Is Ninja Gaiden 4 bad ? No. Yakumo advances the saga's gameplay in a modern fashion, but the new gameplay mechanics introduce a few means to easily cheese through encounters, partially undercutting the fighting game roots brought by the late Tomonobu Itagaki. And the level design is not good either, with recycled environments galore. But PlatinumGames' new, inexperienced team still brings in action game goodness with instant lightning-fast battles, gory executions and a few great bosses to make you try a new run in Master Ninja mode or complete the post-game trials. Ninja Gaiden 4 also probably is a good onboarding experience for series newcomers.

Like Traveller's Tales' LEGO saga last episodes, this new LEGO Star Wars isn't surprising but gameplay and rhythm are more mastered. A cool adventure, especially when you have a friend to play with.

Death Rally comes back to life on iPhone and it's still an easygoing nervous arcade game. Actually, it's even better thanks to some stunning visuals. It's a shame though that some control issues, the lack of multiplayer mode and its dull Career mode keep Death Rally from being as memorable as it could be.

In its eagerness to move beyond meritocracy, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined forgets the value of hard work. Absolutely charming in its polished and highly successful graphics and its writing, which remains relevant despite its age, this remake-that-isn't-quite-a-remake suffers from an excess of leniency, to the point of neglecting game balance, which is fundamental to the enjoyment of the game. The challenges of modernization are sometimes difficult to overcome, and while we commend the work done on the combat and job systems for this return to the spotlight, the iconic DQ7 would have benefited from retaining at least some of its original rough edges.

Marathon makes excellent use of Bungie's strengths, whether in its narrative, visuals, or gameplay. But despite this polished presentation, it remains a relatively conventional extraction shooter, and the few attempts to differentiate it—particularly the fast-paced and challenging combat and the hero system—fail to truly convince. There's no doubt the game will find the dedicated community it deserves for its undeniable qualities, but following the vibrant Arc Raiders unfortunately makes Marathon somewhat bland for the average player.

More story driven than the previous episodes, more serious and guided as well, LEGO Harry Potter : Years 1 – 4 transcribes the JK Rowling universe well, and targets, as such, more the Harry Potter fans who will revive some of the best scenes of the four first novels/movies, than the LEGO games ones.

Dynasty Warriors 7 is trying hard to spark some life in a genre Koei invented all by themselves ten years ago. Maybe they are trying way too hard.

Cairn is a good game that masters its subject matter and mechanics, as well as its raw emotions and the authenticity of its narrative. For some, it will even certainly serve as a pretext for self-reflection. But there's a catch that leaves a bitter taste: it could have been excellent. The Game Bakers had all the ingredients to cook up an exceptional dish, but the whole thing is undercooked, and a few clunky bugs and other missteps spoil the mountain adventure. This is the strange feeling that Cairn leaves you with. After this exhausting climb on every level, it gives the impression of being both on top of the world and utterly defeated. And to think we were just a pickaxe swing away from becoming one with the mountain.

If reading this review gives you hives, it's no coincidence: that's exactly the feeling the author experienced for much of the time spent playing Trails Beyond The Horizon. It's high time for Falcom to have a wake-up call regarding its flagship series: by constantly offering the same structure (whether narrative, gameplay, or even exploration), even the most dedicated players will inevitably sigh at the inherent redundancy of this new installment, which simply rehashes an already worn-out formula. Boredom prevails over excitement, at least during the first long half of the game, and the multitude of characters paraded for the sake of fan service won't be enough (even for seasoned fans) to maintain interest in the long run. If you manage to get past the thirty-hour mark, a good game is hidden somewhere within. But this is a recurring issue that we wish we didn't have to point out anymore: once again, yet again, another Trails game only truly takes off after dozens of hours of gameplay. Perhaps it's time to return to the fundamentals: streamline this world and refocus the plot, and you'll have something worthwhile. As it stands, however, on the horizon of the Trails series, this is once again a bit of a slog, despite a story that is far more satisfying than that of its predecessor.

Life is Strange: Reunion manages to sidestep the fan service that Max and Chloe’s return could have leaned into, delivering a story that holds up well—and, above all, a rather satisfying conclusion for both heroines. Deck Nine still struggles to fix some pacing issues in its storytelling, and Max’s time-rewinding powers feel somewhat underused, but the overall experience remains a positive note on which to say goodbye to this universe. Let’s just hope no one gets the bad idea of giving it a sequel.

Deliver At All Costs falls somewhere between two stools. On one side, you'll find a rather zany arcade racing game where pedestrians and buildings are mere obstacles for your jet-powered pickup truck; on the other, you'll have a bizarre thriller that flies off in all directions without ever hitting the mark. It's like Crazy Taxi meets the cutscenes of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Moreover, despite a good attempt to break the monotony in the third act, the various explorable cities become less and less well-developed, probably reflecting a lack of budget or inspiration as development neared its end. Not bad, but not very memorable either.

While Post Trauma's art direction is well-polished, and Red Soul Games plays with Unreal Engine 5 to deliver a few polished shots, the whole thing quickly falls apart due to a completely lunar storyline. Its dialogue evokes a bad parody of Silent Hill, as does everything else, for that matter; from mediocre combat to uneven puzzles, Post Trauma retains almost nothing but the flaws of its illustrious predecessors. At fifteen euros, it's not too bad, you might say. Certainly! Red Soul Games should, however, free itself from its inspirations to find its way and overcome its pitfalls, because while there is potential in this team, this first copy goes astray too often to remain memorable.

While the fundamental idea of ​​FBC: Firebreak is entirely relevant, Remedy completely misses its multiplayer turn due to inconsistent and counterintuitive systems that are made even more incomprehensible by the stubborn absence of any decent tutorials. Despite the Finnish studio's many talents, no one has ensured the bare minimum for a premium multiplayer game in 2025. Very tight content, absence of basic communication tools... nothing impossible to adjust in the medium term, but for once, we're going to say it: an early access period would have been welcome to correct the obvious before crashing into a launch that's already been publicly crucified. Losing control happens even to the best.

If Yakuza 3 Remastered was kept readily accessible, then Yakuza Kiwami 3's mistakes wouldn't be such a big issue. But RGG Studio has decided to erase the original version in favor of a weaker, less inspired remake, with an outright stupid twist ending and watered-down gameplay (despite a few enjoyable side activities along the way). The Dark Ties gaiden game offers an interesting look into Mine's backstory and would be enjoyable as a budget title on its own, but the overall package is found lacking, to say nothing of Teruyuki Kagawa's involvement and RGG Studio's silence on that matter. Yakuza feels like a headless cash cow now. Let's hope Stranger Than Heaven strikes gold.
