1f you’re a gh0st call me here! is still an interesting game, perhaps because it’s not too ambitious, or because it considers its limitations well and works on top of them while succeding in doing so. For many, this type of game may require a certain process of acquired taste, but it may please fans of more alternative works, such as Milk Outside A Bag of Milk Outside A Bag of Milk, OFF, or Yume Nikki, which I can imagine finishing the game thinking something like: “yeah… it was actually fun”.

I believe that all games, regardless of their quality, should be preserved, and for that, Super Technos World deserves nothing but praise. However, the way this collection presents these games and worlds, and unfortunately the lack of an online presence, make me have certain issues with the quality of the package in general.

I felt that Wings of Endless was a game that had good ideas and content, but that strange flaws and odd design choices affected the quality. I would have loved for it to have been a positively memorable experience or with good ideas, but I feel like the developers lacked ambition or creativity.

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny aims to relive the anime's story while you're a part of it, but it completely fails. It also has performance issues on the Switch even though it's a remaster. However, the main point that killed me inside is that the game doesn't have ANY music from the Gundam SEED anime.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is the evolution to the franchise that I expected for the transition from handhelds to consoles, but Rune Factory 5 failed to do it.

FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time really lives up to its name in many ways. This game is so addictive that it's very easy to simply forget about time and spend hours and hours playing because there's so much to do. It's like having three completely different games in one, and the delays really show the care that has gone into ensuring a well-polished game.

Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo delivers much more than it promises. It is a unique experience, with its own identity, relevant social criticism, and the kind of humor that only a Brazilian game could do so well. An initial strangeness to the controls does not overshadow the brilliance of an adventure that shows how much the national independent scene has to offer.

Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is a great entry in the Onimusha franchise, expanding on everything its predecessor introduced while also adding new features to the formula. Although it still has some ongoing issues, its improvements are significant and the remaster adds even more new features, making this the definitive version of the classic.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 consolidates an interesting episode in Capcom's history into a generous package packed with great features. New gameplay options and other modern features, not to mention a flood of never-before-seen material, breathe new life into games that were forgotten in the era in which they were born and that deserved to be formally presented to new audiences.

The re-release of Onimusha: Warlords is the ideal way to experience a Capcom classic that many considered impossible to re-release. Bringing the original experience and adding important improvements to its gameplay, the new version showcases the title's unique qualities and once again proves that the game is a very good option in the developer's catalog.

Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping is a great game without a doubt. It's not a long game, so you can do it all in one afternoon, but you need to put your head to work for it to really work, which is actually great. Get involved. Live the game. Be the duck.

The collection is fun and guarantees a good amount of time for distraction, so the simplicity ends up being a bonus for the experience and the very low price charged shows that the publisher is aware of all this.

Unfortunately, all of Tokyo Clanpool’s misleading intentions led the game into a complete mess of empty and uninspired concepts, and consequently turns itself into a big graveyard of good intentions amidst other titles that do the same thing Tokyo Clanpool sets out to do, only much better.

It’s a great feeling to be surprised by a game that you didn’t expect much from. Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo is a solid experience that kept me entertained from start to finish. The simple and fun text, the colorful and enjoyable environments to explore… everything here comes together to create an experience that you play without feeling the passing of time.

Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade is not the kind of game that will mark you as a masterpiece like few others, but the game doesn't have anything that bothered me to the point where I would consider it a defect, which makes it seem like I'm overestimating it (which is a possibility). The story is important and fulfills its role, with the larger budget going to the gameplay, which is perhaps a very well-refined aspect of the game, offering great gameplay with good rogue-like elements — although the genre has been considered saturated lately. The game is very good, but I won't give it a 10 because of what I mentioned above about it not being such a polished experience that makes me want to give it that rating.

7'scarlet is a decent otome game, and one I have both love and hate in equal measures. Its story manages to bring out a tinge of suspense, but not to the point of being good, especially as many of its plot points do not conclude properly. The romance is also lackluster at times, but credit where credit's due, this game's backgrounds are some of the best I've ever seen in an otome game.

Leila is Ubik Studios' first venture, and I can say that it was a great start. But, like everything in life, there is always room for improvement. The lack of certain features was felt during gameplay. Since this is a game where the scenario must be investigated thoroughly, a zoom feature would be very welcome. The text size is also quite small. Other than that, Leila is a good choice for those who want a slower and deeper narrative, linked to gameplay that stimulates the player's vision and hearing with its hand-drawn art and beautiful soundtrack.

Shotgun Cop Man is a simple product, and it doesn't pretend to be anything more than that. It had an idea of ​​movement in a platform game and executed it very well. It runs well, which doesn't interrupt the player's focus during the trajectory, and it's not huge, being able to be played both in short bursts due to the tiny size of the levels, or in long marathons, since an entire world has a large collection until it is completed. The game may not have exactly impressed, and I don't mean that in the sense that it's average, because it always seemed competent and fun, but it shows what it is right away, without any secrets. It throws it right in the player's face that it's like a good violent shooting and action movie.

Rift of the NecroDancer is one of the biggest indie surprises of the last few years, taking a genre where innovation is difficult and bringing something new, but that at the same time, is clearly a great homage to the other franchises that inspired it, creating an experience that might be one of the best of its kind. With flashy visuals, extremely addictive gameplay, excellent music from a wide range of great composers, and a big variety of modes and gameplay styles, it is a complete package for anyone who is interested in rhythm games, even if they are not particularly good at them.
