An incredibly mastered Beat Them All game with tints of Metroidvania and Rogue-like elements making the players want to run cycles after cycles.

We waited long for Lost Ark to visit us in the West, but it was worth it. The gameplay of this CRPG-Action hybrid works well, with a lot of freedom and customisation from the gameplay. A complex but accessible F2P that will let you dive in its universe with style.

Black Myth Wukong delights with its top-notch production and comprehensive gameplay. It's a pleasure to accompany the Predestined One on his quest for power, enjoying every moment in this incredible world.

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

The story depicted in Kena is forgettable. But the journey to get there is absolutely not. Ember Labs gift us an artistic vision and an OST that are both splendid! The structure of the game is quiet classic and sometimes feels like routine but the fighting mechanics are incredible and the pleasure is undeniably there.

As a game, Unpacking is limited to the simplest puzzle genre, without much difficulty. However, it is a storytelling wonder, accessible and very benevolent.

With an even better production than before, and an excellent new duo of announcers, MLB the Show 22 is more realist than ever before - there's no weariness here. Still wishing for a french version though.

Bayonetta Origins : Cereza and the Lost Demon is a magnificent initiation tale which brings us back to childhood, and so does its heroine. It's a Switch real gem : its artistic direction amazes us and its well mastered gameplay seduces us.

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.

A brilliant and inspired JRPG for a sharp reminder to some sleepy rivals that legacy alone isn’t enough.

Fate/Samurai Remnant is a great RPG, but could target a better status with some more tweaks, including doing something about its lack of localization.

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.

Hands/eye coordination, concentration, self-control, a great memory... If you lack any of this, don't play Card Shark. It is a great - and beautiful - game, but a stressful one.

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.

Sonic x Shadow Generations brilliantly modernizes a classic while introducing Shadow in a clever, if somewhat short-lived, way.

Disgaea 7 Complete is nothing less than the ultimate Disgaea with an XXL formula.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy as a video game is a bit simple and repetitive, but still, it offers a funny, often moving, epic musical adventure with a smart Telltale-like narration.

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

Simpler and more arcade-like, and therefore more accessible, NBA 2K23 is also a nostalgic love letter to NBA history. My Career mode remains so good that if it weren't plagued by micro transactions or trips to "The City", it would simply be perfect.

Team Ninja delivers a new hardcore ARPG with some unusual but solid new features that change what we are getting used to. Wo Long Fallen Dynasty is a real breath of fresh air in a genre that count many new titles now.

Hypercharge Unboxed is a simple, effective tower-defense shooter. It's pure fun at a low price, and takes off when played in multi.

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

It's hard not to fall for the charms of Honkai: Star Rail. The storyline, even if it draws on Japanese anime clichés, is extremely rich, populated by sparkling characters and written with a great deal of humor. The gameplay is addictive and extremely clever, and the monetization knows how to take a back seat to the gameplay experience. A real success story.

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.

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

Wildfrost is attractive, but on the roguelite side, the difficulty is very high, with a lack of consistency in the cards where effective compositions are far too rare.

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

Remnant 2 has all the cards to deliver a good hardcore shooter and its freedom is surely one of its strengths. The only thing missing is the final touch of optimization.

BDO Land of the Morning Light succeeds most of what it delivers us for a magical journey which gives Pearl Abyss’mmo a new dimension. The Korean inspirates and the story we live give us what we expect : pleasure and fun.

Worldless is an excellent surprise, whose mastery of the simple is matched only by the finesse of its combat and puzzles. In a year awash with blockbusters, Worldless and its ten hours or so of carefully constructed experience are a breath of fresh air and an extremely promising first project for NoName Studio.

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.

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.

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.

Even though it's not far from a skin for Battle Chasers, Ruined King certainly is a good RPG, with a great story and brilliant ost. Definitively a nice way to learn more about Runeterra and the extended universe of Riot's success, League of Legends.

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.

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.

Kunitsu-Gami is an fun concept with good and smartly executed ideas. Although it plays a bit on the safe side, we hope Capcom keeps supporting those.

An beautiful game, which does not forget to make the player feel a wide range of emotions. Clearly, we were hoping for a certain level of quality, but did not expect Planet of Lana rub shoulders with the masters of the genre.

Short but memorable, Reanimal stands out as an atmospheric horror experience that is as disturbing as it is masterful. Tarsier Studios delivers a dark journey with a strong identity, whose simple gameplay serves an adventure that is as unsettling as it is memorable.

If you enjoy the visuals, the originality of Lost in Random will probably ensnare you, with its weird but efficient alchemy of cards, narration and dice.

A pleasant adventure with a refreshing diversity, ideal for a summer's day in. Enjoy it sparingly because, well, you've got to think about getting out for a walk too.

60 euros is a steep price for this much content. Beyond that, this stingy game actually is Mario Party at its best, for anyone wanting to reconnect, or discover, the real chaos it's meant to be.

An Action J-RPG on PlayStation and PC with the look and feel of a premium mobile game that will convince those willing to give it their time.

A great launch for a new IP from Bandai Namco. Scarlet Nexus looks good, provides a great story, and the gameplay is even better. Definitively a success.

We can now consider EA Sports WRC as one the best sports game of the year and the new rally reference production.

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.

Ys X Nordics is a pure and basic YS, with enough improvement to take us on a "one more" wonderful trip with Adol Christin.

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.

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.

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

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

A fascinating Tactical RPG that could have managed its resources to better some key aspects of its universe and its gameplay. We hope for a sequel, or a big DLC.

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.

Only for those who haven't yet launched the second episode, or for the most die-hard fans of the license, Monster Hunter Stories boasts a polished remaster, but one that has been marked by the passage of time.

Ninja Gaiden 4 acts like a kind of gameplay, setting and structural time capsule brought up to today's standards by Platinum's craft. The sharpness of another time honed by a brand new grindstone.

Trepang2 misses the target on several aspects like its story or construction. Its basic but efficient gameplay succeeds more or less to "save" the game.

Terra Nil is a superb management experience while keeping its focus on its ecological message.

Puzzle Bobble EveryBubble! serves its purpose as a banging return to Puzzle Bobble, with its great amount of levels and its well paced challenge.

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.

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.

A perfect « feel good » game for every pokémon lover out there. New Pokémon Snap has its usual flaws, but this new title brings pokémon to life like no other game.

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

Afterimage's world will assault your senses with beautiful graphics and great music, at the cost of a certain classicism when playing.

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.

Ultros is a whole. Each part of this whole, from visuals to music, and obviously gameplay echoes the others and offers a very unique proposition in a more and more crowded genre. Although it might get too experimental for some, Ultros will to leave a lasting impressions on most players.

RIDE has always aimed to be and remain the benchmark for motorcycle simulation, and this year once again, it has achieved its goal, surpassing itself in order to retain its crown. RIDE 6 is more than just an evolution of its formula, and that's a good thing.

The Quarry is no more than the best Supermassive creation ever. A solid story driven by a polished gameplay, great replayability, and some solid technique. A must have in this first half of 2022.

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.

Call of The Mountain is far from being a big challenge in VR, but a great journey into the Horizon universe. Even if the lifespan is a little low, the sensations are excellent, and we will be ready to stack up for the next call.

Pacific Drive is a single-player survival game with a gripping atmosphere, ideal for fans of titles like Subnautica. We wouldn't have minded a little more storytelling at the end, so if any DLC comes along, we'll take it!

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

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.

F1 Manager 2022 has almost everything needed for a successful first installment. Satisfying gameplay, good immersion and licensed content that knows how to delight the fans of the discipline. The title lays a good foundation, and we are eager to see the developers expand the content for future sequels.

More than ever the trip is more important than the destination in Road 96, a game that works thanks to its stylish artistic direction, good writing, and some gameplay that stirs and spice up the narration.

After having explored the court and complained about VCs, we realize that NBA 2K25 remains the undisputed master of sports simulation.

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.

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.

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

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.

With Blacktail, The Parasight deliver us a real killing production we wish we had more.

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.

Tiny Tina's Wonderland is fun but far to repetitive to be enjoyed on the long run.

Curse of the Dead Gods is a great action roguelite title that let you balance risk with precise control and complex gameplay mechanisms. PassTech Games will need to flesh it out a bit in the coming months though.

A sequel doubling down on its biggest strength: Exploration and forgetting its weaknesses, offering us a brilliant Metroidvania pushing the exploration at its best.

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.

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.

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

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is the best game in the franchise since Kotor, offering an immersive gaming experience with captivating exploration, exciting combat and extensive customization.

While remaining (too?) accessible, Jurassic World Evolution 3 refines its formula to give its fans a little more room to express their imagination.

Like a Dragon Gaiden is a perfect appetizer before the main course. Just a few weeks away from the release of Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, Gaiden serves as a reminder of events from previous episodes, reconnects with our favorite protagonist, and offers what the franchise does best: epic situations, complex and endearing characters, and a fantastic way to unwind.

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

The mixed genre of Grow makes for a fun and addictive gameplay that deserve your attention if you are into this kind of game, and are attracted by its magical setting. Not very original, but efficient.

We need more of "Trine". Its 5th episode is for sure the more attractive, fun and enjoyable one from the license.

This is a great comeback for WEE2K, after more than a few missteps. Now we want more, just like 2K is doing for the NBA (but while keeping it light on the microtransaction side).
