Hellblade 2 is just as visually stunning as the first installment, with noticeable improvements in graphics that enhance the overall experience. Although the combat left me slightly wanting more, the story and the game’s beauty are still present, despite its relatively short length. Like its predecessor, this game brought me a meaningful message: “There are always choices to be made; we must remain rational and not always act solely in our own self-interest.” 6.5/10

This game marked my childhood, and now it’s better than ever with improved resolution and smoother visuals.

NieR: Automata offers an exceptional story combined with fast-paced, fluid combat mechanics that make every battle both thrilling and satisfying. The soundtrack is phenomenal, with strong influences from Japanese musical styles, adding a deep emotional layer to the experience.
The character design is equally impressive, featuring unique and memorable aesthetics that complement the game's futuristic and philosophical themes perfectly.

Lollipop Chainsaw holds a special place in my pre-adolescence, thanks to the Portuguese YouTuber Mister Remedy. It's a fun and quirky game with an amusing story, featuring some risqué elements, particularly the appeal of its main character, Juliet Starling (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵). The game balances humor and action, making it a standout from that era.
However, the price on Steam feels unfairly high for what the game offers. There are also some audio and subtitle bugs that need fixing. Despite these issues, the game remains as enjoyable as it was in 2012, with improved visuals and gameplay, delivering that nostalgic, wild experience. 7/10

Mark of the Ninja is a masterclass in stealth gameplay. It combines fluid controls with a beautifully animated art style, creating an experience that is both visually stunning and highly engaging.

I used to think perfect games didn't exist until I played It Takes Two. It's an outstanding game to enjoy with a partner or a close friend, offering a truly cooperative experience. The atmosphere, story, and numerous puzzles, bosses, and mini-games are all incredibly well-crafted, creating an immersive and exciting adventure.
The game's variety and creativity keep it engaging from start to finish, and it's no surprise it was awarded Game of the Year in 2021. Whether for fun or bonding, it's an unforgettable experience that redefines what cooperative gaming can be. 10/10

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice tells a deep and emotional love story, with a narrative that explores mental health and loss. The combat mechanics are simple yet effective, allowing players to focus on the immersive story and atmosphere. The soundtrack is powerful, enhancing the overall mood and intensity of the game.
However, the voices representing Senua’s inner thoughts, while intended to aid gameplay, can sometimes feel overwhelming and distracting, occasionally interfering with the player's focus. Despite this, the game shines in its depiction of Norse mythology, creating a haunting and engaging world. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys a story-driven experience with mythological elements. The game also brings with it a beautiful message, which I interpreted as follows: "Enjoy life, be happy, without fear". 8/10

The gameplay revolves around sharp thinking, requiring players to stay on their toes as they face unpredictable scenarios. The game’s mechanics are straightforward, yet the challenge lies in making the right choices under pressure, keeping players engaged and on edge.
The minimalist design and fast-paced nature of Buckshot Roulette create a unique, adrenaline-pumping experience. Its simplicity makes it easy to pick up, but the depth of its gameplay ensures that mastering it is a rewarding journey. Overall, it's an exciting and unique game that offers a fresh twist on traditional action games. 8/10
