Peguei esse jogo para jogar quase um ano depois de ter adquirido ele e entregou exatamente o que prometia na descrição: uma experiência intensa, visual hipnotizante e uma campanha principal divertida, com um senso de urgência que bateu bem com minha mentalidade em relação aos games ultimamente.

Foi gratificante retirar mais um título da minha "pilha da vergonha", mas o processo também me trouxe uma constatação incômoda: percebi o quanto essa pilha cresceu vertiginosamente nos últimos anos. Jogar Distance só agora, quase oito anos depois de seu lançamento, me trouxe uma mistura de satisfação e melancolia. A ideia do game é bem original e ainda brilha, mas ficou em mim aquela sensação de que eu provavelmente teria aproveitado muito mais se tivesse vivido o hype do lançamento.

No fim das contas, esta análise serve também de um lembrete — pra mim e pra quem anda acumulando jogos sem parar. Após mais de 15 anos sendo um cliente fiel da Valve e do Gabe, comecei a questionar se esse comportamento de consumo é o certo. A tecnologia está sempre em movimento, o design evolui, assim como nossas cabeças também mudam e, querendo ou não, algumas experiências são feitas para serem vividas no "agora".

Compre seus games, mas tente jogá-los enquanto a chama da novidade ainda está acesa. Vale a pena.

TMNT Splintered Fate é um roguelike muito sólido, com excelente fator de replay e bastante coisa para desbloquear. Ainda assim, considero que exageraram um pouco no grind, o que pode ser frustrante em alguns momentos. Joguei online poucas vezes e, pelo que pude experimentar nessas ocasiões, isso me leva a crer que é um título muito mais interessante quando jogado com amigos, em vez de completos estranhos.

As incursões solo também são uma boa forma de passar o tempo — excelente para aquelas ocasiões em que você quer apenas pegar o controle e jogar um pouco, sem ter que pensar demais.

Gostei também do fato de cada personagem ter características bem próprias, o que naturalmente nos leva a experimentar as diversas combinações de poderes e ferramentas que o jogo oferece.

Recomendado após vencer a fase final base em duas ocasiões. Espero que o game siga recebendo atualizações, considerando o quão vasto é o universo de TMNT atualmente.

Megabonk is not a game. Megabonk is a calling. When I bonk, the universe vibrates. When the universe bonks back, I know I’m on the right path.

O bom e velho The House of the Dead — ou, como a gente chamava lá atrás, “A Casa do Dedé”. Um shooter on-rails que reinava absoluto nos arcades dos shoppings, não só pela qualidade, mas pela imponência absurda da cabine. Talvez porque eu fosse um pré-adolescente nanico, mas aquela máquina parecia simplesmente gigantesca. E os desafios, então… chef’s kiss.

Hordas de zumbis e criaturas esquisitas, diálogos canastrões e uma dificuldade calibrada — pelo menos até a máquina decidir devorar nossas fichas com fome imbatível. Ainda assim, até perder fichas fazia parte da diversão. Os ports que tive a oportunidade de jogar no Wii, inclusive, conseguiram resgatar muito dessa sensação de arcade, daqueles momentos em que eu ficava pingando de suor tentando sobreviver aos desafios do game. Aquilo era a experiência.

Só que algumas coisas deveriam ficar no passado… a não ser que voltassem bem vestidas. E aí é que o remake falha. Os gráficos são só ok, a jogabilidade — que teoricamente não tinha como errar — sofre com input lag em situações cruciais, e o jogo inexplicavelmente consome mais hardware do que deveria para algo tão simples. É o tipo de coisa que faz você coçar a cabeça.

Como porta de entrada para quem nunca viu os originais, ele até funciona. Talvez desperte a curiosidade e leve o jogador aos clássicos, onde a verdadeira magia aconteceu e onde o gênero on-rails ditou regras por um bom tempo. Mas, para quem volta esperando reviver aqueles dias gloriosos do arcade… infelizmente, não foi dessa vez.

Ainda assim, com desconto, dá pra tirar algum proveito. Ele entrega um pouco de diversão despretensiosa, e às vezes isso já basta. Meu voto positivo aqui vai menos pelo que o remake é, e mais pelo que ele pode sinalizar: a esperança de que venham novas conversões da franquia, desta vez feitas com mais cuidado — e, quem sabe um dia, até o aparecimento do fantástico Scarlet Dawn.

Porque, no fim, um homem pode sonhar.

I’ve been running through some old-school kung fu B-movie flicks lately, and this app takes the game to a whole new level. I haven’t used it for long, but I can already see the potential and how it’s going to help me on this saga.

I can't recommend this game. While it was a great experience while it lasted, the developer bricked this version after releasing the full game. For me, that's a seriously, ubi-like, shady move.

I'm definitely not spending my money on the full version, and I'll be keeping my distance from any future releases. What if they release "30 Minutes Till Dawn" and pull the same trick again?

A Shallow and Unnecessary "Enhancement"

As a long-time fan of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, I wanted to appreciate the Enhanced Edition. I really did. Especially since it was offered for free to those who already owned the original trilogy — a gesture I respect.

But after only a few minutes with it, I have to ask: What exactly is "enhanced" here?

Visuals? Barely different.
Performance? At least in my hardware, worse.
Content? Actually, less than before.




Cut Content for Political Convenience

Let’s be honest: this edition removed certain content for purely political reasons. And that’s disappointing. Real-world events are tragic and complex, yes. But they should not be an excuse to censor or rewrite existing works — especially one so rooted in history and atmosphere like Shadow of Chernobyl.

Art deserves preservation, not revisionism. The original games told stories the way their creators intended. That’s where the emotional weight came from. Stripping parts out only weakens the experience.




A Hollow Shell of a Classic

This edition feels like it exists more for marketing than for players. There’s no meaningful improvement, no new content, and the core experience has even been diluted.

If you're new to the franchise, find a way to play the originals first. Use mods like Anomaly, if you want polish — the community has done a far better job than this release.

If you're a veteran: This isn't the version you'll want to revisit the Zone through. It's not more immersive. It's not more complete. It's just... less.




Final Verdict

Enhanced? No. Sanitized and stripped down? Yes.

This edition is unnecessary. The soul of the game lives in the original releases — untouched, unfiltered, unforgettable. That’s where the Zone truly breathes.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl — The Undisputed GOAT of the Franchise

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl isn't just the beginning of a legendary franchise — it's the game that defined what the Zone truly is. The suffocating atmosphere, brutal difficulty, non-linear storytelling, freedom of exploration, and that perfect blend of the bizarre and the melancholic — no other title has captured it quite like the original.

Even with all the technical upgrades and modernization attempts, Shadow of Chernobyl remains the most impactful and memorable entry in the series. And while I appreciated receiving the new "Enhanced" Edition for free — thanks to already owning the classic games — it's clear this version falls short of deserving that title.

There’s nothing particularly enhanced about it. Visual improvements are minimal at best, and worse: key content has been removed.




The Cost of Censorship

Regrettably, certain narrative elements were stripped from the Enhanced Edition, clearly due to political motivations. And that’s a real shame.

Yes, real-world wars are horrifying, and yes, the suffering they cause is real and undeniable. But they do not justify rewriting or censoring art — especially art that already existed long before recent events. Shadow of Chernobyl, like the rest of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe, is steeped in context. To edit that retroactively is to diminish its emotional impact and erase part of what gave it meaning.




A Personal Memory That Will Never Fade

Almost 20 years have passed since my first encounter with a Controller — deep in one of the Zone’s claustrophobic underground areas. And to this day, I still remember the sheer terror and helplessness I felt.

That moment wasn’t just scary — it was unforgettable. It wasn't scripted horror. It was the game gripping you, pulling you into its world, and never letting go.

No other game has ever made me feel that vulnerable. And that's not nostalgia — that's a testament to the unmatched design and atmosphere Shadow of Chernobyl delivers.




The GOAT of the Zone

Shadow of Chernobyl is the true GOAT of the Zone — and it deserves to remain so for many years to come.

Not because it was first. Not because it’s a cult classic. But because it earned that title, through raw immersion, haunting storytelling, and an experience that refuses to be diluted or forgotten.

If you want to understand what makes this franchise legendary — start with the original. Accept no substitutes.

Early Access Review
Crashes Deeper Than a Dreadnought’s Lair - Not Recommended

Look, I wanted to love Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. The core gameplay? Fun as hell - digging, shooting, surviving, all with that DRG vibe I adore. But here’s the kicker: the constant crashes sink this game faster than a cave collapse on a greenbeard. It’s not just a minor annoyance; it’s a dealbreaker. You’re grinding through levels, feeling the rush of a good run, and then - bam - frozen screen, force quit, progress gone. Happened to me multiple times, including twice in a row on the final stage. That’s not bad luck; that’s a broken game.

The potential here is massive, but it’s drowned in technical issues. I’ve officially retired this one to the back of my library until the devs step up and fix it. This isn’t the rock-solid standard I know from Ghost Ship Games. Those folks built a reputation for quality with the original DRG, so the partner devs here need to take a page from their book when handling this IP. Right now, it’s a buggy mess that doesn’t deserve your time—or your credits.

Rock and stone… when it works.
