    Artistically, then, Tales of Kenzera Zau stands out in every way. From its narrative to its visuals to its OST, everything is done to take us on an extremely touching and personal journey. It's so heartfelt and soulful that the rest suffers. The level design is relatively classic for the genre, as is the gameplay which, while particularly exhilarating and satisfying, leaves us with the feeling of not being exploited to its full potential. Tales of Kenzera often moves too fast, or is it so successful that it leaves you wanting more, the question remains. The fact is, as it stands, it's a breath of fresh air, a tangy treat that offers rare sensations. Absolutely touching.

    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.

    Contra: Operation Galuga very quickly fell low. Not for its difficulty even arduous in Easy, because it is the DNA of the game. But for its lack of content and interest over time. The absence of online co'op and crossplay, which would have taken this game a certain step, is unacceptable, even more so when the positioning of the title for purchase is around 40 euros. Hardcore fans of the license and over scoring (not even enough to compare these stats with other players or have a world ranking, pfff) will sign at the bottom of the page. The others… not sure they read this whole contract.

    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.

    South Park Snow Day could have been one the worst games of this iconic series, but it's not ! If you like the humor and you're cherish all these characters, you could have an enjoyable moment alone, or with friends. Playing this game in co-op eliminates this feeling of artificial difficulty. The experience feels a little bit old, but there are cool elements like playing cards. Give it a shot if you love South Park and don't expect a great game.

    Rise of the Ronin is the most ambitious game of Team Ninja and by far. Much more narrative than its predecessors, it unfortunately takes quite a long time to become really interesting. That's the risk when you want to create fiction when it doesn’t need to. But it is also the fault of an open world far behind a certain Ghost of Tsushima. In the end Rise of the Ronin is an open world game among many others, but with an ultra-dynamic, demanding and very deep gameplay.

    The first Dragon's Dogma was already a very unique game in its own right, that sadly did not shine as bright as it should have. With Dragon's Dogma 2, Capcom went above and beyond everything we could have hoped for. From its gigantic and beautifully well crafted open world we excitedly want to explore in its every nook and cranny to its brilliantly epic gameplay and the oh so genius Pawn system, this sequel is a masterpiece that majestically gives justice to that franchise very close to Capcom's heart. An absolute must-have for every fan of open-world RPGs. We'll see your Pawns when you get there, Arisens. T'is a marvelous adventure, indeed !

    If you're expect Alone in the Dark (2024) to be the next Resident Evil 2 Remake or Dead Space Remake, you'll be dumbfounded. Yes, the series used to a reference for survival horror, but that's no longer the case. This remake has to many flaws to be really enjoyable. The overall film noir atmosphere, with its doom jazz music, is appealing but underused. And on the other hand, the game suffers from narrative issues, a lack of memorable moments and isn't simply good enough. Finally, it's more like a thriller than a satisfaying survival horror experience.

    WWE 2K24 is clearly aiming at wrestling fans. They will not be disoriented level taken in hand by the arrival of new features in the execution of certain shots. Nor by the few technical flaws. The new games are way too much fun and the Showcase mode dedicated to Wrestlemania is really successful. But the graphic limits and a certain lack of variety in the content, are all defects are unfortunate. But WWE 2K24 succeeds in its mission : to entertain us.

    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.

    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.

    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.
