    No need to debate further, this Asterix & Obelix Baffez les Tous 2 does not keep its promises. The marketing announced to us a “bigger better stronger” sequel when it is the opposite that we are receiving, namely the first episode much worse. Not only has the element of surprise disappeared, but nothing has changed or evolved. We therefore have the impression of playing the same game as in 2021 with many elements that have been removed.

    Reservoir Dogs Bloody Days is a nice indie game with its loveable side and flaws. The rewind system is a good idea and makes it a very good tactical game, but it breaks the rhythm of the pure fight. A Hotline Miami look-alike but not a play-alike.

    One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 still offers vast content and loads of fan-service, but overall it feels too similar to the previous games, and suffers from sub-par graphics and technical problems.

    Rune Factory surely has some qualities with its long game experience and its colorful and aquatic universe that players will enjoy crossing thanks to the introduction of the Golem. However, the ones that usely play the IP to satisfy their farmer spirit, will be disappointed to see that all the hard work has been given to the mobs, the players' role consisting in checking if they have enough cookies to eat. Hopefully, fight sequences remain entertaining, yet repetitive.

    Overall, GRID : Autosport ain't a bad game, but it sticks to recycling the gameplay of Racedriver GRID and the graphics of GRID 2. The content is scarce at start and the AI is an example of what not to do. All this was expected as the game spent less than a year in development, but still, selling a stand alone DLC for the price of a full game is a but daring. The loss of customisation for cars is a major down from previous episodes. Overall the game still proves worthy but it surely wont seduce much besides the ip's fanboys. The best way is still to get GRID 1 & 2 during some sale.

    With As Dusk Falls, a new step is taken in the transformation of classic adventure games into "narrative experiences" intended for a general audience. The INTERIOR/NIGHT studio even pushes the cursor to reach the status of interactive photo-novel, due to a singular artistic direction, based essentially on still images.

    It's no a surprise, after a successful Just Dance 2016 at all levels, Ubisoft fails with this Just Dance 2017 which is lack of new features. Worse, the playlist and the choreographies are really disappointing. Too serious, not enough fun.

    Onrush is a true mix of all the arcade racing offer with well-crafted game modes and a fast paced rhythm. Codemaster's games is far from perfect with an overflow of visual effects that makes it hard to see while most of the races are truly repetitive. Overall, the game clearly isn't worth the 70€ asked for it.

    Fortnite feels a lot like Dungeon Keeper. It's a worthy game with interesting gameplay, and where everything is ruined by greedy monetization. The ripoff is less obvious than in EA's game but it's still a pain. We suggest waiting until 2018 when the game will be truly free-to-play.

    Even if Serious Sam 4 feels truly dated, with visuals that will bring you back a few years, the game is still a blast to play, with thousands of foes ant the same time, and a very good gameplay that mixes fast-FPS with beat'em all. Just wait a bit until all the bugs are ironed out.

    WWE 2K16 fixes some problems inherited from the last episode of the series, especially in terms of content. But it keeps trailing certain issues that makes it unworthy of our expectations, unworthy of the platforms it runs on.

    Sadly Twin Mirror gives us the feeling that Dontnod has a shortage of ideas, as the game feels like another iteration on Life is Strange's concept. The narrative isn't special anymore, the few dialogue options are way too shallow, and the few puzzles can't make up for the lot. It's not a bad game overall, but it feels like the Xerox machine has done most of the work.

    Déraciné isn't really a true VR title as the VR doesn't bring much to the experience. Still it's an enjoyable ride as From Software has loads of know-how in terms of narrative and artistic direction.

    Final Fantasy Explorers could have been a nice mix between MMORPG and JRPG. But first of all, it's not worthy the 3DS from a technical point of view. The game is also too easy, too repetitive and lacks some strategical ingredients to be really playable on a long-term basis.

    Let's be realistic: Spiders ain't Bioware and Bound By Flame is not Dragon Age. But the french studio tries it's hardest and gives us a quite hard RPG, far from the mainstream easiness of games. Each fight is an adventure, you better be a fan of Dark Souls than Super Mario RPG to enjoy that game. Anyway, you will have to close your eyes on some real flaws (weird level design, poor AI, boring script..) Happily, Bound By Flame is coming at a time where RPG are quite rare. If Spider's game won't replace Dragon Age Inquisition or Risen 3, it can be a way to wait until those latest editions come out.

    Canceled, postponed, stunned by the COVID crisis, then paralyzed by the war in Ukraine, STALKER 2 is, we can say, a miracle. However, despite this good news, and like all these Arlesiennes who arrive in pain after so many years, there are inevitably cracks, even fractures. And a few minutes are enough to see the handicaps that are dragging the GSC Game World title down. Technically first of all, STALKER 2 is lagging behind, with a 3D engine completely overtaken by events. Everything seems frozen, as if we were finding the STALKER of the 2007s, whether in its still life, its static NPCs or its creatures animated with a trowel. The artificial intelligence of the enemies is unfortunately not spared by a lack of know-how, with soldiers who are able to spot us from miles around at the slightest crack of a branch, but are unable to move properly. The open world is certainly gigantic and makes us experience the life of a true survivalist in wartime on a minefield of anomalies as painful as they are invisible, but the progression is marred by a slow, painful and above all unexciting pace. We tried to cling to this story of supernatural elements and a Skif at bay, but the countless bugs and the game system stiffened by this rigid handling and this mediocre interface will have finished off the little enthusiasm we had left. That said, if you are patient, conciliatory with a game whose development was not helped by extraordinary circumstances, and above all totally addicted to the great atomic-Soviet thrill, you might enjoy traveling in the shadow of Chernobyl…

    Homefront: The Revolution has everything a modern shooter needs : open-world game, loot system, crafting system… All these things will allow you to spend a good time but there are too many technical issues. Just wait for some patches.

    Space Hulk: Deathwing is a pure merch product. The fans of Game Workshop's IP will like it for the universe, but the more mainstream gamer will just find a poorly made FPS.

    This reboot of Shadow of the Beast is an honest game which sticks to the recipe that made its original success, but it could have been better with an improved level design, better enigmas and more intrictate patterns fro the bosses.

    Fantasia: Music Evolved is an unusual concept. It brings some new air to the musical games' family as it allows you to become a conductor. Unfortunately, Kinect suffers from an unwelcome latency and the tracklist is quite irrelevant.

    Dakar 18 is a game that accurately depicts rallye-raid and it's focus on navigation rather than speed. It's highly recommended for fans of this genre of race, but feels incredibly tedious for regular gamers. moreover, the game lacks polish and has bugs in abundance. Proceed with caution.

    WWE 2K19 still offers incredible content that will hook up any wrestling fan, but sadly, quantity prevails over quality, and the technical side of things and rigid gameplay are enough to repel any gamer that's not fond of the WWE.

    Wii Party U is far from a masterpiece, but you can be sure you'll have fun with it. It's not perfect, some games are boring, there is several problems with balance and with motion recognition, but it should help you to wait till the release of an all-new Mario Party.

    ARK Survival Evolved has the potential to be a very good survival game, but it's quality core is covered by layers of bugs, optimization problems, toxic community and a dev team that's borderline crook.

    Even if Atomega offers a good gameplay and an interesting concept, it suffers from a serious lack of content. Only one map and one game mode is not enough, and ot makes all the games look alike.

    Expectations were sky-high for Silent Hill f, a true new entry in a series that’s been dormant far too long. Konami trusted Taiwanese studio Neobards Entertainment, and the result is stunning visually and technically, with bold choices like 1960s Japan and more action. The writing is subtle and sharp, making the game feel unique and ambitious. But the gameplay lets it down. It’s clunky, slow, and frustrating, with too many tedious fights, a poorly designed stamina system, and puzzles that feel overcomplicated. The potential is huge, yet the execution keeps you from fully enjoying it. In the end, it’s a polarizing game: impressive and daring in style, but clumsy to play. One step forward, two steps back. Silent Hill deserves better than a beautiful shell hiding rusty mechanics.

    Earth Defense Force 4.1 is a light remaster of Earth Defence Force 2025, if you've played the original one, it has no interest, if you've willing to discover the series it's a nice game albeit the dated technical side can be harsh to cope with.

    Naruto Powerful Shippuden isn't really the kind of game you play when you're older than 14. But IntiCreates managed to give it some qualities: simple and efficient gameplay, a flexible XP system and a great amount of missions. Unfortunately, the graphics are too poor to make the point and you'll need a very special sense of humour to not skip the narrative part of the game.

    World War Z is a worthy TPS which feels quite good with brainless shooting and hordes of zombies, but the overall content is far too slim, and the gameplay far too repetitive to score a hit in our hearts. Consider playing it with friends, or pick it up at a sale.

    This new Fatal Frame gets the atmosphere right, makes the player uneasy. That's a pretty good point to start with for a horror game. But once you're in control, it becomes awful to play and offers no perspective of new challenge to force the player to go forward.
