Kemono Teatime is one of those games that's hard to talk about without spoilers. Part of the experience is being shocked by the themes it choose to explore and, later, how naturally it deals with it. Despite that, it's still a cozy game and a good one at that, as it doesn't just offer an empty story and has something to say.

Baki Hanma: Blood Arena breathes Punch-Out!! and makes a point of revealing its inspiration at every opportunity, in the few game modes it offers. While it doesn't quite reach the same level of control quality and fluidity, Baki Hanma's adaptation of the Punch-Out style nearly pass the year, demonstrating that the series has the potential to produce great games; it just needs more investment and perhaps a little more appetite for bigger projects.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land has undeniably been enhanced by the Nintendo Switch 2's more powerful hardware, and the addition of Star-Crossed World as substantial new content only helps to enhance what was already a spectacular game.

Super Robot Wats Y is a game that can entertain those who play it, be it for it's strategy and RPG elements or seeing all those iconic mechs fighting alongside each other. It's a highly addictive game that made me enjoy the giant robots genre of anime and manga.

Personally, I loved the story of Shuten Order, and I think it’s a game that deserves to be played. However, there’s one thing that’s practically shooting itself in the foot: the translation, which can’t stay consistent and gives the impression that a quality‑check was missing to make it perfect. That said, if you’re looking for a story that will get you hooked, then it’s definitely a game I can recommend, especially for those who appreciate the tone that Too Kyo Games knows how to deliver.

Mind Over Magnet is a great recommendation for anyone interested in game design, especially platformers. Despite its simplicity, there's a lot to learn from what's presented here, and it's quite enjoyable even for those just curious like me. The game fits perfectly into the portable console space, so there's no doubt that the Nintendo Switch is the ideal platform for playing.

Curiously, everything that can be said about Iwakuria Aria as a game can also be said about the character Iwakura Aria. It is a beautiful but imperfect game, its themes are what define it, in addition to being much deeper than the surface shows and filled with layers. At the end of the day, what remains of Iwakuria Aria is a solid and balanced experience that has a lot to say.

Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution is a good action platformer that manages to present a world filled with charm and worth exploring. Though a few details may be inconvenient for those already used to modern games in the genre, the experience balances out the effort.

Analyzing the game itself, it's impossible not to recommend it, despite my reservations. While it's not the showcase it seemed, it remains an interesting mix of controls, with a certain charm in the interactions between avatars, both in and out of matches.

The impression I get is that Madden is made exclusively for those who already understand the sport, for those already in this niche, and it's unlikely to "capture" anyone from outside. If you're a fan of the series, you might have read this text with hatred and be cursing even the fifth generation of my family, but look, I'm open to receiving tips or even video recommendations to better understand the game. I'm frustrated because I thought it was impossible for me to simply receive a game that I couldn't actually "play," but that's basically what happened here.

In an industry rife with empty releases made solely to fill the table and works of art ruined by corporate greed, stopping for a few hours and experiencing a title like OFF is almost like a punch in the face, a questioning of morality in the form of a meta-commentary on the consumption of video game media, but at the same time, a reminder that the world is much bigger, and that real art is still worthwhile.

The diversity of each member's personality and background, as well as the field they each work in, helps BUSTAFELLOWS Season 2 be a fun game that never loses its charm, further enchanting fans of the franchise. Furthermore, in this second game, the script is much more direct and sincere than the original. It's brutal and explicit when necessary, sparing no words when describing what's happening.

"Dear me, I was…" is one of those difficult games to analyze, because the experience is entirely about the emotions it makes you feel, and you have to be very careful not to reveal too much. But I can safely say that this is a very easy game to recommend to lovers of narrative adventures and that it reminds you why video games should also be considered works of art.

NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound is a fantastic 2D title that honors the franchise's legacy. The game could easily be considered the fourth installment in the classic saga, blending the fast-paced, challenging gameplay of the originals with the frenetic, master-friendly action of the 3D titles. Combining the best of both worlds, the title is excellent and highly recommended for those seeking a high-quality ninja experience.

Despite being only an hour long, "and Roger" doesn't need more than that to captivate the player and make them understand the story's narrative. The way it's presented and how it uses both gameplay and art style to represent the protagonist's experience is nothing short of brilliant.

Instead of reliving the glory of one of the best rail shooters of the '90s, THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: Remake feels more like an unfinished experiment, desperately trying to balance the new with the old, but failing. If you were hoping for a triumphant return of the series to the Nintendo Switch, you're better off waiting for a new attempt, or revisiting the arcade.

And even with the polished visuals, technical issues and gameplay limitations prevent the game from reaching a higher level.
