In the end, the impression that I have is that for every positive point, there seem to be at least two negatives. I'm not saying the game is bad altogether. Let's just say it doesn't appeal to everyone. Perhaps the game works better if we savor it slowly, returning to it sporadically to tackle a dungeon or two.

I must say, LIVE A LIVE is an unique JRPG that oozes creativity, charm, and amazing music. Whether you're a fan of the genre or not, this game can be a great experience, it has several short stories that are unique and memorable, a very beautiful art style that made me use the Nintendo Switch's screenshot button much more than in most other games, a killer soundtrack that can always be heard through the Jukebox in the menu, and a very satisfying final chapter. The only point that I believe is not so well explored is its combat, which, despite being very attractive to those who are not used to RPG games, is only really explored to its full potential on a few occasions, especially in the end of the game, while in most common combats during the characters individual stories, it can feel quite monotonous for those who like an extra challenge.

Koumajou Remilia: Scarlet Symphony is an interesting game that reminds us of a series that many people want to see back. Despite being short and lacking in extra content, the game is still fun and the mix of 2D platforming elements with bullet hell offers a challenge that will please those who like to improve their skills.

Featuring a cool story, good character interactions, and fun, easy-to-master gameplay, the game is pure action and, despite being short, has plenty of incentives for multiple playthroughs.

The KLONOA Phantasy Reverie Series is the perfect way to not only introduce these two classic games to new fans, but also to allow old fans to replay them in a more accessible and polished format. These are two competently crafted remasters, free from notable game design issues, and represent the Klonoa franchise's hope of staying alive. This represents a unique experience, one that no other franchise to date has been able to replicate, and one that anyone with even the slightest interest in platformers, whether 2D or 3D, should give a try.

Super UFO Fighter has a very nice presentation, its single player mode has charismatic characters, fun dialogues, even though they get boring quickly, the gameplay concept is really interesting and fun too, making you have good laughs while playing with a friend, but it lacked a little more content to explore its concepts better and not to fall into repetition after about an hour of gameplay.

Exploration is enjoyable and rewarding. New weapons, items, and abilities appear at the right time, with context. There's double jump, folks! It can't be bad. Regarding exploration, here's a caveat: this is the first time I've enjoyed a water level in a game. Other than that, the combat is great, with responsive (customizable) controls and a very democratic challenge. Just play it!

The game as a whole successfully carries on the legacy of its predecessors and further expands one of the best-made RPG worlds I've ever had the pleasure of exploring. With an admirably consistent story and character writing, excellent pacing, complex and fun gameplay, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes manages to go well beyond any expectations I had. It also manages to maintain a good frame rate at all times and ensure the visual quality of its older brother. It's a very easy recommendation for fans of the genre, and also for fans of Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

The puzzles are basic but well-crafted, connecting the setting to the characters' psyches and providing clues with intriguing puzzles. The visuals are quite pleasing, and the voice acting is quite competent, though it can be exhausting during the explanatory moments, when the characters can barely catch their breath for the lore dump sequences. Finally, there's an out-of-place shot-'em-up, which can at least be enjoyable when you are exhausted of reading.

STAR WARS: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is proof that it is possible to make a good STAR WARS game. However, the idea of ​​re-releasing the game almost twenty years later, without much new content, replicating the original, simply to generate hype for the currently in-production remake of the original KOTOR, wasn't the best. At least in terms of execution: it's more of the same.

Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei has a dense story with two-dimensional characters, and is certainly one of the best Otoges I've ever had the pleasure of playing. The stylization is great, the theme is dense, there's a decent variety of routes and suitors, and all of this tied together masterfully by an impeccable rhythm.

Pocky & Rocky Reshrined is a great comeback of the series, featuring new characters, an interesting plot, a very crunchy pixelart, and fast, varied and very rewarding gameplay that gets really addicting especially when played in co-op. The only points that may leave something to be desired are some boss fights being kinda unforgiving, and some levels that can feel a bit repetitive, aspects that usually can be expected in bullet hell-like experiences, but still bringing a very fun game to play.

It is with certain regret that I close my analysis. In a way, I fear not being able to do justice to such an intense and exciting work. On the other hand, I can't find words to point out the narrative element that most enchanted me without being able to spoil surprises. But one thing I can say without a doubt: as a whole, AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative is a masterpiece.

Lost Ruins is a simple, cohesive metroidvania with charisma and personality, which is honestly quite fun. Most of the time I was playing it was considerably good, except for the periods when the progression with the game seemed almost non-existent. The freedom that the game provides is without a doubt my favorite part of the game, since this is not a very common characteristic in games of the genre.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles is a good game and a good port (for Switch) that is worth it for fans of the anime. Of course, in the future we may have an even better game, with more characters, and that eventually covers more arcs, being a “more complete work”, making this first title completely useless, but until then, which no one even knows when it will be, let's stick with this one, because it is fun and very captivating. The negative points do not take you away from the game, and of course the focus is still on the Versus Mode with friends, just like every fighting game.

Kao the Kangaroo is a good game. Despite its lack of polish, innovation, and graphical/frame rate issues on the Switch, it's still a fun experience that I'd recommend to most 3D platforming fans. Even with my criticisms, I really wish the series wouldn't stop here. I can see the potential for an excellent game in a possible sequel, but for now, Kao the Kangaroo is simply a good experience for fans of the genre.
