The Thaumaturge is a fairly unique RPG in terms of its setting and the themes it addresses. Narratively quite crazy and engaging from start to finish, it is worthy of a very good fantasy movie or a good gothic tale.

The Outlast Trials takes the franchise into a new multiplayer universe and surprisingly, it works quite well. The hide-and-seek from the saga remains intact, it's bloody and violent just like the previous games, and the sound design is excellent. But unfortunately, the content is still rather limited and we can get bored pretty quickly. However, we hope that Red Barrels will find ways to improve the game in the coming months.

Helldivers 2 is one the best co-op games ever made. It's a full packed-action title with huge references to Starship Troopers and Terminator that will resonate among fans. A full sequel with far greater ambitions and a sense of destruction like Battlefield series. Don't hesitate, buy it on PS5 or PC.

Saber Interactive uses SnowRunner’s very strong foundation to deliver a new alternative experience with Expeditions: A MudRunner Game based on exploring hostile and wild areas. Without being totally new, since it borrows a lot from its predecessor, the game nevertheless manages to grab us with its sublime scenery, but also and especially its fascinating gameplay and physics. The new mechanics introduced as the management of gadgets and equipment only reinforce the strategic aspect of a demanding title but within the reach of all motivated adventurers, novices as old adventurers of the MudRunner saga. Too bad not to be able to enjoy it with friends for the release, but we already know: Expeditions is there for a long time, alongside his cousin SnowRunner.

Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash is not at all up to the manga or the anime. It could have been a good adaptation if it had benefited from care, ideas and consistency in its development. He does not honor his genre nor the manga he is supposed to adapt. The rendering is catastrophic, embarrassing and shameful for any lover of JJK.

War Hospital is a pleasant surprise. With its numerous and good gameplay ideas, its exciting setting. The game has the potential to captivate you for many hours.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth marks the new golden age of the license. It’s a gargantuan and disproportionate game, in addition to being extremely generous. Next to it, FF7 Remake is just a long prologue behind closed doors. The world opens with Rebirth, the universe of Final Fantasy 7 with it. Everything is sublime, fantastic even, and invites you to travel. The deliberately choppy and mysterious narration fulfills its role perfectly and will undoubtedly cause a lot of ink to flow. It’s an almost instantaneous uppercut that never really gives us time to dislocate our jaw. However, everything is not rosy, we have some heaviness here and there, slightly old-fashioned mechanics which rub shoulders with other much more modern systems, but we will happily excuse it as everything else is impressive. It’s beautiful, sublime, for the eyes and the ears, even though the technique sometimes fails when you look closer. The soundtrack, a mix of revamped themes and new features, is certainly one of the best in the series. But it's a whole and taken as a whole, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a real gem.

Suicide Squad is not the disaster that we were afraid of. But in the other hand, it's not a good game because its many flaws. The storytelling is good enough and the characters are excellent, especially Harley Quinn. There is definitely a sense of humour, the combat part offers a crisp feel like the parkour. But the game as a service structure is a huge problem.

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.

Lysfanga The Time Shift Warrior is a true masterpiece. It's a beautifully crafted strategic action game, boasting exceptional artistic direction inspired by the tales of the Thousand and One Nights.

For a first of its kind, Granblue Fantasy Relink is a success. It throws itself wholeheartedly into the grand spectacle of pure action, showing extreme generosity. With a roster of some twenty unique characters, for as many different gameplays, Relink can boast of breaking the routine, or almost. Inherited from Gacha, it uses a progression system for its heroes that could put some people off. But it's also this recipe that makes the endgame, based on a system of quests to be completed alone or in cooperation, so addictive. If you're a customer, over a hundred hours of gameplay await you; if not, you'll have to make do with the main story, punctuated by memorable sequences and battles. The story, however, is hardly surprising, with dispensable side quests. Granblue Fantasy Relink has a bit of an "ass between two chairs", since it certainly won't appeal to everyone, but it's nonetheless a good action-RPG that tries to blend its heritage with a slightly more modern and current recipe. It paves the way for a franchise that could well surprise us even more in a few years' time.

Persona 3 Reload is an excellent remake and truly modernize the game by harmonize it with Persona 5. A truly impressive graphical leap that which brings new perspectives and brings some new features. The Tartarus still feels outdated and could have benefited from some tweaks. But Persona 3 Reload is still a memorable game and one of the best of the beginning of the year.

Tekken 8 offers a suitable playground for both novices and purists of the saga. Set to last, the game sets the bar very high, corrects the defaults of the previous game and greatly improves the experience. We can’t wait to see how Bandai Namco will follow up in the coming months/years. A must-have for any lovers of fighting games that respects. You will not regret it.

It’s a must-do masterpiece if you’ve never had the time to try it before. This fully optimized version on PS5 is a feast for the eyes and ears. There is nothing to throw away, especially since in addition to being sublime, the game is incredible, we know that. For fans of the license, many bonuses (developer comments, deleted levels, etc.) are also included. The roguelike mode does the job very well, even if it is only playable solo. It will certainly kill you for a few extra hours if it is not really essential. But when the job is done very well, why sulk? The same will not be said of the mode which allows you to play the guitar freely, which will only appeal to serious enthusiasts. The Last of Us 2 Remastered is therefore unmissable if you have never touched the game, but if you own the original game on PS4, although it will only cost you around ten euros, it is difficult to recommend, except for early fans obviously.

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown ticks all the boxes of the perfect metroidvania. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but appropriates a genre that suits the license perfectly. Artistically very well done, visually appealing, the game is also extremely dynamic and engaging. It's a pleasure to explore this citadel frozen in time, to discover its varied and inspired environments, even if we've seen them a thousand times before. The fact is, the execution is top-notch and the artwork creates the perfect illusion. The icing on the cake is that, in addition to offering a challenge that can be customized from start to finish, this Prince of Persia is extremely generous. The gameplay becomes denser the further you go, and the mechanics merge together to create some memorable platforming and boss battles. There's no need to beat about the bush: Prince of Persia The Lost Crown marks the return of the license with a vengeance, and is not only a great success but also an excellent surprise.

Star Ocean The Second Story R is an excellent remake that strikes the perfect balance between reworking the base material and preserving a proven formula. The 2.5D graphics are a feast for the eyes, the music is mesmerizing, and is facing an effective story, but that can put off at first.

Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is a very good experience, if not a truly excellent one. Ubisoft wants to sell us a colossal AAAA, but the truth is that it's rather a solid AAA. It's based on excellent foundations, and has managed to personalize enough things we've seen everywhere else to draw us into its universe, but the most fussy will not be fooled, or will only be fooled for a few hours. The game quickly shows its limitations. Yes, the world is magnificent, the art direction borrowed from the movies is incredible, the music, always in keeping with the theme, takes your breath away and you enjoy the journey. The main storyline takes care of itself, as do the side quests. But the pacing problem and a number of other little things, such as a less-than-stellar FR dubbing, technical glitches and a shaky AI, quickly bring us back to reality. The game lacks polish, even though it's teeming with details that make it extremely faithful to the universe it's based on. All in all, an excellent adaptation, but also a good open-world action game.

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.

RoboCop: Rogue City stands out as the most accomplished video game adaptation of this iconic action hero from the 80s. The game manages to captivate fans with its atmosphere and thrills.

UFO ROBOT GRENDIZER : The Feast of the Wolves is an excellent tribute game but as a video game, it doesn't achieve much. While the gameplay is really enjoyable, the challenges quickly become repetitive, and the game suffers from major technical problems such as clipping and occasional framerate drops. A game for nostalgic gamers and hardcore fans of the anime, who will forgive anything the game can't do right.

If you have never played a Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, Storm Connections is clearly for you since it compiles the best, but also the worst of the previous games. The game fills its compilation function and pushes the fan service enough, with an original story touching enough, to invite itself on the library of a regular license also.

Alan Wake 2 is definitely one of the best games of the year as it ridicules the competition on many levels. It is the result of many years of experimentation. Remedy signs here an important episode for the history of the studio, its connected universe and for Alan. A meta game at all levels that will embark us on an adventure that takes to the guts. Story well tied, strong character, careful writing, it has it all.

Super Mario RPG is an excellent remake. The game is atypical and very old school, but has enough quality for us to give it our full attention, especially since the improvements are numerous. Graphic redesign, alignment of the artistic direction of the characters, adjustment of the quality of life... Super Mario RPG will be the perfect gateway for players who have never played an RPG in their life. Accessible and fun, it nevertheless remains interesting thanks to its combo system in combat and its small strategic dimension. Without being a real must-have, Super Mario RPG remains a very good vintage which will certainly have a place in the game library of lovers of the franchise and perhaps even in that of the curious.

With Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, Activision has unfortunately proved right all those who have been criticizing the franchise since the dawn of time, with arguments that are sometimes a little excessive. This time, it's impossible to prove them wrong. Under the guise of nostalgia, we're treated to maps we've already seen and heard of, and nothing new, nor any major changes, just to get the ball rolling again. The campaign is short and uneven. There are a few memorable sequences, but they can be counted on the fingers of one hand. As for the zombie mode, it's a simple mix of DMZ and Cold War Zombie thrown together on the new Warzone map. Even if it's not all bad news - the game's multiplayer is pretty solid, and the sensations and gunplay are cool - Activision knows that when we hear you talk about a "premium experience", we don't believe it for a moment. And yet it's a very good customer who's telling you here, not without a certain sadness.

Presented as both a transitional episode and the best in the series, Football Manager 2024 succeeds in this double challenge. Firstly, because it subtly introduces mechanics that are bound to be improved in the years to come. Secondly, because it concentrates the best of the previous opuses, while pushing the level of quality to the maximum. Long live Football Manager... and long live the sequel, gentlemen!

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?

Song of Nunu is a must-have for all League of Legends fans. It adds even more substance to the now canonical LoL universe, and it's a delight to discover the story of Nunu and Willump, but that's not all... Many surprises await you too. For neophytes, the game is the perfect gateway to the universe. Very accessible, perhaps even too much so to the point of forgetting the challenge, Song of Nunu is a truly colorful tale. Freljord, the region depicted here, is magnificent. The art direction is superb, and the work Tequila Works has done to give life and soul to our heroes is remarkable. We become attached to the duo and their story. It's a pity that the gameplay is a little clumsy and imprecise. The staging and environments largely save the day, but the platforming phases are not very exciting. All in all, a fresh and highly enjoyable experience, a very good vintage.

Lords of the Fallen is not without its faults, and sometimes confuses difficulty, vicious level design and total frustration. The game presents itself as a very solid soulslike that, while borrowing heavily from its models, still has its own identity. Playing in two parallel universes is an excellent idea, and technically, it's quite impressive, thanks in particular to the Unreal Engine 5. The art direction is not to be outdone, with superb panoramas, sometimes horrific, but always successful. It's a pity that this second infernal world is also one of the game's sources of frustration. An ill-adjusted difficulty peak, a level design that's sometimes too severe and a problem with the distribution of checkpoints mean that the game often gets on our nerves. But if you're looking for a difficult game that's beautiful to cry over, and which relies on truly fluid and enjoyable gameplay, Lords of the Fallen could well be just what you're looking for.
