While it is not perfect (scenes can be a little hard to read sometimes), Anarcute is a cute game based on a concept that is both fun and fresh. And even though it takes place in a cartoonish world, it manages to transport the player in the cities where the missions take place. If you don't know what to play during one of those long summer days, you could do a lot worse than giving Anarcute a shot.

Brain Vs. Brain proves the most accessible and competitive Big Brain Academy to date, thanks to asynchronous scoring tables online, but this program lacks some innovation as well as overall content to attract lots of students for a long time.

With Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, Gwent evolves through an exciting adventure that brilliantly enriches the Witcher universe in video games. We regret, however, the classicism of sometimes painful exploration phases.

On Nintendo Switch, Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition is pretty much the same action packed and repetitive beat-em-all it was on Wii U four years ago, with some improvements on the technical side and all the DLC. For Zelda or Muso fans, it's still a joyful way to blow off steam. But if you own it on Wii U or 3DS, there's only one feature you'll notice, split screen on portable mode.

The Showdown Effect requires some time to be tamed, but its gore action, thrilling pace and voluntarily stupid tone will probably help you forget the tears of your initial failures. Then, you'll be one more to psychology torture the noobs and veto their right to existence. It's a game that's designed for short bursts of action, a few games at a time before your brain melts down.

Monster Hunter Stories comes back with a pretty good remaster on more platforms than only 3DS and mobiles, so that the full series can be enjoyed with its sequel, Wings of Ruin. Players who like RPGs such as Pokémon will find many hours of enjoyment taking care of their Monsties and levelling them up, something every fan of the Monster Hunter franchise always dreamed of. Sadly, the game can get pretty tedious and repetitive in the long run because of its gameplay loop and structure. Although this remaster gives a more modern take on its original visuals, adds english and japanese voiceovers, with all the DLCs, it doesn't really go beyond that. It is nonetheless a good way to wait for the very promising Monster Hunter Wilds coming in 2025n as long as you enjoy Pokémon-like games.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar ends up being a solid RPG with some deep combat systems and interesting components, in a lovely universe. But beware of the fact that it needs you to grind a lot, and so accept redundancy and a few huge breaks in the progression, and that some crashing issues and bugs can truly poison your experience on PS4.

Remake of a 10 years old game, mixing shoot them up and fighting games, Senko No Ronde 2 provides a lot of fun despite some online issues.

Despite its short life (three hours only), The Room is probably one of the best puzzle games in recent years.

Skylanders Trap Team offers a nice new feature with its monsters' capture possibilities. Kids will love it, even if it's not as interesting as last year's SWAP figures in terms of gameplay... and beware : you'll have to buy all the new Trap Team figures and all the new traps to finish everything. That could easily become a huge trap for your money.

Resident Evil Revelations offers a good port of the original game. The game now has a solid 1080p/60fps and some bonuses in Raid mode. That being said, if you have already played it, the purchase is highly dispensable.

Détective Pikachu has a cool concept and a truly great title character. That being said, the game is way too easy for most players. But it can make a fun first Adventure game for young kids.

Every expansion should be like this! Solid content and gameplay for a low investment. If you like Wolfenstein: The New Order, you will enjoy The Old Blood.

Skyrim is back, in VR and this time on PC. The game is still a great RPG, and the virtual reality adds a true value, even if those controls feel clunky and the graphics look old. Especially when compared to Fallout 4 VR.

King Art manages to install an atmosphere and story that will capture the attention of Agatha Christie styled novels. But they will still have to make do with a less-than perfect interface, and some bugs. More importantly, one will have to trust while waiting for the second and third episodes to be released... and given the price of the lot, maybe it's best to wait for them to come out.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 offers a fun experience for Marvel fans young and old. Its only problem comes from the fact that the LEGO video games formula is starting to show its age. Warner and TT Games should really start thinking about changing things up a bit.

The target audience for this Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is clearly nostalgic people. This remaster is a nice starter to wait for the main course: Age of Empires IV. Despite bugs such as a shameful pathfinding and some zoom problems, this is not a lazy version. Graphics and audio improvements are enough to once again enjoy one of the most important games in PC games History.

Hardspace shows all is potential with time. A real puzzle game which is important to analyze the environment to find solutions. But Hardspace : Shipbreaker show his limit very quickly with no adventure or by the assets who are very redundant. But if you like to take time to resolve brain teaser then you will like the game.

Sending the player to the heart of the horrors of World War II inside Warsaw Ghetto, My Memories of Us uses the conflict to tell a beautiful story of childhood friendship, telling this part of history through their own eyes. With its classic mechanics and some inaccurate collisions, Juggler's game still have a certain charm thanks to its beautiful artistic direction and soundtrack.

Combat is not as tactical nor as deep as one could expect from a RPG. Moreover, befriending Yo-kai can be pretty frustrating at times. However, the game tells a light story full of hope, laughs and happiness. Discovering Yo-kai Watch is a very enjoyable experience that we gladly invite you to try.

Luftrausers is a nervous and exciting arcade game, and at 9$ it's a really good deal.

Resident Evil Village Gold Edition is the ultimate version of RE8. While the main game may be disappointing, the additional content Shadows of Rose is surprisingly good. The balance between exploration, action and horror. You liked the house Beneviento ? You'll love what Capcom created for this DLC.

A more powerful medicine won't necessarily work better, but as long as the traditional formula stands, it's interesting to experiment with new treatments.

Project Diva X keeps the same very good gameplay, but the playlist is short and there are no more musical clips.

NEO: The World Ends With You will keep you hooked with its pretty universe, charming characters, captivating story and its very nice manga/anime design. It has a lot of interesting RPG mechanics that connect you with its world, but in terms of battle system, it is still a bit limited and repetitive.

It's a big, bad game for a supposedly Little Battlers eXperience, alas limited to a local multiplayer environment.

Robinson The Journey is a true VR game, and not just a simple "experience". It's a good example of what PlayStation VR is capable of, as the "Welcome to Jurassic Park" effect is very nice. But the game still suffers some technical and gameplay issues... and beware: the climbing feature is cool but painful for your neck and your back.

For its first entry on Switch, the Trials series could sure have delivered a stronger result. keeping the fun and everlasting challenge of the genre, Trials Rising's Switch version suffers from some clear lacks that might not bring the same pleasure as the original game : with a 30 fps display and some basic backgrounds, the game might sometimes frustrate a little more than it should.

Box Out! is a good little indie game. It is demanding and quite difficult, but the system is fun and works well. Too bad it lacks a bit of atmosphere.

Playing the boss, in other words the villain, proves a comical, enjoyably cruel, mind crushing experience. The management tasks may become deadly repetitive, since Goblinz Studio's business plan is deliberately lacking some deeper perspective, but Legend of Keepers should deserve the title of the lightest dungeon game, as simple - and good - as that.

Wild Hearts is indeed a serious competitor to Monster Hunter. If the game is not so different from its model, the form is another story. The Karakuri completely change the dynamics of hunting and exploring and make the whole thing very dynamic. It's extremely generous, there's plenty to play for many, many hours and it's well written, as surprising as that is for the genre. Alas, even if Wild Hearts has a beautiful Japanese art direction, technically it's clearly not up to scratch. Not only are there glitches almost everywhere, but the game can be very ugly at times, especially because of its droopy textures. A few patches will therefore be necessary to get the most out of it. Too bad, we were close to an absolutely huge title. However, if you get past the not-so-sexy packaging, Wild Hearts might just surprise you.

Konami opted for prudence with TMNT The Cowabunga Collection and it was the best thing to do. This compilation brings together the most iconic old Ninja Turtles games but offers the opportunity for those who want to add a modern touch. Fans will be ecstatic with the impressive museum. A must have.

Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment is more than just a spin-off, it’s an integral part of the main timeline, even if it takes a few creative liberties. It’s also an excellent and generous action game for the Nintendo Switch 2. The combat is highly dynamic, with hundreds of enemies swarming the screen amidst stunning visual effects, and it boasts a deep gameplay system that requires time to fully master. Despite its menus, some awkward game design choices, and repetitiveness, Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment is well worth the time and effort. Its gameplay, surprises, and significance within the Zelda universe make it a game worth experiencing.

Nearly one year after the release of Kingdom Hearts III, Tetsuya Nomura and his team deliver a potpourri of various experiences, including a revisited version of the game's ending and the Limit Cut episode, in which we see again some cherished and familiar faces. In fact, the main complain we can address to the Re:Mind DLC is its expensive price.

Rules is a good way to continue the story of Life is Strange 2. This chapter that makes us make some tough decisions regarding the situation can be depressing, soothing, shocking, moving and we are really looking forward to know where Sean and Daniel are taken next time.

F1 Manager 2022 succeeds in its first steps on next-gen consoles. There is plenty of material to keep you busy and spend hours in front of it. However, there is a certain redundancy after a while.

Pro Cycling Manager 2019 remains the reference for cycling games in the hearts of players. But he should question himself to not run out of steam.

Despite its childish look, Pikuniku tells us a revolutionary tale of a random guy joining a resistance group fighting against an evil corporation. Funny until the end, Devolver's new game may mostly count on its strange physics, even to the point of frustration when the game asks for strong platformer parts. The two-player mode might balance a very short length though.

Gathering Storm is a good extension, and the ecology/pollution is a good surprise. On an other hand, diplomacy and the National Congress is lack of depth.

The return of Company of Heroes is full of nice surprises. Sadly, the single player part is clearly missing, the promising single player campaign does not bring any challenge. Fortunately the co-op and multiplayer are excellent.

If Gear.Club Unlimited can't compete with games like Forza Motorsport or GranTurismo and isn't as fun as a Mario Kart, it's good enough to be considered as a good way to entertain players in need of driving games on Nintendo Switch.

Cloupunk is visually stunning and has a interesting cast, telling us some good stories. It has some issues, though, when it comes to interactions and exploration. But if you're into Cyberpunk genre, you will probably find exactly what you wanted.

A tiny little bit less brilliant than the first episode, Atlas Mugged is still hilarious, and inspired. Back from the dead, meet Handsome Jack, a man who definitely knows his value.

Sushi Striker suffers only one major concern on Nintendo Switch; it is not suitable for gaming in the living room and on a big screen. Designed to be tactile, the best way to play it will be in nomadic mode. This problem aside, we are in front of a good puzzle game that has been carefully developed by Indieszero. A great way to kill time.

Homeworld 3 is a good game and a very enjoyable space opera, but it seriously lacks consistency nonetheless.

Pokémon Unite is an easy to play and well-designed MOBA that inventively translates mechanics of its license to adapt them to the genre. While Pokémon fans will enjoy playing this game, MOBA enthusiasts aren't the primary target since its casual aspect prevails.

Wolfenstein II on Nintendo Switch is an impressive port, as soon as you play it on portable mode and not on TV mode.

Bugsnax could have been a silly and divisive game from Octodad's creators. But in the end, underneath its weirdness, it is a tasty experience of hunting, collecting and puzzles with some great writing ans characters, that can entertain everyone for a few hours.

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond is undeniably a strong entry in the series. It captures the core elements that made the franchise a classic 18 years ago, while adding a few new twists. The joy of revisiting those nostalgic sensations in a fresh adventure is undeniable, but it also works against the game. Unlike Metroid Dread, which successfully modernized the series' formula, Metroid Prime 4 Beyond plays it safe, sticking to the familiar without taking bold risks. Beyond a few new abilities, features like the desert setting and the motorcycle feel lackluster, and its more linear, guided design feels like a step back compared to previous titles. However, Metroid Prime 4 still stands out as a highly enjoyable adventure, and arguably one of the most visually impressive games on the Nintendo Switch 2. Its stunning visuals and hauntingly beautiful soundtrack are sure to leave a lasting impression.

Call of Duty Infinite Warfare took risks, some successful, others less. The multiplayer is still extremely efficient, the Zombie mode is fun and the single player campaign offers impressive Hollywood-like sequences... But it remains "ordinary" and not surprising at all.

The Missing is a Limbo-like game where you have to die to resolve the puzzles. Even if it's too easy to finish and not very convincing technically speaking, this game has a lot to offer in terms of story and atmosphere, brilliant.

Nintendo Switch Sports is the worthy heir of Wii Sports. With a tasty mix of nostalgic and innovative disciplines, the game capture the magic of the first two games in the series.

Here's a premiere that puts a smile on our faces (a shy one, but a smile anyway). LEGO Horizon Adventures is a pleasant surprise, which struggles to convince completely, but does not lack potential. Long-time fans will certainly enjoy discovering this retelling of Horizon Zero Dawn, which also presents itself as a half-fun open door to the universe. Even if the whole thing lacks aplomb, particularly in its handling, the experience doesn't fall short. What's more, Guerrilla Games and Studio Gobo deliver a fine copy, both visually and aurally. We love the cheerful cast, who play the game to the hilt, in both VO and VF. Given the promise of such a reinterpretation, especially when we know what the LEGO franchise is capable of, we wouldn't say no to a sequel or, why not, other forays into Sony's universe or those of other publishers!

A Little Golf Journey cleverly mixes 3D platformer mechanics with a standard golf approach to deliver a relaxing yet challenging adventure, with many secrets to find. If only the camera was not so twisted.

Behind Tohu's beautifully detailed, crisp yet intriguing universe stand some imaginative handcrafted puzzles that integrate brilliantly both into the environments and the rather straightforward, if not square story.

Oddworld Soulstorm is a strong follow-up to New'n'Tasty!. It's bigger, very clever, offers some some great new mechanics and its world is still incredibly charming and relevant. But, sadly, it lacks some polish and can be very frustrating because of its bugs or A.I. issues. Only the bravest will succeed in saving all the Mudokons, But in the end, it will be worth it.

For a first draft from Milestone on this license, this Hot Wheels Unleashed is doing with a positive result. This is mainly due to a well-studied drive and rather well-designed circuits that respect the spirit of small friction cars. Once the driving is mastered, it is fun to go from boost to boost, studying the best way to use nitro and optimize trajectories. We can hope that this constitutes an encouraging basis to make it a real must-have on a future version. There are unfortunately too many flaws that reveal an imperfect finish.

Hitman 2 doesn't try to revolutionize the formula of the previous game. And it's totally acceptable as it is still efficient. There's a lot things to do/observe/infiltrate/kill/hide/use in each huge and beautiful level, and it is indeed a great assassin simulation, even if the game has not many things more to offer in terms of gameplay compared to its predecessor, and feels a bit like a "1.5 version". Accept its rules and you will be pleased, for a long time.

Lilly Looking Through is a short but very good Samorost-like adventure game, with beautiful animations and tricky puzzles, and it looks perfect to be played in family, even if the end is so frustrating.

With its intriguing universe and vertiginous aerial combat, Freedom Wars seemingly possessed all the weapons to win the battle of the monster hunters. But the narrative is slowly being pushed in the background by the repetitive flow of missions required to craft more and more powerful equipment. Fortunately, the gameplay is both sharp and deep thanks to the polyvalence of the thorn, which opens a tactical approach that perfectly gets into cooperation, multiplayer representing the main reason to take part in these never-ending conflicts.

There are so many shitty comics adaptations that it's almost impossible not to like Walkind Dead: Assault. It's elegant, easy to play, and visually truthful to the comics.

Whether RTS stands here for "Retro Tactical Skirmishing" or "Relentless Tactile Savagery", Crush Your Enemies undoubtedly follows a bold approach to the (f)art of war.

OK MXGP 2019 does the job and it does it pretty well. Evidenced by the new free mode offered to players. But the rest continues to capitalize on gains that are starting to age. Today, you have to create stories around the races and make them more realistic by reducing the line between the real and the virtual.

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a grotesque battle royale dressed as a party-game, which gives hopes to 60 poor candidates to triumph over all the others every five minutes or so. Fun, colorful and justly unfair, Mediatonic's game just need to bridge the distance with new stages and a better interface with its second season.

The Suicide of Rachel Foster is primarily focusing on its chilling atmosphere and a subtle writing between two characters rather than spread jump scares everywhere as we're used to with most of horror games. Gameplay-wise, the game might seem a bit classic though and the protagonist is too sluggish.

The remaster is a little bit lazy, but eight years after, Valkyria Chronicles is still a great tactical-RPG to discover.

Tropico 5 is a nice city builder. It is not as deep as fans would like, but is still enjoyable to play, fun and quite nice graphically.

Wii Sports Club is a mixed bag. All sports benefit from the improved precision of the Wii MotionPlus - except the "K.O.tic" boxing - but only baseball and golf exploit the GamePad in a really innovative way. Moreover, there is a lack of new content as a whole, despite the funny training exercices. That said, the online matches and regional clubs' friendly competition guarantee that members will keep coming.

This adventure card game was designed with the love of Tolkien's licence. It is not flouted, but to fully appreciate it, you must still adhere to his world. Otherwise, we end up with a card game with poor content. We'll have to wait for for future additions. There is already an additional campaign, but it's not provided for free... Without this condition, we end up with a good card game, but no added value that makes it stand out from the competitors, especially free in a large number of cases.

Beyond the poetic eloquence of such delicate handmade animation and moving musical compositions, the main tour de force is hidden into the puzzles that subtly reflect the story's themes. A modest, yet humbling luminous piece of art.

Aladdin and The Lion King is a well-thought compilation : with only two games (plus some of their handheld variations), Nighthawk put so much extra content to please fans of both the movies and the games : interviews, guide books taken from the movies... We wish we would have more games to play, but the intention is really there.

FAR: Changing Tide is a nice journey through a flooded world on a ship that becomes one of the game's protagonists. The visuals are awesome, and the OST and sound design are in a league of their own. Just don't expect any challenge or much action in what is essentially a very calm experience.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is an interesting episode, with lots of content and a still gripping story. However, it does not revolutionize the series and we will definitely wait for the 3rd part for it.

Even if those who know the first episode can feel a bit disappointed because of the lack of new ideas, Reigns: Her Majesty is still an great way to live like a queen, thanks to its atmosphere, its funny universe and the quality of its narrative.

DOOM is a partial success : the singleplayer campagn is a glorious tribute to the first Doom, but the multiplayer is... boring.

Octopath Traveler II is a very well finished game, with a beautiful realization and music. But the game is also a bit lazy and feels like a big DLC of the first game.

Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition is far from perfect, but it's an honest remaster. Yes, the game has aged, but its charm still works today. A game to discover and rediscover, despite the new version's even more striking flaws.

Minecraft Dungeons can be considered as a good way, for kids, to try a dungeon-crawler. Very cute, very simple, efficient, that game just lacks some depth and tasks that would urge players to keep on playing after finishing the, quite short, main campaign.

ARMS takes a fresh look at the old fighting game. By giving it the twist of friendly Nintendo games, it allows everyone to enjoy its new way of fighting each other. However, its roster of look-alikes make us think that the game certainly won't last long for the most demanding players.

Compilation of two visual novels that came out 10 year ago in Japan, Muv-Luv offers some pleasant adventures in which you will enjoy trying to seduce girls close to your avatar, even if their designs feel a bit old and games a bit repetitive.

FIFA 19 has a lot of content and features that will entertain players offline and online for hours. It still has authenticity with what is needed to let us feel we have control over a broadcasted football game. It is a better version than FIFA 18 but it is still too keen on delivering a too spectacular soccer experience at all costs.

The Ancient Gods Part 2 is a good conclusion to DOOM Eternal, with some funny new features that will please the players.

A bit short but fun, Automatron doesn't fail in bringing a new way to entertain with its robot creation system that feels kind of infinite and offer some more possibilities to clean up the whole map of Fallout 4.

This new GT has many facets, but it manages to disappoint its fans and to be very perfectible, especially on the thing he wanted to excel at: the online races.

TOEM is a peaceful and funny journey through the eyes of a joyful photographer. With many surprises to discover and folks to help, TOEM is a (very) short but relaxing adventure, which controls could have deserved better care.

Old School Musical is much more than a funny homage to the 8 and 16 bit era. With a strong content of almost 50 tracks and a well-written story mode, La Moutarde's rhythm game delivers a strong content, but you will have to quickly switch to hard mode to face a real challenge. Too bad its classic mechanics avoid taking risks, otherwise it would have been an instant classic on its own.

A good PS4 version with all previously released content, better graphics, but still the same problematic netcode.

If Planet Alpha is not as good and powerful as Limbo or Inside, it is indeed a gorgeous game with some clever ideas. Without a word, it invites you to a Sci-Fi trip, with some great narration and mechanics, that you should not refuse.

Despite its punitive difficulty and the rigidity, John Wick Hex remains a good adaptation of the movies. Artistic direction and the way you go into action are enjoyable and the pleasure of having managed to get out of a critical situation is a real satisfaction.

NBA Live 19 is slowly closing the gap with NBA 2K19 the giant. The game chose a more spectacular path, more fun to basketball fans and it's pretty successful.

221 tunes, a local and online multiplayer mode and gameplay with buttons! This ultimate version of Theathrythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call, is a must-have for Final Fantasy fans.

Beyond the obvious Minecraft inspiration, Dragon Quest Builders is based on a solid, subtly ironic narrative which creates not only reason for these building tasks, but also life into this 3D rendition of Alefgard. And it gets sharper on Nintendo Switch with the Great Sabrecub that literally cuts through the potentially more pixel arted Terra Incognita mode, even if such retro nostalgic additions can't counterbalance the limited sharing options and the lack of multi player, thus consolidating this fundamentally solitary experience as a whole.

It is indeed a very good episode with stunning and huge environments, loaded with some breathtaking crowds, but it probably lacks variety and coherence that made Sapienza such a great place.

Silence is a superb adventure game. Visually gorgeous, it succeeds more with its charming story and atmosphere than with its pure point'n click skills (the game is really short and easy), but this is a beautiful trip, an interactive tale you'll maybe want to share with your kids.

If you have already played Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted, Rivals will look really too much similar. It is actually like a mix of those two games. But if you don't, it will be as always a nice game to play.

Puyo Puyo Champions, as its name suggests, first addresses the most passionate who will have the audacity and ability to play it online against fierce opponents. However, despite its multiplayer focus, this new Puyo Puyo is still home to the jovial and fun puzzle game it has always been, in its most fun, colorful and cute look on this date.

MLB 14: The Show is the best experience for the fans of this sport. This version is similar to previous episodes, but will seduce fans with its beautiful graphics and its impressive content.

Very good-looking and enjoyable with is nervous, but easy to understand, gameplay, Matterfall feels great but doesn't offer so much to do and ends too quickly. But if you're a scoring addict, it's definitely for you.
