Discovering a new licence is always a real pressure and Flintlock delivers us a classic - and somewhat short - solid trip which deserves any interest it will get.

Good ideas hindered by poor execution keep Blades of Fire from being the sharpest tool in the shed.

Crash Team Rumble is not a bad game but its lack of content doesn't help it.

Even If Monster Energy Supercross 25 shows some good intentions, it doesn't reach the standard of a Milestone productions yet.

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.

Sonic Frontiers is nice, but gives the impression of an early access title, looking like a technical demo or a potpourri full of ideas from other licenses, without being perfectly understood.

A small action game with very good handling and an art direction on a par with the original, we were nonetheless expecting a little more entertainment from this new LEGO title in the Horizon universe.

If its gameplay can feel common and somewhat frustrating, Under The Waves shines through the serious themes addressed with great respect and maturity, that should leave a mark on you.

An unique artistic direction and haunting music, but this Remaster of Onimusha 2 suffers from rigid gameplay, dated technology and a lack of modernisation of the experience for newcomers.

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.

Harold Halibut's unique art and interactive film-like approach will appeal to gamers who want an original story full of surprises before anything else.

With its visual poetry and contemplative tone, Spirit of the North 2 invites you on a spiritual journey full of symbols. But this daydream is regularly interrupted by technical glitches and questionable game design choices.

Scorn is an author's game. An imperfect work of art indeed, but if the dull fighting gameplay doesn't set you off, the game will leave its mark on you, way after you turn the machine off.

An ambitious episode which, despite its imperfections, proves that the legendary goblin has lost none of its splendour. Not everything is perfect, but the goblin knows how to use its charms and assets to achieve its ends.

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.

For a series that releases an opus every two years, Sniper Elite: Resistance's new chapter offers a rather unobtrusive evolution of its formula, sticking to the basics of what Sniper Elite 5 was all about. Nevertheless, it's a thoroughly honest game that will delight fans of the series and newcomers alike.

With too many shortcomings and technically out of it, Mario Golf Super Rush doesn't even shine through it's main feature. Big disappointment, it's a double bogey.

A cooperative game that is simple and powerful, fun and generous, all at a low price: a combo that has everything to meet success.

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.

Importals Of Aveum has all he need on its hand to be a new strong license. All lights are green except for one but major point : its render far from what was shown until yet.

A solid conclusion using all the mastered features from the license.

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.

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.

Eternal Strands is an ambitious and satisfying first game for Yellow Brick Games. Its sandbox is teeming with interactions and calls for experimentation, its world is a pleasure to explore, and you get attached to its universe and characters despite their somewhat uneven writing.

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.

JDM Japan Drift Master returns to the fundamentals of racing games, offering marked progression, immediate enjoyment, and an advanced drift culture. An affordable, enjoyable title with a unique identity.

Technically, artistically and script-wise, we've seen much better elsewhere. All the same, Outcast: A New Beginning is not unpleasant to play.

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?!

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

Star Ocean struggles to keep its interest over the hours, due to an outdated style, a gameplay below the competition, and a nice story, but anecdotal.

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.

Through its rhythm and its brutality, The Callisto Protocol manages to put player in constant tension and discomfort, offering a memorable experience.

More generous than its predecessors, the new Katamari still rolls with it, aided by its silliness and artistic direction. An excellent introduction to the saga.

Aliens : Fireteam's gameplay needs to be perfected to really be enjoyed in the long term, but fans of the double-jawed beast can wait with some great story and atmosphere. Let's see where it goes from there.

Eldegarde shows itself at its best, with a version that has fully benefited from its early access to capitalize on its areas for improvement and put them into practice. Not everything is perfect yet, however, and it requires full commitment to really enjoy this new release, but the progress is palpable.

Ereban: Shadow Legacy suffers from too many flaws to be considered a indie nugget... but we still want to see more from that studio in the future.

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.

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.

Pleasant to play, visually beautiful, full of humor, we are delighted to be able to return to the world of Borderlands in the manner of a TellTales. Unfortunately, the additions of gameplay and the wobbly side of its scenario do not play to its advantage.

Last Flag is built on a simple and effective concept, getting straight to the point: immediate fun, without any detours. While the first moments in-game feel magical, Last Flag will still need strong assets to keep its player base hooked, which will require additions to be implemented quickly and on a regular basis.

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

Chains of Freedom combines Classic mechanic for turn-based tactical with a solid story to delivers a pleasant game.

SAO Fractured Daydream modifies its formula thru a new construction but still delivers a massive and enjoyable content and gameplay.

The fact that they created 2 versions of Marc Cuban is a testimony of how NBA 2K is the best sport sim in the market ! Using Mamba Mentality, 2K24 goes even further than before.

Midnight Murder Club has a solid basis, but the content is not enough at this time.

Killing Floor III has a satisfying enough base to give it a chance, but the game currently lacks the content to fully compete with its predecessors or the competition.

Horror, cosmic and spiritual are the promised and served ingredients of The Chant. Jess'journey brings us into a solid and dark universe that has no envy to other games.

Both classic in its typical FMV features and original with its time loop component, Dead Reset is a pleasant surprise and a good FMV.

Thanks to a few great features, Ad Infinitum delivers an efficient psychological and horror experience.

Songs of Silence misses the mark in a number of respects, weighing down the overall experience somewhat. The campaign is more frustrating than anything else, but the skirmish saves the day.

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.

Fairy Tail 2 is more than just a sequel. Gust delivers a real breath with a revisited formula much more dynamic and fun, but sad to found back the same defaults than the 2020 game.

Improvements and additions are scarce with Madden 22, it all makes it for an average game unworthy of next gen consoles.

A Classic pirate trip mixing navigation and exploration. Not so bad but with a frustrating lack of surprise.

The remastered version allows you to rediscover Anima from a modernized and accessible perspective. A long, varied, and immersive adventure that is thoroughly compelling.

Disjunction fills all the specifications of its genre but fail to master them. Without that little extra soul that would keep us going for hours, boredom settles pretty quickly.

Sport mode is a mess and doesn't do justice to the incredible qualities of Dakar Desert Rally. The game is way better on Pro and Sim modes. Following to roadbook to find your path in this absolutely huge Saudi Arabia feels really great.

Good ideas and a strong license, but the transition to video game is not without pain.

High On Life is a Comedy FPS that hits its target with its writing but not so much with its shooting. Too bad there's no localised version because it's really funny.

The setting of the game is beautiful and makes us want to contemplate the universe of Oddworld. The cinematics are also outstanding and the game is very generous in terms of content. The gameplay first seems more modern and nervous, yet the overall experience is as frustrating as frustration can get. The crafting elements combined with the 1st-time only activated check point force us to loot lockers and dumpsters as we die (so again and again and again). The game has a lot of bugs and the repetitiveness of some segments of the game can make the overall experience dull instead of fun.

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.

A-Train goes very far into train management, and even beyond that, with gameplay elements that are not remotely close to its main topic, tourism. Still, it would be fun if not for the archaic and arid interface.

At times innovative and, above all, immersive, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss offers a solid experience for a mystery game, but it sorely lacks the horror element that’s supposed to send shivers down your spine.

Beautiful and dynamic, but of more than questionable interest, Destiny 2: Eclipse really miss its mark. And that's a shame.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 leaves a mixed impression. It moves forward, tries new things, experiments, but stumbles as soon as it attempts to surpass itself. The ideas are there, but the structure still lacks the cohesion needed to transform it all into a memorable whole. This offering remains too uneven to really take off.

The Precinct is a tribute to the police films of the 80s / 90s, with a formula that combines sandbox gameplay and solid storytelling. A real pleasant and fun game the controller, as we like to discover.

Halfway between Arcade and Management, Park Beyond offers an experience that is sometimes fun, sometimes plain.

Although it still lacks a final touch of optimisation, The Casting of Franck Stone is surely one of Supermassive's best on paper, thanks to an unusual construction and interweaving that gives it a new dimension.

Slitterhead delivers a bloody and dark universe where its gameplay and mechanics can show its full potential. Even if it's not perfect, Slitterhead remains a good game.

Kiln is an original concept, simple and effective, that hits the target, though its few weaknesses add some shadows when it comes to the final conclusion. It feels fresh and fun, but lacks the depth needed to sustain interest over time.

Payday 3 follow the path created by its previous episodes, without taking any risk. The fun is there, just as the "déjà vu" feeling is.

Pleasant to play, Forever Skies is frustratingly short on story, which doesn't quite fit in with the basic upgrade mechanics. The repetitive nature of the locations to explore doesn't help either.

Asha in the Monster World feels like an opportunistic remake. The unambitious graphic update has a hard time breathing a new life to a dated game design, and it’s tough to enjoy the whole thing in 2021.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks to its on-field gameplay, Madden NFL 25 is a solid American football game, but one that tends to rest on its laurels rather than make the great renewal it deserves, and is sorely lacking in ambition and innovation, even suffering in comparison with its clone, College Football 25.

This RPG/Card game hybrid is interesting for a few hours but the need to farm to face an unbalanced difficulty makes it a bit of a lackluster.

War Hospital immerses us in the management of a hospital in first World War, where each choices impacts our community. An original and interesting game which still need some improvements and patches to reach the expected level.

Synduality : Echo of Ada delivers some cool features but could be more that "just a good game" by enhancing few aspects.

An episode without ambition or soul, carried at arm's length by a pleasant gameplay and a sublime ost.

Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion is a revolutionary departure from its 2020 opus, achieving most of its objectives but without shedding any of its past shortcomings.

Jet Kave Adventure's controls and gameplay are polished and fun to play, but the game is lacking in the content and level design departments, making it a bit frustrating, not in a good way.

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.

In seeking to appeal to the widest possible audience, Concord suffers from a déjà-vu identity, with gameplay mechanics that require more investment than they appear, and already suffers from a lack of interest from players.

Deliver At All Cost is designed to entertain, but its repetitiveness and frustrating technique make it a bore.

Demon Slayer Sweep The Board is not a bad party game but its lack of content really deserves the whole experience.

Awaken Astral Blade combines the classic metroidvania genre with a few clever in-house variations. Even if it doesn't entirely stand out from the competition, Awaken Astral Blade is well worth a look.

Sons of Sparta faithfully takes elements from God of War games and mixes them with a by-the-book, sometimes too linear and clumsy metroidvania.

A lot of bugs and crashes will spoil the experience. The game design and the storytelling with one camera shot never switching angle feels outdated and don't do any justice to the brilliant artistic vision and message hidden behind Biomutant.

An adventure that ends up being quite dull compared to the stakes involved. Relying on the (old) Creed formula, the title remains pleasant in hand and doubly pleasant in co-op.

Painkiller version 2025 embraces its shift to a game-as-a-service model and does it well, even if it comes at the cost of its soul. It's a good cooperative outlet, fast-paced and fluid, but one that leaves early fans behind.

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.

A solid first half carried by convincing performances, appealing environments and an excellent soundtrack won't save Aphelion from its unsatisfying resolutions and simplistic gameplay for everyone.

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.

Edge of Fate is a timid start to a new chapter that takes us back to the early days of the game: a few flashes of brilliance for a lot of things that have yet to be worked on.

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.

A classic roguelite that ticks quite a few boxes, but whose technique is seriously lacking.
