Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked Collection has an excellent game (Rocket Knight Adventures) accompanied by two others not as good. The extra features that the collection offers are nice additions, but the price charged for the package at its release is high.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game uses an already established formula from a different source material. It's a simple game that can be interesting for those who like asymmetrical multiplayer, but there are numerous balance and variety issues that greatly affect the game itself.

The Rising Tide is a great expansion of Final Fantasy XVI. The battle with Leviathan is sensational and the whole plot involved is very good to follow. Kairos' Gate is a fun challenge format, too. The only problem is the length of the DLC itself: it's quite short.

Stellar Blade is a great action game with an interesting story. It's challenging in just the right amount and its content is varied enough to keep the player entertained. However, certain combat mechanics need some tweaking. In addition, the main campaign is somewhat short, and can be finished in about 10 to 15 hours (the parallel content compensates for the situation, being able to double this number).

Top Racer Collection is a great way to reminisce about the past. In addition to bringing the trilogy, the collection also adds online, extra modes, and even a modified game. However, it's an expensive bundle on PlayStation, and personally, it's a collection that basically sustains itself through the first title.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is awesome. FFVII Remake's excellent battle system is further enhanced, the story leaves the player (whether a veteran or newcomer to the series) intrigued to know what will happen, and there is an immense amount of content to be explored.

Tekken 8 is a natural evolution of a fantastic series.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is basically a "Super" Granblue Fantasy Versus. That is, it is an updated package with all the characters so far, netcode via rollback and some new modes. If you liked the original, you'll appreciate this new game even more. Otherwise, since the basis is still the same, it is unlikely that your opinion will change.

KarmaZoo has a proposal that in practice only works by playing with friends. It's almost impossible to complete and have fun with randoms. In the end, it's an interesting platform game, with a unique concept, but honestly it's only worth playing with acquaintances.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 is a natural evolution of the first title, bringing more modes and a noticeable graphical polish. Unfortunately, it still doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from the competition, but it's a great option for PlayStation gamers looking for a platform fighting game.

VISCO Collection is a collection that helps preserve VISCO's gaming history. Some titles are pretty fun (Bang Bead, FlipShot, and Neo DriftOut), while others are average (Goal! Goal! Goal!, Ganryu and Andro Dunos) or lousy (Captain Tomaday).

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 improves on the original in every way: a more focused and engaging story, varied missions, a very agile traversal system, and combat on epic scales.

Sonic Superstars is a good hedgehog game that manages to capture the essence of the Mega Drive originals. Fun can be found in both single and multiplayer. However, the price of the package is slightly above the amount of content that is offered.

Separate Ways is a great expansion, bringing an additional campaign to one of the best titles of 2023. In addition to completely reinventing what existed at the time of the PS2, the DLC brings novelties to the gameplay and manages to deliver a complete package when we take into account the base game as well.

Mortal Kombat 1 has a fun gameplay with several options of combo routes because of the Kameos. However, the Invasions mode gets boring quickly and the final arc of the Story mode doesn't please either. The customization of the characters could be further improved after what we've seen in the other games from NetherRealm Studios and the absence of Krypta is remarkable.

Firewall Ultra is a simple game, with few modes at launch and that depend on a very time-consuming matchmaking. In addition, the gameplay explores little of the capabilities of VR. With the promised support, Ultra Firewall may be better in the future, but it's hard to recommend it at the moment.

The Making of Karateka is a history lesson. A round package for those who want to know the first works of Jordan Mechner. The making of part is great and bringing in the different versions is essential for preservation. However, for those who seek gameplay and do not care about this historical side, you may be disappointed that we only have basically two very short games. In addition, there are no texts in Portuguese of Brazil, which hinders the accessibility of the material.

Quake II is a great remaster, with content to spare and impeccable work to bring a classic back. The multiplayer is fun, especially the entire campaign in the co-op.

Synapse is a roguelite shooter with an interesting idea, but without much depth. With the aim of repeating the areas to become stronger and more agile, in addition to a simple plot, Synapse is worth checking out for its fun gameplay and nothing more.

Sonic Origins Plus is an interesting package in theory, but it doesn't add enough relevant content. Amy is definitely cool to be playable, but her moves are pretty simple. And Game Gear games are a good way to remember the past (even with the strange sound), but it's inexplicable not having Master System games. PS: the score reflects the entire package with the base game and not just the DLC.
