“Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief is a very original game, combining Stealth with a scoring system from action games, making it have a faster and more frenetic gameplay. A simple and fun game, that suffers a bit from the simple remastering and some inconsistencies in the mechanics.”

“I was hoping to have an experience I would enjoy remembering on Halloween but after a strong start, The Fridge is Red did everything it could to be lost in my memory, only reviving nostalgia for the PS1 era.”

“Despite the apparent added value of including two games in one package, Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory / Fallen Legion Revenants is neither worth the retail price nor does it carry with it must-have titles to be displayed on anyone's shelf. Both deliver too similar an experience, with Revenants adding pointless and needlessly complex mechanics. Combat, meanwhile, an important figure in any RPG, becomes a bit repetitive and formulaic, requiring in later levels a huge reliance on the block button. Still, for all intents and purposes, Fallen Legion has good ideas, it's just a shame about its execution.”

“River City Girls Zero didn't come trying to remake or reimagine what was already there, integrating a classic into the modern history of the River City saga, giving us a nostalgic experience, and finally giving us a story that was absent for so many years in the West. A good appetizer while waiting for the main course that is River City Girls 2.”

“In short, if you're looking to take the complex farming simulator, Farm Manager 22, everywhere on the Nintendo Switch: don't buy it. Of all the versions available, significantly you will be most satisfied with the Xbox and PlayStation version, although the all menu-driven controls are not the best experience for the player. The definitive version of this game seems to me to be an inevitable PC port with many improvements, where it will finally be a pleasure to play!”

“Lost Epic is without a doubt a well-designed metroidvania, with solid level design, a good pace, and fun gameplay. It may stumble a bit in its final moments, but it is a game that definitely serves as an example that sometimes focused design prevails.”

“Shin-chan: My Summer with the Professor - The Neverending Week is a very casual and fun game, particularly if you are a fan of this universe and its characters. It has a few glitches and breaks in pace, but it maintains the acid humor that Shinnosuke and the rest of the characters have gotten us used to.”

“River City Saga: Three Kingdoms has everything you would know from a 'Kunio' experience: a well-crafted story with the relaxed, comedic side of the Three Kingdoms period, plenty of fighting for everything that moves; and the usual extreme frustration of the saga, with simple mechanics that are already getting pretty archaic these days.”

“While the change from 2D to 3D graphics was not to everyone's liking, for fans Disgaea 6 Complete represents that favorite dish you always order at the same restaurant, now with a slightly different flavor. Even with some modifications to (at least) get newcomers to complete the main story, those who are not fans of the property will most likely not be converted. It is, however, still a good video game and a good experience for those who enjoy tactical RPGs.”

“I don't know how Ghostrunner: Complete Edition slipped under my radar for two years, but it proved to be a very fun title. As the bastard and illegitimate child of Cyberpunk 2077 and Mirror's Edge, several aspects such as the narrative, atmosphere and frenetic gameplay are to be commended, as well as the Project Hel adventure and the overall good performance of the title. The only regrets are the bugs that occurred, the length of the adventure and the lack of accessibility options. Still this is a video game worthy of your time and attention, even more so if the themes employed are of interest to you.”

“Void Riders is an expansion that doesn't want to spoil the essence of OlliOlli World, giving us the same experience with a few extra touches and a good dose of levels for those who are thirsty for some more skateboarding tricks. With a fair and affordable price, it's definitely worth the content.”

“Kao the Kangaroo returns playing it safe, preferring to establish a solid base rather than start branching out into concepts right away, which is perfectly acceptable. With a humble entry, it has high and low points, yet it can't help but be in the portfolio of genre lovers for several fun sessions.”

“INDUSTRY brings a short adventure, but one that not only evokes nostalgia, but brings a concept that deserves to be explored. Too bad it doesn't explore to the fullest, but it leaves you with your mouth watering for what this team of only two people can bring to the industry. It is nonetheless an enjoyable journey that makes our time worthwhile.”

“Final Vendetta is the closest 90's classic arcade beat 'em up you'll find being released today. This is a challenging and sometimes frustrating title, ideal for the hardcore fans of the genre who want the ultimate challenge of the old school arcade experience.”

“Cloud Gardens is the perfect break you need if what you're looking for is an escape from the frenetic paced games or stressful environment of your everyday life. Without any story, enter this relaxing sandbox adventure and challenge yourself to create beautiful gardens in post-apocalyptic settings. In short, this is what the game is all about and it is an absolutely therapeutic journey.”

“Cotton Fantasy remains a game that is fairly consistent in style and comfortable to its origins, perhaps even too much so. The experience is challenging and the introduction of new styles of gameplay bring a fresh look to the series, but it still lacks more, especially for a 30-year legacy.”

“Winter Ember is a game that really stirs my nostalgia. Being a fan of classic stealth games, I feel that we have here a tribute to one of the great pioneers of the genre. It's a game that stumbles a few times along the way, but it's worth it for the classic experience it provides.”

“Ganryu 2 lives up to its predecessor, presenting itself with some tailor-made differences by Storybird Studio. A constant challenge to our patience and concentration, with a fair duration that more than justifies the price asked. Without a doubt a title to be considered for lovers of the genre and/or the saga.”

“All in all, Phantom Breaker: Omnia is an essential game for lovers of the style, and if a small amateur like me enjoyed it so much, I can imagine the pleasure that a veteran and lover of fighting games can feel when giving himself body and soul to this title.”

“Vacation Simulator gives us a fun relaxing experience, where any break you take from the real world, can be filled with hobbies, humorous situations and unexpected surprises, in an environment totally conducive to rambling and leaving out the problems and thoughts that disturb you in the day-to-day.”
