Requiem is a pivotal work that manages to reconcile two long-standing, contrasting visions of the saga. Tension and Action. It takes the best of what Resident Evil has to offer and elevates it to a level of polish rarely seen. Though the alternating structure between Grace and Leon locks the pace and limits the kind of replay freedom found in some earlier entries. Yet, in the face of such mastery, this compromise feels almost negligible.

One of the most accomplished games of its kind, and undoubtedly one of the big names of the year.

A skillful blend of gameplay and compelling storytelling make for an adventure/puzzle game that's not to be missed.

Visceral, disturbing, empathetic... These are the words you'll keep in mind after this grandiose and personal adventure.

Will these "hardcore Final Fantasy's" fans be satisfied? Yes. With a gargantuan list of titles, a plethora of collectibles and characters to evolve, this new opus will keep you busy for (many) hours. We regret that some titles are only simple extracts of a longer tune and the season pass way too important to be put aside - therefore increasing the "real" price of the title -. Still we have to admit that the formula is ultra efficient if, and only if, you are a Square Enix fan.

Battlefield 6 is everything we expected from a true next-gen BF: solid tech, rocking and solid gameplay, an old-school feeling with a modern touch that matches with BF's DNA. Battlefield 6 ticks all that boxes.

Capcom has succeeded in delivering the Resident Evil 4 version that all fans have been dreaming of. This remake is both an impressive technical achievement, an intelligent reinvention of its own gameplay, and a reinterpretation of a storyline that improves in maturity, even if the game is sometimes a little bit too faithful to the original work.

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.

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.

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.

Infinite Wealth is to Like in Dragon what Tears of the Kingdom is to Breath of the Wild: bigger, better, richer and more intense.The magnificent picture is marred by a technique that sometimes falls short of current expectations, by a few repetitions at times, and above all by the publisher's simply outrageous choice of content for the Deluxe Edition.

With a classic but captivating story, endearing characters, flawless staging, and genuine replayability, Dispatch easily stands out as one of the must-haves of the year.

Every second spent on the game testifies to the enormous skill of the developers and the love they have for the PlayStation universe. A highly enjoyable adventure from start to finish.

The expectations were huge, but Kratos' shoulders are wide and even though the automatized actions are regrettable and offering more freedom to the player would benefit the game overall.

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

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.

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.

We're totally on board with what DontNod has to offer, with this torn couple, this duality of gameplay and this dangerous world, but one whose every corner we want to explore. There's not much to criticize about this new production, which has so much to offer.

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.

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.

The carefully crafted art direction, appealing cell-shading, and immersive soundtrack enhance the experience, while the survival elements and the management of stamina, weather, and time add a strategic and authentic layer. A demanding challenge for the most seasoned players, yet made accessible thanks to the assistance options.

Mastery and good ideas lead to excellence for Cocoon.

Firaxis gathered its courage to rethink a license which, more than ever, was in need not of novelty but of a new, solid foundation.

The flaws don't take anything away from the fun the game provides, and if you want a SF adventure...nope, multiple epic sci-fi adventures, take off for the stars right away.

2D Mario at its best, a pleasant and almost perfectly designed platform experience, full of ideas and tricks. All that's missing is a little difficulty to reach greater heights.

Ghost of Yōtei makes returning to Sucker Punch’s Japan a thrill, delivering a memorable ride. Atsu’s journey may start from a familiar revenge tale, but it constantly finds ways to surprise. Brutal, visceral, and impossible to ignore, it’s one of the PlayStation 5’s standout experiences. A must-play for fans, though some may feel a little déjà vu creeping in.

Dave the Diver is an extremely generous game that hooks you with all its gifts you can't refuse.

It has it all: it's beautiful, captivating, exhilarating, addictive, and fun. The only flaw in this title could be its lifespan, or the fact that the challenge isn't quite enough for the most determined players. But aren't we always wanting more?

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.

"My first JRPG", with great sagacity and a charm that still stands out, but now weighed down by the years - and by mechanics that seemed easy to correct.
