With Fast Racing Neo, Shin'en signs a good playable tribute to F-Zero. Even if it has some flaws, it's a perfect occasion for all the fans to have good speed sensations before the master comes back in a modern Nintendo console near you.

Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin is an entertaining way to wait for Psychonauts 2 and a quite good VR experience. It can be considered too short and too easy, but it's still funny and capable of letting everyone spend some good time with Raz.

Did Milestone want to release his Ride 4 absolutely before the end of the year in order to finish the PS4 / Xbox One cycle? No one will probably have the answer in the near future. Still, if the game is improving well on technical aspects (graphics, modeling and AI) it has lost all the mood that its previous opus had managed to generate. It is now a game of motorcycles on circuits that merges into the category.

Destiny is not really the revolutionary FPS we were waiting for, but it is still a good one. The gameplay, art direction, graphics and musics are fantastic, but right now the game lacks content at a high level and you can get bored easily from its repetitiveness.

Developers have put all efforts into making a game that will accompany the players during all summer and even after. Very solid and more profound than it seems, the combat system benefits of dynamic cut scenes during special attacks that make every battle enjoyable. Alas, the first half of the game might seem too bland and the egg searching and hatching concept quite tedious, but there's no doubt that many players will get fun out of it.

Punch Line is a quite good visual novel with an interesting story and a lot of fan service.

This free-to-play version of Tekken is a very good deal on the PSN. Of course it is free... but it also features beautiful graphics, more accessible gameplay and a lot of online gamers available to compete with.

Quotation forthcoming.

Two of the best action games of the PS2 now in HD, with trophies and touch controls for the PS Vita... if you have already played those games before, it's not essential, but if not, just buy this collection.

Like a herbarium, Hey! Pikmin is a conscientious, wonderful, tactile, yet flat transposition of the series' singular gameplay, mostly preserved along the way. While some depth, even life was lost in the process, this lateral perspective lets Captain Olimar explore the vertical dimension of this feral world rather quietly and cleverly, carrying its delicate ecological message to new heights as well.

With Sea of Thieves, Rare has created the basis for a truly exciting formula. This pirates sand box is simply charming, funny, visually stunning and so original...Unfortunately, it lacks an essential element, namely a sufficient launch content to captivate us at least a few months. Until the first content update in three months, the progression is currently a bit frustrating and repetitive, and many players will probably abandon ship earlier than expected.

Tennis World Tour 2 may look like a simple update, but proves to be a really deep overhaul, both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view. That translates into a much punchier feel with a more authentic rendering overall, thanks to a subtle management of timing and faults. While some lingering assistance still generates imprecision, filling such loopholes surely belongs to Big Ant's work. The Australian studio thus shaped the best tennis simulation on current consoles at least, because of far more experienced competitors on PC. Hence Nacon can develop legitimate eSports ambitions, as long as it stands away from balance or greedy issues through an artificial cards system for instance.

With Assasin's Creed Valhalla, Ubisoft tries to synthesize a decade-long series, thanks to clever adjustments on its RPG rhythm. With a brilliant lightning, the game visually stands out, but sometimes fail to really follow on its technical part, with messy AI and way too many loading times which can break the momentum of the adventure. Rich, dense, but also time-consuming, Assassin's Creed Valhalla still offers a good run, thanks to its historical setting and beautiful landscapes.

Orwell's Animal Farm is a pleasant mix of Visual Novel and management experience, with some lovely visuals, music and a very good narrator. The fact that it allows you to retell the story is interesting. But as it still offers a good way to know what the book has to say, it can feel redundant, and a bit foggy in its intentions and mechanics.

A lazy port. The game is always awesome and pleasant, but nothing has changed since 2010. The only good news is that there are almost no bugs.

Playing Fitness Boxing won't earn you a title match at Caesar's Palace nor will it give you hours of fun with your friends. But it will help you get in shape/stay fit and that's what it was made for. Fitness Boxing is a good fitness app which could have been even better with more precise motion controls.

Iridium Studios makes a striking comeback with People of Note. While the game isn’t quite perfect and could do with a little more spice in its gameplay, it shows real boldness and completely captivates with an art style that fully embraces its concept. The combat system could have used even more polish to make it more engaging. On the other hand, we’re treated to a heartfelt adventure—somewhat clichéd, but well worth checking out.

It is now a constant, with Arkanoid Eternal Battle, Pastagames offers a very nice reinvention of a great video game classic. Those who in their younger years broke bricks so that the little ship Vaus could carry out its mission will find their 1986 game as if they were in a game center, in addition to a Neo mode that brings enough novelties and good ideas to boost interest. Finally, the Battle Royale, a great novelty here, fits perfectly to Taito's cult title, especially when the whole is supported by visuals and electro-futuristic music of the best effect.

Psikyo Shooting Stars Bravo gathers the two Gundbird and Samurai Aces series into one friendly compilation. The danmaku genre is much more present here than in the previous Alpha version, which is a real plus for fans. Too bad the game still lacks real display and tutorial options once more.

Proteus is an experience for people who are stressed, anxious, nervous, the depressed... It's a little expensive, but the remedy works.

While the game does not revolutionize the genre and it is not free of defects (repetitive, lack of clarity at times), it brings a little more subtlety than its predecessor in terms of gameplay.

Vanquish is still an excellent and original TPS game, even if this PC port suffers some technical issues.

Eric Chahi's Out of this World still comes back on one of the last consoles which stills lacks it. Here is the same adventure you experienced on countless occasions, this time on Switch. All the 20th Anniversary Edition are there, which means that you can switch the HD filter on the go, change the difficulty to keep some kind of mental health, and enjoy modern sound effects. There you have it: it's Out of this World, on Switch.

Anyone who expects Lords of Shadow 2 and would like to know more about the mythology developed by Mercury Steam has to go through this title. If the 3DS version has not already landed in your hands, you can rely on this HD port.

Awakening offers a fresh new look to the Black Ops 3 multiplayer. The new maps are well designed and bring originality and variety. Fans will also appreciate the return of one of the most beloved maps of Black Ops 2 with "Skyjacked".

The Long Journey Home is a nice spatial game that suffers from repetition.

A Puzzle game that will make you genuinely laugh if you play it with some friends on a couch or online. Some great ideas make Tricky Towers one of the good surprises of the genre.

Aragami is a good stealth game, with a nice use of the shadow zones. The narration is good, the visuals too, but the game suffers some technical issues.

As expected from Big Ant, AO Tennis 2 looks more like a big update of the previous version than a brand new episode, and once again largely relies on the community to complete the content. While still lacking some tennis expertise, the australian studio managed to optimize the gameplay, that finally shows its potential full of delicacy - in every sense of the word. The main additions focused on immersion emphasize this laudable quest for authenticity, although their rather limited impacts tend to exhibit the superficial side of this production, yet unfinished, but built on solid bases.

Batman: The Telltale Series Episode 5 gives players a satisfying ending to its first season. There are cool action scenes, each story arc gets its conclusion and the door is left open for a season 2. We just just wish the game had gone full "Bruce Wayne simulator" and had made players struggle to keep Bruce's super hero identity a secret. Also, it's high time Telltale fixed its games' technical issues. An adventure game in which almost half the lines aren't translated is just bad show.

Ashen is a good Dark Souls like but its open world feature are its weakness.

The Sinking City Is a pretty good adventure game, with a good universe, but the open world feature is annoying and the game suffers from multiple graphic diseases.

Really pleasant on an artistic perspective, Back to Bed is a more than decent reflection game, not too difficult in that it uses its environments' weirdness pretty well to keep us interested.

If Nintendo Switch is not a PS4 or an Xbox One, DOOM succeeds, by making some sacrifices, to stay the almost same as it was on its initial release. Especially on TV, it feels like a downgraded experience but is definitely a great shooter that's worth it if you haven't played it or you feel the desire to kill demons wherever you go.

With this new Switch port, The Office Quest might find a new audience: with this very fun parody of a splenetic and standardised office space, 11 Sheep's point'n click delivers a universal message. Fun and caustic all the way, The Office Quest still suffers from a strong classicism that will make it a short trip for the genre veterans.

Chorus is a worthy Space Shooter, with very enjoyable gameplay, even if gets repetitive at some point. The real let down is the story which is quite boring, and told through weird means, like the inaudible thaughts of Nara. But there is a demo available, so try it before you buy it.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is still a fun ride for fans of Ray, Egon, Peter and Winston. And the fact that its upped resolution and framerate make it look better than ever doesn't hurt. It's just too bad that no new features were added and that the game lost its multiplayer mode. Let's just hope that Saber Interactive will keep its promise and add a new multiplayer mode soon.

With a fiendishly fun formula, a production with the greatest of care, and more technical matches, Mario Strikers Battle League is the perfect game for intense parties with friends. Fun times, and mocking around between friends are guaranteed.

Carried by the Layton family's experience in mystery, Katrielle starts her detective career with modern resolutions, such as the episodic investigation proceedings. But the cases and their protagonists ultimately lack depth, while the whole plot looks like a long introduction. The puzzles and mini games also appear less inspired, or bold, since Kat solves the most relevant riddles by herself anyway. Let's hope that she's keeping more tricks in her hat for the upcoming adventures.

Star Wars Battlefront is a good game, as it's a fun multiplayer experience that's really faithful to the movies, but it lacks a little bit of punch and variety.

BOXBOX! is not only a tribute to puzzle games of the past, its minimalist design unfolding into more elaborated forms thanks to a clever incubation at HAL Laboratory.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is a fun trip across the galaxy alongside comics' most famous motley crew. Eidos Montreal totally nailed the tone of this one and it's a pleasure to watch and hear the team evolve over time. The game's dialogue is very well written with some genuinely funny lines (and great voice acting). All the while telling a touching story. We just wish the game's combat would have been a bit more inspired and polished.

Trek to Yomi is a gorgeous 2.5D action game that pays a vibrant tribute to the films of Akira Kurosawa with an absolutely stunning and unique cinematic aesthetic. Unfortunately, the combat is not as good as we would have liked due to a lack of feeling and precision during the fights.

The Great War Western Front is a unique game. The game seems to be constantly juggling between historical veracity and the obligation to make it a playful work.

With Forza Horizon, Microsoft Games succeeds in blending the Forza spirit with open-world gameplay. It's an all-new atmosphere for racers to discover, with miles and miles of roads to race on with a true driving experience and sensations. But this new open-world philosophy could have been better exploited with more variety and fun, especially in multiplayer ; as is, it feels a little incomplete.

Risk of Rain is a survival shooter featuring interesting mechanisms, where you will have to make quick decisions. And it's even more fun if played with friends in co-op mode.

Both technical and brutal, Chivalry doesn't take itself too seriously (especially with an over-the-top sound design), and it's really playable. Its only true shortcoming comes from the network code that sometimes dies on you in the middle of a fight.

Little Nightmares is visually stunning, but it does not really come up with very interesting puzzles, and it ends a little quickly, leaving us a bit hungry.

King of Meat is undeniably one of the pleasant surprises of 2025. The game glows with contagious cheerfulness, so essential to party games. It offers a cooperative experience in a crazy setting, promising great runs with friends. The bold artistic direction is quite appealing, while its TV show concept has real long-term potential, as long as both the audience and the studio are invested. Despite gameplay that could be improved and an imaginative richness that struggles to fully translate into the environments, the challenge for Glowmade will be to offer content that is captivating enough to interest players and convince them to make the purchase, despite a price that is likely to be a barrier to entry, even for the curious.

With such fundamental narrative additions and rich locations to discover, Psychic Specters is undoubtedly the most complete, accomplished version of Yo-Kai Watch 2, underlining its role of Japanese culture's ambassador at the same time. Yet considering the substantial updates released for Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls, the decision to get this definitive edition will not only depend on what you possess, but will also reveal if your are possessed by Level-5's wicked franchise.

Between the walking simulator, and the video game experience, Lake is a contemplative title that takes advantage of rather well-written characters, and a system of dialogues enough impacting for us to think about the meaning of life and its priorities. No choice is better than the other, which means that the title really lets us choose what we want, without it having a positive or negative impact on the gaming experience. The sublime artistic direction, the incredible landscapes, and the chill soundtrack are a perfect setting for such a reflection. Lake could almost be reimbursed by social security because its soothing virtues are numerous. Unfortunately, a few bugs tarnish the picture, while we admit to having trouble releasing the 20 € requested for 6 hours of play, with very low replayability. In short, hop on Lake in a few months, after a few patches, and during a promo.

The Metal Gear Master Collection Vol.1 is nothing less than the ultimate compilation for all fans of the license. As its name suggests, it is only the first part of a collection, and therefore does not include all the games in the franchise. Nevertheless, it allows fans and the curious to play the first 5 games, notably MGS 1, 2 and 3, the triplet released on PS1 and PS2. Legendary episodes that, in essence, haven't aged a day, but which in form still show their age. If nostalgia speaks to you, if you're a hyper-fan or if you've had the audacity to miss out on the Metal Gear license, now's the time. On the other hand, don't expect anything more than simple ports and a ton of digital goodies that will only speak to lovers of the franchise. If you were hoping for remasters worthy of the PS5 or remakes, you'll have to wait for MGS Delta (3 remake), which will arrive much later.

Doing better than FIFA 21 was inevitable for FIFA 22. And the task has been accomplished, between a pleasant interface to handle, an ever more addicting Ultimate Team mode and more defensive gameplay this time around. But some flaws persist, others have emerged and overall the container remains the same from year to year. If EA has made the choice to reform the form this season, and under conditions that the patches improve and do not destroy what has been put in place, the developer will have to urgently look at the substance, which needs to be fleshed out.

With Sonic X Shadow Generations, SEGA brings back one of the best games ever created for the cult saga. This ultimate edition is worth the detour, especially for the new chapter devoted to Shadow, which offers more gameplay possibilities and a more exhilarating setting and rhythm than in the past. However, this chapter suffers from the comparison with Sonic Generations, which may seem old-fashioned to some player. It's far from being perfect, but it's a nice letter of intent about what the future of the license might hold.

More accessible than FIFA 14, FIFA World Cup: Brazil 2014 is a good way to celebrate football until the beginning of the real competition.

This new episode offers a huge place to explore and a nice challenge, even if the AI is still disappointing.

Wolfenstein II The New Colossus is a good FPS game and a good followup that will make you laugh and kill a lot of nazis... exactly what we expected, but it still has some flaws, like its mediocre level-design and maps.

Ride 5 is still a very good and beautiful game, rich in content, which will keep you busy for long hours if you are not afraid of its repetitive aspect. To advise without hesitation if you discover the license or for a recovery after a missed episode.

This enhanced version of Dead Nation, with some new content, is a still a good but repetitive action game.

Dying Light: The Beast attempts to reconnect with the original DNA that many players believed was altered by the second instalment. It features violent and impactful fights, an oppressive soundscape enhanced by Olivier Derivière's compositions, and stressful day/night cycles. This new Dying Light game defies convention to create an even stronger sense of immersion.

Really satisfying iOS version but the content is getting stale and lot of practice is needed to master it, even if the touch gameplay is effective.

Generous and hypnotic, Geometry Wars takes on a new dimension with superb graphics, 3D levels and new multiplayer modes. Too bad, however, that the Adventure mode is so difficult and that the quality of the soundtrack is not as good as we hoped.

Fortunately for players of Batman: The Telltale Series, Episode 4 is a lot better than Episode 3. Captivating, fast paced and full of famous characters (who are sometimes different from what comic fans are used to) the second to last episode of this episodic games is worthy of the player's time. It's just too bad that the game isn't fully translated for non-English speaking gamers.

Jurassic World Evolution is packed with qualities, especially for the fans of the Jurassic Park IP, but it lacks depth for now. As if the developers saved content to sell later as DLCs.

Goetia is a bewitching good point and click with a fantastic atmosphere and a few flaws. The difficulty of the whole experience can be repulsive to some players. But old school lovers who love to look around and read before finding a solution to a puzzle, will surely get what they want.

NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 improves on a quite a few aspects of the original game like game modes and gameplay mechanics. But its microtransaction model leaves a sour taste in the player's mouth. Unlocking great players takes a very long time and the game wants to get you to buy in-game credits. But if you're patient, or spending more money isn't a problem for you, you can have a lot of fun with NBA 2K Playgrounds 2.

If you've never played Until Dawn, go for it! Even if the price tag is still a bit high considering the changes. It's still one of the most beloved horror production, even after ten years, and his deserves his fame. It's, by far, the most good looking version available (PS5, PC) with huge improvements. If you've ever been on that ghost train, which successfully exploits the slasher genre, wait for a price drop. A pleasant remaster, yes, but not a complete remake.

Lara Croft and The Temple of Osiris offers a dynamic, atmospheric and fun adventure that reveals all of its potential in multiplayer sessions.

Hob reveals to be a satisfying experience. The level design is diverse and conveys a real appetite for exploration and puzzles. Alas, the fight mechanics aren't so engaging and the handheld mode is filled with technical issues.

This first DLC as Juli Kidman focuses on atmosphere and puzzles... and it is quite frightening! The gameplay mechanics are interesting too, but the game still suffers some AI and technical issues.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is not a very good arcade-style football game. But it has the Captain Tsubasa's signature that offers some epic moments during its matches, and everything fans need to be hooked, like two story modes and some basic but strong ways to play with friends offline or online. It's very simplistic, quickly repetitive, but also very very enjoyable, especially if you're in need of something less serious.

This is the Pïnball game you are looking for... especially if you are a Star Wars fan. There are 19 digital tables inspired by movies and animated series, a career mode with a lot of challenges, and you can experience them with the configuration that suits you the most en Switch (touch controls, vertical play, HD Rumble...), which makes Star Wars Pinball something very attractive, preferably on handheld mode.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is clearly a better game than the first Xenoverse was. Its story and universe have been fleshed out and its gameplay has been polished. Unfortunately its technical limitations refrains it from reaching its full potential.

Castle in the Darkness seems to have the best from the 8bit era. It's good-looking, plays fine, it has many bosses and secrets that people who loved playing this kind of games on NES will love. But it's also flawed by an erratic difficulty. There are too many instadeath spikes, sometimes impossible to notice, and checkpoints are sometimes really misplaced. Still an enjoyable action platformer that will probably not please everyone looking for a simple nostalgic trip.

The main pleasure is the fact that we have to face huge hordes of zombies. The feeling of surprise we can have during the movie of 2013 is intact. The main problem is the lack of content (not enough levels and chapters).

It is a true pleasure to discover a beloved franchise like Total War that uses the Trojan War as a background. It is a great RTS, with some fantastic artistic value and and a few novelties that make it really interesting for this series. Nevertheless, some mechanics like the economy are a bit under-exploited, especially in mid-game until the end. Difficulty feels very odd with enemies who use and abuse the agent system to sabotage your faction.

Maid of Sker is a well executed horror walking simulator, kind of basic but with a great atmosphere. Too bad that because of its very dumb enemies, it can't succeed in making you feel fear.

We.The Revolution is an interesting experience, but beyond that, the game pushes the player to make choices by following either the opinion of the different forces or himself. The scripted side of some trials and the frustrating side of Parisian life management do not necessarily help in immersion. But we must still salute the work done and We.The Revolution is a small oasis in the middle of a desert full of AAA titles.

Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Definitive Edition is a good way to (re)discover three legendary titles of the PS2 era. They're the same and yet very different in terms of visuals. But it's not really 100% good and even on PS5, it struggles to deliver a totally smooth experience. Not to mention that they feel a bit old if you talk about gameplay. Still effective, but be prepared.

The legend is still in there, but the remaster is so lazy.

Quotation forthcoming.

With its lovely visuals, grim atmosphere, compelling story and well-crafted system of choices that makes us go for more after the first run, Tokyo Dark is game that's worth the try.

Syberia Remastered is definitely faithful to the spirit of the original version. Although this new version includes some welcome modernizations, it builds on the foundations of the 2002 title to bring players today a cult French point-and-click adventure story. However, it's a shame that Microids didn't take the step of remaking the game to push the concept further and perhaps avoid some of the clunky mechanics and technical flaws. Nevertheless, the game remains sincere and offers a nostalgic journey that is still worth checking out in 2025.

Wii Party U features a generous amount of simple and varied minigames, just - if not exactly - like its predecessor. The GamePad introduces some clever ideas through the tabletop and asymmetrical house games, but those possibilities are not implemented as well into the board games, where the Wiimote remain the main tool to interact with the TV. Therefore, this Wii U version is more an addition than a real evolution.

Chivalry 2 is an enjoyable experience. The fun is omnipresent, and you can feel the mastery of your character and your weapon during all your progression. Unfortunately, many bugs (completely broken social system and multiple crashes) destroy the experience. Wait for a patch.

Through the Darkest of Times is a fantastic proposition and very much a necessary game to understand what it could have been like being a German, a human being, during these terrible years. Even if gameplay mechanics fall short, it's still very recommandable for anyone who needs a reminder and/or is interested in History.

10 Second Ninja is a nice action game which features good controls and addictive challenges. It's structured like Angry Birds but is not recommended to casual players.

Mario Tennis Fever marks the franchise's triumphant return on the Nintendo Switch 2. Camelot and Nintendo deliver a fun, family-friendly installment designed for short, accessible play sessions for all ages. From the matches and mini-games to the animation and the integration of the frenetic tennis rackets, everything is geared towards simple entertainment. However, this casual approach comes at the expense of a genuine challenge. The overly forgiving AI and the lack of real difficulty in any game mode will push players more towards multiplayer. But even then, the title will appeal more to those seeking fun and social experiences than to hardcore competitors.

Golf Peaks is the very same game which came out on any mobile phone store back in 2018. Without any new addition, Afterburn's puzzle game still delivers quite a dozen of pleasant challenges, thanks to its Joy-Con or touchscreen controls. Unfortunately, the game's difficulty remains unchanged, and those golf puzzles will be done in no time, leaving the player wanting for way much more.

A lovely but not flawless start. With some familiar elements and new additions that can make it feel quite fresh, this first episode shows some great potential, in terms of possibilities and challenges, for what's to come. But beware of its awkward AI and loading times that can really, really be boring. Some things never change, one would say.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar Realms of Ruin stands out for its visual quality and immersion in the Warhammer universe, with a nice narrative single-player campaign and notable accessibility for new players. The lack of content could impact the game's longevity.

Warriors Orochi 3 for Wii U is graphically a little below the PS3 and 360 versions, and the new content is not so great, but it is still very good and offers a coop mode in which each player plays on his own screen (TV/GamePad), which is a good addition.

Burnout Paradise Remastered is a lazy portage of his illustrious elder. If we are happy to have the most complete version here, we can only regret that there has not been some modifications to the ergonomics of the title. At this price we have the most beautiful and the most complete version of a game that has 10 years of age on its gameplay (which is excellent, as we already know).

Destiny 2 Forsaken is a generous expansion, with a lot of new and satisfying content, especially its campaign and the new Gambit mode, a fresh way to enjoy multiplayer.

Wrestling fans will have a good time playing WWE 2K17. 2K allows gamers to play the game the way they want to play it and gives them a lot of tools to create almost anything they want. Unfortunately, the game is also held back by an outdated engine that desperately needs to be retired. And what happened to the 2K Showcase?

NHL 14 will appeal to many novices, because it features everything that makes hockey a violent, explosive and tactical sport. But as usual, the passionate gamers who buy the new episode every year will inevitably be disappointed by the lack of changes and new features.

Fate Extella is a good Musou and a good Visual Novel... but switching between the two genres often break the rhythm to the game.

Biomutant is a nice ARPG, with a nice universe, despite a not very good combat aspect.
