Warhammer 40,000 : Darktide offers a very pleasant and fun cooperative multiplayer experience. However, we hope that the bugs (especially on PC) will be solved as soon as possible.

It's a great thing to have The Witcher III: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition on Nintendo Switch. Players will be able to (re)discover one the best games of the past years - with its two expansions- and take it everywhere they want. If you're not too disappointed by the visual downgrade, a needed sacrifice in order to have it running quite smoothly, and don't try it on a TV, on which it's painful to watch, everything is going to be fine Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri, and this epic and engaging dark fantasy adventure.

For Honor is probably the most satisfying multiplayer game. You can say goodbye to the modern and futuristic eras and just enjoy the brutality of middle age. Except for the in-game cash shop, the game has all the cards in hand to have a bright future.

Dead Rising 3 is not the most beautiful game of the Xbox One launch, but still there is a chance that this game from Capcom Vancouver will entertain you big time. It is generous an fun, we have never seen so many zombies in the streets, the open world is full of activities, featuring stupid and hilarious ideas... Well, it is finally, one of the best games of this launch.

Assassin's Creed Mirage was full of promises. In the end, it's more of a tribute than a true return to its roots. The game offers a melting pot of the latest episodes, stripping out all the RPG progression and its open world, leaving us with the most basic things the license has to offer. It does manage to give a nostalgic vibe in its best moments, but this throwback is combined with a lack of modernity, originality and technical shortcomings that are hard to forgive in 2023, especially in terms of AI and parkour. It's not bad in itself, but it clearly doesn't live up to its promise. Hopefully, Ubisoft will be able to turn this around in the future, because while Mirage leaves us wanting more, it clearly whets our appetites.

Sludge Life is a strange but kind of hypnotic experience, between graffitis and social strikes, using its free exploration to deliver an in-between subtext. If the low-poly visual approach do not repulse you, this like-no-other ride sure offers a few hours of raw discoveries and disturbing encounters.

Quotation forthcoming.

Toukiden is a clone of Monster Hunter... which is not so original on PS Vita, but this one is quite well executed and interesting to play. An acceptable alternative to Capcom's series, for PS Vita owners.

At the time of writing, my heart is in the balance, because it's still pretty damn great to have Lara back. Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered is undoubtedly the ultimate compilation for those who want to enjoy Lara's first adventures in the best possible conditions. For around thirty euros, you'll be able to enjoy almost forty hours of gameplay, with all the sensations of the time and content that will be new to many. Three really great adventures, with a few bonus levels and new features such as New Game Plus, which holds a few surprises in store, and some particularly devious challenges. On the other hand, there are also some major problems besides the lack of affordable gameplay. Even though the games are more beautiful than ever, not everything is rosy. Features are missing and, above all, there are still a host of technical problems, some of which are as old as the games themselves. A lack of finish or an almost masochistic desire to keep the games intact? A good question, but it's not always pleasant, not to mention the fact that while the graphical overhaul is certainly present, it can also detract from the experience by drastically changing the original ambience or revealing what was once hidden and should still have been. An eagerly-awaited return, but unfortunately not as perfect as hoped.

Mario Kart Tour turns toward a larger than ever audience with an even more accessible formula, free to play. But it was deeply tweaked through both gameplay and economic models, which results in an overall hazardous experience with imprecise controls, battle scoring oriented races and competition geared by equipment collection, hence micropayments with shamefully randomized (and time limited) gains. As fun as it can be, this mobile episode looks like a superficial entry into the series, still driving at full speed only on consoles.

Empire of the Ants is an original experience that combines real-time strategy with nature exploration, immersing players in the life of an ant within a miniature world. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game offers impressive, detailed visuals enhanced by an orchestral soundtrack that deepens the immersion. However, while the visuals are superb and unique, the gameplay sometimes feels too simplistic, especially during real-time strategy phases. Nonetheless, it remains a good experience, utterly fascinating for anyone with even a slight interest in nature.

Harmonix managed to make a good rhythm game and a good Kinect game in Fantasia : Music Evolved. Even if it's not perfect and mainly lacking of classic Disney songs that could make it a perfect experience for it audience, kids, this production can entertain a few hours thanks to its mechanics and varied track list.

As expected, fitting Paper Mario into the universe of Mario & Luigi falls flat from a narrative point of view, although Paper Jam Bros. brilliantly unfolds the multifaceted powers of Mario's slimmest incarnation.

Transpose is clever puzzle game who use the VR specifications nearly perfectly. The levels are well designed and the difficulty is well balanced. Unfortunately, the bad accuracy of the cubes' throwing ends up causing some frustration.

Always full of humor and still fun to play, this new Inazuma Eleven is not so new, except in its story. Only the biggest fans and the newcomers should buy it.

Picross: Lord of the Nazarick is certainly a great addition to any Picross player that knows and appreciates Overlord. It has a lot of elements from the anime, which can be feel like a relief after three Picross S games that look almost the same. If you don't know or don't like it, you'll probably want to go straight to the point and skip the cutscenes that slow down a bit your need for coloring blank grids and reveal some Pixel Art images.

If you didn't have the opportunity to play it since 2011, you can go for the Nintendo Switch version of L.A. Noire without fear as it's still a good adventure game with some great investigation and interrogating systems that have an impact on the way you solve cases, and an amazing atmosphere with some excellent acting. The port is true to the original game and has some issues, on TV and docked mode, but it doesn't prevent the game from being an immersive experience.

After the very nice Evil Dead The Game, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre proves that we can adapt a legendary work without destroying it. The game is clearly a nice homage to Tobe Hooper's cult Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We find all the ingredients of the feature film between the locations, the objects which become mechanics (chicken cages, bones etc.), the grain of madness that we can have during certain parts and characters who are more careful than in the usual for the genre. Playing as a member of the Family is inevitably easier, but being on the Victim side brings another tension. A good immersion in this universe, and that of asymmetrical horror games, but which suffers from its blatant lack of content, the animations and modeling of the characters, and its too clean image. It would clearly have been necessary to dirty the visuals to further improve the atmosphere. If you're a fan and you start it, you should enjoy your few games, but for how long?

It feels great to be back in Arcadia Bay. Deck Nine hasn't lost the magic of Life is Strange and this first chapter of the prequel lets us imagine a touching story with great characters and probably counting decisions.

Shadow of War offers probably one of the most interesting open world systems. Very deep and intelligent, it's a true living world around us and the nemesis system is still brilliant. Sadly we still have some issues from the first game, like muddled combats and crazy difficulty at certain moments. Also, a fan of Tolkien can find plenty of mistakes in the game.

Just like Disneyland, such a collection of entertaining attractions filled with fan service will delight children, but the repetitiveness of those activities and the lack of narrative reveal this magical world's superficial nature, even more obvious to the grown-ups, unless they still enjoy wearing ear hats.

Chariot is a difficult and adorable platformer, sometimes infuriating, but the subtle alchemy of its gameplay gives more satisfaction than frustration.

Yooka-Laylee is a good Banjo-Kazooie-like, packed with a colorfull world, good gameplay and a lot of humor. It doesn't reach the level of its model, but is for sure a nice modern alternative.

The blurriness displayed on the unexploited touchscreen in handheld mode shows that this Switch version is only a straightforward port. But such slight technical issues don't hinder the interest of this point and click adventure focused on the narrative through puzzles cleverly integrated, hence Silence definitely shouldn't stay quiet.

Everybody's Golf takes a fresh start by going online and enhancing its progress system. The Turf War mode is a fun way to change your approach by going so much faster than usual, and this time you have to actually use your stuff to make it better. Wherever it is your first time going for a put or not, it is the most fun you can get with a golfing game. However, its limited number of courses and its clumsy design might miss the boat...

This compilation is an excellent opportunity for those wishing to explore the series without missing a beat of the script, in addition to providing first titles never released in Europe. The port is of good quality and we appreciate being back in the world of Kingdom Hearts, in HD and with reworked music and various improvements to the gameplay.

After setting up the bases of their sci-fi thriller, Phoenix Online delivers a second episode that is shorter, but much more intense and well-paced. It's a better episode, even though the production values haven't improved - a shortcoming that prevents it from truly shining.

Thanks to the light (but sometimes rather dazzling) cooperative help of Toadette and a few level design jewels, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker gets even more brillant with this DLC, somehow too episodically though. Its crown of puzzle-platformer king remains nevertheless absolutely deserved.

For those who love pixel art, point'n click adventures and puzzle games, Finding Teddy is like a trip to Wonderland. It is short, but this beautiful mix works perfectly.

In short, a good Sonic which could have been absolutely stunning if it had allowed itself to modernize while retaining this recipe which still hits the mark, even after all these years.

The Night of the Rabbit looks like a kid oriented game, but the puzzles point it towards the hardcore audience. One may clear them with a little research, but it's clear Daedalic didn't really master its difficulty curve. But in terms of production values and story, it's really good.

A very simple yet addictive game, where you control the sun to create water by shooting through clouds, in order to water flowers you need to grow. A typical companion to play short bursts on the go, with an added value through the hundreds of flower species to collect, game after game.

Maskmaker is the new virtual reality game from French studio Innerspace after the very successful A Fisherman's Tale. It tells the story of an apprentice creator of magic masks and his master, while the player infiltrates their secret workshop. Maskmaker is above all an artistic work of quality, both visually and in terms of the soundtrack, with full dubbing in French. However, we regret that the puzzles are not more complex, everything is rather too easy and agreed, even when it comes to making the keepers interact with each other to progress.

The Crew 2 did a good job on improving the original game. It's a little bit more of everything, and the new road/sea/air feature offers a lot of fun and variety. Some new race categories are much better than others however (the bike races are particularly bad), and the driving controls are still basic compared to what we can expect from a 2018 racing game.

Once again, it's in small touches by small touches that PES makes progress, enhancing some things (a more fluid gamaeplay, more identifiable signature moves from great players), and losing others in the process (the impractical training mode, faces that are less well-modeled than before). Another episode of transition before the the complete overhaul that may induce the use of a new engine for PES 2014, PES 2013 is a good soccer game and a nice enough PES, but one that, this year again, can't measure up to the competition, namely FIFA 13.

By keeping its basics and adding smart ideas like specific worm classes or water physics, this Worms Revolution works well. Too bad the online gameplay modes aren't really creative, and the solo AI too tough for many players.

Project Diva Mega Mix is a good entry door for Switch players. But if you already own Future Tone, pass your way.

Nioh 2 The Tengu Disciple adds a new chapter and hours of gameplay, with some pretty food challenge, which makes it an interesting add-on for those who want to keep on playin Nioh 2.

The Bradwell Conspiracy is a good adventure game with a passionate universe, and original gameplay principles, but theses principles are underexploited and the game is too easy.

Republique isn't perfect, as it suffers some problems like a poor AI, but it still offers a nice story and an original infiltration gameplay.

A good learning method for drawing. With Pokémon. So an excellent method for kids.

Eight years after the original Wii version, this Extra Epic Yarn comes back on the old 3DS console, with a new diabolical mode which brings à tiny bit of challenge to an overall very easy game. Its two new mini-games might be now enough to bring back the players of 2010, especially with a lower frame rate and no 3D effects at all. Still, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn is a good platformer and might satisfy 3DS owners.

Piczle Cross Adventure is a nice mix between adventure and puzzles, filled with a funny story and many secrets to uncover. But even with its 300+ Picross, the settings still lack of most traditional and obvious options. Still, fans of the genre should definitely have a look.

Blackguards is the Dark Souls of Tactical RPGs. Hardcore gamers will love its incredibly high difficulty, but most players will rage-quit.

At first, Timespinner feels like a splendid new contender in the Metroidvania genre. It has some strong visuals and music, combat feels good, it offers maps we definitely want to explore and its story and characters are great. But this game feels a bit too easy, should have pushed the time manipulation idea and lacks epic feel in its boss fights, among other things.

EA Vancouver increased the realistic motion effect experience in NHL 19, and implemented a diversity of changes in the game modes.

Resident Evil: Revelations gets an enjoyable Switch port from Capcom. The motion controls remind us of Resident Evil 4 on the Wii and the game runs well in both portable and docked modes.

Jurassic World Evolution: Secrets of Dr Wu is a DLC full of good ideas. Playing with genetic is really fun and allows to create such unnatural dinosaurs behaviors, which is a nice nod to the two Jurassic World movies. However, this DLC lacks some more content to be a must have.

Death Mark is a quite frightening Visual Novel, but it's very linear and you need to download chapter 6 as DLC on PS VITA.

The elaboration of exercises intended to improve brain capacities is not an easy task, but it gets even more difficult to make these fun as well with a focus on the (hard)working memory, because of the multiple distractions from our hyperconnected world. Thanks to a playful tone, an adaptive challenge and a wide selection of cleverly designed activities, Brain Age : Concentration Training successfully keeps the experience interesting, but also gratifying. Despite some persistent handwriting recognition issues and the rather large amount of recycled games, this devilish episode shall amuse our minds, an indubitable benefit, intellectual empowerment debates notwithstanding.

A true pleasure to return to Titan Quest 11 years later. A good surprise from THQ Nordic in 2017. This game is a true nostalgic breath of fresh air for many PC players. Is it a sign for a come back of the license, perhaps with a Titan Quest 2? In all cases, this DLC is a great job with very interesting new specialisation and a fascinating lore.

Very similar to its predecessor but now playable up to four friends, Guacamelee! 2 always offers a mastered Metroidvania adventure, fun and colorful.

The Technomancer has some big flaws, but with its rich universe, fascinating dialogues and pretty graphics, it doesn't fail at being a good Action-RPG.

All the ingredients are there to make Shenmue III a great Shenmue game : riveting story, copious side content, beautiful backgrounds and great characters. But it's also a bit dragged down by its dated production values. Gamers who loved the first two Shenmue games and who can overlook technical shortcomings will have a great time. Bring on Shenmue IV!

A nice surprise. If you never played PC version, you can begin on PS4 now. The PS4 version is very beautiful, but the most important problem is that there is not enough game mode. We have a good free-to-play here.

With Life is Strange Before the Storm - Episode 3 : Hell is Empty, Deck Nine brings a satisfying conclusion to this prequel. Even if we could have expected some more significant consequences to the choices we wake, it's still a touching story for two really adorable characters in a lovely world. A godd way to wait for what's next.

Sunset Overdrive is a cool and very fun game for all arcade and open-world fans, but it's not really the must-have Xbox Owners were waiting for.

IL-2 Stormovik Cliffs of Dover Blitz Edition is good evolution of a must-have simulation taking place during World War 2. It can't be recommended to those who wants to play it casually and it feels not as good as DCS mods. But it's cheaper, so if you are the target, you can go for it.

Far Cry 6 is a good opus in the series, but it doesn't bring anything new to the IP besides a good performance from Giancarlo Esposito.

This last episode of The Walking Dead is certainly not perfect but it brings a conclusion - which was not sure a few months ago - to the series. And it still can be liked by those who truly love the characters, even if it has only a few surprises in store. Nevertheless, this opportunity to say goodbye to Clementine - in extension to the whole Telltale Games formula - is truly appreciable. We'll miss her for sure.

Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games offers a fun gaming experience to young gamers. Aside from a few mini-games that can be quite painful, the game makes smart use of the 3DS' capabilities. That being said, the game will probably be too simplistic for hardcore sports fans.

This first DLC for BioShock Infinite keeps its promises: the return to Rapture is absolutely great for the fans... Too bad it takes less than two hours to finish... At $15, it's quite expensive, especially as you will soon want to pay again for the second episode. You should opt now for the Season Pass.

Ruiner offers a particularly demanding gameplay, with very cool gun fights that will surely satisfy hardcore twin stick shooter fans. Unfortunately, the visuals are very repetitive, and the story is nearly as much absent as the multiplayer mode.

Shadow of Mordor is really cool to play and introduce an interesting Nemesis System mechanic, but at some point it becomes a little bit too repetitive.

This fourth episode is a little short, but it concludes very well a series in which the script, dialogues and atmosphere are the highest qualities.

The Swords of Ditto delivers an accessible rogue-like experience served by beautiful artistic direction, and a soft difficulty curve quite rare for the genre. Thanks to a shared experience system, death is no longer tragic, but fans of rogue-likes will certainly find the adventure quite simple, mostly because of a basic combat system and too many random dungeons.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for Nintendo Switch is a totally serviceable port of the original game released on PS4/Xbox One/PC. Even if the game's visuals take a hit on Nintendo's console, the fact that you can now take Xenoverse 2 everywhere with you is a big plus. If you have the Switch, like Dragon Ball Z and missed Xenoverse 2's original release, you could do a lot worse than to give the game a shot.

Death end Re;Quest is good mix between an original J-RPG and a visual novel, with two different heroes.

I Hate Running Backwards is a correct proposition that stays true to the sources of video games: everything is based on gameplay with simple but proven principles. The result is a game without pretension, but that will occupy you for hours with friends or solo. Too bad it has not been polished a little more with other game modes, including classic online modes (in co-op for instance).

This first Mega Man X compilation might seem a little short on content, but the pleasure to play through Mega Max X1 to 4 might be enough for most gamers of the 90's. With a wide museum gallery and some interesting bonuses, this collection just fail to deliver new strong modes, even though the newcomers will be more than pleased by the Rookie one.

Shantae looks lovelier than ever in high definition, swaying hips more voluptuously to boot. However the wonderful belly dancer lost some charm through her cartoonish traits, despite a wider array of powers. Inspired by the trends, particularly crowdfunding, Half-Genie Hero openly embraces an episodic structure, confining exploration meanwhile. A more straight(way)forward approach, but this episode falls a little short in comparison to the scale of the previous trilogy, unless upcoming DLCs prove otherwise.

Banished is a good city builder game that needs some refinements, but still has a charming atmosphere and interesting ideas.

Monster Energy Supercross 2 is a good sequel. It greatly enhances the career mode and gives it a lot more dynamism. Driving sensations are also on a good path with better feelings and good technicality, despite an arcade side revealed by some collisions issues. Pretty, fun, and easy to access despite greater depth, Milestone's production has been able to capitalize positively on bases that had good potential. It still has to tweak his multiplayer mode to keep the distance. See you in 2020 for a must-have?

Eighteen years after its original release on PlayStation, Final Fantasy IX is back on Switch, but with all the flaws inherited from the PC/PS4 port of 2017. But in the end, its compressed soundtrack and smartphone interface will not make us forget the greatness of such an adventure, which could have benefit from a sweeter launch price.

Urban Myth Dissolution Center is one of the nice surprises of 2025. With its tremendous pixel art direction, Hakababunko's new game draws the eye just by looking at it. But this point'n'click / visual novel, reminiscent of Ace Attorney in an occult universe, shines with its writing, humour and modern themes. There are definite shortcomings, such as the pace of the adventure and the repeatability of the missions, but it's clearly a good experience overall.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is an excellent game but clearly not without flaws, even if the numerous innovations make it the best episode regarding infiltration. However, Naoe carries the game on her own, when Yasuke only has a central place in the story and not the gameplay. It's a game where freedom is at its peaks and it’s sometimes at its own disadvantage. The rhythm is irregular, the writing is often weakened by the poor animations during the cinematics. It’s a shame, because the game has an absolutely bluffing open world and an amazing and never seen before dynamic weather system that needs to become a standard now. Assassin’s Creed Shadows may not be the most sensational one, but it is, nevertheless, one the very good episodes of the franchise and sets its future brighter.

Without being up to Phasmophobia, Remnant Records remains a good horror game in the sauce of the paranormal investigator. If you really want to be scared, we advise you to try to play solo. All the beauty of the oppressive atmosphere stands out when you are alone within the walls of these haunted places. In multiplayer, we tend to be more casual, especially since it makes minds quite easy to see coming. But the real problem is that in general, we quickly go around the proposed experience.

The Handsome Jackpot takes place in a whole new location: a Handsome Jack-owned casino gone wrong that Moxxi wants back. For an average price, the adventure offers many new features and an entertaining story -albeit disturbed by some boring quests. It's designed for long-time fans and creative weapons lovers, but not for those who seek for an innovative extension.

Song of Memories is a good visual novel with convincing graphics, and a surprising story full of love during the apocalypse.

Gato Roboto offers a synthetic and concentrated experience of a Metroid-like adventure. doinksoft game's ticks every boxes of the genre, delivering a high-speed rhythm all the same, but falling short after three little hours.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess won't be the game of the year, but it's still a pleasant surprise from Capcom. If we ignore the repetitiveness, which is still difficult to forget, we have an interesting first proposition. A more original experience than usual with combat with a particular feeling, and a whole strategic section that is quite complete but not stifling for newbies. It can also be a good entry point, even if you hate tower defense. The universe with Japanese folklore works, as does the artistic direction, which counterbalances the truly disappointing technique.

Sniper Elite 5 brings a few improvements to an IP that works well. But after waiting for over 5 years, we would have hoped to see a bit more new stuff, and to be able to enjoy up-to date visuals and animations. Still, if you like the series, this journey through France will be quite enjoyable.

LEGO Batman 3 offers a fun new adventure for young and old players. Comic book fans will get a kick out of the humor and constant fan service.

Quotation forthcoming.

Guitar Hero Live offers great innovations compared to its best enemy Rock Band 4, and this is great, but the microtransactions policy that won't let you permanently buy any song is really frustrating, spoiling the rest of the experience.

Quotation forthcoming.

BattleTech has a lot of qualities. It offers a rich and deep universe and some quite interesting game mechanics. Refreshing in the tactical genre, it's also a real pleasure for micromanagements' enthusiasts. Sadly, visuals are not on par. It's not exactly what we'd call a pleasure for the eyes.

Song of the Deep is a soft and tender faery/mermaid tale in the form of a Metroidvania game. It offers a strong atmosphere and beautiful graphics, but suffers some gameplay issues and is maybe too easy for gamers who need a real challenge.

Banned Footage Vol 1 is quite a good DLC. On the 3 new modes, The Bedroom is really excellent, and the two others offers more action and replayability.

Outlast is not so impressive visually, but it has a terrific atmosphere that will scare all players. It would have been better with a wide variety of gameplay situations though.

Rocket Arena is a fun and easy to learn shooting game. The fast pace of the game won't suit everyone but strengthens its identity. Despite lacking a depth of lore and strategy, the crossplay option can convince players to pay the price.

XCOM: Chimera Squad is a good surprise with some interesting good news mechanics.However, it gives the impression of a quick release for stand up Gears Tactics.

Whether on PC or PS4, Outlast is not so impressive visually, but it has a terrific atmosphere that will scare all players. It would have been better with a wide variety of gameplay situations, though.

Masters of Anima will satisfy strategy lovers, but beware: the difficulty is poorly balanced, and progressing through the game is quite a challenge.

With The Siege of Paris, Assassin's Creed Valhalla goes back to the series' roots by allowing players to find the best way to get rid of their victims. With a very french intrigue and setting, this episode offers a pretty good reason to launch the game once again, sacrebleu !

Wandersong is a colorful musical platformer which does not bet everything on its technical element, but delivers a cheerful fable along its ten hour run. However, its non-existent challenge will reserve it to short sessions only. But thanks to its cheerful cast of well-written characters, Wandersong let the player enjoy nothing but good feelings, thanks to the ever so-satisfying power of music.

Samurai Warriors 4 is a descent beat them all for the PS4, and if you like Muso games, this is one of the best.

A feminist interactive novel that will probably change the way you read the great classics to your children, but nothing that will change the world forever. The real downside is, however, its unbelievably high price (for what it is).
