Perhaps a little too focused on fans of the series, the Shin chan experience can nevertheless be enjoyed by all.

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.

Boltgun perfectly aims at its nostalgic target and hit with a good game that fit well within the W40K universe.

The strengths of No More Heroes 3 that are its crazy universe and its pleasurable fights manage to eclipse its faults, especially technical ones. One can only note the good will and the immense work of Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture to refine the recipe of their cult series. Never has the production of a No More Heroes been so neat, the fights so technical and the rhythm so well mastered. The copy is not without some erasures, however. We think of the open world so little alive and some bosses who deserved better treatment. Anyway, No More Heroes 3 is a very good title that will delight fans and perhaps allow others to take a first step into the garden of madness.

Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes delivers an experience tinged with nostalgia, in true homage to Suikoden and its mythical formula. At times too rooted in the past, this production is nonetheless a solid one.

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

While it doesn't offer anything groundbreaking, Forestrike's smart mix of puzzle and action offers a very gratifying experience when you play by its rules.

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.

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.

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.

Alien Rogue Incursion is a nice VR game but we surely expected a different approach to match the Alien's universe.

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.

No revolution, but a new, modern, and solid vintage for even more fun with friends, family, or online.

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.

A generous Total War in good shape from the outset, and one that will be refined over time.

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).

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.

Gord is not a bad game but for each good feature, we are confronted to a bad one. Gord is still worth playing when we taking its small price into account.

Steelrising turns out to be a perfectly correct Souls-like, but which still has some flaws specific to Spiders productions.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly, the original, is a classic any survival horror fan would recommend, but it’s also a game that has aged quite a lot. This remake does an impressive job of refreshing its presentation and delivers an unmatched atmosphere that will delight fans of classic Japanese horror cinema. The gameplay, however, remains stuck two decades in the past, and the improvements aren’t enough to make the combat less stiff or more enjoyable, turning every encounter with an evil spirit into an exhausting ordeal.

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.

More than just "another Soulslike", Wuchang Fallen Feathers delivers a solid trip in Antic China with several with its own mark on this genre. Just remains few tweaks and here we go.

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.

Tailor a survival experience to enjoy the charms of a story that sometimes drags on for too long (but then again, nobody's forcing you to build five different bases...).

Still Wakes The Deep is one of those games that you don't expect, but which manage to grab you deeply.

Definitively the kind of game you'll use to show of the power of your high end PC or Next Gen console : the visuals are amazing. But the gameplay or the story don't offer anything of note. The Ascent is Kinda fun for a while, but quickly repetitive and is obviously lacking depth.

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.

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.

With its new licence, Don't Nod is following in the footsteps of Life is Strange, while skilfully managing to distinguish itself from it.

"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.

Average everywhere, but good nowhere, the new license from Square Enix struggles to convince.

Outriders gather true and tried gameplay functionalities from many games in the same genre. There’s no originality to be found here, but it will reward everyone who takes the time to discover its generous content and challenges.

One Piece Odyssey is a real success on several points, providing a real pleasure to live again reworked key moments from One Piece, with an addictive turn based JRPG.

Mafia returns more beautiful, more cinematic, and more linear than ever, but still suffers from bugs and a structure that loses some of its flavor as the game progresses.

Chorus is visually convincing, with a great gameplay, but too repetitive to go through, especially since the story remains pretty uninteresting despite all its efforts.

A beautiful new contemplative adventure from Okomotive with intuitive gameplay and gorgeous environments.

You'll have to be very patient or lucky to get the most out of Stalker 2. And it's well worth it, more for the atmosphere than anything else.

Despite recurring flaws, Call of Duty Vanguard manages to be convincing with its interesting campaign and its rich multiplayer. The zombie mode should have been fully stuffed at launch though. Once more, perfection is not for this year, but the new Call of is still OK.

Deep, rich, with a great replayability, Sneaky Yak offers a fresh experience with a low price and Spellcaster University is definitively fun and a great surprise. Don't miss it.

As original in its themes than it is classic in its gameplay, Floodland is a nice game to play between two bigger AAA in this holiday season.

Even considering it is intended for the casual public, Disney Illusion Island does not manage to be sufficiently convincing.

Without fully correcting the errors of the original Yakuza (and potentially adding new ones) and adding much more content, this remake is welcome news for fans and newcomers to the series alike, thanks to its dynamism and fresh new look.

A brilliantly narrated thriller, coupled with stunning photorealism, that brings us to the border between reality and the supernatural, for the best and nothing but the best.

The magic works over time, thanks to the regular additions and new features and the rich, comprehensive gameplay: while Towa is fairly classic in its construction, it is in its form that it stands out from its competitors. And what about the unexpected cooperation aspect?

Nintendo World Championships NES Edition is a wonderful introduction to speedrunning, rewarding, fun and non-frustrating. It’s also a great way to discover or rediscover some NES classics.

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.

Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny is a great new entry trying to be accessible. Still, both veterans and newcomers will have to digest quite a number of new gameplay mechanics, but this tactical RPG remains one of the best of its kind.

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 newly created universe of The Valiant is rich with a seemly minimalist but really solid gameplay on mission. A rocking action-strategy production which deserves that you look after it.

A true spiritual sequel to the classic 2D titles, Sonic Superstars will satisfy even the hungriest of fans, but not the most demanding.

A nice tribute for the older fans and an accessible entrance for the youngest. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are still a good experience thanks to their strong DNA, but suffer from not taking any risks and from a globally questionable production.

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

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.

Solo players will complete everything Mario Strikers has to offer pretty quickly, the game is being focused on multi. It's a solid game, from the gameplay, technical and artistic point of view, but it still needs some content updates.

No pixel revolution in this platformer that shines through its retro-cyberpunk vibes but not through its gameplay or narration.

An beautiful experience, but far too short. We don't have anything against short games, but the length of this one is frustrating. There was much more to tell.

An experience not without many technical flaws, but which will nevertheless convince fans of the genre.

Event if it lacks a bit of new features, The Walking Dead Saints & Sinners Chapter 2 Retribution remains a good VR games with now its polish release on PC VR and PS VR 2.

Our goblins are adorable, and we're eager to know the full scope of their sympathetically narrated adventure, but the gameplay loop skates right over the game's content, and we end up getting bored with fight after fight for minimal progression.

With huge single-player and multiplayer content, three factions and nearly a dozen maps at launch, this Men of War far surpasses anything the series has ever offered.

Classic, repetitive, but devilishly effective. Sand Land is a game with many flaws, but it manages to captivate thanks to its pleasant universe, sensational soundtrack and addictive, customizable gameplay.

Simple yet effective, Spy X Anya Operation Memories offers a compelling new adventure for the Forger family.

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

A pleasant, controlled single-player FPS experience, but without the means to push its ideas to the limit.

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.

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

Why so many unsolicited relations and dialogues in this dating game? We are warned at the beginning, but obviously Boyfriend Dungeon is not interesting and logical to tolerate it.

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.

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.

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.

With pleasant and well-optimized gameplay, Exoprimal remains nonetheless a sluggish, repetitive and unattractive title for the less relentless.

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.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is a simple but effective cooperative experience, brilliantly combining action, tactics, progression, and fun. It’s a solid choice for groups of friends looking to refresh their catalog for a few explosive evenings.

A story that struggles to convince, an archaic and technically outdated game structure... Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin largely misses its rendez-vous with the saga's origin.

Romeo is a weird sci-fi story, a sometimes stiff action game, but most importantly, it is memorable adventure and a very surprising videogame.

Wales Interactive offers a new efficient FMV with solid replayability. A must have of its genre.

Directive 8020 kicks off this new season of The Dark Pictures Anthology in style with a well-executed sci-fi horror journey, featuring revamped gameplay that pulls the player out of the role of spectator and turns them into a full-fledged participant. Can we talk about a Supermassive 2.0 formula? In any case, Directive 8020 is clearly heading in that direction.

LEGO 2K Drive fulfills its specifications with a fun and accessible game, without managing to shine in its genre.

A little platformer that lack a extensive OST, which is sad for a rhythmic game. Still, Hextech Mayhem is fun and a cheap way to extend the runeterra universe everyone is talking about now.

While some fans of the franchise may enjoy this new offering, newcomers and others will be frustrated by a game that didn't receive enough attention during development or that remained too stuck in the past to be truly successful.

Rogue Lords is an charming and addictive roguelike that let you teach from every death to get better and go further. Great mechanisms and low frustration, despite the die & retry approach.

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.

Even if Cris Tales has an enchanting graphic style, a nice fighting system and a more than appreciable OST, the title suffers from its technical side. The more the game goes on, the more it becomes difficult to enjoy it because of too many loading times, a sometimes sluggish scenario, multiple futile back and forths, and a general slowness of the title.

Robocop Rogue City Unfinished Business is a bit of a "same old, same old" in a condensed format that gets right to the heart of the matter: more fun, more excitement, more action... And well, that's pretty good as it is.

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.

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.

Gorgeous and generous, Minecraft Legends will not leave you indifferent, providing us what we except from a video game: having fun!

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.

More than just a FMV, we play and live the Centennial Case. Death & Immortality, side by side, in a strong story with heros brings to life by a sold casting.

A revival in style for the Commandos series. The game is meticulous, with open-ended missions where your creativity will be put to the test to achieve your goal. A must-have for fans of the series and new players alike.

The new sleepy adventures of Lo Wang in Shadow Warrior are played mechanically without much excitation. Where's the fun ?

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.

An UFO in the JRPG genre that is still very interesting for every curious gamer. Too bad this remaster does nothing to fix some of the problems found in the original game.

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

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.

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.

The franchise's return to the 3D platformer genre is marred by perspective issues and technical shortcomings.

Breathedge has its own qualities and problems and none is taking the lead on the other. You'll need to accept a few shortcomings to enjoy the breathtaking exploration of this survival game in beautiful, beautiful (and deadly) space. The only thing that can be scary is Redruins humor though.
