Live as many lives as it takes to be happy in I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. The addition of a little roguelike side to this narrative and progressive Sci-Fi life simulator gives it all its charm and makes it addictive.

A brand new version of Saints Row, without most of the problematic humor. Well within the standards of modern open world, but doing so, the game content remains far too old school to impress.

In a "been there done that" industry, Rollerdrome sounds fresh. It gives the player a new and dynamic experience offered in a beautiful comic envelope.

As addictive as it is offbeat, Cult Of the Lamb is a title to be savored without restraint, but its ending will leave you craving for more.

You understood it, Two Point Campus doesn't change anything of the formula previously seen in Hospital. No, it only improves it. The game is much more accomplished, in every way. The absurd humor is always present while the title is a lot of fun; so much so that we lower our vigilance to finally realize that you are mired in nameless complications. Two Point Campus is a very good management game for novices who will not feel lost and will be able to enjoy the serious difficulty of Campus as they go through the quests. Those who are more familiar with the genre will enjoy the quirky (and nostalgic for the older ones) universe much more, while the title won't be a particular problem for them.

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

The best title in its domain, loyal to the yearly rendez-vous, but again without any upgrade worth talking about.

Stray will easily be remembered thanks to its weirdly captivating world filled to the brim with details and the charming quirkness of its inhabitants, although it does suffer from a relatively short playtime despite clever puzzles.

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.

While keeping a classic mainline, High Isle infuses enough new features to keep players in game. A 2022 chapter moving away from pure fantasy for an attractive story with success.

Yes, Sunbreak is indeed the Iceborn of Monster Hunter Rise. Capcom strikes again a great blow with this DLC as substantial as qualitative. Once again, it is practically a new game that is presented here and players who will embark on the full adventure with this DLC will have a lot to do. If we understand that Rise has seen its development greatly slowed down by the health situation, since well caught up by the content offered in the meantime, Sunbreak does not suffer from this shortcoming. The game is rich in content, in a relatively varied proposal and in a challenge, admittedly slow for the most annoyed of us, but which will eventually show its face towards the End-Game. Moreover, Sunbreak has a care brought in its form as probably never before, the cinematics are beautiful, the new armors are almost all hit, the characters are all endearing and what to say about this epic OST! We'll criticize the appearance of the new bestiary, drowned in the overdose of the previous monsters.

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.

The Quarry is no more than the best Supermassive creation ever. A solid story driven by a polished gameplay, great replayability, and some solid technique. A must have in this first half of 2022.

Hands/eye coordination, concentration, self-control, a great memory... If you lack any of this, don't play Card Shark. It is a great - and beautiful - game, but a stressful one.

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.

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.

Dolmen displays good intentions but does not always check them out. With each interesting idea, a new balancing issue arises along the way.

They are far too many structural and functional issues with Swansong, but if you like this vampiric license, the story will give you the strength to face them all.

Farm Manager delivers us a solid simbuilder/management game, too bad pad gameplay is not always proper.

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.

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.

Not unforgettable but clearly memorable due to its beautiful aesthetics. The gameplay of Trek To Yomi is not perfect but the game is not long enough that the player will suffer from the small details.

Moto GP 22 is pretty much like the last one, which means it is good and fun, but there's really nothing new to find here.

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.

Nothing works very well in Winter Ember and maybe the game should have focused on stealth only, to bring us a smaller but complete experience.

This remaster is a bit lazy but it will help JRPG's fan to discover or rediscover this popular game from the PS1 era.

With an even better production than before, and an excellent new duo of announcers, MLB the Show 22 is more realist than ever before - there's no weariness here. Still wishing for a french version though.

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

A new step but not a revolution for the LEGO Games formula. The Skywalker Saga is certainly at the top of licensed video games by LEGO, and brings new ideas that are here to stay.

Tiny Tina's Wonderland is fun but far to repetitive to be enjoyed on the long run.

Ghostwire: Tokyo could have been something really special, but Tango Gameworks misses the mark. There's a ton of work put in the creepy atmosphere of the game. But things get boring very quickly with very repetitive gameplay and frustrating combats. A true missed opportunity.

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

More than a simple homage to the 8 & 16 bits era, Tunic knows how to keep things fresh for a while, with its charming and mysterious universe, and its inventive puzzles.

Chocobo GP is basically a good game, just a bit low on content, with only a few interesting races. Also, the business model is all over the place.

There are still a few flaws, but the new Syberia game will reconcile old fans of the saga after a problematic Syberia 3, and charm newcomers, with better controls and its perfect storytelling.

This is a great comeback for WEE2K, after more than a few missteps. Now we want more, just like 2K is doing for the NBA (but while keeping it light on the microtransaction side).

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.

Babylon's Fall offers many interesting ideas, but Platinum Games fails to deliver anything polished and fun, seemingly more interested in its cash shop. Another game as service gone wrong.

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

A synthesis of classic GT and GT Sport, but still with the usual license flaws. GT7 remains a beautiful love letter to the motorsport history and a very good "simarcade".

A pleasant journey lies in this 2022 iteration of the Atelier saga, with old-school gameplay and new ideas. A bit weird not to find any PS5 version or french subtitles as in the last entry, but still, this is a great game for veterans and newcomers alike.

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

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.

Elden Ring is the apex of the Soulsborne formula, but if you thought this instance will be easier to play and to beat, you’ll have to put your foolish ambitions to rest. The adventure in the Land-Between open world is a work of art and definitely unforgettable.

Egglia provides interesting ideas, solid gameplay, a nice magical world, and no difficulty whatsoever. It's okay if that's what you need, but no french subtitles for this talkative game limits its general interest.

An incredible abundance of mechanisms and factions to play and replay with in this new installment of the saga. Total War: Warhammer III welcomes veterans and new players alike with a beautiful new engine and their choice of weapons. Here we go again, for hundreds of hours more.

Forbidden West is Zero Dawn 1.5, so anyone who enjoyed the first one will love this one. If Zero Dawn hadn't convinced you, there's something to fall in love with now, but know that the recipe is roughly equivalent.

Bad performance, low content, and an omnipresent shop... At least the solo campaign from Remedy is a bit interesting, but that part is not free to play.

We waited long for Lost Ark to visit us in the West, but it was worth it. The gameplay of this CRPG-Action hybrid works well, with a lot of freedom and customisation from the gameplay. A complex but accessible F2P that will let you dive in its universe with style.

An incredibly mastered Beat Them All game with tints of Metroidvania and Rogue-like elements making the players want to run cycles after cycles.

A brave and interesting take on the Pokémon universe, but terribly flawed technically. If you can overcome this production's shortcomings, you'll be able to answer the usual call for adventure, still here for players old and new.

A (lot) more content on the multiplayer side would have been welcome, but as it is, Olli Olli World is enjoyable and will please anyone enjoying Scoring, and Scoring higher, and higher. Also, fancy art to boot.

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.

Inspired from Siege, the new Rainbow Six roots its strength in a mastered gameplay and a strong day one content. A potential hit if Ubisoft deserves Extraction the same follow up and update process than Siege.

We all know what a Serious Sam game has to offer in terms of gameplay when we sign for it, and Siberian Mayhem delivers, but with technical glitches and general low performances that are not acceptable.

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.

A nice tribute to the comics, but the gameplay remains too light and repetitive to keep us interested until the end.

The mixed genre of Grow makes for a fun and addictive gameplay that deserve your attention if you are into this kind of game, and are attracted by its magical setting. Not very original, but efficient.

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.

Master Chief is back for its fans, with some great new gameplay and a solid multiplayer. They will also enjoy the "good old times" aspects of the story, probably more than newcomers will. They also might be frustrated that the ambitious narration kinda falls short, ending when it should really start.

Even though it's not far from a skin for Battle Chasers, Ruined King certainly is a good RPG, with a great story and brilliant ost. Definitively a nice way to learn more about Runeterra and the extended universe of Riot's success, League of Legends.

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.

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.

Marsupilami – Hoobadventure is classic 2D platformer adventure. Solid despite not being very innovative. Far too short, though.

Hammerting gather many gameplay elements to make a great game but none of those mechanisms work together to create anything close to functional. Warpzone wasn't ready to release the game out of early access and we're not sure Hammerting will ever be a real game.

Tandem: A Tale of Shadows has a very sketchy staging and uneven technique. The game finds its strength in its solid gameplay, even though it is suffering from a lack of polish.

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.

Battlefield 2042 brings its share of greatness to the franchise, like the excellent Hazard Zone mode, but the usual bugs, the half-baked Conquest mode and some gameplay rollback are weighing on the general quality of this new iteration.

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.

As a game, Unpacking is limited to the simplest puzzle genre, without much difficulty. However, it is a storytelling wonder, accessible and very benevolent.

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.

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.

From its content to the incredible beauty of its representation of Mexico, Forza Horizon 5 offers an experience true to its roots. This 5th installment is already the best racing game you can find.

If you want to try a interactive FMV Battle Royale, Bloodshore does it perfectly with a touch of originality and a great replayability.

Riders Republic isn't called Steep 2 because of new gameplay functionnalities and its added little bit of craziness, but at its core it really is just a sequel, without much innovation. Still fun to play though, if you find your own pace through the repetitiveness.

While young and not perfected, New World is Amazon's first hit, a MMORPG with some classic aspects to it while others are refreshing. Its action gameplay, craft and endearing world building make for a pleasant journey, especially with no subscription. The rest will depend on Amazon capacity to entertain its community in the month to come.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy as a video game is a bit simple and repetitive, but still, it offers a funny, often moving, epic musical adventure with a smart Telltale-like narration.

Age of Empires IV is a brand new, wide open door to the licence. The game adds new layers of epicness, but it strike somewhere between the hardcore fan who might not find everything he likes and the more casual gamer that maybe won't be attracted by its clacissim. It's a great game, just make sure it's for you.

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.

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).

The best of Monkey Ball, for nostalgics and newcomers. Banana mania doesn't betray its old school gameplay, and makes it more accessible to everyone.

A nice new coat of paint for Alan Wake, and the gameplay doesn't change a bit for better or worse. An unforgettable experience even now, but might be that your memories of the game itself are embellished and Alan Wake did age a bit.

A pleasant game for anyone willing to explore its abstract universe and general design. The story does captivate, helped with a great audio, but the end feels like unfinished.

A lot of the fun in Sheltered 2 is about understanding how the game work, but you far to often realize it just doesn't. There's a lot of potential, but far too much frustration, even if Unicube decide to patch all the bugs.

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.

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.

Some technical shortcomings and a few content we would have liked to see but that Blizzard fails to provide. Nonetheless Diablo II was, is, and always will be a classic gaming experience and this new version certainly is the right tribute to the game, should you revisit or discover it.

Dice Legacy's gameplay sure is original, but you kind of tired quickly of intensive dice throwing. Also it lacks content to help us stick to its universe and challenges. Feels a bit like a two players boardgame played solo.

A strong but limited port on Switch for Ni No Kuni 2. This Prince Edition remains enjoyable and lovely, the license's universe feeling at home on Nintendo's console.

The story depicted in Kena is forgettable. But the journey to get there is absolutely not. Ember Labs gift us an artistic vision and an OST that are both splendid! The structure of the game is quiet classic and sometimes feels like routine but the fighting mechanics are incredible and the pleasure is undeniably there.

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.

Wrath of the Righteous offers an epic campaign that'll make you feel important right from the beginning and that will keep throwing outrageous enemies and events at you. This second Pathfinder doesn't evolve much though, and still misses some mechanism that would set it apart. The tactical Heroes stuff doesn't do the job.

Lost Judgment is a great follow up for the first title from Ryu ga Gotoku Studio, who takes everything that made the first game good and makes it better. Yagami and his friends will leave a lasting impression with this emotional story that shows the developer's strong writing and entertaining skills.

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?

A rich and diversified gameplay is at the heart of Deathloop, the like Arkane is known for, but the studio, or Bethesda is too shy of letting the player explore by himself et ruin the pleasure of exploration. Also, the invasion mechanism is a little too... invasive.

If you enjoy the visuals, the originality of Lost in Random will probably ensnare you, with its weird but efficient alchemy of cards, narration and dice.

Not the game of the year, and technically uneven, you'll still come back to Lawn Mowing Simulator from time to time for some peaceful non-action, helped by its great accessibility.

A great experience and brand new breath for the saga. Tales of Arise doesn't quite shake itself from bad old habits in the second part of the game, but it won't spoil its charm and the very interesting story.
