A sequel more in line with a Remake tarnished by a format outdated by today's standards.

The Thaumaturge is a breath of fresh air in the world of RPGs: its universe is quite new, and steeped in a culture we're not used to see in video games. Its imperfections are masked by its originality and effective art direction.

We're totally on board with what DontNod has to offer, with this torn couple, this duality of gameplay and this dangerous world, but one whose every corner we want to explore. There's not much to criticize about this new production, which has so much to offer.

A decent title, with deceptively bad gameplay that can only get better with time and more content.

Another manga-to-video game adaptation best being forgotten.

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.

Persona 3 is one of the best JRPGs of its time, and Reload is an impeccable remake that makes it easier than ever for a new generation to experience it. The package is not as comprehensive as one would have liked, but it remains the best way to explore the mysteries of the Dark Hour.

Infinite Wealth is to Like in Dragon what Tears of the Kingdom is to Breath of the Wild: bigger, better, richer and more intense.The magnificent picture is marred by a technique that sometimes falls short of current expectations, by a few repetitions at times, and above all by the publisher's simply outrageous choice of content for the Deluxe Edition.

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.

It could have gone the extra step to be your all around good fighting game.

What a disappointment! We had high hopes for Tintin Reporter: Cigars of the Pharaoh and hoped to finally enjoy a game worthy of the name of the famous comic character. Unfortunately, there are still far too many inaccuracies, outdated ideas, tasteless sequences and bugs to make the whole thing satisfying.

A Call Of Duty which tries to refresh its formula, which is not a great success for the campaign, and that recycle far too much with its multiplayer. Zombie mode saves the day, but is it enough at full price?

A walking simulator with some interesting decisions and a gripping story that's well supported by its setting and direction.

Articulate and at times obtruded with motion gaming, Move It! expends a lot of energy to amuse players, but for the first time, gives a feeling of repetition. The potty spirit never gets old, but it's just as easy to move on.

A highly enjoyable title for fans of the old saga, but unfortunately lacking in solid technical prowess and sufficient ambition to stand up to the competition.

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.

A fine climb, easy and short enough to avoid becoming repetitive. It just lets you bath in its story and ambiance.

Alan Wake 2 is a triumph of gameplay, atmosphere, writing, and technology.

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

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.

Mastery and good ideas lead to excellence for Cocoon.

A true return to the origins of the license, suffering from an outdated engine.

THE moto simulation title to play, not more, not less.

A solid and immersive trip when we used to play Nobunaga's series.

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.
