    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
    There are words we don't dare use too often: due to their overused nature, the very essence of their meaning seems to have lost its substance over the years. "Masterpiece" is one of them. And yet, we feel like breaking the rule for Clair Obscur: Expeditions 33. We have here a lesson in scriptwriting mastery, artistic vision, and gameplay complexity rarely achieved in a game of this genre. The few small technical flaws (potentially corrected with a day one patch) cannot overcome the excellence and elegance depicted here with transpiring passion. The picture fills up, little by little, and the watercolor reveals a unique depth over the course of the adventure, which will be remembered for years to come. As for the fact that this is the first game from a French studio with overflowing ambitions, that's just the icing on the cake.

    Donkey Kong Bananza
    Nintendo keeps tinkering and perfecting its 3D platformer formula through Donkey Kong Bananza, a really good collectathon and a heartfelt homage to the entire franchise. Early levels are far too easy and controls can be finicky at times, sure, but the gorilla's new adventures offer cristallized joy and sunshine with intuitive mechanics, colorful biomes and wacky hijinxes through the Earth's underground.

    Hollow Knight: Silksong
    Hollow Knight: Silksong is quite the thorny case, because you can easily be disappointed in the face of its numerous hardships. By shipping a much more difficult experience, Team Cherry may lose some players. A daring choice we could praise if it was more slickly executed. Team Cherry had a real treasure but lost pearls along the way. But Silksong is no bad game. It remains a singular poetic experience, different from 8 years ago. Sceptics will need to accept the game has real qualities, from its univers to its improved combat mechanics. So then, we remember Silksong was born as a DLC. And it could have been an excellent DLC.

    Sid Meier's Civilization V
    Sure, Civilization V is a good game we'll play with pleasure… but before going back to serious business with Civilization III or IV.

    Total War: Shogun 2
    Polished to the core with freshness and excellence, Total War : Shogun 2 is a mastered lecture of design of every kind, reinforced by a fully renewed multiplayer. Better and deeper than we could expect, this episode sits on the very top of the franchise, by far.

    despelote
    Halfway between a game and an interactive autobiographical narrative, Despelote is a short but captivating experience about the carefree nature of childhood. But it's also a solid exposé of the vital place football occupies for an entire society, in all its forms. From barroom discussions to people watching matches on TVs in stores windows to newlyweds forced to put a TV in the reception room, football is everywhere.

    Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

    Pokemon Pokopia
    Pokémon Pokopia met our expectations, even if it's not perfect. It does have a repetitive aspect inherent to the genre, which won't appeal to everyone, and some technical issues that can become annoying over time. However, if you enjoy relaxing atmospheres and don't want to overthink things, there's a good chance this game will satisfy you if you're willing to pay the price, because in terms of playtime, you'll definitely get your money's worth.

    Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
    Just like its predecessor, Death Stranding 2 will divide opinion. As long as you were receptive to the initial proposition, this second installment picks up all the foundations to enrich them—whether in terms of story, with Kojima's so characteristic touch (even if it means reusing the same narrative structures), or in terms of gameplay with more tools available, smoother driving, and combat that has gained a lot in dynamism. It is also a visually and technically flawless game, and the theme of connection with others remains an incredible driving force, making us interact with other players we will never see. It is a journey that we will remember for a long time and one that fits into a kind of continuity for Kojima.

    Resident Evil Requiem
    For the very last (?) ride in Raccoon City, Resident Evil Requiem delivers a healthy blend of survival-horror tropes and references from almost every main episode of the franchise. Alas, this does also mean its edge is sometimes dulled by an avalanche of cameos, winks at the camera, and even more ridiculous twists than usual. While the Rhodes Hill center is one of the best Resident Evil locations ever put to screen with gorgeously detailed zombies and a tried-and-true approach to level design, the game does suffer from "Resident Evil syndrome" as quality, care and precision start waning as the adventure progresses. Still an essential buy for survival-horror enthusiasts.
