This Far Cry is the best since the third opus - generous, fun to play, with beautiful writing and novelties, including the handcrafted weapons and the Supremos that make the gameplay extremely enjoyable. The atmosphere is perfect for an exotic journey that offers mystery, a good dose of madness and action. Plus with top notch casting. True pure Far Cry as we like it.- Carole Quintaine

Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is a declaration of love to the universe imagined by Akira Toriyama. The game is faithful while offering some new details to make the story even more coherent. The gameplay is easy to understand and the fast progression of the characters allows one to immediately take pleasure despite a capricious camera... All the narrative arcs are explored and thanks to the few original re-marketed musical pieces, we are totally immersed in the animated sequences. However, the RPG aspect is not explored enough and the world lacks some consistency. Fans and those who want to discover the story of Son Goku and his friends will be enchanted by this imperfect, but touching, title.- 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

House of Ashes is not a bad game but it will not mark the spirits despite a neat universe and a beautiful atmosphere. Like the previous chapters the game is too short, especially since it takes time to get started, and it suffers from inequalities. The movements are too rigid, the camera angles suffocating and especially the choices seem illusory which removes salt to the experience. In the end we come out with the impression of not having had an impact on the story, even worse of not having really played... Pity!- Carole Quintaine

At first, Zombie Army 4: Dead War is pure stress relief. Full of energy, it generously rewards the zombie frag and pushes the player to go further to collect items, assets and improvements. Sadly, when the initial adrenaline rush fades away, the experience quickly becomes repetitive, even in co-op. All that remains is a very classical action game that won't leave a mark on our minds.- Carole Quintaine

Directive 8020 isn’t a bad game, but it feels slow and repetitive. The universe is interesting, the atmosphere often works really well, and some sequences are genuinely effective, but I wish the game was more dynamic, more tense, and above all, scarier. It’s a survival horror experience that still lacks the polish and mastery needed to become a true standout in the genre.- Carole Quintaine

Little Hope is a good scary game and it seduces with its narration and its very cool atmosphere. The story is interesting, and we take pleasure in being afraid throughout the game. Nevertheless, it suffers from a few faults, such as a little too rigid movement and some stifling camera angles. Moreover, the fact that the choices are somewhat illusory removes interest from the experience. Regardless, we are afraid throughout and that’s what we’re looking for.- Carole Quintaine

In short, The Medium is a good game with a well-told scenario, tortured and complex characters and its dual reality system is original: the whole is very cinematographic and the relationship to death is well treated. However the gameplay, although charming, is dated which makes that pleasure is a bit wasted. Finally, even if we have a good time, Bloober Team's game is not memorable once finished.- 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

Scorn is a very atmospheric and unique experience. The game offers an incredible artistic direction inspired by the work of Giger and a fantastic atmosphere, ultra heavy. The universe that the player discovers there is as fascinating as it is disturbing and the puzzles as brilliant as they are incongruous... No dialogues, advice, objectives. The player is alone, lost, like a true explorer. Even if the game is not for everyone, those who play it will remember it for a long time, that's for sure.- Carole Quintaine

Watch Dogs Legion is a very good game with which you don’t get bored! The ability to recruit an infinite number of characters with different abilities is enjoyable and the universe and neat, whether it is the story or the characters. This episode, without being a revolution, separates itself from the two previous ones and offers a fun experience that we do not want to let go. A single desire: to play to recruit activists, to hack a thousand systems and to liberate London.- Carole Quintaine

Atomic Heart is a colorful title with a gripping story and powerful dialogue. Its universe between Bioshock and Wolfenstein absorbs you and takes you on a fast-paced adventure alongside a damn crazy and rather well-written hero. Not everything is perfect and everything remains fairly standard, but the experience is devilishly satisfying thanks to its effective gameplay, well-thought-out puzzles, lots of humor and fun. A really good explosive cocktail!- Carole Quintaine

Mario Golf Super Rush is a game with effective gameplay, as demanding as it is accessible, and which offers a beautiful experience to all golf lovers. The Speed Golf mode is a success, and it brings a real dynamism to the game. Nevertheless, the solo mode is less generous than we would have hoped for and a little too dirigiste. It is a game that will not mark the minds despite its qualities because it remains a little too classic- Carole Quintaine

Even though Man of Medan is far less inspired than its studio predecessor Until Dawn, it offers an enjoyable horrific atmosphere, with good ideas and well thought out sequences. Unfortunately we would have appreciated more surprises and an extended lifespan, which would have given us the time to be really afraid. Everything is going too fast and we have the feeling that the story is sloppy. Too bad because this first chapter of The Dark Pictures has a good potential, but all it does is just scratch the surface.- Carole Quintaine

The Callisto Protocol is a very good horror game with a fast pace and brutal and solid gameplay. Its oppressive atmosphere offers an intense experience, which will put players to the test and give them serious cold sweats, facing abominable creatures. The title from Striking Distance is classic but devilishly effective, it doesn't bother with frills and it works very well like that. A really good "old fashioned" horror game as we like them.- Carole Quintaine

Captain Tsubasa Rise of New Champions is a good football game, accessible but not devoid of some subtleties of gameplay that will please the most accustomed. Beyond the Versus and online modes, the nostalgics will be happy to relive the adventures of Tsubasa faithfully traced while the New Heros mode is generous and pushes to chain the matches at the heart of an original story. There are still AI problems in the field that are relatively annoying and things can get repetitive. Overall satisfying.- Carole Quintaine

Maneater is a good blow-off, really fun and very pleasant to take in hand. The game from Tripwire Interactive does not take itself seriously and offers a good dose of black humor and satisfying activities. The evolution system of the shark works perfectly. Nevertheless, the game quickly becomes repetitive and its lifespan lacks generosity. Too bad because it is really nice!- Carole Quintaine

More than 20 years after its released on PlayStation 1, Medievil is back from the dead on PS4. Unfortunately, it looks much more like a remastered version than a full fledged remake. It shines with colorful graphics and spooky atmosphere, but its gameplay remains too rigid, and its mechanics haven't aged well. A title reserved for fans of the license or lovers of Halloween and «The Nightmare Before Christmas».- Carole Quintaine

Gotham Knights is a good game. Gotham is sublime and the four characters offer rich gameplay, with four distinct styles. The narration is mastered and we take real pleasure in discovering or rediscovering the slightly reworked story of the Court of Owls, alongside the well-written heroes. The secondary activities are quite repetitive but others explore the lore pleasantly. Apart from a capricious camera and a few dated elements, we're having a great time there. Even without Batman.- Carole Quintaine

Biomutant offers real freedom but that does not manage to give you the feeling of embarking on a great journey. The RPG component is very satisfying with many elements to improve our hero, and the mutations are really cool but the gameplay is a bit soft and the overall experience lacks density and finish and it feels a bit hollow under this colorful packaging. A nice game but it lacks scope.- 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

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

WindBound is a nice game, offering a pleasant mystical adventure with a good craft system and an artistic direction that is neat but too repetitive despite good ideas, most borrowed from Zelda Breath of The Wild by the way. The game has a potential that it cannot exploit - it does not go far enough.- Carole Quintaine

Forspoken is a disappointing game in so many ways. Dated on a whole bunch of points like the visual, it can't keep the player in suspense because of a badly told story and an open world that is unfortunately poor and hopelessly empty overall. The title of Luminous rings hollow despite successful gameplay and a universe that could have been much more generous and provided.- Carole Quintaine

Alone in the Dark is a good game, typical of 90s horror experiences. We find the intention of the original game from 1992, with a particularly careful atmosphere, a gripping story and good old-fashioned puzzles, even if we find the same mechanics quite a few times. Too bad the fights aren't enjoyable to play, that's the big negative point of the game, much more boring than certain dated aspects. In short, Alone in the Dark 2024 is a good old-fashioned horror game, with a lot of charm, which manages to seduce even if it does not live up to the original. At the same time, it's difficult to hit the mark for a horror game in a world where Resident Evil 4 Remake or Alan Wake 2 already exist.- Carole Quintaine

Daymare 1998 looks like a vintage game. Its atmosphere reminds of some great Resident Evil vibes, but we would have more risk taking, because the general proposition deeply lacks identity to pay homage to the series created by Shinji Mikami. Gameplay perhaps a little less rigid and more original ideas would have played in its favor. Nevertheless, the 90’s lovers will feel some old, dusty, but charming memories.- Carole Quintaine

Godfall is a game that features nervous gameplay and an extremely satisfying progression system. It is also sumptuous. Nevertheless, it does not cover much ground and it quickly becomes a repetitive game. In addition, it has technical problems namely frequent falls of framerates which considerably spoil the experience. Too bad!- Carole Quintaine

Fort Solis is a good horror game, oppressive as you wish! Well told, gripping, it offers a solid horror experience, albeit short, but intelligently ramping up in intensity. The fact of not being able to run makes everything a little slow but in the end it sticks to the universe. In the radius of the weak points, we will note the presence of useless QTEs because they have no impact and the card is unreadable, but everything is effective. A very good moment of horror!- Carole Quintaine

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League offers a gripping story with strong characters but is partially spoiled by repetitive and uninteresting missions! The game is fun in co-op, we enjoy playing because the gameplay is nervous and satisfying but the progression is so boring that we come away mostly disappointed. Rocksteady's game will not leave an impression like Arkham did unfortunately, and it's a shame.- Carole Quintaine

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3's single-player campaign offers effective moments but lacks pace overall. The open missions break the tension of the story and you have more of the sensation of playing a multiplayer experience. The freedom offered from the style of play is a bit illusory and what could have been a good idea does not work well here. It's still very good in terms of gameplay but we don't have the strength of the old solos and we're not carried away in the end, which is a shame. [Campaign Review Score = 65]- Carole Quintaine

Ghost Recon Breakpoint offers a vast universe, where the survival aspects have been strengthened from GR Widlands. If the game suffers from a perfectible AI and a clear feeling of "déjà-vu", it doesn’t take anything away from its effectiveness. It works well, especially in coop, while the PVP is viciously nervous. An imperfect title, but with great moments, and a huge potential if handled with care by Ubisoft in the coming months.- Carole Quintaine

Flashback 2 is not bad, far from it, but it does not live up to the Flashback legend even if the intention is the same. The feeling of the 90s is there and we have a nice atmosphere, it's often pretty and a lot of good memories come to the surface but the game lacks polish, we have technical problems, game design too and there are a lot of bugs that spoil the overall experience, in addition to a lack of variety in enemies. A game stuck in the 90s which could have been great but which lacks polish.- Carole Quintaine

The intention of Bok3nsit is laudable, Dawn of Fear is a nice tribute to the games of the late 90s and in particular Resident Evil. But the game would have deserved more care... It suffers from too many bugs and an obvious lack of personality: whether in environments or enigmas, everything seems hollow. Old fashioned technically and in the way is it played, it could have been saved by an atmosphere but the music and the script fail to retain attention. And it's definitively not scary...A big disappointment.- Carole Quintaine

Maiz is a good Puzzle Game, with a nice identity and clever puzzles! Its particularly neat atmosphere offers a pleasant and extremely satisfying experience intellectually. We can note a certain repetitiveness but that does not taint the overall pleasure. To be tested without hesitation, for a very nice moment of reflection.- 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
