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.

With its Quest Mode a bit tedious but full of good will, its tracklist full of metal songs and without much compromise, its nice mise-en-scene for gigs and its relatively high difficulty, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock will please gamers the most eager for the license.

The PS Move compatibility ends to be a bit of a gadget in this Heavy Rain Move Edition, but it will help gamers to get the game at less cost… even if it means going back to the gamepad, also suitable.

A pleasant game with a catchy world and a strong structure […] With more diversity, less speech and a better calibration regarding movements and graphics, Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom could have become one of the giants of its class.

Much like his protagonist Ichigo, Bleach : Rebirth of Souls is no messiah. While Bandai Namco and Tamsoft go to great lengths to deliver an original anime fighting game while avoiding arena fighter trappings, combat mechanics are too light to remain interesting over time. Bleach : Rebirth of Souls mainly targets shinigami fanatics and hardcore fans able to find every detail and reference scattered through the game. Good enough, I say.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree really does have some strong arguments at the end of its staff. Its duo system allows it to offer both engaging gameplay and enjoyable stories. On top of that, the woodblock print style gives it undeniable charm. And we have to add the developers’ great generosity. On paper, then, there’s no reason to be bored with the new game from Brownies and Bandai Namco. But between theory and practice, there is sometimes a gulf. The beauty of Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree unfortunately fades as the hours go by. It scatters, sometimes loses itself, and leaves us with the impression of gorging on content without managing to fully appreciate it. By trying too hard to be on all fronts, Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree gradually drifts away from the innovative and delightful experience it could have been. The game certainly has potential, but it lacks the guardians to raise it among the sacred games.

Possessor(s) betrays Heart Machine's experience with amateurish flaws, ranging from unpleasant controls to a very unremarkable metroidvania level structure. Ultimately feels like a first draft with good intentions and absolutely stellar artworks interspersed throughout.

We very easily forgive High on Life 2 its few flaws. The combat remains dynamic enough and the levels well designed enough for its weaknesses to feel secondary when set against the festival of stupidity it delivers. The game draws us in above all for its comedic proposition, and on that front it is a great success. Whether in the writing of its characters, the dialogue, or in certain offbeat situations—both in terms of gameplay and visually—the studio has spared no effort in bringing to life the wildest and most ridiculous ideas that crossed their minds. How can one not respect such dedication in elevating stupidity to the status of a true art form?

Super Meat Boy 3D has strong bones, but gets lost in the three-dimensional sauce. You will die 'n retry often, for sure, with a bunch of tight levels and clever secrets to conquer for true old-school masochists, but too many deaths - and so, too many retries - stem from perspective issues which create artificial difficulty. Sluggerfly's game feel shines when the studio actually focuses on delivering a clever 3D experience rather than translating 2D ideas into a game space with depth, which induces an excessive margin of error in every movement. Do try the demo version before buying.

A great game for those who are nostalgic or meticulous or for large families.

Ace Combat Joint Assault is too stingy and too clumsy on certain aspects to inspire us more than that.

It's hard to be fully enthusiastic about Black Mirror 2, with its easy puzzles and lousy atmosphere.

A case of style over substance. Despite an abysmal scenario and some flaws regarding the core gameplay, The 3rd Birthday remains a technically solid game and an enjoyable experience overall.

Terminator 2D : No Fate is a splendid 16/32-bits throwback, no doubt, but the very short runtime and lack of T-800 sequences are baffling while advertised modes and alternate scenarios end up very limited in scope. As a result, the 29,99€ price tag is tough to swallow in this economy and roster of regular releases.
