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.

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.

Bethesda's ambition for Starfield is certainly obvious, but the means to achieve it are not all evenly distributed among its many aspects. There may be disappointment depending on what you expected, so read all the reviews carefully. But you can't blame Starfield for being Starfield, an already incredibly strong and rich new franchise. The flaws don't take anything away from the fun the game provides, and if you want a SF adventure...nope, multiple epic sci-fi adventures, take off for the stars right away.

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

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.

More than a simple homage to the 8 & 16 bits era, Tunic knows how to keep things fresh for a while, with its charming and mysterious universe, and its inventive puzzles.

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.

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.

Blasphemous 2 is a more than competent Metroidvania, diminished only by a sometimes unfair difficulty and a second half that is a bit too controlling.

Old-timey fun, Demon Tides fills a long-awaited spot: an adventure/platforming game who understand its genre and zeitgeist. An hidden gem.

A very solid proposal that strives at all costs to diversify its mechanics in order to match other standards in the genre.

A (lot) more content on the multiplayer side would have been welcome, but as it is, Olli Olli World is enjoyable and will please anyone enjoying Scoring, and Scoring higher, and higher. Also, fancy art to boot.

The Legend of Heroes Trails Beyond the Horizon is a major milestone in the franchise and the history of Zemuria, but also the culmination of many years of gameplay refinement. A superb conclusion for Calvard.

Challenging yet addictive, generous yet confusing, Blazblue Entropy Effect X is an original offering that manages to surprise us and draw us into a sea of possibilities for hours on end. In my opinion, it's the indie surprise of the moment.

Although it may lack personality, Forza Motorsport is one of the most technically impressive games in existence. The handling and generosity of this iteration make it the best car game around.

You can't oppose Guilty Gear Strive front a technical or artistic standpoint, but the most conservative part of the community might not enjoy its gameplay, more accessible but also less open. Still, Strive is a great entry door to the Guilty Gear saga.

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.

Classic and heavily focused on collecting stuff, this Harry Potter game by Avalanche game still offers solid arguments to immerse fans in a gripping and magnificent story of the Wizarding World.

It’s a great time to be a Resident Evil fan. This Village rounds up everything you expect from the brand, and does it very well too, with a great variety of gameplay, twists and an incredible setting. Survival Horror has never been this satisfying.

All in all, a solid expansion that renews the experience with a new class and a new zone that are total successes. Discovering Nahuntu with the sacresprit is a delight.

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.

LEGO Batman: The Dark Knight Legacy is a safe bet—perhaps even too safe. It checks all the expected boxes without ever taking any risks. Worse still, it tries to have it both ways without ever fully satisfying players on either front. Fans will undoubtedly find something to enjoy, thanks in particular to the richness of the universe and the numerous references. But those hoping for a more significant evolution of the formula may be left wanting. This new installment of LEGO Batman thus fulfills its purpose with diligence. Accessible, generous, and faithful to the spirit of the franchise, it offers a pleasant and familiar adventure—for better or for worse... Another brick in a solid edifice, but one that could certainly use a bit of a refresh.

The Creative Assembly ends Total War Warhammer 2 beautifully with this last DLC. It really shows their commitment and we can expect the same for TW Warhammer 3. And who knows, maybe we can hope for extra DLC yet to come?

Short but intense, Super Mario RPG Remake is a new entry point for players wishing to discover the world of the famous plumber in a way other than a platform game. This new version features a number of welcome improvements to modernize what was already a revolution in the JRPG world.

Following closely the events from Persona 5, Persona 5 Strikers keeps it charming and stylish while adding a lot of action to a formula that was already perfect. We do lose the social side of Persona 5 though, but combats are intense, technical and quite satisfying.

Beautiful and immersive, College Football 25 makes a triumphant return, offering a deep dive into American college culture.

Although relatively similar to its predecessor, Octopath Travelers 2 is still an excellent game that goes even further. Even if you haven't done the first one, you can be sure to be immersed in these new story.

More of the same. But you know, it's a pretty good « same » at heart. Splatoon 3 is packed with little innovations that are enough to justify a new buy. A lot of things are easily forgiven for this truly creative game.

If you played NieR, you'll find the game elevated to a new height. If you never played NieR, it's time for you to experience this title every gamer should try.

You understood it, Two Point Campus doesn't change anything of the formula previously seen in Hospital. No, it only improves it. The game is much more accomplished, in every way. The absurd humor is always present while the title is a lot of fun; so much so that we lower our vigilance to finally realize that you are mired in nameless complications. Two Point Campus is a very good management game for novices who will not feel lost and will be able to enjoy the serious difficulty of Campus as they go through the quests. Those who are more familiar with the genre will enjoy the quirky (and nostalgic for the older ones) universe much more, while the title won't be a particular problem for them.

Stray will easily be remembered thanks to its weirdly captivating world filled to the brim with details and the charming quirkness of its inhabitants, although it does suffer from a relatively short playtime despite clever puzzles.

Obsidian has done a great job at all levels - universe, exploration, combat, construction, survival - for this beautiful and original survival game, just a little more balancing and it will be perfect.

Wrath of the Righteous offers an epic campaign that'll make you feel important right from the beginning and that will keep throwing outrageous enemies and events at you. This second Pathfinder doesn't evolve much though, and still misses some mechanism that would set it apart. The tactical Heroes stuff doesn't do the job.

A brave and interesting take on the Pokémon universe, but terribly flawed technically. If you can overcome this production's shortcomings, you'll be able to answer the usual call for adventure, still here for players old and new.

Lost Judgment is a great follow up for the first title from Ryu ga Gotoku Studio, who takes everything that made the first game good and makes it better. Yagami and his friends will leave a lasting impression with this emotional story that shows the developer's strong writing and entertaining skills.

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.

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 pleasant journey lies in this 2022 iteration of the Atelier saga, with old-school gameplay and new ideas. A bit weird not to find any PS5 version or french subtitles as in the last entry, but still, this is a great game for veterans and newcomers alike.

An epic, magnificent and exhilarating title that will only show its full potential when played with friends online.

The new coop gameplay in Little Nightmares 2 is really welcomed but still feels inaccurate and frustrating at times. Yet, the general atmosphere is masterful and Mono and Six’s journey on a gloomy and terrifying world feels brilliantly scary.

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.

Cyber Shadow probably won’t shine as much as Shovel Knight, lacking as it is of a little bit of genius and suffering from some control shortfalls, but it’s still an excellent retro platerformer that’ll teach you the pleasure of pain.

Total pleasure for a solid and clean arrival of Sackboy on PC.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruins has an old-school JRPG vibe and part of its gameplay will probably discourage many players.

A strong but limited port on Switch for Ni No Kuni 2. This Prince Edition remains enjoyable and lovely, the license's universe feeling at home on Nintendo's console.
