Technically and visually almost flawless, even more enjoyable to play with a consistently enjoyable fluidity (but preferably with a controller), all without a mandatory PSN connection, this PC version of Shift Up's title sets the bar very high. If you've been waiting for it to go on an adventure with EVE and if you don't have a PS5 Pro, you can go for it without question, unless the price of its different editions could be a deterrent for you.

The Nintendo Switch 2 made the choice to add Cyberpunk 2077 to its list of launch games, and this was clearly not a good idea. Unfortunately, it's neither good for the console, which we know is capable of much better, nor for the game, which we can't fully enjoy as it deserves. The game is ugly, no matter which mode you choose, and of the 4 possibilities for playing it, only one remains viable and will still require you to make major concessions: Performance mode with the console in its dock. For the rest, it's best to pass. It's a pity, because this version of Cyberpunk 2077 makes excellent use of the feature that transforms the Joy-Con into a mouse, the sensations are very good, and as a bonus it includes the Phantom Liberty DLC and all the updates released to date. It was ambitious, and well attempted, but it falls flat. Asking gamers for 70€ and telling them to make concessions, at the very launch of a new console, is just not possible. So avoid it, unless you really have no choice but to play the game for a very long time.

It may not look like much, but Drop Duchy is a real nugget. With its atypical recipe of unrelated elements, the game succeeds in offering a coherent and even extremely addictive experience. The icing on the cake, despite the depth of its gameplay, which only increases with each game played, is that it is ultra accessible. All in all, you'll quickly find yourself hooked on this very well-crafted gameplay loop that keeps you wanting to play perfect games and rack up high scores. And if scoring isn't your thing, there are a myriad of challenges to complete before you get bored. On the other hand, the lack of content, especially in terms of environments and bosses, will quickly be felt by the most relentless players.

Elden Ring Nightreign is definitely a game apart in FromSoftware's catalog. Despite a clear requirement primarily geared toward three-player co-op, we legitimately had many memorable moments on this "Rogue-Lite Survival" spin-off in a generally successful and frankly addictive way, despite obvious balancing issues and questionable choices for a title focused on multiplayer. To fully appreciate the game in all its glory, however, we can only strongly advise you to play it with a group of friends. If you are primarily a solo player, unless you are a true Souls-like god, it is clearly better to move on, or bitterly suffer the consequences.

Brushes with Death, the first major DLC for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, unfortunately clearly falls short compared to the base game. While its plot offers some good moments and bears the hallmarks of quality writing from Warhorse Studios, it largely fails to effectively engage the player. With its tedious medieval fetch quests, a narrative entirely centered on an otherwise perfectly secondary character, an underwhelming new exclusive mechanic, and disappointing rewards, this is a picture that we believe will have a hard time selling, despite a rather reasonable price.

Without being as cult as Onimusha Warlords, Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny shows just how special this license is. Despite the weight of time, the gameplay is still effective and more accessible with the introduction of modern controls. It's clearly a basic remaster like the first one, but it's the best way to play it. However the high price just for one game is not justified here.

Unfortunately, The Precinct won't be unexpected gem that some players were waiting - it's even far from it. While some will undoubtedly appreciate the homage to the old GTAs, but from the other side of the fence, and the mechanics linked to that, the game's limitations in terms of narrative, repetitiveness and gameplay approximations betray its ambitions. In the end, despite an interesting basic proposition, the game is quickly overtaken by all these major flaws, which prevent it from delivering the “fun” experience promised by the studio.

DOOM The Dark Ages puts us in a rather delicate position. On the one hand, we absolutely loved playing as the Slayer in a disproportionate medieval universe, thanks to a gameplay both "old-school" and modern, more brutal and enjoyable than ever, and even more accessible. On the other hand, the studio's attempts to bring more depth to the franchise's lore and game mechanics fell seriously flat overall. That didn't however stop us from having a monstrous blast eviscerating armies of demons, with a graphical and technical slap that was still as masterful as ever.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is far more than a simple facelift applied to a beloved classic. It’s a heartfelt tribute, crafted above all for those who first explored the lands of Cyrodiil nearly twenty years ago. Virtuos and Bethesda have struck a delicate balance, modernizing the essentials without compromising the unique identity of the original. Visually, the transformation is often stunning. But behind this ambitious graphical overhaul, some technical aspects still show their age.

Days Gone Remastered is clearly the best version of the game to date. If you were disappointed by its technical issues on PS4, it would be time to give it a second chance. This massive update significantly improves the graphics with better lighting effects, a better resolution and a solid framerate and adds the fun new mode: Horde Assault. PS5 Pro players will benefit from the power of the console and will have an even better experience.

26 years after the last game, it’s a successful comeback for Fatal Fury City of the Wolves. The game is complete, technically demanding, but designed not to frustrate newcomers and strong enough to last over time.

King of the racing games, Forza Horizon 5 is still visually impressive years later and takes advantage from the additional power of the PS5 Pro to push its technical limits even further across all consoles. A must-have for the lovers of the genre that unfortunately comes with a high price.

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is undoubtedly a French slap in the face, dripping with love for video games and art as a whole. Extremely generous in everything it undertakes, the only criticism it can ultimately have is that it sometimes goes a little too far, at the risk of exploding. It feels breathless, on edge. There isn't an aspect that doesn't follow through and firmly adhere to its creators' vision, even if it means being disconcerting, even disturbing. In this sense, the game exudes untouchable creativity and intelligence. The developers give us everything they have, everything they want, and we welcome it. Ultimately, all it would have lacked was a nice balance and a little more polish to make it a truly essential game. It nonetheless remains a serious contender for the most prestigious awards of the year.

After two attempts, IO Interactive has finally succeeded in transforming Hitman World of Assassination into a highly recommended VR experience. In fact, it's one of the best virtual reality games on the market. Unfortunately, it's still a game designed for a flat screen, so there are limitations that prevent it from being a complete VR experience.

Blue Prince is an indispensable nugget, one of the most exciting games of early 2025, and that's all there is to it. It's hard to talk about it without spoiling the huge surprise that awaits you. Without warning, the game bewitches us with its unique roguelite-puzzle game recipe. Insanely intelligent, the richness of its gameplay is based on puzzles that you have to solve yourself. Calling on our grey matter like never before, and even going beyond the boundaries of video games by forcing us to scribble our ideas on the corner of a table. Addictive in the extreme, even more rewarding than any roguelite, Blue Prince clearly deserves your attention. However, for us French-speaking fans, the language barrier can be a problem. But it can also be seen as a final test, and that suits it rather well, giving it an even more intriguing dimension in the end.

Unlike the severly infected PC port of The Last of Us Part 1 at its release, The Last of Us 2 Remastered on PC presents itself as a superb score with almost no false notes, apart from a few textures, a depth of field below the rest, and very rare bugs. We are therefore entitled here to a PC version of very high caliber from a technical point of view, coupled with extremely complete support for different control schemes and accessibility pushed to the maximum. If you have never played Part 2, you will definitely be spoiled here, even with a modest configuration. Likewise, players without a PS5 Pro will be able to enjoy the best version of Naughty Dog's masterpiece, unless the 50 euros price tag is prohibitive for you, but also without a mandatory PSN account.

WWE 2K25 is without any difficulty a the must-have for wrestling game lovers. Everything is there with plenty of contents and with decent attempts of innovation in the player's experience. However, 2K seriously needs to look at the form and the technical engine that always does wonders, but sometimes is a lackluster on important elements on the ring.

Neople's The First Berserker Khazan is a success. While it opts for a classic structure and a level design without too many surprises, it pulls out all the stops with its gameplay, halfway between souls-like and beat'em all. Hyper-energetic and highly graphic, the combat system is a pure success. Despite the difficulty, which is not always well balanced, the game is not punishing, but rather rewards the slightest action. The build-up of power coupled with the feeling of accomplishment make The First Berserker Khazan a truly enjoyable and exhilarating experience. Not to mention its masterful, eye-popping art direction and, above all, its talent for staging boss battles, which spares nothing. An excellent surprise for the start of the year, and an excellent hardcore action game.

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.

The stakes were high after It Takes Two. How to get past GOTY 2021? Hazelight found the answer with Split Fiction. A true gameplay success, it's never a pleasure to hold the controller in your hand. Josef Fares' teams have not lost any of their inventiveness, either, and manage to offer us a gameplay experience we never tire of. Most of the storyline could have done with a bit more surprise, but it's a solid one that works from start to finish. What more could you ask for? It's another nugget from a studio that puts the pleasure of playing above all else.

Two Point Museum succeeds in captivating players with its original setting, full of humor and creativity. Thanks to a management system that is both rich and accessible, engaging expeditions, and a wacky atmosphere, the game offers an experience that is as strategic as it is entertaining. Watching your museum grow, adapt to visitors' demands, and fill up with quirky artifacts is a real pleasure. However, a few small flaws slightly tarnish the experience, such as annoying bugs and a decoration system that feels less impactful than expected. Nothing game-breaking, but some adjustments could further enhance the experience. Despite these minor issues, Two Point Museum remains a delightful surprise for management game fans. With its engaging gameplay, constant humor, and extensive customization options, it promises countless hours of fun. If you enjoy building, optimizing, and laughing at the same time, this game definitely deserves your attention.

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.

Konami's Yu-Gi-Oh Early Days Collection pays tribute to the franchise's earlier games. Fans will find some of their favorite characters and maps. What's more, they'll have the pleasure of discovering some titles for the first time in Europe. However, the interest is quickly limited by the redundancy of the games on offer and a definite lack of polish, particularly in terms of languages and texts. The most fervent fans will no doubt not be bothered to play through everything, but the others are likely to skip most of the games and enjoy only 2 or 3, if they have the courage to look for the one that suits them best. All in all, let's hope the publisher doesn't stop with this compilation. There are so many titles that deserve to be brought up to date, especially on previous generations of home consoles.

In case you haven't figured it out, Monster Hunter Wilds is a masterclass. The worthy successor to World and Iceborne and its success is already assured. We are also already promised free updates, a first monster has been confirmed for spring 2025, a tab for event quests is already waiting for players and we know that collaborations will take place. Clearly, Monster Hunter Wilds is one of the rare games that already manages to make us love what's coming, without even knowing what we're going to have to deal with. Extremely generous from start to finish, it improves and modernizes a recipe that has already proven itself and won over millions of players. Fans can go there with their eyes closed, while newbies have here a perfect gateway to get a foot in the door of the license. A fantastic world awaits you, dozens of hours of hunting alone or in cooperation, but above all an incredible and spectacular experience. Definitely one of the best games of 2025, even if it's just beginning.

Avowed will definitely not revolutionize the RPG genre, but still represents a competent title in its category that does clearly not lack of interest and depth. Its exciting story dictated by our choices is indeed in line with the true “role-playing games” so dear to Obsidian, with superb artistic direction, and its gameplay is as dynamic as it is satisfying. However, several points may be off-putting. We can indeed blame its lifeless NPCs, a shaky balancing of difficulty in the face of a bestiary which quickly falls short in terms of diversity, like the exploration of these famous Living Lands, certainly very beautiful to contemplate, but a bit redundant in the long run.

Don't Nod is back with a vengeance, with a proposition calibrated for fans who fell in love with the studio thanks to Life is Strange. Lost Records has everything to appeal to an audience that swears by the emotions they experienced playing Max Caulfield in the Arcadia Bay era or even with the Diaz brothers. The story and its direction are undeniably the strong point of Tape 1. ‘Bloom sets the scene and the stakes to create a title that has every chance of becoming a new studio benchmark. It still stumbles at times, notably due to a technical aspect that isn't quite finished. We're obviously hoping that the studio has given itself enough time to ensure that the sequel doesn't suffer the same disruption. So we can't wait to launch Tape 2 and get to the bottom of the story behind this reunion of friends who haven't seen each other for 27 years. We look forward to seeing you on 15 April 2025.

While some players experiencing huge problems with Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC, we were lucky enough to avoid these issues but i does not mean that doesn't exist. For us, the experience was good, even very good. The game is even more beautiful on this platform, and goes even further than the PS5 version in terms of ray-tracing. Thanks to DLSS or FSR, the game can run around 60fps with ray-tracing options. For the game itself, it's still a excellent blockbuster that will have fans of Marvel's superhero dreaming.

Dynasty Warrior Origins kicks a genre that has been stalled for too long. The musô comes out of its niche to tickle the curiosity of a wider audience, without forgetting its roots. It is a logical evolution of an old formula that still refuses to let go of its foundations, but accepts modernity. Result, the game drags its old demons like redundancy, intrinsic to the genre that we find in force here, or graphics below the standards. But the rest takes a facelift, with more advanced narration, efforts of staging and especially a will to do in the great show. It works like a dream, the game is complete, generous and super fun. In many ways, it impresses and turns out to be extremely exhilarating. If you were a fan of musô before, you will enjoy it. If you were curious, but never dared to take the plunge, this Dynasty Warrior Origins is the perfect gateway, go for it.
