The RPG aspect is so dominant that we forgive the technical issues and the lack of artistic ambition […] Deep but ugly, the sign of games that last.

For their first game, Wild Wits has created an adventure story that constantly gives us the impression of making the wrong choice, and the universe is so rich that it's difficult not to succumb. While the card game's mechanics are solid and offer small subtleties to help you stand out from the crowd, the battles still struggle to differentiate themselves from each other and prevent you from varying your approaches.

Battlefield 6 is, above all, a game of reconquest — an attempt to win back its historical community and to atone for BF2042. Under those conditions, the mission to deliver a classic “made in Battlefield” experience is fulfilled, and whether it’s in terms of gameplay, feel, or weapon balancing in multiplayer, it’s a solid overall success. In this context, it’s hard to see the franchise revolutionizing or even shaking up its formula, but the multiplayer aspect holds up well — and that’s what matters most right now. The few attempts at innovation, starting with the campaign, feel more like a desire to mimic Call of Duty than anything else, complete with that tiresome brand of Americanism — and we’re still angry about that story conclusion, which recalls the darkest hours of CoD. If you’re going to copy Activision, at least don’t take the bad stuff — though to be fair, we’ve already avoided the overabundance of ugly skins, and that’s already a pretty big victory.

This arcade racing game lacks some arguments in the long run.

Intense action, great visuals and impressive characters customization system, we are full of praise for this best episode of the saga gameplay-wise.

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.

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.

A good imitation [of Mario Kart], fun and clever, but so trivial.

This is a high-quality artistic and visual offering that has been made possible by flawless technical execution. It's hard not to be fascinated by our first transformation of the desert into a lush oasis teeming with fish, and when you add to that easy-to-learn and instantly rewarding surfing mechanics, you get a little gem that you'll forgive for its minor flaws.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is far from a bad game, but it’s a major missed opportunity. It’s a technically flawless beat ’em up that chose the safety of past success over the cosmic daring its premise deserved. It suffers from Marvel’s current timidity and ends up feeling noticeably unbalanced when played solo. Its final score reflects only the raw quality of the pixel art and the sheer fun of its multiplayer mode. For anyone expecting a soft revolution, or even just a small step forward after Shredder’s Revenge, the disappointment hits hard. The talent is there, but the inspiration clearly took a holiday. Unless you’re a die-hard Marvel comics fan, it’s hard to recommend opening your wallet.

With its great single player campaign and friendly multiplayer, we could even say that GoldenEye 007 is the best game adaptation of James Bond's adventures, if we expect, of course, the first GoldenEye 007, untouchable.
