Tormented Souls 2 gets the visuals right, but loses its soul. The title is still a good classic survival horror experience, and despite significant technical advancements, the script falters, and the story degenerates into something more generic until its final minutes.

9 Years of Shadows is one of those indies that manages to leave a lasting impression. The armor mechanics are well thought out and bring fluidity to exploration, especially during boss fights. Even with its mediocre story and minor technical issues, the title makes up for it with creativity, charming pixel art, and an excellent soundtrack, a well-designed atmosphere, and well-functioning gameplay. For those who enjoy metroidvanias and are looking for something new within the genre, it's worth giving it a try.

Music Drive: Chase the Beat is a Brazilian game full of good intentions, with a great soundtrack and impressive references to give substance to a simple, yet interesting and creative idea. However, despite being short, it is a game that offers very little gameplay variation, has trouble finding a personality that is coherent with the theme and lacks greater care to reach its full potential.

Walking the fine line that distinguishes metroidvanias from Zelda-likes, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo nails the fun of adventure and displays a strong identity of its own, which is shown both in its irreverent satire style, as well as in the gameplay of ricochets and yo-yo tricks.

Few innovations and small inconsistencies in the level of difficulty and the narrative do not overshadow Pocket Bravery's excellent qualities. The game has a simple, but well-optimized combat system, and an artistic design that pays homage to the classics of an entire generation of fighting games without giving up its own, very well-constructed identity.

The Looney Tunes universe is still sensational and with classic characters who do not lose their charisma. However, the various poorly executed mechanics for sports, refinement of the game in general and a look that does not live up to the universe presented deliver a mediocre experience.

Deathbound offers some interesting ideas for soulslikes. However, design and technical issues prevent it from reaching a more prominent place in a genre where these concepts are key to determining what is really good.

Horizon Chase 2 brings more of the same very fun, even more so when we share the screen with more people. Wrapped in the infectious electronic musical score, the frenetic races have gains in the relationship between control and speed and the beautiful stylized representation of real locations, but also presents losses in the number of tracks and cars in its modest Round the World Round.

Saviorless is one of those games where the simplicity of the gameplay and the quality of the art direction work together to create something unique. Even though the campaign is short, walking through the steps of the characters and unraveling the mysteries of the narrative make it worth the time.

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.
