    The Precinct won't appeal to everyone. Its serious approach, its desire to make you take responsibility, its disenchanted atmosphere, and its offbeat gameplay choices won't please fans of easy action or total freedom. But for players looking for a different kind of action game (and for roleplay enthusiasts), with a real underlying vision and intelligent gameplay, it's an experience worth trying. Despite the technical hiccups, The Precinct is a game we can only recommend. Because it has substance. Because it dares. And because, beneath its retro crime story style, it surprisingly speaks well about our times.

    The only originality in Fantastic Pets is its dragons and its unicorns. Despite its augmented reality function, this game is less interesting than Kinectimals because of its poor gameplay and its not so lovable cartoon creatures.

    According to Aphelion, it all comes down to hope. If that were truly the case, Don’t Nod’s latest title would undoubtedly reach soaring heights. But much like its characters, the game must confront the harsh reality. It is not always an easy feat to reconcile narrative intensity with video game mechanics. On the narrative front, it delivers—despite a certain lack of originality. Yet, in many other respects, Aphelion lacks the precision that would have allowed the title to leave a lasting imprint on players' memories—and not just those of narrative game enthusiasts. It is thanks to its realism and its handling of emotions that it nonetheless succeeds in offering a rewarding journey through its own vision of space. It is an enjoyable space vacation, featuring a few particularly memorable moments—though the memory of it will surely eventually fade with time, much like the silhouette of a planet on the horizon.

    Call of Duty : Black Ops 7 walked into Battlefield 6's release like Sideshow Bob walking into a comically big rake. From a disastrous coop campaign to an overly-complex zombie mode, this is probably the worst main episode ever released, feeling like a 2010's parody of Call of Duty.

    Code Vein 2 is a textbook example. It's a testament to a glaring lack of inspiration, revealing, if any further proof were needed, the utter emptiness of a work that merely copies without ever daring to be original. Uninspired assemblage is the hallmark of a creative who doesn't know how to create. And one is led to wonder how Code Vein 2 even exists: limited in its narrative (as abstruse as can be), in its gameplay (completely devoid of any real feeling), in its structure (why open up a world only to close it off in its possibilities?), and even in its art direction (all the clichés are there), it's nothing more than a collection of ideas that sound good but struggle to generate interest from the very first minutes. And this continues right up to its inevitable conclusion, which, in the context of this review, proved to offer a far greater sense of liberation than that of having defeated a challenging enemy.

    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.

    Neither sacrilegious nor godly, God of War: Sons of Sparta is a pretty decent metroidvania romp. Mega Cat Studios wears its Blasphemous influence on its sleeve with enchanting pixel art landscapes, crunchy combat and secrets galore, yet, at launch, the game is brought down by bugs and performance issues. Wait for a few patches.

    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.

    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.

    It's impossible to remain indifferent to Shadow Labyrinth. Behind a modest package and a slightly (very) outlandish promise, it's a work that's both respectful and subversive, tender and metaphysical, ingenious and technically imperfect. We're dealing here with a radical author's game stuck in the tight-fitting costume of a forty-year-old license, a gamer's manifesto for gamers, and a profound homage to an entire history of Japanese video games. It's not a classic, nor a blockbuster, but it's certainly a sincere and dense experience that more than deserves its favorite label.

    Despite some great ideas and undeniable skill in creating a coherent and engaging world, Greedfall: The Dying World will struggle to be the saving grace for Spiders and Nacon. It never truly escapes its major structural shortcomings (which have only worsened since Greedfall). Its utterly forgettable combat (due in large part to its disconcerting simplicity) fails to generate any real enjoyment. The worst part is that it's hard not to see in this sequel (which isn't really one) the skeleton of a good game. There's soul there, at least. But because of its fragmented structure, outdated design choices, and overall flawed presentation, the title chosen for Spiders' latest release might very well end up being sadly prophetic.

    It took six years, multiple studios, countless reboots, and a trail of broken promises to finally deliver Bloodlines 2. The result is utterly schizophrenic : a game too ambitious for its budget, yet too timid for its own universe. What was meant to reinvent the vampire RPG ends up merely mimicking its conventions. Bled dry by compromise, Bloodlines 2 has lost what little vitality it had left. Beneath layers of code and the scars of its tortured development, you can still glimpse what it might have been: a gothic tragedy about duality, a nocturnal political fresco, a mirror held up to our own thirst for power. But that dream didn’t survive the daylight.

    Far from the polished Streets of Rage 4, Double Dragon Revive stumbles over its balancing and rushes its finishing touches. Yet behind all the clumsiness of this brawler lies a small heart that beats to the rhythm of fluid combos and punks sent flying into dumpsters, windows, and electric panels. These environmental finishers add both soul and impact to a beat ’em up that takes a little longer than usual to reveal its strengths over its flaws. While waiting for some much-needed patches, Double Dragon Revive doesn’t deserve to appear in your favorite YouTuber’s “Top 5 Worst Double Dragon Games,” and that’s already something. But it does show just how far this franchise still has to go as it searches for a better future without tarnishing its past.
