Brilliant, irreverent, and visually stunning, Mixtape is a sensory masterpiece—an absolute must-play for anyone who has ever been 17 and felt the urge to remake the world with headphones on. Beethoven & Dinosaur demonstrates boundless creativity in bringing this musical journey to life, led by an utterly endearing trio. A pantheon-worthy entry in narrative gaming that strikes right at the heart.

Saros is not merely a successor to Returnal; it is its raw evolution. By placing projectile absorption at the very heart of the game, Housemarque delivers a visceral shooter where aggression is rewarded. While the roguelite elements occasionally lack variety—and a touch of wildness—in their arsenal, the utilization of the PS5’s DualSense controller offers an unparalleled dopamine hit. More accessible yet still demanding, it is an unmissable gem for fans of the genre—a shooter without equal.

Ultimately, Pragmata is a title that still bears the scars of a complex development process—one that forced the teams to make difficult choices, particularly regarding its structure. To avoid compromising the core experience, it feels as though Capcom opted to keep things simple—a choice that is often the most sensible one. While perhaps unsurprising in this regard, Pragmata more than makes up for it with its gameplay—which is exhilarating from start to finish and constantly refreshed by regular new additions—as well as through the story it weaves around its two central characters and their intertwined destinies. Dense, spectacular, and deeply moving, Pragmata stands as the perfect example of the kind of tightly focused game we wish we encountered more often—a stark contrast to other titles that aim for sheer excess. Short yet intense, Pragmata serves as yet another testament to Capcom’s mastery in delivering finely tuned productions that send shivers down your spine.

It is difficult to write a comprehensive review when the game’s greatest strengths revolve around surprise. Yet with *Super Mario Bros. Wonder*, Nintendo delivers a near-perfect performance. Nearly fifteen years after New Super Mario Bros. Wii, this new installment sees the 2D platforming series return to a level of true excellence. While remaining faithful to its roots—preserving its devilishly simple yet effective gameplay—it introduces fresh ideas that hit the mark perfectly. The entire presentation evokes a musical, constantly dazzling the player in both form and substance. Mario has truly ventured into a wonderland—and we have gone right along with him.

It is impossible to fault Crimson Desert for the sheer generosity it displays. Yet, by pushing this dial too far, Pearl Abyss finds itself ensnared by its own ambitions. The result is a stark disconnect between the technical and immersive qualities of its world and the actual content within it. The storyline leaves one feeling almost entirely indifferent; quests follow one another, largely indistinguishable in their structure; and boss battles—at times approachable, at others absurdly difficult—often force us to repeat the same routine ad nauseam. Fortunately, the gameplay—despite its minor flaws—constantly evolves, infusing the adventure with a cathartic, stress-relieving energy—something absolutely essential to help digest the puzzles devised by the development team. Inconsistent—much like the rest of the game—these puzzles nevertheless have the merit of bringing players together and fostering a genuine sense of community engagement. Add to this an astronomical amount of content—enough to make any completionist’s eyes light up—and you end up with a title that will keep your mind occupied for hundreds of hours. Yes, the journey is enjoyable, exotic, and even stimulating from time to time; yet, Crimson Desert ultimately lacked the structural fortitude to support the lofty pedestal upon which it was placed.

Marathon is a radical proposition (you either love it or hate it), and if you have nothing against its unforgiving PvP and art direction, then I highly recommend it. The art direction, the atmosphere, the demanding nature of the game captivated me. I was completely absorbed on the planet Tau Ceti IV, displaying heightened vigilance against other Runners, fascinated by the universe Bungie has created. The creators of Halo and Destiny have put their FPS expertise to work in service of an excellent extraction shooter.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection shows us that the spin-off series has truly come into its own, as the adventure proves remarkably solid, fully embracing the strategic identity of the spin-off series. Behind an initial approach that can be a little disorienting, its combat system and the management of Monsties reveal a thrilling depth, driven by an optimization logic faithful to the Monster Hunter DNA. It's not all perfect—some areas lack balance, the side quests remain quite conventional, and the plot sometimes struggles to maintain momentum—but the essential element lies elsewhere. With this third installment, the Stories formula matures and offers a dense, demanding, and surprisingly engaging adventure, provided you're willing to play by its rules.

The Pokémon Company may have arrived after the peak of popularity for life simulations like Animal Crossing and Minecraft-like games, but that doesn't stop them from delivering a near-flawless, cozy experience, driven by Omega Force's expertise. Ingenious, rich, touching, funny, addictive, and, above all, respectful of the saga, Pokopia is the Pokémon video game the Nintendo Switch 2 needed, and it couldn't have dreamed of a better production.

With Requiem, the grand finale is complete: Capcom unites all fans of its saga in a bloody communion, whether they prefer first-person horror or over-the-shoulder action. Capitalizing on fan service, this Resident Evil resurrects the dead as much as memories, but could it have been otherwise with Leon confronted by his eternal demons? Admittedly, Requiem rehashes old ideas, but it brilliantly succeeds in its gamble of delivering two games in one, even if the story is once again a flimsy excuse for all sorts of extravagances. Beautiful, generous, well-paced, comprehensive, and designed to satisfy longtime fans, Resident Evil Requiem is devoured like a rich, over-the-top compilation with extra ketchup.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties could well be a model for all remakes. Imperfect in many respects, particularly technical ones, it distinguishes itself through its commitment to enriching its narrative and gameplay experience, and its wealth of additional content. It's undeniable that SEGA and the Ryu Ga Gotoku studio rolled up their sleeves to offer players the best and most comprehensive experience possible. However, this third installment in Kazuma Kiryu's adventures fails to overcome a narrative that overshadows the gameplay and to break free from the limitations of the aging Dragon Engine.

Ultimately, Mario Tennis Fever is a mixed bag. It's a technological showcase for the Switch 2, driven by an excellent soundtrack, and provides immediate fun in multiplayer. It's enjoyable, the execution is impressive, but it still lacks the spark of the GBA games and the depth of Tennis Aces. The experience leaves you with the strange feeling of having witnessed a spectacular fireworks display at a party with friends. It's beautiful, it's intense for a fleeting moment. But the flame isn't strong enough to convince you to go to the show alone.

Already very enthusiastic during my first preview of the game, I've fallen completely in love with Mewgenics. Edmund McMillen's new project (developed with Tyler Glaiel) embodies everything I've been hoping for in the roguelite genre, and even more so in the tactical RPG genre: colossal content, a combat system of unparalleled depth, and above all, a sense of discovery that never fades. On top of all that, the game is an exceptional generator of stories that can appeal to both seasoned gamers and newcomers alike. Of course, you have to appreciate the creator's distinctive art style and not be afraid of game overs. But if that excites you more than it intimidates you, then you'll be diving into one of the best games of the year. Already.

Nioh 3 is a masterpiece! A super complete action RPG, more accessible than the previous installments, with excellent replayability and, above all, an absolutely brilliant combat system. The samurai and ninja modes, the culmination of Team Ninja's expertise, blend together perfectly and form the foundation of a generous and addictive experience. The open areas are always designed to facilitate progression, and the co-op mode is the perfect finishing touch. A must-play for fans of the genre.

With Reimagined, forget the laborious epic of the original Dragon Quest VII on PS1. More beautiful than ever with its unique aesthetic, the game offers a much more enjoyable, condensed adventure thanks to its numerous accessibility and difficulty options. In this customizable experience, combat gains depth through the richness of dual vocations, allowing for combinations that are as improbable as they are powerful. However, in addition to some flaws from the original game that are still present, this modernized version sometimes pushes the accessibility features too far, making the adventure too easy at times. But make no mistake: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined elevates a great RPG to new heights and will be a landmark title in the category of ambitious remakes.

Cairn is a test of faith earned through sheer grit and determination. The Game Bakers delivers a captivatingly vertical experience, as physically demanding as it is emotionally profound. You emerge breathless, but your perspective forever altered by the immensity of Mount Kami. A relentless, visceral, and transcendent climb that proves that to touch the heavens, you must first be willing to be broken against the rocks. A true masterpiece of the genre.

Before calling it a masterpiece (the real challenge will be Rebirth), we can certainly acknowledge the remarkable achievement of Square Enix and Naoki Hamaguchi's team. Yes, storage space and the Game Key Card format might be an issue for some, but that shouldn't distract us from the final result: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade fits on the Nintendo Switch 2 and looks fantastic (if you don't scrutinize it too closely)! For the publisher, it's a successful gamble: the game is visually stunning (overall), it made compromises where necessary without compromising the experience, and, above all, it delivers the same feel and enjoyment as the original release. If you've never played it, there's no excuse now, as it's a must-have for the Nintendo Switch 2 library.

Returning to Animal Crossing on the Switch 2 is like rekindling a flame we thought had gone out. The archipelago has never been so resplendent, enhanced by 4K graphics that make every corner irresistible, despite the controls stubbornly clinging to their old ways. But no matter: between the vibrant atmosphere of the Admiral Hotel and the complete freedom of the Dream Islands mode, which arrives at just the right time, this version offers the breath of fresh air needed to break the routine. We're simply happy to have found such a wonderful reason to return. While this version isn't strictly essential, once you've tried it, it's hard to go back.

Upon its 1.0 release, Arknights Endfield already offers a solid foundation to compete alongside open-world gacha giants like Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves. With its sleek industrial aesthetic, dynamic tactical combat, and original factory system, Gryphline's title has a strong enough identity to stand out. However, you'll need some patience to fully appreciate the game's potential due to its technical jargon, numerous tutorials, and sometimes overwhelming menus. Of course, gacha games are ultimately judged in the long run, but at launch, Arknights Endfield offers a high-quality experience with enough content to be worth your time if you're willing to invest in it. The question remains whether Gryphline will succeed in building on this promising start with future updates.

Ultimately, Mio: Memories in Orbit is a refreshing experience that proves there's still room for gentleness in a genre often saturated with violence. While the game loses some momentum towards the end due to a lack of content, it compensates with its lightheartedness and artistic direction. It's a bright and cheerful alternative to the harshness of Silksong, offering an enchanting interlude for all platformer fans who prefer poetry to frenetic action, both in substance and style.

Two years after the release of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, the "Among the Ashes" expansion successfully meets its challenge: to revitalize Ubisoft's video game in the best possible way, while simultaneously complementing the film's release with a parallel storyline that is meaningful and entertaining, even if it doesn't quite transcend expectations. Far from completely reinventing the wheel or transforming the experience from A to Z, the improvements and adjustments that Massive Entertainment has implemented are enough to make the gameplay vibrant and enjoyable. Beneath the ashes of the Mangkwans, a fire still burns, rekindling the flame of Frontiers of Pandora, and that's exactly what this title deserved.

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond clearly follows in the footsteps of the original trilogy: a solid, immersive adventure, driven by a strong atmosphere, more interesting combat than expected, and truly memorable bosses. It could be criticized for its somewhat predictable exploration, a very linear structure, and a few underutilized powers, but the gameplay loop remains enjoyable once it gets going. On the Switch 2, the game serves as a true technical showcase, with convincing display modes and a wide range of control options, including a surprisingly successful mouse mode. Without revolutionizing the formula or the genre, Metroid Prime 4 Beyond reminds us why 3D Metroid remains unique and stands out as one of the most important titles in Nintendo's 2025 catalog, if not the most important. That is, provided you accept that it prioritizes mastery over risk-taking.

A year after Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Black Ops 7 doesn't try to reinvent the wheel: it essentially builds its offering on the innovations of its predecessor, but it does it well, even very well. The wall jump is perfectly integrated and complements the gameplay, whose frenetic pace remains as exhilarating as ever. The cooperative campaign, for its part, fully delivers on its promise. For the rest, everything isn't perfect, and there's a lingering sense of recycling, even of incompleteness in some cases. This was undoubtedly the price to pay for bringing such generous content to life. A very solid game, but one that doesn't quite reach the pinnacle.

Anno 117 Pax Romana is superb, well-balanced, and rich in options. While the campaign is rather disappointing, its management mechanics are well-oiled, and building beautiful, balanced cities is a pleasure. But once the comfortable routine of a functional city is established, interest wanes due to a real pacing problem. Salvation comes from the ability to manage both provinces simultaneously, which greatly revives interest. If you enjoy building slowly, deliberating, and admiring your Roman cities, you'll be in your element. Others are likely to give up before achieving Roman glory.

Two feelings arose upon releasing Football Manager 26. Like many, there was disappointment at not getting the expected knockout punch after a two-year hiatus and a major overhaul primarily by Sports Interactive. This was due to an interface designed to appeal to everyone (newcomers, experienced players, console and PC gamers) that risked not fully satisfying anyone, a lack of varied modes, and above all: too many bugs at launch! However, it's important to take a step back and see that the game remains incredibly deep in its management of a club, a manager's career, and player development. All of this is boosted by the new Unity engine in matches, the inclusion of women's football, and tactical progression before and during games. And for those seeking total immersion with all the licenses, authentic logos, and player photos, the passionate FM community will always be there to mod the game on PC while waiting for the licensed 2026 World Cup and updates from the British studio.

Retro-futuristic in its art direction, The Outer Worlds 2 is more retro than futuristic in its approach to the RPG genre. While it boasts a host of accessibility options and incredibly responsive controls, this Microsoft-published title is primarily aimed at Obsidian fans who see certain aging RPG mechanics as a strength rather than a weakness. That said, the numerous improvements over the first installment, along with the choices that have real consequences, make it a shame to miss out on this excellent sci-fi epic with its unique tone, whether you're a fan of the young franchise or not.

ARC Raiders is virtually flawless. It's hard to expect more from an extraction shooter, but it has everything: excellent PvE driven by simply superb AI; plenty of plot twists with just the right number of players; vast maps brimming with secrets; solid gameplay that knows exactly what it's doing; and a long, gradual progression culminating in massive machines to be fought. In short, you get the idea. It's a must-try.

The Seal Chronicles doesn't reinvent the legend, it beefs it up with clear, straightforward battles. The narrative is understated, revelations few and far between, but the gameplay loop is captivating: whispers encourage variety, sonic artifacts smooth the rhythm, synchronized duos add flair, and co-op allows two players to fully enjoy it. It's a simple entry point into action-oriented gameplay. More demanding players will find plenty to enjoy thanks to its addictive loop, but will likely lament the lack of depth in the combat, especially in one-on-one fights. The Seal Chronicles oozes Zelda, even without Nintendo's involvement in development, and remains entertaining from beginning to end. This makes the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive a must-have for the console.

With Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, Square Enix didn't simply reapply the formula of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. On the contrary, the Japanese publisher went even further. Thanks to a more developed and modernized narrative, these three foundational games that form the Roto trilogy become a truly epic family saga spanning several generations. The gameplay is also enhanced, benefiting from abilities from later games, the ingenious scroll system, and, above all, quality-of-life options that make the experience much more comfortable. The result is captivating adventures that are hard to put down thanks to their simplicity, efficiency, and tenderness—qualities that are definitively the hallmarks of Dragon Quest.

Brutal yet technical, Ninja Gaiden 4 ticks the boxes of what we'd expect from a good 3D beat 'em up like a ninja stringing life beads from the Gods. Driven almost exclusively by its rich combat gameplay, the baby of the Team Ninja/PlatinumGames couple delivers the essentials without being as sharp as we would have liked. The environments lack soul in addition to being repetitive, progression is marred by a flashback that makes us repeat the same levels/bosses, the weapons are few and far between, and various choices are questionable. Sometimes "wow", sometimes "meh", Ninja Gaiden 4 suffers from an irregularity that could be scorned by shinobi masters. Nevertheless, the heart of the game - the action - beats so strongly that we willingly return to it to lose our heads... by splitting those of others.

Pokémon Legends Z-A isn't the game that was hoped for. It innovates in terms of combat, but remains too timid when it comes to exploration. Its universe, focused on the city of Illumis, limits the desire for adventure, even if its combat system finally paves the way for a new generation of Pokémon gameplay. Trainers looking for a breath of fresh air will find it a solid and enjoyable title. Pokémon Legends Z-A releases on October 16th on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and should appeal to those who want to test their trainer's reflexes in a brand new arena. And those who still love the franchise's evolutions and captures.

Battlefield 6 truly marks a strong comeback for the series. It's an episode that's certainly nostalgic in its approach but which refines its formula in a rather impressive way, notably thanks to gameplay and graphics that are simply marvelous (especially in multiplayer). Playing this opus proved to be a gripping and addictive experience, even if we were a little disappointed by the single player. To be honest, after this test, we can't wait to return to the battlefield. And that says it all, right?

Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 remain absolute benchmarks for the 3D platform. Their return to Switch and Switch 2 is the best opportunity to discover or rediscover them in modernized conditions. However, it's important to keep in mind that this is an improved port, not a complete overhaul. The visual improvements, optimized cursor, and portable comfort bring real benefits, but don't revolutionize the experience. For new players, it's a must-have. For former Wii owners, the decision will depend on their desire to rediscover these masterpieces in a slightly more enjoyable version. They still arrive at the right time after a strangely weak year, without a truly original Mario game for the new console and the plumber's 40th anniversary. With these Super Mario Galaxy games, we've simply started dreaming about the future of the series again. Which is already, in my opinion, quite a feat.

Hades II succeeds in this crazy gamble of respecting the essence of its predecessor while adding layers: enriched gameplay, deeper narrative, reinforced artistic direction, grandiose soundtrack. That said, the game does not completely transcend repetitiveness—cycle after cycle, run after run, we end up recognizing the same biomes, the same room constructions, the same visual motifs—which can limit the wonder after long sessions. If you accept this condition—that repetition is part of the journey—then you will live an adventure blessed by the Gods.

While Ghost of Yotei isn't the great game it appears to be in its first few hours, it's an excellent action-adventure game that marks a nice evolution from Ghost of Tsushima. Here, Sucker Punch studio takes a nice - even a very nice - step forward in terms of open world, notably thanks to a central play area that offers sumptuous panoramas and an impressive draw distance, and a constant generosity in terms of secondary activities. Even after 50 hours, we were still surprised by unexpected encounters and events, giving the feeling of evolving in an organic, living world. A sure bet on PS5.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is an exceptional video game, but it's not a video game for everyone. It belongs to the niche of turn-based tactical RPGs and is much more demanding than Fire Emblem, for example. The fact remains that almost 30 years later, it remains a must-have for the quality of its writing, especially since it finally benefits from an impeccable French translation and a high-quality dubbing cast. In addition, players willing to invest their time will discover, piece by piece, an excellent combat system that reveals its richness at every moment of the adventure. With Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, we just want Square Enix to revive this series of exceptional games.

Silent Hill f is first and foremost a bold gamble, a reinvention that ventures into uncharted territory. It creates a persistent strangeness, deeply imbued with Japanese folklore, that is as disconcerting as it is captivating. Its clumsy combat and excessive action weigh down the experience, but its universe, its characters, and its soundscape impose a unique identity, which pushes us to scratch away its layers of mystery until the last minute. Imperfect but striking, Silent Hill f will undoubtedly remain as the episode that dared to redefine fear through the prism of Japanese culture, with flashes of brilliance that we never forget.

Falcom has had a successful run with Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter! By giving itself the means to achieve its ambitions, the Japanese studio delivers an ideal remake to discover its flagship franchise. Thanks to an excellent combat system, polished graphics, and above all, a successful French translation, the first adventures of Estelle and Joshua are more captivating and accessible than ever. And while the story is driven by a fascinating universe and endearing characters, we can still criticize that it takes a while to get going and suffers from some lengths. Now, we can't wait to discover the remake of the next episode, which is considered one of the best installments in the saga and is already in the pipeline...

Dying Light: The Beast is a worthy successor to Stay Human and the most ambitious installment in the saga. Techland unleashes its bestial side in 2025 by refining the parkour and combat, and attempting to iron out several historical flaws of the franchise. The game's sense of freedom and cathartic brutality make it a perfect outlet for all fans of the genre who will take the time to contemplate a dazzlingly beautiful open world. However, The Beast is far from perfect, and suffers from certain modern ills that would have deserved to be addressed.

Silksong isn't the revolution of a decade like Breath of the Wild or possibly GTA 6. Its difficulty and universe make it a game still reserved for an audience that loves a demanding experience despite a notable effort in its accessibility. Still, in its category, it's a king who has by no means lost his crown. The title oozes the love of its developers from every pore of its skin. In addition to being undisputed in its field, Silksong is an example for all. An example that shows what can be delivered with time and love. Like a caterpillar, the developers of Team Cherry isolated themselves in their cocoon. And for 7 years, they were able to create a video game in the image of silk: light, soft, strong, which will undoubtedly stand the test of time.

Once again this year, NBA 2K26 is an immersive experience for any fan of the North American league. Ultra-complete with perfectly rendered atmospheres and player visuals/gestures, fans of management and controller sensations will enjoy offline modes like MyNBA, MyGM or MyTeam. This last mode mixes NBA players and WNBA players for even more legendary team possibilities and variety in the title. On the other hand, the online MyCareer mode will be divisive with its gameplay for Season 1, reserved for hardcore offensive players who know their shot and dunk gauge by heart, to the detriment of irregular shooting defenders. Visual Concepts has managed to be even more effective this year by leaving aside the side quests to get to the essentials and give more tools for fans of player and team creation to have fun. All that's missing is a game that's less demanding of virtual currency, 2K26 being still devilishly pay-to-fast, to approach perfection in the sports simulation genre.

Cronos: The New Dawn isn't the masterpiece it was hoped for, but it's a crucial milestone in Bloober Team's evolution. At times frenzied, often distressing, it embodies the sincere desire of a studio determined to overcome its mistakes and forge a true identity, even if its homages remain too obvious. A demanding, slow, and heavy survival horror, it doesn't seek to seduce but to oppress. An experience that is especially striking for its mastery of the codes of a genre that its creators now know like the back of their hand.

Whether or not you're immune to the restrictive mechanics of roguelites, you absolutely must dive into the world of this excellent The Rogue Prince of Persia. You'll come for its highly effective gameplay that's free of any superfluous elements, and you'll stay for the diabolical flow that emerges from the combat and exploration. Available in Game Pass and PS Plus Extra at the time of writing, the Evil Empire title published by Ubisoft aspires to only one thing when a game is over: restart another one to stay in this unbridled loop.

Despite some obvious flaws (especially in the combat department), Hell is Us is a good action-adventure game that shines particularly brightly thanks to its atmosphere and its ability to surprise the player. Rogue Factor has managed to create a rather unique blend of exploration, action, and puzzles, supported by a technique that commands respect. In short, if you're looking for a game at the crossroads of the genre, we recommend it. Be careful, however, if you have high expectations in terms of action-RPG or puzzles.

A successful bet for our little pink ball! This transition to 3D is a resounding success and gives more depth to this Nintendo universe, usually more in the background than the giants of the firm (Mario, Zelda and other Pokémon). Between well-thought-out new features and emblematic elements, Kirby has undeniably found the right formula and delivers us an excellent surprise. Everything is simple, of course, but it works and it is difficult to let go of the console. So yes, the world is less open than we thought, yes you will find few real challenges there, but we quickly forget that once the game is launched. A little breath of fresh air that feels good and constitutes an excellent gateway to the Kirby universe.

Like a lovingly polished katana, Shinobi Art of Vengeance cuts hard. Pleasant to pick up and fun to play thanks to its multiple moves, it's such a robust action game that the platforming aspect seems more timid in comparison. Sure, the Metroidvania-lite aspect offers large levels to explore, but it doesn't transcend the experience. In any case, we feel the rigor of intensive training behind many gameplay mechanics, like a shinobi perfecting his art, even if all the techniques observed have already been seen elsewhere.

Metal Gear Solid Delta succeeds in its bet to bring a legendary game up to date. 21 years after its release, MGS 3 remains a masterpiece thanks to its incredible storyline, memorable characters, and fast-paced adventure that never gets boring. For new players, its 4K visual overhaul with realistic rendering and comfort options make it an excellent entry point, while fans will be delighted to find all the content surrounding this episode in a single game. But for fear of distorting the original work, Konami has kept some flaws, such as an inconsistent artificial intelligence, but above all, gameplay marked by a certain heaviness that will discourage more than one. In any case, it's hard to deny the pleasure of seeing MGS return to the forefront, hoping that it leads to a new adventure next time.

Mafia: The Old Country is neither a grand coup nor a misstep. It's a return to its roots, understated and controlled, choosing linearity to better tell a story of men, blood, and loyalty. Enzo Favara's rise within the nascent mafia lays the foundations for a dense, intelligently written story, driven by elegant artistic direction. But this narrative ambition sometimes comes up against overly tame execution. The lack of boldness in the level design and sound prevents the game from truly taking off, from taking the epic leap it deserves. We sense the attention to detail, the rigor of the staging, but also a certain restraint where it should have been more daring. Mafia: The Old Country is a good vintage, a classic but polished mafia tale, which will delight fans of strong storytelling and old-school games. However, it lacks that spark that would have made it legendary.

Don't be afraid to take on this Ninja Gaiden imagined by The Game Kitchen. While the name of the license may make you tremble, Ragebound has more than one talisman up its sleeve to ensure that all players find pleasure in it, from the brave young Genin to the invincible Jônin. Very pleasant to play, both technical and fun, it is pure arcade fun like we rarely see. With a little more inventiveness in its level design and some better exploited ideas, it would have reached the coveted rank of Ninja Master. Ryu can in any case be proud of Kenji, his protégé defended the house very well in his absence.

Between Lies of P, Black Myth: Wukong and, now, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, Asian development studios are shaking up the Souls-like genre, even though they jumped ship along the way. Yet another iteration of a genre in its own right that needs no introduction, Leenzee's creation finds the perfect balance between a Souls-like that returns to its roots and a game whose genre must reinvent itself or risk becoming boring. Ultimately, the experience promised by Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is honest, robust and sincerely entertaining, if not revolutionary. It's a shame because its very good ideas aren't missing much to make it a flagship of the genre.

Donkey Kong Bananza isn't the absolute masterpiece some were expecting, but it's an excellent action-adventure game with effective, accessible gameplay and plenty of fresh ideas. It carves out a new direction for Donkey Kong without revolutionizing the formula, but with enough bananas, transformations and discoveries to please a wide audience. A title with groove, that hits the mark (and hard), and that makes you want to come back again and again.

With this Nintendo Switch 2 version, Street Fighter 6 offers a portable version that lives up to other machines, but not on all levels. If the image is less fine than on PC/PS5/XSX, the high frame rate makes the fights as playable as on other machines, as much for playing alone, in local multiplayer or online. On the other hand, it is more on the World Tour where the shoe pinches because of clashes in 30 frames per second which clash with the fluidity of exploration. And if we can criticize the absence of a directional cross on the console, it does not prevent Street Fighter 6 on Nintendo Switch 2 from being a very good port which proves that the machine has the power it needs to accommodate titles available on other platforms, unlike its big sister, even the most competitive ones.

Like the first episode, Death Stranding 2 is a game that will divide opinion, but not for the same reasons. Kojima Productions delivers a more mainstream sequel here, both in terms of writing and gameplay, and purists may miss the roughness of the 2019 title. But what DS2 loses in "personality", it gains in pace and variety. Progression is more generous and stimulating than in the past, and the action-infiltration phases accompany very well a gameplay loop that is still as gripping, based on delivery and movement optimization. And then, what can we say about the technique and artistic direction, which are of very high quality! In short, Death Stranding 2 is excellent, but is it a great game? It probably lacks a little spark for that...

Hogwarts Legacy on Switch 2 is a pleasant surprise. Where one might have feared a cheap port, Avalanche Software delivers a careful, balanced, and faithful adaptation. Although technical limitations remain, the essentials are preserved: exploration, the universe, the magic, the immersion. Graphically less ambitious and locked to 30 fps, the game remains fluid, manageable, and above all, complete. Its main asset: native portability, without streaming, offering a magical experience anywhere, anytime. Fans of the saga will find it the ideal travel companion. Newcomers will appreciate a generous RPG, provided they are sensitive to the Harry Potter universe. For optimal visual quality, the next-gen versions are still preferred. But for a captivating adventure to take with you, this Switch 2 version is an excellent alternative.

ReMatch dreams of being a concentrated action game and an arcade alternative that's both easy to access and challenging. At the start, this is partly the case, and some of its promises are kept: you can feel its potential, the games with friends are wild, and it's hard to put it down. However, Sloclap's title isn't yet up to the task of lasting 90 minutes. Lacking content and fine-tuning, the coming months will need to be dedicated to training if ReMatch has the ambition to lift a major trophy in the world of sports gaming.

Twelve years after its release, Bravely Default returns to accompany the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 in a version that enhances the qualities of the original game. With this graphical overhaul, we enjoy more than ever the original style of this adventure, especially on a portable device, and the few comfort additions make the experience more enjoyable. While the title still shines with its combat and music, certain aspects remain in their original state, such as its overly classic story or its incessant notifications. This remaster nevertheless remains the best way to discover this seminal and ideal game while waiting for the announcement of the next project from the Asano team.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a new masterpiece that makes Breath of the Wild, one of the best games of all time, look like a mess. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, it is certainly no longer a "revolution," but it perfects the player experience in an epic dimension that is unparalleled. The feeling of freedom, the impression of living your own adventure without constraints, these are the great strengths of a game with an absolutely exceptional lifespan. Tears of the Kingdom is revealed over time, little by little, to the point that it will still have things to reveal to us for years to come. It is a jewel of absolute purity and definitely, adventure with a capital A.
