A cooperative game that is simple and powerful, fun and generous, all at a low price: a combo that has everything to meet success.

Hades II builds upon the already near perfect first Hades in all the possible ways, making its big brother feel like a draft. Supergiant caught lightning in a bottle and carved it into a perfect bolt worthy of the King of Olympus.

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian brings enough new features to its historical formula to keep us hooked for hours on end. A good episode, original and addictive.

You can’t really knock a game for being iterative when it both builds on and refines the brilliance of the original. Ghost of Yōtei makes returning to Sucker Punch’s Japan a thrill, delivering a memorable ride. Atsu’s journey may start from a familiar revenge tale, but it constantly finds ways to surprise. Brutal, visceral, and impossible to ignore, it’s one of the PlayStation 5’s standout experiences. A must-play for fans, though some may feel a little déjà vu creeping in.

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.

Dying Light The Beast capitalizes on the improvements made over the last two episodes and its numerous DLCs to offer the ultimate version of its game. It's not perfect yet, but The Beast is the most complete and entertaining episode of the franchise to date.

Being way more immersive and comfortable, Final Fantasy Tactic The Ivalice Chronicles is a no brainer for every fan of the genre and even of Final Fantasy in general.

Silent Hill f is an intense and immersive entry, where precise combat, polished art direction, and a gripping story meet an oppressive atmosphere. Only the puzzles, vague and frustrating at times, disrupt the flow, but the New Game Plus and multiple endings extend the adventure brilliantly.

(Re)discovering a production as massive as Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter with a remake of this quality? Bingo!

A dense and rich return to the franchise that only the most daring will be able to master.

The magic works over time, thanks to the regular additions and new features and the rich, comprehensive gameplay: while Towa is fairly classic in its construction, it is in its form that it stands out from its competitors. And what about the unexpected cooperation aspect?

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.

Team Cherry confirms their mastery over the metroidvania genre, their raw artistic talent and their somewhat sadistic tendencies too in this sequel that's as enchanting and generous as it is demanding.

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.

NBA 2K26 remains the ultimate basketball simulation, with demanding gameplay, rich solo modes, and stunning presentation, but the grind and slow VC earnings slightly tarnish the experience.

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.

You might think that Hell Is Us is just another Soulslike among many, but its blend of classic elements and unique touches gives it tremendous potential. Rogue Factor offers an original and refreshing journey, sometimes shaking up established codes to bring its own vision of a challenging ARPG, and they do it well.

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.

The effect no longer hits the mark as much as at the time of Journey, nevertheless its spiritual sequel captivates us and transports us on a journey sometimes déjà vu, but always sumptuous.

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.

This new version rejuvenates the old Ultimate Cut, which was already intended as a soft remake of the first episode. Without being a revolution, it brings new access to a whole new audience, whether on the studio's original console, or the PlayStation audience.

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)?

Joe Musashi makes a thunderous return to our screens thanks to perfectly calibrated gameplay and a devilishly effective art direction.

A faithful remake, sometimes too rigid, yet a striking reminder of why Snake Eater remains a monument in video game history.

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

Mafia returns more beautiful, more cinematic, and more linear than ever, but still suffers from bugs and a structure that loses some of its flavor as the game progresses.

Hunter X Hunter: Nen Impact is not the long-awaited tribute to this legendary licence. No sooner done than forgotten.

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.

Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles 2 builds on the foundations of the first instalment and takes each slider up a notch. Even if there's room for improvement in one area or another, we've finally got a big Demon Slayer fighting game in our hands.

A fierce and stylish comeback for Ninja Gaiden, powered by tight, demanding gameplay and a gorgeous pixel art. A true masterclass in pain and precision.

Achilles Survivor delivers a new vision of Bullet Hell with its original building feature. A solid game at a low price, that's what we like.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is a very good remake, which succeeds where it's important : gameplay, respect for the original and immediate pleasure of the ride. It may not be a revolution like 2001, but it's a beautiful love letter to an era when skateboarding was more than a sport, it was a culture. At this price, it's almost a free trick.

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.

A short but intense adventure. Eriksholm shows how a small studio can do what the big ones do. Beautiful and touching, it's an excellent surprise.

Vision, authentic gameplay, a lot of heart and a lot of fun - it's an unqualified success: the Switch 2 has an excellent argument in its favour.

More than just "another Soulslike", Wuchang Fallen Feathers delivers a solid trip in Antic China with several with its own mark on this genre. Just remains few tweaks and here we go.

Metal Head takes the mechanics of time, skill and priority management very seriously, and delivers a rich, immersive and gripping narrative experience, with a gallery of engaging characters.

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.

A very good port for a poignant game with tactical gameplay of rare tension in an equally impressive universe.

It's hardly a video game, but it's a kind, witty video game whose remarkable ability to raise mountains - of fans - makes it better than the sum of its parts. There's no need to wait.

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.

Date Everything has an ambitious vision of the genre and succeeds in making it a reality, but beware: it requires a player with just as much ambition to appreciate it to the full.

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.

Roots of Yggdrasil offers a recipe that breaks with the usual moulds, producing a surprising but totally seductive mix.

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.

F1 25 continues its annual evolution with a successful episode in many respects. The question is how Codemasters is going to take its license to the next level.

A revival in style for the Commandos series. The game is meticulous, with open-ended missions where your creativity will be put to the test to achieve your goal. A must-have for fans of the series and new players alike.

Elden Ring: Nightreign is a bold co-op spin-off that turns contemplative exploration into a tactical race against time. A brilliant concept held back by the lack of crossplay and voice chat, both crucial for full team potential.

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.

Doom: the Dark ages shakes up the franchise with bold visuals and a brutal arsenal, even if it falls short of the relentless pace set by its predecessors

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.

A very good interactive board game, accessible and enchanting, which just needs a little more autonomy to really last over time.

With MotoGP25, Milestone delivers THE moto simulation game so far.

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

A sumptuous, spellbinding work of art that never forgets its status as a game, offering rich and exhilarating gameplay.

An excellent comeback for this iconic game. Amerzone will delight nostalgic fans and seduce new players with a remake that pays tribute to Benoit Sokal, with magnificent graphics and a story that fully immerses us in the adventure.

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.

Particularly well-informed and rigorous in its delirium, Promise Mascot Agency shines in its art direction and excellent translation.

With its new licence, Don't Nod is following in the footsteps of Life is Strange, while skilfully managing to distinguish itself from it.

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

A skillful blend of gameplay and compelling storytelling make for an adventure/puzzle game that's not to be missed.

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 fascinating title, but one that needs a final polish to achieve excellence.

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.

Atelier Yumia may not be fully perfect but remains an excellent RPG that tries and succeed to give its formula a new direction.

Everything isn't perfect and this probably is not Ubisoft's breakout game, but the good far outweighs the bad. There's no doubt that this Assassin's Creed will strongly resonate with a lot of players despite its shortcomings and flaws, and the others should still acknowledge its undeniable qualities.

A co-operative marvel, Split Fiction is a creative explosion that takes us on a journey through incredible imaginary worlds and constantly renews its gameplay mechanics. A must-have to share with your best gaming partner.

A staging that’s too absent and a career mode that feels austere, but precise gameplay and a wealth of content that could keep players engaged in the long run.

We could criticise Two Point Museum for not trying to innovate, but that's precisely the principle behind the studio's proposition: a game that's accessible to all, fun, quirky and terribly addictive.

A more organic, more fluid episode, with extraordinary staging, but whose accessibility outweighs its challenge, to the detriment of the license's veterans.

Obsidian delivers a new RPG that will be remembered for a long time. A unique adventure in the already rich world of Eora, a game that excels in respecting the player's choices, with tangible stakes, flawless writing, and a memorable group of characters. Avowed gives players everything Dragon Age promised: a true role-playing game.

Kingdom Come Deliverance II is a rare gem that requires total commitment. Its ultra-realistic approach will appeal to fans of immersive role-playing games but may exhaust players looking for a more accessible experience.

Firaxis gathered its courage to rethink a license which, more than ever, was in need not of novelty but of a new, solid foundation. There's still a lot to build on, but if we find that 'just one more turn' feeling back, Civilization VII also manages to seduce us for 'just one more game', which is probably the scariest thing I've ever written.

Eternal Strands is an ambitious and satisfying first game for Yellow Brick Games. Its sandbox is teeming with interactions and calls for experimentation, its world is a pleasure to explore, and you get attached to its universe and characters despite their somewhat uneven writing.
