Kiln is an original concept, simple and effective, that hits the target, though its few weaknesses add some shadows when it comes to the final conclusion. It feels fresh and fun, but lacks the depth needed to sustain interest over time.

Invincible VS is a competent tag fighter with interesting systems that deepens the basics of the genre, but its approach to content in a modern fighting game is perhaps a bit to old school.

Cozy, somber and cerebral, a respectful mini-adventure from the tremendous Norwegian series.

A solid first half carried by convincing performances, appealing environments and an excellent soundtrack won't save Aphelion from its unsatisfying resolutions and simplistic gameplay for everyone.

Mouse: P.I. For Hire might not be the most subtle detective in the game, but he certainly has style, and sometimes that’s all it takes to make a difference.

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.

At times innovative and, above all, immersive, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss offers a solid experience for a mystery game, but it sorely lacks the horror element that’s supposed to send shivers down your spine.

Last Flag is built on a simple and effective concept, getting straight to the point: immediate fun, without any detours. While the first moments in-game feel magical, Last Flag will still need strong assets to keep its player base hooked, which will require additions to be implemented quickly and on a regular basis.

A captivating universe and lore for those willing to read its codex and accept an imperfect gameplay.

An original and engaging gameplay concept built around a strong dual-character idea, but quickly dragged down by repetition, lack of challenge, and a weak narrative that prevents Pragmata from truly taking off.

The franchise's return to the 3D platformer genre is marred by perspective issues and technical shortcomings.

An expansion in the continuity of The War Within, offering dense, well-crafted content along with several major additions, including a new race, and above all: housing.

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. However, questionable balancing choices too often hold it back, preventing it from reaching the heights it clearly aims for.

Replaying Fighting Force today feels like stumbling upon an old childhood toy. You can clearly see it’s a little broken, a little cheap… but it’s still oddly endearing.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is a simple but effective cooperative experience, brilliantly combining action, tactics, progression, and fun. It’s a solid choice for groups of friends looking to refresh their catalog for a few explosive evenings.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly, the original, is a classic any survival horror fan would recommend, but it’s also a game that has aged quite a lot. This remake does an impressive job of refreshing its presentation and delivers an unmatched atmosphere that will delight fans of classic Japanese horror cinema. The gameplay, however, remains stuck two decades in the past, and the improvements aren’t enough to make the combat less stiff or more enjoyable, turning every encounter with an evil spirit into an exhausting ordeal.

Greedfall The Dying World has high ambitions for a title of its rank, and manages to deliver on most of them when you pick up the controller. Spiders has captured the essence of the RPG genre, combining a solid narrative side, a living world that evolves alongside us, and rich gameplay. It's a major title for the AA world, with its strengths and weaknesses.

Fans of Planet of Lana should not be disappointed by the second installment of this adventure, just a little frustrated by its episodic nature.

Tales of Berseria Remastered marks the return to form of a major opus, prioritizing efficiency over spectacle with a version that provides the necessary comfort to fully enjoy the journey without betraying its DNA.

Sons of Sparta faithfully takes elements from God of War games and mixes them with a by-the-book, sometimes too linear and clumsy metroidvania.

An ambitious episode which, despite its imperfections, proves that the legendary goblin has lost none of its splendour. Not everything is perfect, but the goblin knows how to use its charms and assets to achieve its ends.

A confident sequel that manages to stay true to its guiding principle and the fundamentals of its formula, while adding enough changes to make those who enjoyed the first game want to dive back into Nevendaar.

Heart of the Forest is a more than decent proposition on paper, but one that struggles to materialize and come to life properly in front of the camera.

A solid experience combining sandbox and zombie survival, solid but harsh in solo mode, demanding and enjoyable in team mode.

Without fully correcting the errors of the original Yakuza (and potentially adding new ones) and adding much more content, this remake is welcome news for fans and newcomers to the series alike, thanks to its dynamism and fresh new look.

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.

My Hero Academia All's Justice delivers a more than decent video game adaptation of the manga's final arc. While not perfect, the title offers the expected dose of fun and enjoyment.

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.

Driving fast and playing with danger—that's what Lanesplit is all about. For players who are willing to make a few concessions on ergonomics and dive into a driving experience, and nothing but driving, Lanesplit could be just the ticket. But for everyone else, the debate is still open, and waiting for a few updates wouldn't be a bad idea.

While Let It Die Inferno intrigues with its ideas and universe, it fails to play to its strengths to keep us engaged over the long term. Best enjoyed in small doses, thanks to its low price, but not at high intensity as extraction games generally require.

Not the revolution needed, Renegades still is a solid DLC. Both Destiny and Star Wars are artistically respected and Guardians' new toys, especially the Praxic Blade, fit nicely in Bungie's universe. More Destiny if you want some, let's hope 2026 shakes the formula a bit more.

Farming Simulator finally finds its place on Switch 2 with this Signature Edition. Although imperfect, it finally delivers a respectable farming simulation for the Nintendo ecosystem.

Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song Remastered is a fascinating, demanding, and deeply unconventional JRPG. Its open world, offering a freedom rare for its time, provides a rich yet sometimes disorienting adventure: the game never holds the player’s hand and requires real investment to grasp its mechanics, pacing, and subtleties. The vast and vividly realized world of Mardias remains one of its greatest strengths, supported by varied environments and a distinctive art direction, despite visuals that show their age. However, the game can be punishingly difficult at times, features a sometimes finicky camera, and a structure that won’t suit all players. For those willing to engage, experiment, and accept the quirks inherited from its original design, the game remains a rewarding experience, enhanced by a pleasant soundtrack and a unique progression system.

Don’t Scream Together works above all as an intense, one-off experience based on shared fear and collective silence. Its powerful and original ideas deserve to be tested in the right conditions. But the formula struggles to reinvent itself, its balance remains precarious, and its effectiveness depends so much on context that it becomes unstable.

Thief VR offers a VR infiltration experience that works well despite its technical limitations and fragile AI. The atmosphere, object manipulation, and freedom of approach justify the investment for fans of the genre.

A solid and generally satisfying experience, especially for those who haven't played the mobile version, but marred by a scandalous lack of localization.

Filled with love and nostalgia for the genre and era, Marvel Cosmic Invasion shines for what it represents, without really adding much more.

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.

Project Motor Racing shows promise, but lacks the spark that could have taken it further. A promising foundation in need of polishing that will finally give it a real personality.

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.

The remastered version allows you to rediscover Anima from a modernized and accessible perspective. A long, varied, and immersive adventure that is thoroughly compelling.

A new installment that breaks new ground in terms of content thanks to its canonical contribution to the Zelda universe, but fails to bring anything fresh to the table in terms of form, with a slightly outdated musou formula.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 leaves a mixed impression. It moves forward, tries new things, experiments, but stumbles as soon as it attempts to surpass itself. The ideas are there, but the structure still lacks the cohesion needed to transform it all into a memorable whole. This offering remains too uneven to really take off.

Where Winds Meet combines wuxia spectacle, deep RPG gameplay, and a living world, offering an immersive experience, but a few remaining technical glitches still impact the overall feel. We want to love it and lose ourselves in this rich world, but it still needs a little more polish to reveal its true potential.

A credible foundation, but lacking magic. Rennsport comes across as a practical exercise rather than a passion. A game that exudes precision, but not speed.

Sacred 2 Remaster offers a measured but successful return. It's not revolutionary, but it's a solid and sincere tribute, polished enough to make you want to explore Ancaria once again.

Farming Simulator remains a model of simulation, and Highlands Fishing confirms GIANTS Software's mastery in developing its universe without betraying it. But for content sold for nearly thirty euros on its own, it's reasonable to expect a more immersive experience. We come away from this version feeling both appeased and a little frustrated: happy to rediscover this meticulous and lively agricultural world, but aware that the promised sea is here nothing more than a small, tranquil pond.

Tales of Xillia Remastered allows players to (re)discover a major episode of the franchise, a powerful human adventure, in a version that combines heritage and modernity.

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.

Slow, imperfect, but captivating, the experience stands out as a work in its own right. Those who accept its slowness and discomfort will find a solid, almost poetic journey into the heart of an imperfect but compelling world.

Behind its feathers and humor, Escape from Duckov hides a solid, well-designed game. A pleasant surprise that is funny, tense, and addictive, you'll always come back for “one last run”... before spending a few hours playing.

Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 finally revives the cult saga: a fascinating but measured comeback, where the light of renewal mingles with the shadow of an overly long wait. The pleasure is real, the disappointment inevitable.

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 in old pots that the best soups are made. At least, that’s what my grandmother used to say whenever she wanted to make us eat her old soup. Here’s a formula that works, pushed to its absolute limits, and sprinkled with the excellent universe of The Outer Worlds. The result is an adventure that will be ideal for the biggest fans of the genre, despite its imperfections, inconsistencies, and sometimes rough system balancing.

A poetic and captivating adventure, which nevertheless suffers from a lack of extra depth in its gameplay or strangeness to leave a lasting impression.

While some fans of the franchise may enjoy this new offering, newcomers and others will be frustrated by a game that didn't receive enough attention during development or that remained too stuck in the past to be truly successful.

An enjoyable and relaxing experience, which could have made much better use of its mandatory cooperative mechanics.

Both classic in its typical FMV features and original with its time loop component, Dead Reset is a pleasant surprise and a good FMV.

Lost Soul Aside started with good intentions, but once you take a closer look at everything surrounding its combat mechanics, it's clear that a lot of work is still needed.

When you start playing Jotunnslayer Hordes of Hel, you accept the risk that a quick 15-minute run could turn into an hour of gameplay, or even more. Both classic and original at the same time, its formula hooks us in for a successful journey.

Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion is a revolutionary departure from its 2020 opus, achieving most of its objectives but without shedding any of its past shortcomings.

Cronos The New Dawn delivers gripping tension and atmosphere, but its slow pace and technical and narrative issues hinder immersion.

An elegant and polished move to 3D for Kirby. It's generous game but far too systemic and easy though.

Midnight Murder Club has a solid basis, but the content is not enough at this time.

A surprising mix of rogue and real-time strategy, that works great. A shame that the Switch version of Grit and Valor 1949 isn't more convincing from a technical standpoint.

Heretic + Hexen gives you the chance to (re)discover some legendary FPS games in better conditions, with a little extra to boot, and all at an optimal price: less than 15 euros.

Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar allows players to rediscover one of the most original, but also divisive, episodes of the franchise in XXL conditions. What more could you ask for (apart from a new game)?

Dead Take surprises with its successful format, solid storytelling and cast, even if the writing is sometimes a little clumsy.

A classic roguelite that ticks quite a few boxes, but whose technique is seriously lacking.

Killing Floor III has a satisfying enough base to give it a chance, but the game currently lacks the content to fully compete with its predecessors or the competition.

Edge of Fate is a timid start to a new chapter that takes us back to the early days of the game: a few flashes of brilliance for a lot of things that have yet to be worked on.

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.

Good ideas hindered by poor execution keep Blades of Fire from being the sharpest tool in the shed.

Star★Vaders captivates with its artistic direction and respectful homage to Space Invaders. Its high difficulty and demanding tactical choices make it a niche but successful game. A title to keep an eye on, especially if future updates add new features and correct its few shortcomings.

A leap of two console generations without betraying the original, with a few minor additions and quality of life. The Bravely Default saga has never been better, so you'll just have to swallow this unlikely second half.

Like a young talent, Rematch has tons of potential, and some things it really needs to correct, yet, the title is largely within its reach.

Tour de France 2025 isn't a bad cycling game, but it struggles to break free from historical issues, even though its visual overhaul does it a world of good.

Death Stranding 2 isn't a bad game. It's a beautiful game. But it disappoints precisely where the first one was astonishing: by levelling out the difficulty, rendering the journey anodyne, watering down what made the original game a tough, unforgettable experience. Here, Kojima seems to have given in to the temptation of comfort and past criticism, delivering a game that is more accessible but less meaningful. Far from extending his vision, On the Beach seems to mark his running out of steam.

We suspect The Alters of having been too ambitious for what it can deliver, and yet the efforts that have been made are plain to see. The result is cool, but only part of the ambition has been mastered.

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon offers a dark fantasy revisiting of the lore of King Arthur for an absorbing journey, exuding the passion of the Questline studio for RPGs.

Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma takes the home-made Marvelous formula to a new level. We know the recipe, but the form brings enough new or modified mechanic to deliver us fun.

Empyreal misses its target due to a lack of tuning and a its bad ergonomy. There are better choices in the Souls-like world.

An unique artistic direction and haunting music, but this Remaster of Onimusha 2 suffers from rigid gameplay, dated technology and a lack of modernisation of the experience for newcomers.

A Classic pirate trip mixing navigation and exploration. Not so bad but with a frustrating lack of surprise.

Deliver At All Cost is designed to entertain, but its repetitiveness and frustrating technique make it a bore.

With its visual poetry and contemplative tone, Spirit of the North 2 invites you on a spiritual journey full of symbols. But this daydream is regularly interrupted by technical glitches and questionable game design choices.

Pleasant to play, Forever Skies is frustratingly short on story, which doesn't quite fit in with the basic upgrade mechanics. The repetitive nature of the locations to explore doesn't help either.

The Precinct is a tribute to the police films of the 80s / 90s, with a formula that combines sandbox gameplay and solid storytelling. A real pleasant and fun game the controller, as we like to discover.

A successful first foray into video games for Maliki! And a good reminder to the world that French creators have talent, both in comics and RPGs.

Chains of Freedom combines Classic mechanic for turn-based tactical with a solid story to delivers a pleasant game.

An honest but half-hearted return for a cult series. Fatal Fury City of the Wolves will delight fans, but will struggle to make an impact in a genre that is unforgiving of lukewarmness.

Even If Monster Energy Supercross 25 shows some good intentions, it doesn't reach the standard of a Milestone productions yet.

While this remaster of Saga Frontier 2 boasts sumptuous HD graphics and a rich story with a few new features, it is still a game aimed at an audience with sufficient English skills to get through its content, whereas the original version benefited from a French translation.

Bleach Rebirth of Souls may have a few minor flaws that take it a long way from perfection, but its formula is no less solid once you get to grips with its mechanics and discover a robust gameplay coupled with a premium cast.

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.

A pleasant, controlled single-player FPS experience, but without the means to push its ideas to the limit.

Khazan sorts out what he wants to keep from the Souls formula, rounding off the edges. It's a shame, though, that some elements that have little to do with the genre have managed to creep in.

Wanderstop is certainly... something. If Alta's character is rebuilt there, it's not certain that the player will emerge unscathed.
