Even if a remake would certainly have been more profitable, Freedom Wars Remastered allows us to (re)discover an original game that certainly contributed to the development of hunting games in its day.

It's hard to give this title a lower score, as its proposition is as effective and demanding as it ever was. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD remains more for absolute fans or those who have never laid their hands on its Wii or 3DS versions, though.

A title combining oldschool RPG and demanding action RPG for an original, if sometimes very (too) difficult journey.

Dynasty Warriors Origins keeps giving the more you ask. Koei and Omega Force flex their mastery of large scales battles, their vision of frantic combat and of the Three Kingdom story before going the extra mile with a perfectly implemented post-game.

Ys Memoire The Oath in Felghana is the best Way to live one of the best Adol's Adventure with a production that combines retro vibes and modern components.

Classic but fun as hell : a perfect way to describe Marvel Rivals.

Alien Rogue Incursion is a nice VR game but we surely expected a different approach to match the Alien's universe.

Despite a catastrophic launch, Fatshark never gave up. They fixed what was not working and tuned what was. New progression systems are deep and engaging, loot and the means to obtain it is better and gameplay remains thrilling. A story of perseverance that some could take notes from.

An exhilarating ride that lets your imagination run wild, if you're comfortable enough with the tools.

Good content to fill out the game, but without the lore wrapping we're used to.

Fairy Tail 2 is more than just a sequel. Gust delivers a real breath with a revisited formula much more dynamic and fun, but sad to found back the same defaults than the 2020 game.

A welcome port of a title that's as good as ever, but suffers from too many loading times on Switch and once again lacks a French translation.

More than just a survivalreskined to fit Japan, Sengolu Dynasty grants us the choice to become the leader of a new kingdom.

You'll have to be very patient or lucky to get the most out of Stalker 2. And it's well worth it, more for the atmosphere than anything else.

Songs of Silence misses the mark in a number of respects, weighing down the overall experience somewhat. The campaign is more frustrating than anything else, but the skirmish saves the day.

Saved by its battles, the brotherly epic somewhat usurps its quality - coming closer to a poorly conceived sequel than a chanson de gestes. Overly directed and choppy, it does no credit to a canon that has often been so much better.

Maestro is a real guilty pleasure in the field of rhythm games. The simple fact of taking on the role of a conductor is exhilarating in itself, and we can't deny the satisfaction felt when we turn around to face an audience applauding you. The title remains demanding and your orchestra can quickly become ridiculous if you don't follow the rhythm imposed by the game. Nevertheless, with less than twenty melodies at launch (even if these can be browsed under three different difficulties) we will quickly have to go through the catalog of compositions of the title. Sold for less than €30, Maestro remains an experience that we recommend if you appreciate classical music and jazz since that's all you will have.

A small action game with very good handling and an art direction on a par with the original, we were nonetheless expecting a little more entertainment from this new LEGO title in the Horizon universe.

We're 110% behind Tower Five's proposition with Empire of the Ants, which offers an original, exotic voyage off the beaten track, delivering a charismatic production. It's a big yes.

The long-awaited return of what was a revolutionary RPG in its day, but a more classic one today.

Deck Nine has big ambitions for Life is Strange and for Max Caufield. This new installment of the series establishes her as a strong, complex character, capable of carrying the franchise to the heights it deserves.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard excels on a number of counts; let's see if they're the ones you've been waiting for.

A robust episode.. A pity not to capitalize on the annual worries to release an XXL 2024 opus. Still, BO VI is a success.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII Remake is a powerful update of a classic production, not more, not less. Sadly, mastering English is necessary to understand all its complex features.

Perhaps a little too focused on fans of the series, the Shin chan experience can nevertheless be enjoyed by all.

Throne & Liberty has enormous potential, with a seductive world and universe, and above all a highly successful atypical gameplay. It's not for everyone, however, as it requires a substantial investment to fully enjoy what it has to offer. The cash-shop aspect also allows a little too much.

New World Aeternum offers a similar experience to the usual 'definitive versions': the best, most complete version available, at a reasonable price.

Late, but high standard nonetheless: the hidden episode of the venerable courtroom saga finally arrives, perfectly translated and with all the usual extras. It's not Russian literature, but hey, it's good Ace Attorney!

The universe of Metaphor serves as the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable story, a game with finely-tuned mechanics, and an experience that establishes it as a new benchmark for the genre.

A near-perfect comeback whose flaws will be more or less erased depending on how much of a fan you are. Above all, Sparking will require a real learning curve before you can fully enjoy it.

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.

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.

Bloober Team's remake of Silent Hill 2 manages to modernize the masterpiece while staying true to its psychological and oppressive legacy. A timeless work of art, carefully revisited.

Funko Fusion misses the opportunity to be a good action/adventure game, with such a range of licences under its belt. Unfortunately, the transition to reality is a painful one.

EA FC 25 shines for its tactical realism and Career Coach mode, but stumbles over an ageing interface and on-field gameplay that struggles to convince unless you switch to simulator mode.

A real clean sweep in a remaster that will only appeal to absolute fans or those who haven't played the original title.

Reynatis will seduce you if you're open to forgive a few mistakes (and have a good English skill).

World Of Warcraft: The War Within is the first brick in Blizzard's MMORPG revival. You can sense the Californian studio's intentions and feel the first effects in-game, but the storytelling is clearly not up to scratch. The game is gradually moving away from pure multiplayer, and is increasingly devoting itself to single-player content, which will appeal to those who prefer to play on their own or in a casual setting, without putting pressure on hardcore gamers.

The new political dimension of Frostpunk 2 redefines gameplay, and the player's own ethics become an integral part of the game. A fascinating experience, and a real challenge for achievers.

Thanks to its on-field gameplay, Madden NFL 25 is a solid American football game, but one that tends to rest on its laurels rather than make the great renewal it deserves, and is sorely lacking in ambition and innovation, even suffering in comparison with its clone, College Football 25.

Test Drive Solar Crown is hard to recommend, even to die-hard fans of the franchise, as it's so difficult to play the game without encountering bugs and crashes. And in reality, the Test Drive license seems to have been completely surpassed by its successors. Let's hope the developers can fix the game's many flaws and give it a second chance, because the potential is there, somewhere, buried under a mountain of bugs and unfinished features.

Caravan SandWitch is a game that's simply fun to play, thanks to an alchemy that binds the various elements together very well, from the storyline and world to the AD and fluid controls. The fact that Sauge is such a dynamic and likeable main character is a real boost when it comes to saving the world. But after the aperitif, of course.

The compilation that fans of the MvC licence have been hoping for is finally back, with all the great features introduced by Capcom's previous compilation. No more, no less.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicle had everything going for it, with a rich licence, powerful lore and a interesting cast. In itself, it's far from being a bad game, but there were surely better things to do on a number of points, and in the end it leaves you with a mixed feeling, with a sense of going round in circles after the first few hours and less than optimal progression.

There aren't many surprises in this Star Wars title, but the immersion is total, with a story that's mastered in both the open world and the linear mode. It's safe to say that it's the massive entertainment hit this summer.

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

We'd have liked to see a little less repetitive gameplay and less simplistic puzzles, but overall the experience is a success. The work of a single developer, Farewell North is a melancholy epic that has left its mark on us.

Dredge isn't a game that gains much by adding too much content, but the Complete Edition, and in particular The Iron Rig, does all it can to smooth out the overall experience. All in all, a good Complete Edition, but you have to take the bait.

Nintendo World Championships NES Edition is a wonderful introduction to speedrunning, rewarding, fun and non-frustrating. It’s also a great way to discover or rediscover some NES classics.

Simple yet effective, Spy X Anya Operation Memories offers a compelling new adventure for the Forger family.

A new gacha game full of charm and high class characters with a fun and dynamic gameplay. But it's the mix of inspirations that makes up the universe that really catches the eye.

Discovering a new licence is always a real pressure and Flintlock delivers us a classic - and somewhat short - solid trip which deserves any interest it will get.

More generous than ever, Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance is THE version to be played, the best way to experience this awesome trip.

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!

Still Wakes The Deep is one of those games that you don't expect, but which manage to grab you deeply.

Shadow of the ErdTree is an outstanding expansion that completes with brio a major game of this generation and the full experience makes it one of the best video games ever made.

An excellent conclusion to 10 years of world-building, which promises a bright future if the level can be maintained.

While Astor doesn't manage to stand out from the crowd or offer a flawless experience, it remains an honest and enjoyable title.

The pricing policy is a little of a problem, and the console version suffers from a few (admittedly minor) slowdowns, but this does little to alter our overall impression of Planet Zoo. This console version finally enables a larger number of us to enjoy this gem of a game.

"My first JRPG", with great sagacity and a charm that still stands out, but now weighed down by the years - and by mechanics that seemed easy to correct.

With huge single-player and multiplayer content, three factions and nearly a dozen maps at launch, this Men of War far surpasses anything the series has ever offered.

Tailor a survival experience to enjoy the charms of a story that sometimes drags on for too long (but then again, nobody's forcing you to build five different bases...).

The chronic imbalance of the software catches up with us all too quickly, and the characters and solid lore won't erase that. We hope that the developers will be able to bring updates to make the experience more digestible and enjoyable.

Visceral, disturbing, empathetic... These are the words you'll keep in mind after this grandiose and personal adventure.

More of Ghost of Tsushima is always welcome. A solid adventure that subtly explore the past of Jin Sakai, and a version that honors the PS5.

Planet Crafter's good ideas and a real sense of satisfaction when you succeed in the various objectives make it a particularly addictive title. However, it's impossible to forget all the aspects that can be improved.

Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes delivers an experience tinged with nostalgia, in true homage to Suikoden and its mythical formula. At times too rooted in the past, this production is nonetheless a solid one.

A unique take on the Metroidvania genre in terms of identity and art and a successful gameplay!

Classic, repetitive, but devilishly effective. Sand Land is a game with many flaws, but it manages to captivate thanks to its pleasant universe, sensational soundtrack and addictive, customizable gameplay.

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.
