    Miasma Chronicles knows how to seduce players by highlighting its strengths while hiding its few gray area (still... they do exist). Miasma Chronicles is a real kick-ass new IP.

    Aiming to be a pure sim above all, TT Isle of Man 3 may seem too hardcore but knows how to reward the player if you invest yourself enough.

    Diablo is back, enough said. The formula modernizes itself and succumbs to the allure of forced multiplayer live service, but the core remains intact. The game offers a campaign as sinister as it is captivating, built on extremely solid foundations that welcome new players, while providing veterans with plenty to sink their teeth into for months and years to come.

    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 gameplay of Gollum, without great energy and suffering from a quickly palpable repetitiveness is balanced with the exploration of Tolkien"s lore, as well as with the duality of our character, central in the progression.

    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.

    Still grandiose, still offering a range of possibilities that are still astonishing, TOTK is "still" Zelda. With its rough edges, its moments of grace and its ability to always distract, the experience is just diminished by recalcitrant controls and a lack of identity. The discovery remains, the effectiveness is diminished.

    The Great War: Western Front builds on very good ideas, but a lot of them are not properly executed, and the high difficulty doesn't help. It's not fun, the AI is cheating, too, unfortunately.

    An honest game which does not think itself more beautiful than it really is, but which could undoubtedly have rubbed shoulders with the masters of the genre by deepening its best ideas a little more.

    Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp combines nostalgia and modernity to deliver a captivating experience for strategy enthusiasts. While the lack of online matchmaking is a notable limitation, this content-rich remake still deserves the attention of both fans and newcomers alike.

    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.

    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.

    Road 96: Mile 0 doesn't bring much to its predecessor. We lose the innovative gameplay of the first game, and the writing lacks the incisiveness that made it great. The game relies on awkward musical sequences and a story that is too blunt to be credible. After the initial pleasure of diving back into this universe, boredom replaces nostalgia a little too quickly.

    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.

    Capcom has succeeded in delivering the Resident Evil 4 version that all fans have been dreaming of. This remake is both an impressive technical achievement, an intelligent reinvention of its own gameplay, and a reinterpretation of a storyline that improves in maturity, even if the game is sometimes a little bit too faithful to the original work.

    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.

    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?!

    Although relatively similar to its predecessor, Octopath Travelers 2 is still an excellent game that goes even further. Even if you haven't done the first one, you can be sure to be immersed in these new story.

    We would be hypocrites to deny ourselves the pleasure of seeing Blood Bowl back in a cleaner and more "up-to-date" version, but that is also the biggest problem with this new opus. The fact that it is Blood Bowl 3 is not obvious, as it feels like a simple remaster. Even worse, we are leaving a previous episode better balanced and with more teams than this one. Of course, the customization can bring a real pleasure and an even greater investment in our teams (if it does not gradually become only governed by the virtual currency of the game). There is no doubt that the title will become more interesting as the months go by with real patches, team additions and so on. It is still difficult to recommend Blood Bowl 3 for the moment, as it struggles to offer a sufficiently technically accomplished title.

    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.

    Nice try. Wanted: Dead disappoints in every aspect, and it’s heartbreaking. You can see there’s an amazing game right there. But the gameplay is not precise enough to be fun. The game doesn’t have the time to tell the story of its goofball characters: it’s so short you’ll feel it hasn’t really started when you’re done with it.

    Will these "hardcore Final Fantasy's" fans be satisfied? Yes. With a gargantuan list of titles, a plethora of collectibles and characters to evolve, this new opus will keep you busy for (many) hours. We regret that some titles are only simple extracts of a longer tune and the season pass way too important to be put aside - therefore increasing the "real" price of the title -. Still we have to admit that the formula is ultra efficient if, and only if, you are a Square Enix fan.

    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.

    If the narrative turn is not up to the playful qualities of the game, this journey to the planet Mars remains as surprising as it is interesting.

    Motive delivers the best possible version of Dead Space. The USG Ishimura is terrifying, and the way the Forstbite Engine is playing with light and shadows will give you nightmares for weeks. Beyond the technical aspects, improvements to the gameplay are sparse and the experience is about the same as it was 15 years ago. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

    Forspoken falls into all the traps set by the design of an action adventure game in an open world, where linking narration and gameplay is a very difficult alchemy. A game that really only begins when it ends.

    The expectations were huge, but Kratos' shoulders are wide and even though the automatized actions are regrettable and offering more freedom to the player would benefit the game overall.
