Nights of Azure offers an original gameplay and nice graphics (except the ugly environments), but the game is too easy and the story not interesting.

In short, a game, with lot of fun when you play it with friends, but it's missing sufficient Olympic events to make it a very good game.

Despite some technical issues, Perfect is an application that makes you want to escape.

Stardrive boasts a no-compromise approach to 4X strategy that is interesting enough. Its relatively simple in terms of management mechanics, but still requires the player to pay attention, since every element has a major impact on his game. On the contrary, the deep customization system of the ships needs to be studied meticulously to be handled with efficiency, on a per-case basis, because the economy doesn't really allow massive aramadas. All these make for a solid basis of a game but a lot still requires refinement (AI, interface, graphics optimisation...).

Tumble VR is a satisfying VR puzzle game. Despite technical issues, that does not affect the gameplay much, the game offers many puzzles and a welcome Vs Mode. Not sure you will want to play it again after completion though.

A great software to make comics on your 3DS, but you must be an expert. No drawing lessons here.

FM2012 will be delightful to its usual fan-base, by betting on its traditional qualities and strengths. By fine-tuning its simulation on details that matter, Sports Interactive clearly targets purists, all the while risking to lose the newcomers. For the fans, Football Manager 2012 is a success, but others will probably be put off by this demanding experience.

Tour de France 2021 remains a quite good game (accessibility, immersion, strategic options), but Cyanide risks losing credibility with its loyal fans. A graphic step is needed and the developer has to be more generous in novelties so as not to become an anonymous rider in the middle of the peloton.

If you like the rail shooters, and own a PS Move, The Shoot is a nice deal. It's still a little expensive for a game you'll finish soon enough, but on the other hand, FPS games with less-than-6-hours solo campaigns are legion... It's also a nice way to start playing with your PS Move.

Waking Mars is an original take on the puzzle game genre, where you will be required to regulate and create a balance in ecosystems. The atmosphere and Retina-friendly visuals are superb, and the concept an innovative one. Too bad the characters clearly lack charisma and the mechanics are sometime frustrating.

If iOS becomes the new favourite platform for puzzle games, Blueprint 3D is one of the most original and well designed that we have seen. The amazing controls turn the game into a thrilling experience that can capture your attention in an instant...

Pro Cycling Manager 2021 is very difficult pass to cross : in one hand, the game lacks novelty and many bugs remain. On another hand, it makes the most of its strong foundations, but in any case, anyone should wait for a few patches to get back in the saddle.

Kinect Sports is a nice surprise among the launch line-up of Kinect. Granted, it's nothing outstanding, but still good fun. It's easy to pick-up, and family-friendly. And actually pretty physical! All we would ask is a new iteration with more mini-games, fun and ideas.

Those familiar with the LEGO franchise won't be disoriented. LEGO The Incredibles is a fun game to explore and controlling the Pixar characters each with their own abilities can be really enjoyable. Alas, the game is not very challenging, especially when it comes to fight several minions by simply press the same button, and the main adventure is quite short.

Here we are. We haven't really been sold on this DiRT 3 spin off. Yes, the envelope is gorgeous, with superb car models, nice lighting effects, and a perfect frame rate, but in the end it still feels a little dull. The races are stringed together without any real thrill, and overall, we're underwhelmed. Throw in some lengthy load times, and what you get is a little above-average racing game, despite some nice multiplayer stuff.

Deadlight had everything to be the perfect Summer of Arcade killer game. But its Prince of Persia like mechanics seem as dated as their reference, and it comes a little bit short of the expectations we had for it.

Resistance : Burning Skies doesn't surprise in any way but its excellent playability and arsenal. The rest is basic, ordinary, and uninspired.

Afterparty begins as a very joyful festivity in which you encounter a lot of great and eloquent people in a very charming place. But it continues as a very passive, clumsy experience and ends as a forgettable game from which you retain mostly technical issues, lack of impactful and pleasant interactions, instead of its strong writing and amazing vocal performances. Too bad, this Hell was surely paved with good intentions.

Particularly complicated release for F1 24, which is trying as best it can to catch up at the last minute with the deployment of its update 1.3 aimed mainly at correcting the enormous physics problems. The career mode, complete, pleasant and immersive, fortunately serves as a pillar for a title which gives us the unpleasant sensation of playing an early access game designed on the basis of F1 23, the fault of the low number of real new features which, for the most part, don't even seem complete. Unchanged graphics, 4 reworked circuits, generic VR, bugs that still persist and physics still being modified following player feedback... at the time we are writing this test, it seems very complicated to recommend the purchase of the game compared to its predecessor , and even more so at the maximum price of €80. EA now has a lot to do to quickly correct an F1 24 which despite everything has interesting potential, but which suffers enormously from its far too rapid pace of release, where an annual update between two opuses would allow the teams to breathe to offer a real game over.

With its sexy heroins and its more adventure-oriented formula, Atelier Totori is more appealing than its predecessor. Even though it stays relatively similar in terms of visuals and at its core, Atelier Totori offers some gameplay adjustments and story enhancements, for the better. A classic-style RPG, but a nice one.

Without renewing its formula, Sribblenauts Unlimited remains a satisfying and friendly game for kids. It's a shame the new features from the Wii U version disappeared, though.

Tiny brains is a fun little game that gives importance to cooperation in multiplayer. Despite a look a bit messy and relatively poor graphics, it's quite fun to chain sessions with friends.

Sid Meier's Starships is a pretty good challenging strategy game, with tactical depth, but suffers from a lack of artistic ambition and a flat atmosphere that leaves one indifferent.

If Strange Brigade has the good idea to offer an original set and tone in the kind of cooperative shooter, it does so either too late or too bad, but in any case, it does not fully convince. Especially against the competition already in place.

Based on the PSP version of the game, Star Ocean First Departure R is first and foremost addressed to the new players. It has some nice improvements though such as the ability to double the game's speed, new illustrations for the characters and a fully new Japanese voice acting by the original cast. However, the high price of the game, combined with the absence of the sequel, The Second Story, is questionable.

Banishers Ghosts of New Eden is a game that delivers a compelling love story that makes us want to see it reach its conclusion. The problem is that most of the other elements of the game take a backseat to the relationship between Antea and Red. Almost all of the secondary characters are not interesting and the main plot is forgotten in an anthology of problems to solve for the inhabitants of New Eden. This is not helped by a semi-open world whose exploration quickly proves boring. Fortunately, the fights are already proving more gripping, just like the famous Haunting Cases. You feel like a paranormal investigator, who must also make serious decisions that will have real consequences. We ultimately see that it is a game which has lots of good ideas, but which did not know how to execute them all in the right way.

FIFA 21 is not bad but it does not innovate at all the recipe initiated by FIFA 20. Very focused on the attack, the defense suffers from a significant imbalance, leaving the open door to matches filled with goals. It is a transitional opus, leaving known bases so as not to upset the players and thus draw great novelties for FIFA 22.

A rich and complex tool. This is not necessarily a quality if you just want to have fun without spending hours on scripts. The interest now depends on your involvement and on the talent of the community, which is too weak for the moment.
