Let's break the brick: LEGO Horizon Adventures does not perpetuate the exceptional transmitted by Horizon Zero Dawn. However, it has the merit of being very accessible, like the story with a completely offbeat tone. Its six-hour campaign allows you to quickly learn without fuss what is going on in the original game. In the same way, the gameplay offered takes little advantage of the original concept and may quickly tire video game regulars, and especially Horizon aficionados. Something that is felt in the content at the end of the game which offers the same missions in a loop, but necessary for anyone who is a fan of customization / decoration. LEGO Horizon Adventures is therefore aimed primarily at a young audience or even neophytes, wanting to get their hands on the brick.

H1Z1 might not have the personality, nor the same production level of as some of its competitors, the game still balances arcade and simulation well to feature all the tension required in the genre.

A high-level atmospheric experience, Under the Waves offers a truly immersive aquatic experience, enhanced by an absolutely memorable soundtrack (which you will undoubtedly want to listen to in your free time) and very convincing French performances. It's a shame that the story, although fascinating, suffers from a sometimes languorous pace, also hampered by laborious micro-tasks.

Clearly, Starlink: Battle for Atlas is repetitive and its storytelling is more than conventional. But the dogfight and the big open world are just so much fun. A good addition to the toys/video games cross-over.

Just Cause 4, on consoles, is a totally free sandbox experience, suffering from technical issues. Unluckily, the repetitive aspect of missions objectives will disappoint those who seeks more than a physical playground, even if combat system has evolved.

Despite its few unique special features, Fable Fortune draws too much of its inspiration from other well-known games. In such a crowded sector, we can only regret its lack of novelty.

EarthNight is a runner that features some very interesting and progressive gameplay mechanics but suffers from a lack of variety and tends to be a little confusing when things get too speedy.

Quotation forthcoming.

Boyfriend Dungeon is worth the detour for its very catchy concept alone. After all, what other game will have you dating half-man, half-weapon people that you can wield in dungeons? The first hours of the Kitfox Games title are very eye-catching. But the studio struggles to keep the fun going. This is due to the dates that drag on and the phases of action that generally lack diversity, both for the "dunjs" and for the weapons on offer. However, it is hard to imagine not recommending Boyfriend Dungeon if you are looking for a refreshing title. A nice surprise.

It’s a shame that Code Vein doesn’t achieve what it’s trying to do with its very cool class system. With its skimpy environments and dated visuals, Code Vein as a nice gameplay but it never really shines.

More than a tribute to the first two games, Darksiders III creates its own identity. More demanding, but also more rewarding, it improves the formula in almost every compartments. Sadly, it lacks the epic breath of its predecessors.

It's beautiful (if you like colored pixels), it moves well and lets off steam, with a big dose of challenge. Too bad this compilation took the easy way out because with more games and a bonus section, it would have had a lot more going for it. But fans and the curious will appreciate it.

With less fighting and exploration, but more management, Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World takes some risks. Which is a good thing, but some fans may be displeased.

Much more nervous and faster than its predecessors, the game retains what is the salt of the license but imposes new rules.

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]

Even if there’s some good moments in this DLC, such as the long-awaited good use of the spider-bot, Turf Wars struggles to develop its scenario. It doesn’t give any answer and worse, it adds new questions. Frustrating.

Gods Will Fall is steeped in good ideas, but would have gained a lot by taking them further. Equipped with an effective artistic direction, unique bosses and dungeons, and a link mechanic that works, the game manages to make us want to play and replay in order to meet the proposed challenge, and manage to defeat the ten deities present. The proposed experience is therefore pleasant, and the studio really holds something. Sadly, Gods Will Fall constantly seems on restraint, leaving a lingering impression of superficiality and repetitiveness.

Quotation forthcoming.

Very inspired by Left 4 Dead in its mechanisms, World War Z, yet, plays differently. It hasn’t the same depth, which limits it to a simple way to let off steam, but it can offer some good memories for you and all your friends.

The sets and animations show a beautiful finesse, and the racing sensations, already of a good level on the previous opus are even more exhilarating on PS5.

In essence, the Zone Zero Buried Treasure DLC is perfect for fans. As promised, it offers a new Pokédex to fill out: it will therefore be perfect for seasoned collectors, especially since the new activities offered in the Indigo Mask give a particular but very pleasant flavor to the gameplay. Conversely, it does not offer anything revolutionary: the story is not particularly worth the detour; the technique is identical to the previous ones and the fights are not particularly striking except for the small seed of challenge that they offer to unprepared players. In a few words, The Indigo Disc is an excellent DLC for fans whose ideas are too little exploited to make it essential for the uninitiated.

Contra: Operation Galuga finally allows the series to reconnect with its origins to once again become a staple of “run & gun”. Even if its artistic direction spoils part of the experience, we definitely find the original spirit of the franchise. Weapon management has been completely redesigned and the game is now teeming with multiple bonuses and improvements to unlock. The frenzy of Arcade mode playable with 4 players in coop compensates for the lack of readability specific to certain levels as well as the lifespan 100% focused on scoring. And if the feeling of déjà vu is sometimes tenacious, it is it which makes the link with the mythical origins of the saga.

Impeccable in its soundtrack, offering some inspired boss fights and really enjoyable to play, No Straight Roads is therefore convincing in its core proposition, except for a few readability concerns during more heavy clashes visually and soundly.

Quotation forthcoming.

God Wars: The Complete Legend has solid gameplay and awesome musics. Nevertheless, we had logically thought that this Switch release would make a good use of the touchscreen. Sadly, it doesn’t.

Less inspired than its predecessor, that second episode is more of a transition for the second part of the season. But there’s still some good stuff, among which its good writing.

A well-balanced motocross game that will please newcommers and experts as well, thanks to a brand new race-editor, and some small improvements that unfortunately doesn't concern the Career or Online modes.
