Last Stop gave us an overall pleasant experience by concocting three distinct plots with fair flavors. Precise rhythm, convincing characters, story that keeps us in suspense: there is no doubt that the Variable State studio masters its pen. What a pity that the player's freedom is so compartmentalized by its lack of impact on events and that the technical quality tarnishes the experience. The adventure will however prove to be appreciable for fervent fans of narrative games who are just waiting to discover an entertaining story.

Very neat, it is based on classic foundations, but is full of interesting ideas.

The general level-design of the levels does not manage to reinvent itself over the length and the title tends to lack punch, the fault of heroes with clumsy movements.

With high-quality humor and pixel art, Batbarian: Testament of the Primordials captivates from the start and continues to amaze over the hours.

Nintendo seems to have heard the reproaches made at the 2011 Skyward Sword and drastically attenuated them. By offering alternative controls and minimizing the interactions with Fay that broke the rhythm of the adventure, this new version goes further than other remasters and changes what needed most.

If innovation is not the strong point of Ys IX Monstrum Nox, which is actually Ys VIII with the game structure of Tokyo Xanadu, Falcom nevertheless delivers a dense and complete J-RPG. The richness of the action, the characters, the music and the narration shows that the developer has the qualities of a good Japanese action-RPG perfectly in mind, even if his interventionism will make one cringe. Ys IX is a safe bet, but perhaps not as legendary as its predecessor who pushed the limits of level design. Regarding the technical specifics of this Switch version, we note that despite very visible problems when exploring the city (aliasing, clipping, drop in framerate ...), the fights manage to offer a stable framerate. An experience below the PS4 version but which will satisfy those who wish at all costs to play in portable mode.

With its charming, restful universe, its polished soundtrack and its original approach to mechas who can achieve feats in combat, Stonefly is a fun game, but more calibrated for short sessions than for long-term immersion.

This Oddworld Collection will charm you with the presence of three great games that have marked the history of video games. However, it must be taken into account that it is aimed primarily at all fans of the franchise, aspiring collectors and all those who have missed out on this iconic series during all these years since this compilation is only available. in physical format is aptly named. It does not add anything more compared to the digital versions which can now be found at a lower cost on the Nintendo eShop, except that it avoids the downloading of games.

With Boomerang X, the DANG studio goes straight to the point and brilliantly exploits a lively and enjoyable gameplay, which allows the most beautiful bloody choreographies.

Yes, the technical shortcomings are felt, especially in the animations and the expressions of the characters. But the Nîmes team, undoubtedly driven by the love of Japanese RPGs that shines through every pixel, has overcome some of the difficulties encountered. The studio aptly bet on artistic direction, music and dialogue, in addition to a host of elements that add substance to the gameplay, for a pleasant and complete video game experience, albeit of mixed quality.

Yes, Monster Hunter Stories 2 has all the cards in hand to be the J-RPG of this early summer on Switch. With its original and rich combat system, generous content and charming graphics, the title offers an enjoyable experience that will keep you busy for part of your vacation. Faced with this interesting proposal, we can blame it for its very, even too classic scenario, as well as its technique which does not always manage to offer a stable rendering. In itself, nothing to spoil this invitation to travel which shines with the originality of its confrontations and the good humor it exudes.

With its arcade orientation, its cartoonish aspect and most of the 18 events that hold up, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games - The Official Game does its job quite well, although we would probably have preferred a game more in the vein of London 2012 to name but one. However, it remains a fun game to play with family and locally, the multiplayer being deserted. The game alone will not hold you back for long once all the events have been played two or three times.

Just as recommendable as on mobile, the Switch version of Sky: Children of the Light gains in magic once the console is placed in the dock. You can enjoy the excellent art direction on the big screen and appreciate the joystick controls. The expanses of clouds as far as the eye can see impress and make you want to get lost in them. This free-to-play has not lost its luster and deserves your full attention, especially if, like us, you loved Journey.

With a rich and pleasant gameplay, a really neat artistic direction and a fairly well balanced challenge (a little less at the end of the adventure), Ender Lilies ticks all the boxes of the successful 2D action-RPG. There isn't much more to say, except that if you enjoyed Hollow Knight or Blasphemous, you are going to have a great time with the baby from Live Wire and Adglobe. Especially since the title has its twist, thanks to its mind system, which will allow you to recover new skills on the bosses beaten. Enough to forge your own style of play, within tortuous and increasingly challenging levels. In short, it's varied, inspired, rich with in addition a good lifespan. A very nice adventure.
