Saros offers an intense and highly addictive experience. Its world is impressive, its gameplay is exhilarating and the constant progression finally reduces frustration with each run. Furthermore, it boasts a well-told story, arguably more in-depth than Returnal's, which was already very well narrated. However, it's not without its flaws! Some bosses are less memorable than others, and some biomes are clearly less inspired than others... but it remains a brutal and extremely rewarding game.- Carole Quintaine

Pragmata is a fantastic game with a beautifully crafted world! It offers unique gameplay, with a duality that might surprise some but works incredibly well once you get the hang of the hacking/shooting system. The combat is fast-paced and frenetic, and even if the loop is repetitive, it's genuinely enjoyable, especially since the two main characters are endearing and you'll want to see this adventure through to the end with them. Another great idea from Capcom.- Carole Quintaine

A beautiful and deeply respectful remake of a Japanese horror classic, Fatal Frame 2 Crimson Butterfly Remake preserves the haunting atmosphere, tragic story, and unique Camera Obscura gameplay that made the original so memorable !Its many smart additions enrich exploration and combat, even if some longer encounters make the formula feel slightly more repetitive than before. A faithful and compelling return overall.- Carole Quintaine

Resident Evil Requiem delivers a powerful return to Raccoon City, blending emotional weight with masterfully paced survival horror…Its dual-protagonist structure offers two distinct yet perfectly balanced gameplay experiences. A stunning and confident evolution of the franchise that honors its legacy while pushing it forward.- Carole Quintaine

REANIMAL feels like a natural, brilliant evolution of the Tarsier formula: more mature, more surprising, more layered, with co-op that’s genuinely well thought-out and an atmosphere that gets under your skin. A gorgeous nightmare, unsettling… and brutally effective, even if there’s that slight “been there, done that” vibe that’s starting to weigh on it. Has Tarsier maybe reached the end of what this recipe can offer?- Carole Quintaine

Crisol: Theater of Idols has real personality. Its art direction and atmosphere land, and its core mechanic creates near-constant tension. When it focuses on exploration and puzzles, it shines, but it stumbles with overly long chases, repeated spaces, and a few technical or feel issues. Even so, it’s a strong pick for fans of systems-driven survival horror and exploration, if you can accept some padding and imperfections.- Carole Quintaine

With Black Ops 7, Treyarch isn’t trying to revolutionize the series, it’s trying to master it, to make it more coherent and more generous. An intense, horror-tinged campaign, an ambitious and timely End Game, a sharper and richer multiplayer, and a Zombies mode that remains truly monumental, the formula is complete and effective. With its hybrid perks, consistently modernized gameplay, and unified progression system, Treyarch delivers a dense, coherent entry that feels perfectly tuned for 2025. A modern, fast-paced, intelligent Call of Duty, faithful to its heritage… yet clearly looking toward the future.- Carole Quintaine

Techland proves once again that they're doing a great job, and this standalone, which could almost be called Dying Light 3, does the saga proud. It's just a shame that the difficulty ruins the fun a bit at times... But in the end? The best Dying Light to date. A real beast.- Carole Quintaine

Supermassive's title offers a unique and gloomy atmosphere! We appreciate the general intention, in line with the previous opus, with grotesque creatures and a fascinating overall aesthetic where we will face well-thought-out puzzles. Whether visual or in terms of sound design, we are tense from beginning to end and the universe is neat. It's a shame that the solo offers too much ease, the AI of the second character often spontaneously doing all the work and that the overall is undoubtedly too similar to the first two games in the series. Little Nightmares 3 remains, however, a good game and we have a very good (and horrible) time there.- Carole Quintaine

Ghost of Yotei is an excellent game, worthy of its predecessor, it even surpasses it in its writing! The character of Atsu is formidable and this young woman, touching and strong at the same time, draws us into her vendetta, in the heart of a Japan of crazy elegance. The universe created by Sucker Punch offers a violent and poetic vision, between bloody fights with devilishly effective gameplay and charming traditions... A subtle blend for a sumptuous journey, at the foot of Mount Yotei. The formula does not revolutionize anything but it goes further than that of Ghost of Tsushima and that gives something sublime.- Carole Quintaine

Silent Hill F is a very good Survival Horror and it carries within it the DNA of Silent Hill even if it takes us elsewhere, in this Japan which undoubtedly recalls the atmosphere of the Project Zero series... It is a very nice mix for this title which does not give away and offers an extremely neat universe. We regret the general heaviness of the gameplay which makes the fights quite painful and puzzles not always clear, but the overall experience is up to par.- Carole Quintaine

The improvements and features brought to GTA V on this new PC version offer the ultimate experience for one of the best games of all time! We could mention Raytracing, DLSS, and all the optimizations of the Online mode, but above all, the title remains an absolute masterpiece! In terms of writing, rhythm or gameplay, Rockstar signed a real gem in 2013, and we must admit that, 12 years later, GTA V is still as exceptional. The title is in any case much more than a game, it is a true phenomenon that does not age and of which we savor every minute, whatever the version.- Carole Quintaine

Cronos The New Dawn is a pure Survival Horror that will test even the most seasoned players. It offers a full-bodied and terrifying experience, at the heart of a particularly well-crafted universe, as Bloober Team knows so well how to do, inspired here by the best horror games like Resident Evil 2 for example, but with a slower pace, perhaps too much, but that's the style. A perfect game for lovers of absolute stress, where managing situations but also your inventory and ammunition will be your biggest problem!- Carole Quintaine

Shinobi Art of Vengeance is a sumptuous game and it reflects LizardCube's talent. Its artistic direction and its nervous and juicy gameplay offer a masterful and extremely satisfying experience, Not to mention its music which perfectly fits the deeply 90s DNA of the cult license. A successful return!- Carole Quintaine

Death Stranding 2 is a game of incredible grandeur. It follows in the footsteps of its predecessor while bringing enormous improvements to the quality of life of Sam Porter, and therefore of the players… Deliveries that aren’t always fun, hassles, long distances to cover… but all this to tell (extremely well) something so beautiful, so important. We love Death Stranding 2 terribly if we liked the first opus because it manages to make the ordinary extraordinary, by putting us in the shoes of this delivery man like no other, alongside complex and surprising characters, through such a dazzling universe… Because after all, what matters is the journey, right?- Carole Quintaine

Mafia The Old Country is a good game, well-told and enjoyable to play. A worthy heir to the saga, which undoubtedly lacks some great flights of fancy. It remains classic but effective, and even if its story is predictable, we want to see it through to the end.- Carole Quintaine

The Precinct is a fun game with a lovely '80s feel. It's fun to play a cop in an early GTA-style experience. But the game lacks pace and remains repetitive overall, with gameplay issues, particularly with aiming. A game that remains cool overall.- Carole Quintaine

DOOM The Dark Ages is an excellent title that does the series proud. True to DOOM's DNA, it offers refreshing new mechanics, such as the chainsaw shield, which offers a nice duality to the gameplay, combined with numerous weapons. The possibility of embodying a giant mecha and riding a dragon also brings an exotic feel to the experience, even if we would have liked to see more of these sequences over the course of the game's 22 chapters. This new episode nevertheless brings enjoyable sensations in an extremely well-crafted and bloody universe.- Carole Quintaine

Clair Obscur : Expedition 33 is a wonderful game, an absolute gem. Its universe of rare elegance and its deep gameplay are not its only qualities because it also offers a fantastic emotional experience that will make you laugh as much as cry, with characters so well written and so "real" that you would think you knew them, absolutely sublime music and a masterful, Dantesque staging. A lesson in video games!- Carole Quintaine

South of Midnight is a beautiful tale, with truly charming artistic direction and a neat gothic universe. It offers effective gameplay but unfortunately remains stuck in classic and repetitive mechanics, especially during combat, even if the boss encounters stand out. Its story nevertheless manages to keep you on the edge of your seat and we have a very good time, accompanied by the sublime music of Olivier Derivière.- Carole Quintaine

Assassin's Creed Shadows is a very good game. It offers a generous journey through an absolutely sublime Japan, and the characters of Yasuke and Naoe offer rich gameplay, with true duality. The game doesn't revolutionize the formula, but it has the merit of being solid and keeping you on the edge of your seat until the end, without a single moment of boredom.- Carole Quintaine

Split Fiction is an incredible game for two people to experience. It offers rich and varied gameplay, with ever more intelligent mechanics, but also a neat universe like all Hazelight productions. Josef Fares' studio has created yet another great gem for fans of the gameplay school. Well done!- Carole Quintaine

Monster Hunter Wilds is an incredible game for old fans or new monster hunters. Its organic and sublime universe, its combat with enjoyable gameplay, facing Dantesque monsters and its world with extreme conditions offer a nervous experience without counting a story where the intrigue keeps you going until the end.- Carole Quintaine

Avowed is a good game. It’s a great adventure that pleasantly surprised me! The story is engaging, the fights dynamic and they offer a real freedom since the player will not be locked in a specific style and can use skills through all classes offered, without counting those of his companions. One of the great qualities of the title is also the exploration, at the heart of the experience, and we take a crazy pleasure to explore the magnificent scenery, to discover its every mystery. Dungeons, cities, desert expanses, I loved the different atmospheres and its universe particularly neat. Bravo Obsidian!- Carole Quintaine

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is far from perfect, especially because of a lot of dated elements and a rigidity, but Machine Games' title has the merit of ticking the most important box: it's REAL Indiana Jones! The Studio has perfectly grasped the codes and DNA of the films to offer us a real adventure alongside the hero with the legendary hat and whip.- Carole Quintaine

Red Dead Redemption is a pure masterpiece, timeless and enhanced with this port which brings all the improvements that one would expect on PC. Already incredible 14 years ago, it returns, more impressive and immersive than ever, once again reminding us of Rockstar's undeniable talent for writing unforgettable stories. Timeless!- Carole Quintaine

The Silent Hill 2 remake is an exceptional game! Bloober Team achieves a real feat here by bringing this masterpiece back to life. While remaining extremely faithful to the 2001 game, this 2024 version adds an incredible, even more oppressive atmosphere, real depth and a lot of freshness to James Sunderland's horrific adventure. If it is not a rigidity in the movements which does not really stick to the combat sequences and a lot of lengths, Silent Hill 2 remake can pride itself on being one of the best Survival Horror of all time... Again!- Carole Quintaine

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero is undoubtedly the Ultimate Dragon Ball game! With its game modes dedicated to creation and its deep and nervous gameplay not to mention a monumental roster, it is the worthy successor to Budokai Tenkaichi. We could regret that the Story mode is more of a summary focusing only on the highlights, but this mode remains incredibly rich, offering different points of view through the main fighters of the Dragon Ball universe. And even if some bugs can frustrate during combat, the overall experience remains enjoyable! In short, the best Dragon Ball game is here!- Carole Quintaine

Black Myth Wukong is an imperfect but captivating masterpiece. It offers lively and brutal gameplay, which takes you to the guts despite some somewhat messy fights, but its greatest quality is its grandiose staging. This dive into the heart of Chinese folklore is truly fantastic and even if the overall result remains uneven, we are carried away by this irresistible wind of exoticism.- Carole Quintaine

Astro Bot is an excellent, brilliant game, full of good ideas, innovation and magic. It's a love letter to PlayStation but also and above all to video games. Asobi's game knows how to renew itself at every moment and offer something fun and intelligent in its gameplay mechanics. Fun and colorful, it offers a generous and definitely unforgettable experience. The GOTY 24 is undoubtedly here!- Carole Quintaine
