Carlos França Junior at GameBlast

Dec 2, 2025 | Score 80

“Hidden Cats in Rio de Janeiro brings a touch of Brazilian flavor, typical of a franchise that has players traveling the world searching for kittens. The choice of settings, situations, and references was excellent, making this entry in the series as interesting as the other games, and with a special appeal for brazilian players.”

“Bittersweet Birthday pairs razor‑sharp, multi‑phase boss encounters with a warm, character‑driven hub and an emotionally resonant story. Tight, demanding combat delivers genuine highs, and the village moments give those highs meaning. Occasional pacing hiccups, accessibility limits, and minor UX friction prevent perfection, but the game’s ambition and emotional payoff make it a strong, recommendable experience.”

“Wall World 2 takes what made the original great and expands it confidently. There’s more story, more mystery, more gameplay variety, and a real sense of progression that carries through every run. Returning players will feel the improvements immediately, while newcomers get a generous onboarding and a world worth exploring. It’s bigger, bolder, and more engrossing. A thoroughly worthwhile sequel and one I’m very glad exists.”

Dec 4, 2025 | Score 74

“Possessor(s) aims to combine action platforming and Metroidvania in a devastated urban world, offering great mobility and a combat system without contact damage, making battles more fair and dynamic. The original visual atmosphere, good writing by the Luca–Rhem duo, and creative level design are somewhat overshadowed by some graphical oversights and a control system that is not always precise. The lack of a grace period when taking damage can be very punishing when there are multiple enemies on screen. A solid game, but with imperfections that limit its impact in one of the most competitive markets.”

“Goodnight Universe is something special. It’s a narrative adventure that trusts its audience, respects their time, and isn’t afraid to be sincere. The optional webcam integration is one of the most thoughtful uses of technology I’ve seen in a game, and it adds real emotional weight rather than novelty. This won’t be for players looking for challenge, action, or traditional progression systems. But if you value storytelling, emotional depth, and inventive design, this is an experience you shouldn’t miss. It surprised me, moved me, and reminded me why indie games continue to push the medium forward in ways bigger productions often won’t.”

“A Case of Fraud provided me a very good time piecing the information together, and the journey around the dozens of documents was enjoyable. While the final mystery could be harder to solve and the volume of clues sometimes feels overwhelming, the parallel stories are incredibly engaging. They add a rich layer of intrigue that makes you wonder what it would be like to work at this company. The game reminds me of a few board games about investigations that are popping up on social media, where you receive the documents printed in your home. It’s great to see such a good idea adapted to an online form, and I hope the studio can bring us more cases like that!”
