Dakar 18 was a promissing title that might had over-promissed. Its numerous technical flaws and its poor physics are too much to overcome, despite some good ideas, such as its navigation system.

40 playable characters and a huge fan service isn't enough for a fighting game. The game is technically disappointing with confusing camera management and a screen that often overdoses with visual effects.

With its tempting line-drawn comic universe, Foreclosed has shown itself to be rather attractive over the thumbnails and changes of viewing angles. But gameplay as narration are seen too limited, providing an experience too on the surface, which ends abruptly without managing to engage us sufficiently in its yet attractive universe. And Foreclosed's shimmering paw has too much trouble to compensate for the pallor of its action phases.

Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is ultimate in name only. While the title bills itself as the most comprehensive release in the series, that is only true for its impressive cast of over 130 fighters. On the other hand, as for its story mode... between a minimally regressive setting, absent major boss fights and above all an original story that is not very interesting, there is reason to be frankly disappointed. Ultimately, only fans of the franchise determined to play online will find what they are looking for by taking advantage of the generous roster and the gameplay that is still as effective despite the years. For others, we advise you to turn to the first four episodes, which are available on all platforms and often at a low price, to better enjoy the story of Naruto.

An experience apart, totally rooted in a bygone era, for better but also for worse.

Designed for players who love the LEGO universe, this new entry to the franchise feels tailor-made for a young audience. For more hardcore gamers, it looks repetitive, lacks of originality and doesn't even follow the movie in terms of story telling.

Atelier Ryza 2 is a frustrating experience as it continues to deconstruct the main principles that have supported the series for more than 10 years. We are witnessing a script written on a corner of the table, an interventionist adventure full of empty dungeons, and uninspired conversations between characters of all kinds. It is the sad impression of a forced march towards naive and insipid general public standards which destroy the charm of yesteryear. However, we take a lot of fun in the fights and with the flawless alchemy system that appears more than ever as the last bulwark before the general collapse.

Quotation forthcoming.

Despite some obvious qualities, Oninaki loses its strenght because of too many omnipresent flaws. Poor realization, balance issues and failed dungeons sequences, there’s too much to really enjoy what’s left.

Mario Kart Tour may have some nice visuals, it’s also very uninspired when it comes to track design and spends too much time trying to find ways to get your money.

The framerate drops regularly on classic consoles while the Pro versions never reach 60 fps, even in Performance mode.

Hopefully the team in charge of the project will improve this perfectible recipe, but full of potential, over the updates.

There’s nothing really new or interesting in Harvest Moon: Light of Hope. Even if it’s still the same chill, low-pace game, it’s technically outdated, and too far from Story of Seasons and Stardew Valley’s richness.

After several hours of intense gameplay, I was incredibly excited and ultimately frustrated by God of War: Sons of Sparta. The writing lacks punch, both in terms of the characters and the story. The gradual progression one expects from a Metroidvania is absent, as is the desire to explore every nook and cranny. The combat also suffers from fatal flaws. Our young Spartan doesn't chain attacks together as smoothly as his future self, and he's hampered by a truly awful AI. As it stands, it's impossible to recommend, whether to a fan of the God of War or to Metroidvania veterans. Kratos still has a long way to go before becoming a god, and I've fallen from grace.

Serious Sam 4 is a legitimate sequel to the franchise, true to its origins in both substance and form, but that's it, and that’s the point. Video games have evolved. The players and their expectations have changed in 2020. A franchise needs to innovate, like the reboots of Doom and Wolfenstein, or else it will be overwhelmed before it has even had time to draw. This is clearly not the case with Serious Sam 4, which is mired in a dated vision of the video game.

Yes, Illusion : A Tale of the Mind looks great and it has some good ideas. But that’s almost all it has to offer. Its puzzles are way too easy, and just moving can be frustrating.

With its only game mode at launch and highly questionable balance, Hood: Outlaws & Legends is in a difficult state to recommend.

An adventure that lacks of puzzles and interactivity, with a mobile app that doesn't really bring enough interest. It's a shame because the atmosphere and direction is great, with an good implication of Holly Earl.

Laser League is typically the kind of game which is enjoyable for a few minutes, before it reveals its own weakness: repetitivness, mostly due to a lack of depth. Which is sad, because its main idea is really cool.

There was reason to be happy about the return of Test Drive Unlimited: offering a gigantic map based on the faithful reproduction of Hong Kong Island and always with this immersive aspect specific to the series, Solar Crown had good arguments to seduce. The bottom line is that the title relies on a repetitive and frustrating progression that almost never rewards the player brave enough to invest hours of hard work; worse still, its alarming technical aspect simply prevents us from enjoying the gameplay and artistic direction that are nevertheless successful. Instead, we will have to make do with a mandatory internet connection that degrades the experience to the point of sometimes making it unplayable and indigestible; we will also have to put up with uneven graphics and a broken framerate, bugs galore and an unbalanced AI that pushes to recurring nervous breakdowns. Fortunately, the sensations and effects of speed are good, the number of cars is correct and the environment pleasant, but it is difficult to appreciate them at their true value for all the pitfalls in question.

Great art direction and smooth combat show a desire to do well. Although the overall lack of control and the redundant experience can't save Extinction.

In spite of some good ideas such as infiltration, Cyberpulot fails to be a complete gain, looking more like a two hours experience with a lazy scenario, a weak sense of challenge, and fighting scenes that lacks of intensity.

Unfortunately, Sumo Digital's game suffers from many technical weaknesses that betray its origins, and a game-design that's too limited, which struggles to captivate past the first hours of discovery.

Hopefully the game will improve, for example by offering more varied maps and by optimizing the formula: balancing, fluidity of play. In the meantime, we prefer to relaunch part of Friday The 13th: The Video Game, which despite its many shortcomings, offered a better gaming experience.

Shenmue 3 is an anachronistic work unable to extricate itself from the grip of a distant past.

Disappointment or disillusion. Pick the adjective you want and that's what Scribblenauts will be. Let's just hope that the series will one day come back in better shape.

Even if it shows some degrees of mastery in the use of RTS codes, Warparty is rigged with many flaws, from poor AI too technical issues. Too bad, because the whole universe built by the studio is pretty cool.

While art of rally is appealing on PC and Xbox Series X, this is unfortunately not the case for this Xbox One version. Against all expectations, the title, between ubiquitous clipping and unsightly textures, is far from living up to the Microsoft console. Fortunately, the driving element retains its qualities.

Unfortunately, No More Heroes 3 misses the mark. This episode is sorely lacking in ambition and does less well than its predecessors released ten years ago. Too bad, because his combat system has taken off in the meantime. But its dated structure, its dubious artistic direction, its unspecified bosses and its writing frankly not at the level of the license come to spoil the party. This leaves a boring action game that does a lot to make it look cool, but never quite gets there.

Too similar to its elder brother ARK: Survival Evolved, Atlas is pretty much the same game, but with boats. The few good things it brings to the table are shadowed by a bad menuing and a core that never delivers its substance.

Trying to play the nostalgia chord is risky, because it has its own limits. It shows, in Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn. Despite its hilarious scenario, the game is repetitive and devoid of any attempt to create something new.

EX Voto 1348 is an experience that leaves a bitter taste—that of a missed opportunity. While one is initially captivated by its Tuscan panoramas and carried along by a voice cast of rare authenticity, the title crumbles the moment you scratch beneath the surface. Between its expressionless faces, game-breaking bugs, and a linear structure desperately devoid of any environmental storytelling, the journey is cut short. Where benchmarks like *A Plague Tale* or *Blasphemous* succeed in making their medieval worlds feel tangible and oppressive, this title settles for the bare minimum. Despite the passion of its voice actors, the overall offering—whether in terms of technical execution, immersion, or gameplay—unfortunately remains insufficient.

Onrush looks like a racing game, plays almost like a racing game and feels like a racing game. But it’s not a racing game. It’s more of a MOBA game, and this is a cool concept, but it simply doesn’t really work.

If Alien: Blackout is truly faithful to the movies, at least in its concept, it is sadly crippled with many issues. Poor story-telling, lake of ambition and under-exploited ideas are only topped by an absurd difficulty.

Frustrating in its playability, abstruse in most of its rules, the soft falls without a net. No drama to report: like a drunken cannon-man, Balan Wonderworld misses his target. Too imprecise for the youngest, too basic for fans of the genre, he cannot count on any of his costumes to hide his shortcomings.
