Ambitious and promising, Dakar Desert Rally is ultimately not the great rally game that we were sold. Even if its open world is pleasant to browse, especially when the navigation aids are deactivated, the game still has problems already present in Dakar 18. We think in particular of the physics not developed, the weakness of the AI, to the indications of the co-pilot which are not connected with what we see on the track, or to the still too numerous bugs. The Saber Porto studio spent more time creating its open world, forgetting the errors of Darak 18.

Reviewing a FIFA game is always a complicated exercise, the game has the habit of changing its gameplay with each new episode. At the time of this test, FIFA 23 gives us an enjoyable gaming experience. The new version of HyperMotion is a hit and this FIFA 23 is one of the best opuses of recent years.

Modern, accessible and well written, Return to Monkey Island is a very good adventure game that will certainly appeal to fans of the genre and which can even, like the first two episodes in their time, effectively initiate novices.

Take a little Animal Crossing, add a pinch of Stardew Valley, mix it all up in a Disney cauldron, and you've got Disney Dreamlight Valley! If the formula gives the impression of having the air of a thoughtful marketing project, the game is actually surprisingly effective and endearing. [Early Access Score = 80]

All the trailers predicted a great Souls-like, lifted by its revolutionary, fantastic, historical and original universe. But Steelrising just misses the point. Some more or less annoying bugs, the incomprehensible absence of French voices (it's a french game), and the fact of leaving after Elden Ring harm a game that deserved to be a little more polished and ambitious.

Did you like Splatoon? Did you enjoy Splatoon 2? And what about Splatoon 2 : Octo Expansion? Did you like it ? Then you'll love Splatoon 3! True to itself, the game does not really seek to convince a new audience, and is careful not to offend the regulars. Yes, despite the arrival of several small new features (weapons, maps, replays, Map mode and territories, etc.) Splatoon 3 clearly relies on its achievements.

Remake or remaster? Since its announcement last June, the name for the redesign of The Last of Part 1 has been debated among players and even internally between Sony Interactive Entertainment and Naughty Dog. At Jeuxactu, we defend the fact that it is indeed a remake, certainly not as complete as some titles can be that are reworked 20/30 years later, but there are enough visual changes to use the correct term. Too bad that Sony Interactive Entertainment (finally Jim Ryan especially) makes players pay a high price. Because hey, 80€, it's just abused.

Saints Row could have been the reboot of renewal or that of consecration, but it will ultimately be that of semi-disappointment. Open world too classic, band of anti-heroes without real charisma, questionable artistic direction and lot of glitches spoil the gaming experience.

With its sexy heroine, its naughty fights and its graphics which constantly seek to impress, Bright Memory Infinite has everything of the little guilty pleasure. But some players will feel disappointed because the game is too short and the story is anecdotal.

Four years after the PS4 version, Spider-Man Remastered is still fun to play on PC. Graphically, the game is still nice and the game is a real living advertisement for raytracing. So if you ever missed this game on PlayStation, you no longer have any reason to deprive yourself.

With its approach for all audiences thanks to its permanent humor, its cartoon graphics and its intuitive interface, Two Point Campus is full of qualities, is rich in content and will also suit demanding players. Therefore, it is suitable for both beginners and fans of the genre.

With such an imbalanced gameplay/narrative ratio, South of the Circle clearly won't appeal to everyone. The few gameplay mechanics are really anecdotal, so much so that even the choice system does not lead to different ends as tradition dictates. It is imperative to approach this production from the angle of the essentially narrative adventure, or even squarely to place oneself in the spirit "I am watching a nice animated film of 3h30".

28 years has been necessary for Live a Live to finally be released in Europe. Fortunately, our patience is rewarded by the quality of this successful remake. If you were looking for a good little old-school RPG to keep you busy for twenty hours this summer, you've found it.

Yes, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 would have been better if it had been released on a console other than the Switch. Yes, it should have certainly offered a little less game mechanics in order to become more accessible. Yes, a less overloaded interface would have allowed it to gain in readability. Despite this, it remains the best J-RPG of this summer and a game that should not be missed.

Charming, Stray comes to remind us that a little well-crafted indie game is sometimes better than a big AAA game. Especially when the title in question offers us to embody a tomcat immersed in a universe that is both post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk and populated by friendly androids.

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.

We were expecting a pure and hard tennis simulation, but Matchpoint Tennis Championships is really just an arcade game that doesn't even measure up to the first Virtua Tennis. The gameplay is poor and limited, the game is visually ugly, and the online mode often drags. A pure disaster.

Mario Strikers Battle League Football does not disappoint in its gameplay. The controls seem basic but they are extremely deep in reality. But the game has serious problems which are its lack of content and a big concern for clarity on the ground. Online gaming has also been botched.

Taking inspiration from Konami's Turtles in Time as a reference, Tribute Games and DotEmu had little chance of missing their game. A true cry of love to a cult Super Nintendo game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is this little sweet candy that we keep in the mouth as long as possible to suck all the flavors.

The Quarry fulfills two specifications perfectly: that of horror films and that of interactive films. You can therefore count on teenage characters as prey, scary sequences, a good dose of gore, many choices, multiple endings, and graphics that approach photorealism.

Silt is fun to play and features a very attractive monochrome art direction, as well as a deliciously dark atmosphere. Everything would be perfect if Journey, Limbo, Inside, Abzû or Little Nightmares hadn't already been there. The title of Spiral Circus was certainly made with passion, but it does not manage to stand out enough from its models.

Faithful to the series, in its qualities as in its defaults, this new episode of Sniper Elite 5 hardly surprises. The faithful who were waiting for the full of innovations or a huge technical leap will therefore be at their expense. But this status quo also has its advantages. It is the guarantee of highly pleasing kill cams, an open and proven level design, numerous infiltration mechanics and, above all, fun and realistic sniping gameplay.

Often mocked for its games with recycled gameplay, Ubisoft offers us something original with Roller Champions. The rules of this fictional sport hold up perfectly, and so do the execution, gameplay, and accessibility. So we're having a really good time online. On the other hand, the content is weak for the moment, it is its main fault.

If the fact of constantly replaying the same type of online games in order to progress your characters does not scare you, then Evil Dead The Game will not disappoint you. The gameplay is solid, the references to the films of the saga are numerous, the graphics have nothing to be ashamed of, the demonic creatures and the soundtrack are very creepy, and the knockouts bring a good dose of gore.

If Swansong is at the same time an adventure game, an investigation game and an infiltration game, it is above all a real RPG, which manages to perfectly capture the essence of Vampire The Masquerade.

More a party game than a real sports game, Nintendo Switch Sports naturally follows in the footsteps of Wii Sports and Wii Sports Club. And it's true that we have fun, as long as we have a few friends at hand and a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. These two conditions are indeed necessary to have fun over the long term, because the absence of any scripted mode means that solo play has almost no interest.

There's Ghost of Tsushima, Sifu and Limbo in this Trek to Yomi! And yet the proposal remains quite singular. The voices only available in Japanese, the graphics entirely in black and white, and the cinematographic filters which voluntarily dirty the image form a coherent whole, which will inevitably appeal to fans of old samurai films. The game lacks a bit of scale, but we still have a great time in his company.

Postal 4 is like the logo of Running with Scissors: a dirty kid running with scissors who takes the risk of hurting himself with them. And the game actually crashes, due to its dubious humor and a rather deplorable technical record.
