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.
