“Cat Leather Jackets is a great choice for fans of visual novels and rhythm games, and will certainly leave you with a smile on your face as you follow the adventures of this group of young punks!”

“CODE Bunny is not just a simple Brazilian indie game, it is also a very well-made game. Its story is good and, combined with dynamic gameplay and spectacular art, demonstrates all the love that went into the game's production. Despite my criticisms regarding some artistic decisions, the experience is solid. I hope to see more games from Team Seventh Star, and who knows, maybe even a CODE Bunny 2.”

“For a title developed by just one person, Magenta Horizon is a surprisingly polished and solid work. It combines Metroidvania elements with the speed and combo-heavy gameplay characteristic of Hack 'n' Slash, resulting in a dynamic and engaging experience. The level design is very well-structured, accompanied by a standout soundtrack. Unfortunately, the game's story is one of its weaker points, serving merely as a backdrop for the relentless action-packed combat. Even so, Magenta Horizon is an excellent choice for fans of the genre.”

“In the end, Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is just another platform game in a sea of ​​better titles. It only served as a platform (no pun intended) for companies like Limited Run to ride the hype and release their very expensive collector's editions. If you're looking for a fun game to pass the time, stay away from it.”

“Gestalt: Steam & Cinder could be just another metroidvania, but it goes much further than that. It manages to maintain solid gameplay tied to an intriguing story. Highly recommended.”

“RKGK / Rakugaki, in the end, is a good game, but nothing much more than that. It needed to take more risks to make RKGK a true standout among games of the genre, despite the positive experience. But it was a good start for the Mexican studio's debut.”

“The Hungry Lamb delivers a solid narrative with well-developed characters and excellent voice acting. The themes are historically accurate, showcasing the developers' knowledge and love for their country's history. However, it's clear that this visual novel may not be for everyone, as it contains themes like cannibalism, human trafficking, and even a child-adult flirtation scene – something entirely unnecessary. That said, the story is good, but if you're interested, proceed with caution and keep the heavy themes in mind.”

“The final verdict, after all this, is quite clear: we have here one of the hidden gems of the original Xbox. Its concepts make it a completely unique game, an experience that, unfortunately, no one has managed to replicate to this day. Phantom Dust excels in almost every aspect and offers an experience far ahead of its time. Microsoft has a gem in its hands that just needs a little care to shine once more.”

“Arzette is proof that anything can serve as inspiration, even if that inspiration comes from one of the worst games in the history of one of the most respected video game franchises. A meme that turned into a fun and charming game. It left me wanting more, and I eagerly await a sequel in the future.”

“With clear inspirations from iconic survival horror games, such as Resident Evil and Clock Tower, Creeping Terror is an attempt to pay homage and rescue the old model of the genre in a more gentle way for new players, but it ends up sabotaging what it sets out to do. While the game is entirely based on chases, it gives the player enough resources to avoid going through them without much pressure. This destroys any tension created, making each encounter with Shovel Man become more silly and irrelevant. The immersion of the scenarios, the story and its characters is lost amid the standardization of situations and the ease of getting out of them.”

“Eliosi’s Hunt is proof that Brazilian game development has the potential to create creative and challenging experiences. Despite its technical and narrative flaws, it is an honest and fun title, especially considering its affordable price. It is worth checking out for fans of isometric action and for those who value the national indie scene.”

“BAD APPLE WARS is an interesting title for those who own a PlayStation Vita and like visual novels, but nothing more than that. Captivating and simple, its visuals and different system try to compensate for the lack of commitment to the narrative and development, which is not always the case. It probably won't please the most conservative fans of visual novels, since the Vita's touch system is not always 100% efficient and this can cause some annoyances for certain players. However, if you like eccentric characters and mysterious plots, you will certainly enjoy the title.”

“Night Trap: 25th Anniversary Edition is a curious throwback to an important piece of video game history, but one that currently serves more as a museum piece than an entertainment product. For FMV fans or retro enthusiasts, there may be some value. For the general public, however, the game fails to justify its modern existence.”

“This new PS Vita exclusive has the only flaw of being accepted as mediocre, having great content that was little refined.”

“Collar x Malice is a more adult otome game, with a more human and dense theme than the fantasy approach seen in most games of the genre. The game is not tiring, always prioritizing investigation and mysteries. You will have to, in fact, understand the criminal acts and study Adonis' terrorism, debate with your colleagues and try to solve the main mystery: who Adonis is and how to stop him. All this, of course, while falling in love with a charming husbando and trying not to die or kill anyone during the game.”

“NBA 2KVR is an interesting and very different experience, but it doesn't last long. Even so, the affordable price can please those looking for quick fun, not to mention that it is recommended for basketball lovers. The “game” is made up of minigames and progression with coins that the player earns.”

“Insurgency is dynamic, realistic, tactical, very competitive and fun! In my opinion, it is one of the competitive games that was missing from the platform, even with the arrival of new games that follow this standard, such as Rainbow Six: Siege. It is a great indie game, for a very symbolic price and that deserves its recognition, even with the limitations that we mentioned above.”

“Kingdom is fun and challenging at the same time, good for dividing men from boys, a game that until the moment of discovery is pure fun, the narrative is involved with the mystery of the narrator's silence, which instigates the repetitiveness of the gameplay. Unfortunately, there are some problems that could be fixed, but nothing that prevents us from having immediate fun.”
