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.

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.

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.

Not the 80 euros system seller Sony wants it to be, but Returnal is still a great roguelite shooter, original and inventive.

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.

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.

Dawntrail brings everything a Final Fantasy XIV fan expects from their favorite MMO. A new land mass, two new jobs, thrilling dungeons, and a graphical refresh—all set the stage for a new chapter of the adventure, which starts a bit slow but ends with a bang.

Without any point of interest, this new Ubi Open World makes you feel the breath of the wild from the Western Frontiers of Pandora. Even though the level gating of the game is a real pain and disappointment, we have loved our adventure and parkour on this magnificent Pandora.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A filmed chase, twists and turns, and high replayability with a rich, well-crafted story and clean acting: The Run claims the title of king of FMVs, and it has what it takes.

A strong gameplay, a good lifespan, nice art and some couch gaming... Samurai Warrios 5 has some strong arguments for itself. It sticks to the roots of Musô, for better or worse, with some additions that feels worth it.

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

It still feels good to play Nioh again, especially when it is done on its best version ever. The content available on The Nioh Collection is mind blowing. The ability to play the game either in 4K60 or 120hz or even to enjoy PS5 visual upgrades on a regular screen with the PS5 Standard Mode brings a lot of comfort to the players, even though the engine and the level design are somewhat outdated, with aliasing and texture popping everywhere.The lack of loading screens and the use of the Dualsense are also great additions.

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.

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.

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.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an adventure that naturally resonates with a nostalgic generation of 1980s adventure film fans, but also invites a whole new generation of archaeologists with its inventive gameplay that highlights the wonder of discovery.

Still the best rally game out there, with some impressive content and excellent dualsense compatibility on PS5. The career mode is simple but efficient and the 50th anniversary content is great for veteran players looking for some difficulty aimed at the long term fans of the license. Let's hope for some new gen engine for the next entry.

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.

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.

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

A synthesis of classic GT and GT Sport, but still with the usual license flaws. GT7 remains a beautiful love letter to the motorsport history and a very good "simarcade".

If F1 23 don't seem to be interested in renewal, the return of Breaking Point and the notable improvements in driving let the games easily get a high score.

"Metro in VR" with all the goodness that implies, and a great deal of respect and reverence for the original works. Just watch out for the spiders.

Windjammers 2 is both a homage to arcade games of old times and a great follow-up, modern and still as demanding as its predecessor.

If you can no longer wait for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom, know that Tchia offers a very good alternative due to its idyllic environments and the immense freedom it offers, while focusing on immersion.

Nioh 3 is the culmination of Team Ninja's three previous souls-like games, pushing each aspect a little further. While not entirely perfect, it is steadily approaching perfection. It is one of the must-have souls-like games for any fan of the genre.

Bannerlord confirms its status as the benchmark in medieval simulation. War Sails broadens its horizons without betraying its identity. The experience gains in scope and depth, driven by a renewed sense of coherence. An essential return for anyone looking for a game combining strategy, action, and total freedom.

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.

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.

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.

With its new improvements, WWE 2K24 suffers from new flaws, persistent old ones and a technique that's starting to wheeze, even though it should have been the highlight of this important year for wrestling ! It's still as good as usual, but it should have been much better.

This strategic Heroes-style spinoff does not hesitate to multiply new gameplay ideas. Most are even good and work well! A daring bet that pays off, despite some flaws.

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.

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

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.

Rather austere in its presentation, and repetitive in its gameplay, Foretales unpacks an intriguing story via its roguelite storytelling, which has you throwing game after game, but in moderation. You'll want to achieve one good ending at least.

Ubisoft won't change its Far Cry formula, but it doesn't polish it either. There's no effort made to improve IA and the whole tone of the game is borderline schizophrenic with fun and horror battling for attention. Despite this, Far Cry 6 remains fun and obsessive for explorers and completionists, with a ton of things to do and see (and kill).

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.

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.

For a series that releases an opus every two years, Sniper Elite: Resistance's new chapter offers a rather unobtrusive evolution of its formula, sticking to the basics of what Sniper Elite 5 was all about. Nevertheless, it's a thoroughly honest game that will delight fans of the series and newcomers alike.

High On Life is a Comedy FPS that hits its target with its writing but not so much with its shooting. Too bad there's no localised version because it's really funny.

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.

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.

If its gameplay can feel common and somewhat frustrating, Under The Waves shines through the serious themes addressed with great respect and maturity, that should leave a mark on you.

Sport mode is a mess and doesn't do justice to the incredible qualities of Dakar Desert Rally. The game is way better on Pro and Sim modes. Following to roadbook to find your path in this absolutely huge Saudi Arabia feels really great.

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

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.

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!

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.

Targeting every platform lover out there, Kaze and the Wild Masks’s demanding gameplay might put off some, especially during the second part of the game. But its attractive world, art, and its homage to the classics of the genre make for a fun and colorful adventure.

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.

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.

A good game with a few great new ideas, but this follow up remains a bit too timid.

Ambitious, mesmerizing and scary, The Medium's parallel worlds provide a brilliant atmosphere without reaching the full potential of their promises. Its lack of gameplay is balanced by an impressive narration, nonetheless.

A bloody trip that we enjoy alone but mostly with mate online.

Capcom and Fujiwara are resurrecting a legendary hard series and it is a success. They found a middle ground between tradition and modernity. Ghosts and Goblins Resurrection is indeed really smooth on Switch but some enemies and platform phases are really hard and random which makes the experience sometimes unfair. It's definitely not a game for everyone.

Wild Hearts is a good experience in the monster hunting genre without upsetting the usual standards, well established by the competition.

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.

A bit more complex, a bit more polished, Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a typical follow up for the first game, with just what is needed, no more, no less. A title that remains a bit weak compared to the norm for this genre.

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.

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

Aliens : Fireteam's gameplay needs to be perfected to really be enjoyed in the long term, but fans of the double-jawed beast can wait with some great story and atmosphere. Let's see where it goes from there.

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 Are Football 24 is an excellent gateway to the world of sports management. Not as in-depth or complex as the established competition, it is no less rich.

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

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

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

It's nice to get back to Subnautica for more narration and survival in this intriguing SF world built by Unknown World. But Below Zero feels like it aimed for more and didn't achieve it. We're left with a nice new story and great environments, but also a bit of frustration.

Thanks to a few great features, Ad Infinitum delivers an efficient psychological and horror experience.

An adventure that ends up being quite dull compared to the stakes involved. Relying on the (old) Creed formula, the title remains pleasant in hand and doubly pleasant in co-op.

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.

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.

Bearing in mind that this Tales of Graces is first and foremost a Wii game, there's no doubt that this new version, while conventional and benefiting mainly from a cleaner visual touch, remains the best version for discovering Asbel and Sophie's adventure.

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.

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.

Frogwares tries to do a bit too much and there a some annoying bugs left, but this new entry in the franchise still offers some interesting innovations for the fans, and becomes a great entry to discover Sherlock Holmes' video game adventures.

A pleasant game for anyone willing to explore its abstract universe and general design. The story does captivate, helped with a great audio, but the end feels like unfinished.

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.

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.

The best of Monkey Ball, for nostalgics and newcomers. Banana mania doesn't betray its old school gameplay, and makes it more accessible to everyone.

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.

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.

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.

Eiyuden Chronicle Rising show great ambitions and keeps most of these promises even if it gets lost at times. A good introduction to the new universe by the creators of Suikoden, Rabbit & Bear.

Pleasant to play, visually beautiful, full of humor, we are delighted to be able to return to the world of Borderlands in the manner of a TellTales. Unfortunately, the additions of gameplay and the wobbly side of its scenario do not play to its advantage.
