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

    An elegant and polished move to 3D for Kirby. It's generous game but far too systemic and easy though.

    This new opus is a great opportunity for everyone who dreamed of trying out the Monster Hunter licence but never dared to do so. Nonetheless Monster Hunter Rise find itself oversimplified because of its new features for most of the saga’s regulars.

    Bleach Rebirth of Souls may have a few minor flaws that take it a long way from perfection, but its formula is no less solid once you get to grips with its mechanics and discover a robust gameplay coupled with a premium cast.

    Where Winds Meet combines wuxia spectacle, deep RPG gameplay, and a living world, offering an immersive experience, but a few remaining technical glitches still impact the overall feel. We want to love it and lose ourselves in this rich world, but it still needs a little more polish to reveal its true potential.

    A bit fastidious sometimes, often original, Metroid Dread is kinda stuck between two worlds. Handling the game is counter-intuitive, but there's some great new additions and you'll find a well balanced difficulty. The game brings a new slice of mythology that has been expected forever now.

    The same dark and demanding JRPG it was 16 years ago, Shin Megami Tensei III is still a pretty good first entry for newcomers to the license, despite a lazy remaster.

    What Telmari attempts, it generally does well! The gameplay is very well mastered, the speedrun aspect is well brought out while remaining attractive to more traditional players, and the basic concept itself is appreciated from one end of the adventure to the other.

    Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruins has an old-school JRPG vibe and part of its gameplay will probably discourage many players. But if you don't mind and love the Monster Hunter franchise, it can become the ideal summer companion, fresh and fun, with solid content that'll keep you busy throughout its endgame.

    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.

    SCARS Above has enough arguments to deliver a rich and generous experience but some other features bring some clouds when the time is at the conclusion. A solid basis to be optimized for a prequel?!

    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.
    • 80 Metascore

    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.

    The Spell Brigade is a solid bullet hell, built on a classic foundation, enhanced with a few original mechanics that bring a welcome twist to the genre. Cooperative play is undoubtedly one of its greatest strengths, offering an unusual yet successful take on the bullet hell experience in multiplayer.

    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?

    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.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.

    Evil West offers a nice hunt, even if not all is perfect. This somewhat classic FPS provides a lot of much fun killing vampires.

    Like a young talent, Rematch has tons of potential, and some things it really needs to correct, yet, the title is largely within its reach.

    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.

    Not the revolution needed, Renegades still is a solid DLC. Both Destiny and Star Wars are artistically respected and Guardians' new toys, especially the Praxic Blade, fit nicely in Bungie's universe. More Destiny if you want some, let's hope 2026 shakes the formula a bit more.

    This time it's up to us to set the pace. With a successful incursion into the open-world, Pokémon evolves, and the result is unfortunately shamefully ugly. It's minus one.

    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.

    Greedfall The Dying World has high ambitions for a title of its rank, and manages to deliver on most of them when you pick up the controller. Spiders has captured the essence of the RPG genre, combining a solid narrative side, a living world that evolves alongside us, and rich gameplay. It's a major title for the AA world, with its strengths and weaknesses.

    Blasphemous 2 is a more than competent Metroidvania, diminished only by a sometimes unfair difficulty and a second half that is a bit too controlling.

    Existing between Ages of gaming, Bravely Default II is struggling with its penniless look and its repetitive gameplay. Nonetheless it gets better the more time you spend with it, and the game will reward you if you learn how to master it.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Despite a few glitches and a rather classic construction, Alone In The Dark is nonetheless a game that you'll love to play. The game's ambience is clearly present throughout, and the pace of puzzle completion and progression is very well managed.

    LEGO Batman: The Dark Knight Legacy is a safe bet—perhaps even too safe. It checks all the expected boxes without ever taking any risks. Worse still, it tries to have it both ways without ever fully satisfying players on either front. Fans will undoubtedly find something to enjoy, thanks in particular to the richness of the universe and the numerous references. But those hoping for a more significant evolution of the formula may be left wanting. This new installment of LEGO Batman thus fulfills its purpose with diligence. Accessible, generous, and faithful to the spirit of the franchise, it offers a pleasant and familiar adventure—for better or for worse... Another brick in a solid edifice, but one that could certainly use a bit of a refresh.

    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.

    Hi-Fi Rush is a nice surprise from Tango Gameworks. The originality of the combat system, halfway in the world of rhythm games, is a gimmick that gives the game its strength but also its biggest weakness, making it repetitive. With ten hours to finish the game, it's not a torture either.
