With MotoGP25, Milestone delivers THE moto simulation game so far.

When you start playing Jotunnslayer Hordes of Hel, you accept the risk that a quick 15-minute run could turn into an hour of gameplay, or even more. Both classic and original at the same time, its formula hooks us in for a successful journey.

A great simulation of baseball and mostly of the MLB. From the outstanding sound design, to the announcers or the MLB Network coverage, everything makes you feel that you’re in a ballpark or watching a real MLB game on TV. Next Gen features such as fast loading are a big deal. It makes it even more disappointing that the game only comes in English.

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.

Date Everything has an ambitious vision of the genre and succeeds in making it a reality, but beware: it requires a player with just as much ambition to appreciate it to the full.

FIFA 22 adds a lot of improvements going the right way towards a true simulation of football. Yet, the aging frostbite engine spoils these additions and the FUT mode is keeping its arcade grip on the whole gameplay.

Drop Duchy isn’t a flashy game, but it’s devilishly clever. It’s a title built on a strong concept, executed to perfection, that manages to captivate players with its rich systems, all while drawing on classic mechanics—some of which even trace their roots back to the very history of video games. Addictive without being flashy, challenging without being frustrating, it stands out as an excellent surprise for puzzle and strategy enthusiasts—now available to everyone.

Elden Ring: Nightreign is a bold co-op spin-off that turns contemplative exploration into a tactical race against time. A brilliant concept held back by the lack of crossplay and voice chat, both crucial for full team potential.

This collection gives a lot of love to arcade lovers... And Capcom fans.

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!

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.

Thanks to a dynamic and an absorbing gameplay, huddled with completely mastered artistics, Vengeful Guardian Moonrider is an outstanding tribute the good days of video game and starts this year of gaming with verve.

Techland takes what made Dying Light great, and brings it to the next level in every way. Parkour is faster, combat is more violent, and choices matter more. The tale of Aiden left us breathless. Day and night, exploring Villedor is a terrifying and gripping experience.

A nice take on the 4X Civ-like kind of strategy from Amplitude, already experienced in the genre. But it feels too safe, to cautious, and it reminds of the first Endless Space, and huge gap crossed by Endless Space 2. We can only wish for Humankind 2 then, but the first game still is a great game for newcomer or Civ veteran looking for some fresh mechanics.

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.

Synapse delivers a rocking gameplay and rogue lite aspect, with an intelligent use of all PS VR 2 functionality and power. Impossible to miss this explosive production.

The D20 ruleset is carefully recreated and the DM won't let you stray away from the story, but the studio's name isn't Roleplay Adventures after akk : it really is Tactical Adventures and this D&D RPG knows how to challenge players with its combat first and foremost.

You might think that Hell Is Us is just another Soulslike among many, but its blend of classic elements and unique touches gives it tremendous potential.

Tales of Berseria Remastered marks the return to form of a major opus, prioritizing efficiency over spectacle with a version that provides the necessary comfort to fully enjoy the journey without betraying its DNA.

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.

Although there are still a few areas that could use some tweaking —particularly in terms of ergonomics— Crimson Desert manages to live up to the hype. It’s not perfect, but the authenticity of its world, the richness of its content, and its engaging gameplay make it a standout title for the start of 2026. Pearl Abyss has a diamond that’s still a bit rough around the edges, but with a little polish, it’ll be nothing short of divine.

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.

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.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 Turbocharged follows the path created by the first episode, with some news features and adjustments. Pure arcade racing to enjoy.

Vampire The Masquerade Blood Hunt doesn't revolutionize the battle royal style, but brings some fresh new features thanks to a solid level design and nice gameplay options. A good BR game, a bit different from what we are now used to play.

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.

A very strong tactical RPG from NeoCore, rich and enticing. King Arthur Knight’s Tale is a convincing trip in Avalon that's very close to something even greater.

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

Invincible VS is a competent tag fighter with interesting systems that deepens the basics of the genre, but its approach to content in a modern fighting game is perhaps a bit to old school.

There's a lot to love in As Dusk Falls. Everything surrounding the game is thoughtful. The multiplayer aspect is very smart, the Twitch integration is well thought, and the narrative tree is well made. Unfortunately, all these great ideas serve a story that has been told many times before, relies on clichés, and misses the mark on many of its more sensitive themes.

Our favorite sniper comes back with a great and renewed formula. The small fails don't affect the pleasure in game, boosted by its improved features. Alone, or online, Sniper Elite 5 is great experience.

Nothing much new for this 2021 edition of MotoGP, but the simulation builds a bit on the pretty good MotoGP 2020 and keeps up the good work.

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

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.

Going Medieval is already incredibly addictive in its own right, and you’ll always be left wanting more – something that’s sure to continue in the years to come. It’s a strong contender alongside established titles like Dwarf Fortress and RimWorld, offering a less punishing, visually appealing experience that’s quite varied and brimming with architectural possibilities.

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.

An accessible and fun VR shooter, faithful to the Men in Black universe. A dynamic campaign, designed like a roller coaster ride, which provides entertainment without pretending to be anything more.

It's all in the title. A true sandbox of gags and violent action fully exploiting VR.

Dead Island 2 manages to stand out in a saturated zombie game scene by approaching the genre from an angle of pure and unadulterated fun, and succeeds at doing so. The arsenal is effective, the game world is a perpetual playground, and the zombies are as much an obstacle as they are a way to blow off steam. The recipe is effective enough to overlook the game's limitations and have a great time swimming in gore.

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

FIFA 23 misses the mark. The whole game is based on its fast pace and depth, but the collisions are still failing and infuriating. The addition of the heavy shot leaves us fearing the worst. That said, the game is very beautiful on Next Gen and the content remains enormous and will keep you busy all season, for lack of anything better.

While this remaster of Saga Frontier 2 boasts sumptuous HD graphics and a rich story with a few new features, it is still a game aimed at an audience with sufficient English skills to get through its content, whereas the original version benefited from a French translation.

Thanks to an impeccable production, NBA 2K22 feels more immersive and realistic than ever. Its gameplay is slower and more true to the game of basketball. Even though the RPG features of My Career are pretty bad, its content is still extremely rich. It all makes for the best NBA 2K in years.

Even though it's not perfect, Unbound still is the best NFS since Underground and manages to put the license back on track.

Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles 2 builds on the foundations of the first instalment and takes each slider up a notch. Even if there's room for improvement in one area or another, we've finally got a big Demon Slayer fighting game in our hands.

These 12 minutes are first intriguing and addictive but the second part of the game feels really repetitive and the plot loses all of its interest and quality.

Although there are still a few shortcomings, Rise Of the Ronin takes us on a delightful historical journey, with enjoyable gameplay and generous, well-crafted content. We validate this rewriting of Bakumatsu.

It is better to know what to expect so as not to be disappointed: Dordogne is a pretty narrative story, which we would have liked a little more open. And the lovely art direction doesn't work for everything.

It's all fun and games until it stop because the game is just so short. Wario Ware: Get it Together! is a good new entry for newcomers, and just enough to calm down the fans, but let's not wait another 15 years for the next one, please?

Cronos The New Dawn delivers gripping tension and atmosphere, but its slow pace and technical and narrative issues hinder immersion.

A captivating universe and lore for those willing to read its codex and accept an imperfect gameplay.

Heavily inspired by its model, Temtem poses as a solid alternative to Pokémon, but without the same aura.

Far from being weakened by the loss of the FIFA name and licence, EA drops one of the best football sim in years.

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare II delivers enough modification and new functions to give a second breath to its license. A solid campaign with a massive multiplayer content waiting for us.

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.

Darwin's Paradox is a delightful surprise. Original, clever, and polished, it confidently carves out a niche in the competitive platformer genre by offering a physics-based approach and making perfect use of its main character, a cephalopod with endless possibilities. While it doesn’t revolutionize the genre, it stands out as a memorable experience, driven by a strong identity and fun, inspired gameplay, despite a few tedious back-and-forths and an ending that falls short of the rest of the adventure. We can’t wait for the sequel—whether it’s in the form of DLC or a bigger, more expansive adventure.

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

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. Double Exposure is more restrained but also deeper, offering a captivating and moving story about the strength of friendship, the weight of one’s mistakes, and the place everyone must carve out for themselves in the world.

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.

An excellent space RTS like few others. A breathtaking campaign, polished single-player and multiplayer gameplay... With its content additions and future mods, Homeworld 3 could become the worthy heir to the mythical saga and a benchmark for the genre.

Atelier Marie Remake is not a bad game, but delivers not enough adding to justify its price, especially after the two last gorgeous episodes with rich and complex content.

A title for everyone, sometimes a bit simplistic, sometimes very inventive. The title remains a pure pleasure for any Lego fan, even without the usual humor.

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

Not a perfect game but one that delivers some solid gameplay within a rich universe brought to life through an atypical artistic direction. The work of one man, Tomas Sala took the time to implement all the dual sense functionalities needed for this Warrior Edition on PS5.

Inspired by classics of the genre, Lost Eidolons delivers a massive experience with its own homemade features. I recommend this insane T-RPG without a doubt.

Even if some features may deserve a better treatment, Aliens Dark Descent deliver us an enjoyable real time strategy trip in Alien's world.

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

We want more surprise like Eternights, which combines several classic features to deliver a powerful game. A new Indies must-have.

A successful first foray into video games for Maliki! And a good reminder to the world that French creators have talent, both in comics and RPGs.

Lords of the Fallen succeeds in everything it tries. This may be a blood-filled trip but Mournstead, through its magical dual world, always calls us back for a last mortal dance.

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon offers a dark fantasy revisiting of the lore of King Arthur for an absorbing journey, exuding the passion of the Questline studio for RPGs.

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