All the craziness and narrative talent we expect from Double Fine but the gameplay is a little too nostalgic. This is a good way to discover the old fashioned way of doing plateforme games, but Psychonauts 2 lacks in rhythm and intuitiveness.

Still the best rally game out there, with some impressive content and excellent dualsense compatibility on PS5. The career mode is simple but efficient and the 50th anniversary content is great for veteran players looking for some difficulty aimed at the long term fans of the license. Let's hope for some new gen engine for the next entry.

More than ever the trip is more important than the destination in Road 96, a game that works thanks to its stylish artistic direction, good writing, and some gameplay that stirs and spice up the narration.

These 12 minutes are first intriguing and addictive but the second part of the game feels really repetitive and the plot loses all of its interest and quality.

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.

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.

More of Ghost of Tsushima is always welcome. A solid adventure that subtly explores the past of Jin Sakai, and a version that honors the PS5.

Some good ideas and a great world building for this action RPG but it feels far too repetitive too quickly. We recommend Blightbound only to hardcore looters and farmers.

A nice take on the 4X Civ-like kind of strategy from Amplitude, already experienced in the genre. But it feels too safe, to cautious, and it reminds of the first Endless Space, and huge gap crossed by Endless Space 2. We can only wish for Humankind 2 then, but the first game still is a great game for newcomer or Civ veteran looking for some fresh mechanics.

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.

A sequel doubling down on its biggest strength: Exploration and forgetting its weaknesses, offering us a brilliant Metroidvania pushing the exploration at its best.

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.

The crow climbs on the shoulders of the greatest classic and takes flight. Death's Door is an adventure action masterpiece on all fronts.

The adventures of Phoenix Wright's ancestor never gets old ! Finally in occident, you'll find all the charms of the saga with these two games ! Except you really need to speak english. If you're not fluent, with no french version, forget about that nice score here, It'll be no more than an incomprehensible visual novel to you.

Not a perfect game but one that delivers some solid gameplay within a rich universe brought to life through an atypical artistic direction. The work of one man, Tomas Sala took the time to implement all the dual sense functionalities needed for this Warrior Edition on PS5.

Simple, intriguing and fresh, Omno is a good indie game, pretty short, rich with colors and diversity, a light and airy environment that let you explore its world. Very pleasant.

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.

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.

An interesting story with multiple ends that'll let you replay many times, for a little price. A risky development for Wales Interactif, but one that pays off.

The World Ends With You is back with its impeccable style and unique atmosphere, with a long awaited sequel. The combats are exceptionally punchy, the characters are interesting and endearing, and the music is unforgettable. The story succeeds at onboarding newcomers as well as answering a lot of questions fans of the first game had for years. NEO remains, however, like its predecessor, a very linear adventure, with pacing issues and gameplay that can become tedious.

The newest version of Skyward Sword on Switch is undeniably the best way to experience this great adventures but it hardly justifies the HD in its title. And if the controls don't do justice to the game all the time, the adjustments made on the rhythm and the QoF improvements are welcomed.

Red Wings could have been a fun little game with more efforts from the developers. The lack of content makes it dull a after a - too little - while.

Fishing: North Atlantic can be fun and a nice change of scenery, but the AI's shortcomings and the lack of information makes it less pleasant than it could be.

The Creative Assembly ends Total War Warhammer 2 beautifully with this last DLC. It really shows their commitment and we can expect the same for TW Warhammer 3. And who knows, maybe we can hope for extra DLC yet to come?

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.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruins has an old-school JRPG vibe and part of its gameplay will probably discourage many players. But if you don't mind and love the Monster Hunter franchise, it can become the ideal summer companion, fresh and fun, with solid content that'll keep you busy throughout its endgame.

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.

The return of Alex Kidd is pretty good, but will not be unanimous among the players. Graphically, the studio offers us a very beautiful game with detailed environments and high quality cartoon characters, all enhanced by effects of light and volumetric smoke. What can scare off more than one is its punitive side: you have little life, and even if the defeat does not send you back to the start of the entire game like its predecessor, it is frustrating to have to restart the current level at because of a simple skip error. The game is clearly intended for die-hard fans of the series or for the curious who did not have the chance to play it on Master System under the initial conditions. However, if you are not afraid of learning the levels by heart, I can only recommend it, at least to enjoy its visual aspect.

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.

You can't oppose Guilty Gear Strive front a technical or artistic standpoint, but the most conservative part of the community might not enjoy its gameplay, more accessible but also less open. Still, Strive is a great entry door to the Guilty Gear saga.

A great launch for a new IP from Bandai Namco. Scarlet Nexus looks good, provides a great story, and the gameplay is even better. Definitively a success.

Dungeons & Dragons Dark Alliance fails to captivate despite its efforts, clogged by too many problems, and the sheer repetitiveness of the game is overwhelming.

The same dark and demanding JRPG it was 16 years ago, Shin Megami Tensei III is still a pretty good first entry for newcomers to the license, despite a lazy remaster.

Grab your brush and enjoy one of the best, colorful and original indie experience of the year. Chicory is an excellent game that will put you in an excellent mood, while fighting its darker themes.

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.

Not THE astounding next-gen hit you might expect - and the gameplay ain't exempt of minor faults here and there -, Ratchet 1 Clank Rift Apart is nonetheless an excellent game and a must have for every PS5 player.

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.

The D20 ruleset is carefully recreated and the DM won't let you stray away from the story, but the studio's name isn't Roleplay Adventures after akk : it really is Tactical Adventures and this D&D RPG knows how to challenge players with its combat first and foremost.

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.

The technical upgrades improving the quality and general feeling of the games are legion, even though the first ME is still suffering from the game design of the era in which it was first released and would definitely have deserved a true remake. Still, the writing quality doesn't age at all and the content at hand is so astonishing that it becomes a true pleasure to get back in the Normandy and discover every secret the Milky Way has to offer.

A bit low on content, hence the price, Hood : Outlaws and Legends is close to be a good game but need further work on IA, matchmaking, friends management... The latest would be very helpful when avoiding players who can't seem to stick to the coop gameplay. Right now, Hood biggest problem lies between the chair and the computer...

It's nice to get back to Subnautica for more narration and survival in this intriguing SF world built by Unknown World. But Below Zero feels like it aimed for more and didn't achieve it. We're left with a nice new story and great environments, but also a bit of frustration.

It’s a great time to be a Resident Evil fan. This Village rounds up everything you expect from the brand, and does it very well too, with a great variety of gameplay, twists and an incredible setting. Survival Horror has never been this satisfying.

A perfect « feel good » game for every pokémon lover out there. New Pokémon Snap has its usual flaws, but this new title brings pokémon to life like no other game.

Not the 80 euros system seller Sony wants it to be, but Returnal is still a great roguelite shooter, original and inventive.

Nothing much new for this 2021 edition of MotoGP, but the simulation builds a bit on the pretty good MotoGP 2020 and keeps up the good work.

If you played NieR, you'll find the game elevated to a new height. If you never played NieR, it's time for you to experience this title every gamer should try.

A great simulation of baseball and mostly of the MLB. From the outstanding sound design, to the announcers or the MLB Network coverage, everything makes you feel that you’re in a ballpark or watching a real MLB game on TV. Next Gen features such as fast loading are a big deal. It makes it even more disappointing that the game only comes in English.

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.

This survival game is far to easy and limited and getting ready for the apocalypse turns into daily chores quite quickly, but it does keep you going for the story.

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.

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

Josef Fares and his team at Hazelight Studios stayed faithful to their vision of a collaborative and sharing gaming experience and It Takes Two is a Tour de Force on this particular aspect. The constant renewal of gameplay is mindblowing and makes for an enriching and playful experience that no one should miss.

Balan Wonderworld offers some good and colorful stories for the younger gamers, but there are too many technical problems and the gameplay is far too rigid and abstruse.

A good progression system and deep tactical combat are Black Legend's greatest strengths, but the rest of the game is more archaic than old school and spoils most of the fun.

This new opus is a great opportunity for everyone who dreamed of trying out the Monster Hunter licence but never dared to do so. Nonetheless Monster Hunter Rise find itself oversimplified because of its new features for most of the saga’s regulars.

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.

Targeting every platform lover out there, Kaze and the Wild Masks’s demanding gameplay might put off some, especially during the second part of the game. But its attractive world, art, and its homage to the classics of the genre make for a fun and colorful adventure.

Existing between Ages of gaming, Bravely Default II is struggling with its penniless look and its repetitive gameplay. Nonetheless it gets better the more time you spend with it, and the game will reward you if you learn how to master it.

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.

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.

Curse of the Dead Gods is a great action roguelite title that let you balance risk with precise control and complex gameplay mechanisms. PassTech Games will need to flesh it out a bit in the coming months though.

Following closely the events from Persona 5, Persona 5 Strikers keeps it charming and stylish while adding a lot of action to a formula that was already perfect. We do lose the social side of Persona 5 though, but combats are intense, technical and quite satisfying.

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.

Bowser's Fury is a BowerStein creature, hybrid, short and chunky, more like a pot-pourri a bit under the usual creative standard from Nintendo. Still, it supports a mutiplayer classic from the Wii U era.

The new coop gameplay in Little Nightmares 2 is really welcomed but still feels inaccurate and frustrating at times. Yet, the general atmosphere is masterful and Mono and Six’s journey on a gloomy and terrifying world feels brilliantly scary.

Some fun but no content, Destruction AllStars is typical of those games getting a precocious release, and who deserve to be played again later on. We'll see if the players give this PS5 exclusive its chance in the long term.

It still feels good to play Nioh again, especially when it is done on its best version ever. The content available on The Nioh Collection is mind blowing. The ability to play the game either in 4K60 or 120hz or even to enjoy PS5 visual upgrades on a regular screen with the PS5 Standard Mode brings a lot of comfort to the players, even though the engine and the level design are somewhat outdated, with aliasing and texture popping everywhere.The lack of loading screens and the use of the Dualsense are also great additions.

Certainly not the biggest RPG out there, Werewolf The Apocalypse Earthblood still manages to keep its gameplay fun and fresh for around 14 hours of bloody action.

Cyber Shadow probably won’t shine as much as Shovel Knight, lacking as it is of a little bit of genius and suffering from some control shortfalls, but it’s still an excellent retro platerformer that’ll teach you the pleasure of pain.

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.

Ambitious, mesmerizing and scary, The Medium's parallel worlds provide a brilliant atmosphere without reaching the full potential of their promises. Its lack of gameplay is balanced by an impressive narration, nonetheless.

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.
