Path of Exile 2, more accessible and visually appealing than its predecessor, remains a complex old-school game that will appeal to fans of muscular combat. This difficulty, which is nevertheless the heart of the game, can however discourage newcomers or people who are not used to taking their heads. It remains ideal for those looking for a long-term experience, it might not suit casual players or fans of simplified mechanics like Diablo 4. Is the €27.75 supporter pack worth it despite the future free game? Yes, because it already offers much more than some recent AA or AAA. In early access, Path of Exile 2 still promises a lot (narration, new classes, end-game content, bug fixes). For an optimal and free experience, you can also wait for the final version. This title, demanding and focused on improvement, is a worthy successor to the first opus, cut out for players ready to take on many challenges. [Early Access Score = 85]

Full of good ideas, this early access card game impresses with the solidity of its game design and the intelligence of its game systems. In short, an excellent draw that deserves the attention of fans of the genre and fans of the studio. [Early Access Score = 85]

Solasta 2 is a role-playing game brimming with promise—potential just waiting to be realized—though bringing it to fruition will require time: both development time and playtime, in the hope of fulfilling the dreams of Dungeons & Dragons and RPG fans alike. More linear than other titles in the genre, it leverages its original setting, its fidelity to D&D, and its tactical combat as its true strengths. Unfortunately, the lack of freedom, the still-limited playtime, and the bugs encountered serve as reminders of its current state: that of an Early Access title. While awaiting the 1.0 release, this title from Tactical Adventures remains a passion project well worth keeping a close eye on. [Early Access Score = 70]

The early access of Grounded is highly recommendable for fans of the genre or even those who would like an entry point into "accessible" survival, who will however have to accommodate for the moment a few bugs and some sketchy narration. [Early Access Score = 75]

Its accessible maneuverability, put at the service of a classic but efficient progression, will seduce the budding pilot left on the sidelines by the advanced simulations. [Early Access Review Score = 75]

While almost everything about Hytale is reminiscent of Minecraft, Hypixel's title manages to generate interest, even in early access. Even better, we had a great time playing it, both in Exploration mode and Creative mode (despite a few issues "beyond our control," as they say). The game, entirely dedicated to its community, has a solid foundation and already has fans working on mods and servers. There's obviously still a long way to go before Hytale reaches its full potential, but it has all the ingredients to become something special. [Early Access Score = 70]

With this early access, Astral Ascent proves that it has the weapons to carve out a place for itself in the competitive roguelite genre. Thanks to its colorful pixel art graphics, detailed animations and polished soundtrack, the Hibernian Workshop title offers pleasant environments to browse. However, the fights are not left out since the game offers nervous gameplay and many build possibilities that make each run interesting. Despite everything, a few slight flaws overshadow the picture, such as problems with readability or even a lack of logical content for early access. It only remains to wait to see if the new elements added over time will allow the title to appeal to players in the long term. [Early Access Score = 75]

Songs of Conquest is as beautiful and bewitching as it suggests, it's a worthy heir to the old Heroes of Might and Magic. It brings significant and welcome improvements to the old formula and will already know how to keep you busy from its early access. A few rebalancing and some improvements in the interfaces, and it could well become a staple of the genre. [Early Access Score = 75]

The FPS, yet using a particularly aging engine, therefore takes all the codes of its ancestors with bravery to allow players to evolve in levels built with intelligence, to participate in joyful and dynamic clashes and to observe sublime panoramas. However, taking the old formula literally, the title is sorely lacking in identity. We will then have to face a universe that we have already crossed 100 times. Unfortunately, this is not the only problem with retro production. The title also suffers from a certain repetition, the fault of a particularly shy bestiary. [Early Access Review = 75]

A bit tight in terms of content on the single-player campaign side (for the moment), the title makes up for it with the possibility of downloading many levels created by a community that already seems very active. [Early Access Review Score = 75]

Offered at 24.99 euros (excluding promotion) in early access, the Avalanche Studios software deserves your full attention. [Early Access Score = 70]

In this first version released in Early Access, inZOI reveals itself to be an ambitious project, rich in innovative ideas and with undeniable potential. The graphics are stunning, and the character creator and the build mode are already very enjoyable to play. However, the game also highlights significant shortcomings, both technically and conceptually. The artificial intelligence lacks substance, and the open world, despite its size, is desperately empty and not very interactive. Social relationships, the pillar of life simulations, suffer from enormous inconsistencies and bugs that mar the experience. We can only believe in the promise of continuous improvements, supported by a detailed roadmap, which suggests a brighter future. In its current state, inZOI is a (very) rough diamond, even an unbaked cake that we can't wait to taste, but much later. [Early Access Score = 65]

Hardspace: Shipbreaker is a bit of a case study in terms of early access. We take pleasure in it for a few hours by discovering its mechanics and its universe. But quickly, we get bored a bit, even if the potential is there. [Early Access score = 70]

Intoxicating and addictive, this Mount & Blade II concocted by TaleWorlds magnifies a concept that has already proven itself. More beautiful, more exciting, more ambitious, this app is a must-have for all action-RPG lovers looking for intense adventures. [Early Access Score = 85]

Quotation forthcoming [Early Access Review]

As it stands, Super Dungeon Maker lays a solid foundation that early access will have to flesh out for the title to reveal its potential. Quite limited at the moment, whether in tutorials or elements and sometimes imprecise in its construction mode, the title of Firechick nevertheless has enough functions to create original and slightly complex dungeons, as evidenced by certain creations of the community which was able to push the game to its limits. It only remains for Super Dungeon Maker to remain attentive to the feedback of its followers, as is already the case today and to take advantage of early access to give substance to its ambitions. For the time being, you will certainly have the feeling of having seen everything in about ten hours, but should have enough fun to make the investment worth it. [Early Access Review Score = 65]

Coming out of almost nowhere, V Rising is definitely a promising title. [Early Access Score = 80]

Disney Dreamlight Valley has a hybrid concept that works well. Couple that with the wonderful world of Disney and you have two very good reasons to immerse yourself in it daily. But the Gameloft title is still under construction and that has something to spoil the experience (bugs, risky optimization, repetitiveness, etc.). The basics are good and promising, but Disney Dreamlight Valley still has work to do to hope to find a place alongside the greatest. On the other hand, it has the potential and its evolution is therefore to be followed. [Early Access Score = 70]

For an Early Access, Temtem offers yet a consequent content. With more than 25 hours of gameplay and a good number of creatures, all in a multiplayer oriented RPG, the game from Crema Games is a success that just need to continue its work. [Early Access Score = 80

While the many technical shortcomings currently affecting Towers of Aghasba make the ride difficult to enjoy, there is no doubt that the game is full of potential in terms of exploration that will flourish further once the Dreamlit studio patches its game properly. Glider jumps, climbing, customizing a world with pretty biomes inspired by Ghibli universes are still too marred for the time being by a series of bugs, interminable loading times (sometimes more than five minutes) and painful slowdowns. [Early Access Score = 60]

If the current version of Manor Lords is still missing many improvements and a whole axis of interaction with the development policy systems, the game already has the capacity to tirelessly occupy you for long hours, and has all the potential for later playing one of the most complete city-builders of his generation. An easily achievable bet thanks to already brilliant experience in its construction, its credibility and its more than flattering aesthetic. [Early Access Score = 80]

If you are not hostile to the principle of early access, sold at a low price, in this case, know that Valheim already offers a very stable and complete experience, which will expand over time and which you can also go through. alone with a generous handful of friends. To be watched over time, therefore. [Early Access Score = 75]
