    Rigorous gameplay and freedom make Of Ash and Steel a challenging but captivating RPG. Every exploration, encounter, and achievement must be earned, offering a unique and immersive experience.

    With its masterful art direction, South of Midnight nevertheless suffers from gameplay that is far too poor, a bestiary that doesn't renew itself enough, and a story that doesn't follow through on its project or deepen its subtext.

    Rather austere in its presentation, and repetitive in its gameplay, Foretales unpacks an intriguing story via its roguelite storytelling, which has you throwing game after game, but in moderation. You'll want to achieve one good ending at least.

    Ubisoft won't change its Far Cry formula, but it doesn't polish it either. There's no effort made to improve IA and the whole tone of the game is borderline schizophrenic with fun and horror battling for attention. Despite this, Far Cry 6 remains fun and obsessive for explorers and completionists, with a ton of things to do and see (and kill).

    The World Ends With You is back with its impeccable style and unique atmosphere, with a long awaited sequel. The combats are exceptionally punchy, the characters are interesting and endearing, and the music is unforgettable. The story succeeds at onboarding newcomers as well as answering a lot of questions fans of the first game had for years. NEO remains, however, like its predecessor, a very linear adventure, with pacing issues and gameplay that can become tedious.

    Eldegarde shows itself at its best, with a version that has fully benefited from its early access to capitalize on its areas for improvement and put them into practice. Not everything is perfect yet, however, and it requires full commitment to really enjoy this new release, but the progress is palpable.

    For a series that releases an opus every two years, Sniper Elite: Resistance's new chapter offers a rather unobtrusive evolution of its formula, sticking to the basics of what Sniper Elite 5 was all about. Nevertheless, it's a thoroughly honest game that will delight fans of the series and newcomers alike.

    Solo players will complete everything Mario Strikers has to offer pretty quickly, the game is being focused on multi. It's a solid game, from the gameplay, technical and artistic point of view, but it still needs some content updates.

    Robocop Rogue City Unfinished Business is a bit of a "same old, same old" in a condensed format that gets right to the heart of the matter: more fun, more excitement, more action... And well, that's pretty good as it is.

    High On Life is a Comedy FPS that hits its target with its writing but not so much with its shooting. Too bad there's no localised version because it's really funny.

    Syberia Remaster accurately and respectfully brings a cult adventure up to date, but its uneven technical finish and a few hiccups prevent the journey from being completely smooth.

    Here we are, the Switch 2 has its own racing game. The Mario Kart alternative is quite different, more substantial, but still lacks content despite a mountain of unlockables. We appreciate the user-friendliness ethos and the visual vibrancy, but it will always feel a bit thin beyond that initial layer - it's best suited to short multiplayer sessions, without the sustained appeal of a game like Smash Bros.

    If its gameplay can feel common and somewhat frustrating, Under The Waves shines through the serious themes addressed with great respect and maturity, that should leave a mark on you.

    Sport mode is a mess and doesn't do justice to the incredible qualities of Dakar Desert Rally. The game is way better on Pro and Sim modes. Following to roadbook to find your path in this absolutely huge Saudi Arabia feels really great.

    LEGO 2K Drive fulfills its specifications with a fun and accessible game, without managing to shine in its genre.

    Tandem: A Tale of Shadows has a very sketchy staging and uneven technique. The game finds its strength in its solid gameplay, even though it is suffering from a lack of polish.

    • 70 Critic Score
    The first "new" Monkey Ball in over a decade does the job, respects its elders and injects new, coherent, no-frills mechanics. The few extras provide a welcome bonus, but the whole thing is brought down by a technical assessment that is largely flunked by the Gamecube. What a shame!

    Tides of Tomorrow delivers an innovative concept, breaking away from the usual conventions with its asynchronous gameplay mechanic, which works remarkably well. Another striking and cohesive experience added to DigixArt’s catalog.

    Targeting every platform lover out there, Kaze and the Wild Masks’s demanding gameplay might put off some, especially during the second part of the game. But its attractive world, art, and its homage to the classics of the genre make for a fun and colorful adventure.

    JDM Japan Drift Master returns to the fundamentals of racing games, offering marked progression, immediate enjoyment, and an advanced drift culture. An affordable, enjoyable title with a unique identity.

    Ambitious, mesmerizing and scary, The Medium's parallel worlds provide a brilliant atmosphere without reaching the full potential of their promises. Its lack of gameplay is balanced by an impressive narration, nonetheless.

    Capcom and Fujiwara are resurrecting a legendary hard series and it is a success. They found a middle ground between tradition and modernity. Ghosts and Goblins Resurrection is indeed really smooth on Switch but some enemies and platform phases are really hard and random which makes the experience sometimes unfair. It's definitely not a game for everyone.

    Wild Hearts is a good experience in the monster hunting genre without upsetting the usual standards, well established by the competition.

    This Echoes of Wisdom is a clever subversion, but a little more intrusive than it would like to be, due to complicated mapping and a few situations inherent in this philosophy. A minor Zelda game but one whose radicalism is commendable.

    A bit more complex, a bit more polished, Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a typical follow up for the first game, with just what is needed, no more, no less. A title that remains a bit weak compared to the norm for this genre.

    Painkiller version 2025 embraces its shift to a game-as-a-service model and does it well, even if it comes at the cost of its soul. It's a good cooperative outlet, fast-paced and fluid, but one that leaves early fans behind.

    It's nice to get back to Subnautica for more narration and survival in this intriguing SF world built by Unknown World. But Below Zero feels like it aimed for more and didn't achieve it. We're left with a nice new story and great environments, but also a bit of frustration.

    Screamer is as captivating as it is frustrating. Driven by a stunning art direction and thrilling gameplay, it truly shines when it lets players express their skills freely.

    A nice new coat of paint for Alan Wake, and the gameplay doesn't change a bit for better or worse. An unforgettable experience even now, but might be that your memories of the game itself are embellished and Alan Wake did age a bit.

    Riders Republic isn't called Steep 2 because of new gameplay functionnalities and its added little bit of craziness, but at its core it really is just a sequel, without much innovation. Still fun to play though, if you find your own pace through the repetitiveness.

    The gameplay in Top Spin 2K25 is so through that it seems out of this world. Unfortunately, the lack of simple features like playing with friends online or a really small roster of athletes will let the players with the feeling that they are playing an early access version. 2K has to support this game and franchise, we're almost at the peak.
