anyone can easily relate to. 9 R.I.P. is also a game that offers a relatively wide range of quality content, which, despite having a few problems, are nowhere near enough to overshadow its brilliance.

I am honestly speechless on how BAD I★CHU: Chibi Edition is. Were I to call this the definitive way to experience the series, I would think that I have gone crazy, and my friends would also say the same. I don't know who to throw the blame at for this subpar work, but one thing is certain: You're much better off spending your hard-earned money on something else. Trust me.

RPG MAKER WITH is an extremely competent and solid game, but the experience will depend more on the player due to its overall nature. In a sense, you can make whatever game you want, but it will require time and effort that might be daunting for a novice.

Touhou DANMAKU KAGURA Phantasia Lost is certainly a very requested game in the Touhou community, taking in consideration that part of what makes the project so beloved by many is its soundtrack, nothing could be more fitting than bringing together several musical productions to make a rhythm game that innovates in its gameplay despite its many stumbling blocks. At the end of the day, Touhou DANMAKU KAGURA proves to be a solid title within the Touhou Project and is highly recommended for the fans of the series who enjoy musical games.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is more than just a new title in the franchise; it's a rebirth of the series in many ways. The innovative gameplay, the inclusion of Zelda as the protagonist and the return to dungeons show that the traditional formula still has a lot to offer.

Victory Heat Rally is an addicting racing game that takes you back to the 32-bit era of games, while also providing its unique spin, with its amazing soundtrack and gameplay loop. While I would've loved to see more, such as an online mode, and a more varied character roster, those are minor issues that don't hurt the experience overall.

Night Slashers: Remake doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's a well-polished product that will give you and your friends some quality time, with single-screen co-op for up to 4 players.

Designed to be user-friendly, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 focuses on offering lighter gameplay than the main line series, it's a more “family friendly” shooter. The gameplay is competent, has EDF in its essence and it fits well to the Nintendo Switch's hybrid proposal, especially as it offers several possibilities for playing with friends. The experience as a whole, however, sometimes generates a certain discomfort because it is too unpretentious.

Right off the bat you can see that Touhou Genso Wanderer -FORESIGHT- is a game that has its limitations, the question is whether or not the game has been able to use its limited resources to mitigate them. FORESIGHT is a game that does very well in some asspects, but stumbles in others. Overall, the game is able to offer a concise and satisfying experience, largely due to the lighter and less punitive approach to combat, being just the right amount of challenging.

Here's what I have to say about the whole package: Repeating the feats of previous collections, Capcom did an excellent job of preservation, remastering assets originally intended for the tiny DS screen and making them readable on modern platforms, in addition to recreating all the character animations in HD chibi assets, which can be exchanged at any time for the original pixelated assets from the previous ones. It's a detail that greatly enriches the overall experience, and frankly cannot be ignored; a new "Investigations" game with this style would be incredible.

Amidst the increasingly present debate in the video game industry about the need and importance of preserving games, the collection MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics hits the nail on the head, bringing to current consoles the classic crossovers that were popular at the time. The presentation of the title itself (menus and themes), however, could have been more polished. It's a simple hub that gives you access to the seven games present and nothing more, very different from the care that was put on Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. In any case, just the mere existence of this nostalgic collection — something unthinkable until recently — is something to celebrate, whether you like fighting games or not.

Even with hiccups, The Plucky Squire still offers an engaging experience. The positives outweigh the flaws, especially if you value an adventure full of creativity, nostalgia and innovation. However, for those who prioritize performance, it may be more interesting to try the game on another platform, where transitions and gameplay flow more smoothly. Ultimately, it's an adventure worth living — but perhaps under more stable conditions.

Being a last huzzah of the series before its great evolution, Football Manager 2024 Touch is the definitive version of the franchise's current formula. Refining past mechanics, adding new features and overhauling its engine, the title ends this cycle with a flourish.

Caravan SandWitch was mesmerizing for me: walking through all these places, getting to know this world and these characters while I was getting more and more invested in the mystery was fantastic. Despite having some very specific criticisms, such as thinking that the game would benefit more from better platforming and that the visuals could be more refined, the experience as a whole was fun and refreshing. Not to mention the French music that constantly reminds me that despite still being European, this game came from a different place and culture than the three that I am most immediately accustomed to. It's not the new game of my life, but it is a very intimate and comfortable experience that I wouldn't want to miss, so don't miss it!

Keylocker is the type of “handcrafted” experience that I really like in the gaming world, packed with content and a lot of personality. It's the kind of product where you can clearly see the artist behind expressing themselves in every line of dialogue or even gameplay mechanics.
