    Particularly well-informed and rigorous in its delirium, Promise Mascot Agency shines in its art direction and excellent translation.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Still Wakes The Deep is one of those games that you don't expect, but which manage to grab you deeply.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 60 Critic Score
    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.

    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.

    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.
