Warhammer Age of Sigmar Realms of Ruin has a lot going for it, including high-quality production, numerous game modes and a variety of factions, but it suffers from one of the worst flaws of any video game: it's not very interesting or fun. Managing your army is unsatisfying, lacking control and options on the one hand, and on the other, the game is slow, cumbersome and punishing. It takes a lot of effort to get used to its particular gameplay, and is likely to put off many players.

Youtubers Life 2 could really have been a good little influencer life simulation game if its formula had been a little better thought out. The sometimes shaky features combined with the merciless passage of time are both stressful and frustrating, as it feels like you're missing out on what each day has to offer. Having to race against the clock and make painful choices is not very relaxing. If you are not too competitive in managing your YouTube channel as well as the layout of your home, and if you enjoy the social interactions with the strange inhabitants of New Tube City, you can have a pretty good time.

Souldiers was "this close" to join the not so closed club of the great indie metroidvania, only its absurd difficulty and its finally very flat gameplay got the better of the pleasure of the game quite quickly. It's a pity, because Retro Forge's title is full of very good ideas and, damn it, it's got a lot of good looks: apart from some dubious color choices on some shots, Souldiers can at least boast of a 2D of an almost unprecedented finesse. To make it short: it's very beautiful, but really average.

Tangle Tower is above all a game carried by its characters. Zany and reminiscent of Cartoon Network archetypes, they represent — with the artistic direction — the power of the game. After the surprise of discovering puzzles, they turn out to be easy and end quickly. The game is designed for mobile devices with its short sessions, and unfortunately will not satisfy lovers of puzzle games. However, it could be a good choice for novices.

With its graphics and its turn-based gameplay, Cris Tales is very attractive, especially since it is enhanced by an appreciable soundtrack with various tracks. The dubbing in VO is also of good quality, even if it sometimes tends to break the rhythm a bit. It's a pity that the animations are a bit stiff and that the software suffers from some lags during the fights. The latter, although pleasant, are also a bit too easy and frequent, giving a feeling of exaggerated repetitiveness. On the other hand, the title has a good lifespan. The presence of unmarked enemies and the recurrent loading can also be criticized. Nevertheless, even if we would have appreciated a more mature story, it is pleasant to follow and the gameplay playing with time works very well.

Already made complicated by its niche Xbox exclusive aspect and high price despite access to Game Pass day1, Redfall and Arkane miss their opportunity to release a great game. This "most ambitious project" is also one of their least successful. FPS, RPG, single player, multiplayer, open world and other keywords, a little bit of everything for a lot of nothing and inconsistencies. This accumulation of good ideas and the few very good points of the game are ruined by the many problems (AI, optimization in particular) that tarnish it. A world, its exploration and bad guys nevertheless pleasant, with which we would have liked to get more involved and that the developers give it an even stronger identity.

Blood Bowl 3 should delight the ultra fans of the first hour of the license, or at least those whose team is part of the line-up of the game from its release. If you can get past the roster issue and the (potential) business model issue, then it's still a game that "does the job", without reinventing anything. The atmosphere is still great, beating up the opposing teams is still satisfying... Special mention to the menus and customizations which have really evolved since Blood Bowl 2.

Blue Reflection Second Light is not a game that will suit everyone, but it remains interesting on several aspects. Whether it is for the diversity of its environments, or the improvements compared to the previous game, which allow our heroines to evolve a little as we want. This second opus brings a bit of freshness with its new fighting system and it's encouraging for the future. And if you are interested, we advise you to test the demo.

The Walking Dead Onslaught has a way to immerse us in the universe of the series, but it won't be remembered. It's pleasant to play — the fights are stressful and the choice of weapons is extensive — but it lacks variety and even forces us to redo several missions to unlock the next ones. Additionally, we find it hard to feel concerned about the rebuilding of Alexandria, as it only acts as a hub to launch missions. As for the four characters, they are rather forgettable, and only Daryl's story is worth the attention.

Without being catastrophic, the result is unsatisfactory in almost all areas, and we are saddened to see so many good ideas badly exploited, and with wasted potential. The combat system is original but badly balanced. The atmosphere is intriguing and the city has a real verticality, but it is completely flooded with repetitive fights and items to collect. The narration could have saved the whole thing, but it quickly stumbles, and ends after only a few hours without giving any reason to be interested. The direction is equally inconsistent, with significant ups and downs. If instead of investing its limited resources in a failed open world, the studio had focused on the rest, maybe Ghostwire Tokyo would have been a good game.

Crimson Desert’s best moments come when you think about the game it could have been, were it not for its overabundance of clunky mechanics and its painfully sluggish controls. Riddled with glitches and systems that don’t work, Pearl Abyss’s first single-player game can rely on its sublime open world, or its core management system borrowed from BDO, to occasionally lift us out of our frustration.

While full of good intentions with its impressive hordes of mutants and some remarkable panoramas, it may be that the impression of having already played Days Gone a dozen times in the last 5 years comes to your mind very quickly.

Milestone is bringing improvements and more content to its supercross game, but it's not sure that this will be enough to satisfy fans. As for the newcomers, they should not be discouraged by the title's demands. The career mode has been effectively revised, but remains rather classic like all the other activities offered. However, the track editor is quite convincing. Anyway, the sensations are there, it's a pity that the graphics are still from another era.

While fans of the series will certainly enjoy having all their heroes back in a colourful game faithful to the original material, the others will probably be harder to convince. Except for the story and the anime side of the title, the production is rather unremarkable with regrettable inconsistencies. The turn-based combats are quite repetitive, but are fortunately compensated by the regular addition of new gameplay elements. If you're a fan of the series, you are likely to be seduced by the enchanting universe of Fairy Tail and its characters. Otherwise, you should probably wait for a more appropriate price for the experience.

In the end, despite some big design mistakes, Recompile remains a very funny title that will offer a wonderful trip in a very colorful universe to its players. The flaws and the too great facility of the title are, without any doubt, compensated by its enchanting atmosphere and its more than pleasant game feeling. Far from being a must-have Metroidvania, Recompile will nevertheless be the kind of title that, although it doesn't offer anything new, will keep a small place in the memory of the players who will have the courage to launch into its adventure.

It's tough not to consider Astral Chain something of a small disappointment, especially when you know Platinum Games' talent for beat 'em ups. We not only highly commend the fight mechanics in this latest title from Takahashi Taura, but also its universe — original and supported by a high-class artistic direction. However, the overall game is pulled down somewhat by a structure of missions that doesn't match the studio's desire to mix the beat 'em up and investigative genres, and further by large approximations and other technical problems — all of which have a significant impact on the enjoyment of the game.

Dedicated to the WorldSBK 2022 championship, SBK 22 is a lighter version of MotoGP 22. It has the same components, without the historical mode. There are fewer bikes and fewer tracks, for a slightly reduced price. If you own MotoGP 22, unless you are a Superbike championship fan, you may wonder why you should add this redundant title to your game library. But It is indeed a very good simulation with real driving sensations.

The only big new game for the Nintendo Switch this end of year 2020, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a little disappointing. As enjoyable as any self-respecting musou, Omega Force's title is technically flawed, limited in content and largely under-exploited story-wise. We may have expected too much, but this new title in the universe of Zelda Breath of the Wild was meant to cover an important part of the story, and it seems botched on many points.

Hell is Us is another title that would have been better suited to being a movie rather than a game. Rather than focusing on Souls-like action or puzzles to offer solid gameplay, it attempts to combine these two radically different genres, and the result is disappointing. Finding an audience looking for both of these experiences at once is difficult enough, but they have also been treated superficially, even clumsily, because of this ill-advised compromise. It is therefore unlikely that they will satisfy the majority of players. This is all the more unfortunate given that the overall production is of fairly good quality and the atmosphere is sometimes incredible. Hell is Us confronts us with the horrors of war in a way that few games dare to do, but its message risks being lost in the wanderings of the gameplay.

Fans of the series will appreciate to rediscover the characters and universe of Narcos, as the game will remind them of the events and places of the first season. The graphics are good, provided that you don't get too close and don't mind about strange camera angles. The targeting can sometimes be problematic, but the strategic aspect and the third person real-time actions are quite effective. We liked being able to switch sides between Narcos and D.E.A but, unfortunately, the game is too repetitive.

Full of good intentions, Soul Hackers 2 never really convinces: its limited gameplay and redundant environments make it an experience that shows its limits very quickly, and it should take you a couple of hours before you get to the bottom of it. Lovers of Japanese turn-based games can still try their luck to fill a hollow tooth, but it doesn't offer anything substantial enough to quench their MegaTen thirst.

With Youngblood, Machinegames clearly had a card to play by offering co-op alongside their excellent reboot of the Wolfenstein series. Unfortunately, this spin-off stumbles by proposing an adventure stretched to the maximum — the fault of a superficial leveling system that forces players to chain 'fetch' side quests in order to access the scripted content, which is then limited to just five missions. A few good gameplay ideas, a more open level design (thanks Arkane), and a reduced price prevent Wolfenstein: Youngblood from being a shipwreck.

Empire of Sin is a rather seductive mix of turn-based strategy inspired by XCOM and Prohibition-era thug management games. The game experience is varied enough and the city of Chicago lively enough for the player to have a good 20 hours of fun, but don't expect to invest much more in it as the situations you will face during the fights, in the management of your empire and in the relationships with other gangs will repeat themselves quite quickly, giving the feeling that you've gone around pretty quickly and not really making you want to restart a game after reaching the end credits.

Mission accomplished for Robocop: Rogue City. It's a pretty good game for fans of the license and 80s action films. Everything is faithfully reproduced and even enriched, while offering a gameplay that makes good use of Robocop's particularities, both as a cybernetic policeman serving the city and as a killing machine. In this context, it's quite amusing, even pleasant, to follow Alex Murphy and his little phrases before a big massacre. However, the game won't be of much interest to other players. Its content won't appeal to them, it's too short, too repetitive and too poorly produced to justify its price tag.

The excellent atmosphere and the cinematographic ambitions of Twelve Minutes are not enough to make it an unforgettable experience. Underneath lies a sloppy point & click game, serving a disjointed plot with far from captivating stakes. As for its time loop concept, it induces too many inconsistencies and repetitions in the course of the adventure to be fully satisfying.

Bravely Default 2 isn't a bad game but, unfortunately, it never goes beyond the stage of a nice old-fashioned turn-by-turn experience and the game is pretty dated in many ways. The Brave and Default systems are still doing the job, while the Asterisks ensure the diversity of builds by allowing players to experiment to the fullest. But here we are, after this successful déjà vu background, there isn't much left for this second canonical episode. The game has a lot of difficulties to work correctly, the artistic direction, except the villages, leaves to be desired and the annexed content is of a deep boredom. As for the scenario, it's almost the same thing as BD1: those who made it know what we are talking about.

For those who are just looking for an exercise guide to work out, then Let's Get Fit is what you need. It offers different tools and programs to meet different profiles, and different expectations, whether it is to ensure your well-being or actively try to build muscle. However, it fails with its very irregular tracking of movements, and its minimalist feedback on performance. Moreover, it does not look enough like a game, which can be a serious flaw when the main difficulty is to keep the motivation and interest of the aspiring athletes.

For all its faults, Enotria: The Last Song is a pretty decent Souls-like, but it doesn't know how to use its ideas, which deprives it of any chance of standing out. Rather than promoting radically different styles of play, the configurations are limited to offering a little optimization at best. Combat balancing problems and its limited lifespan are also major black spots, in a genre rich in titles of far better quality, for a not-so-different price.

You just can't be lenient with Ghost Recon Breakpoint - the feeling of failure is too strong on all levels. The "Realistic Division" formula is too imperfect, making it a bitter pill to swallow for fans of tactical shooters, and bland for fans of loot-shooters. Each of the ideas and mechanics cannot even deliver half of what is expected from a game of this kind the scenario falls flat, the staging is a disaster, and the progression is limited.

Very stylish and with high-quality staging ideas, Romeo is a Dead Man is nevertheless a merely adequate game that we would find difficult to recommend wholeheartedly. Despite everything, beneath this thick layer of flaws, Grasshopper Manufacture manages to convey a kind of touching sincerity that makes it impossible to be completely angry with it. A video game B movie that is as frustrating as it is endearing.

Warhammer 40000: Boltgun is a nice retro FPS that takes elements from 1993's DOOM by making the fights more nervous and in a recent packaging, which makes it enjoyable to play. Nevertheless, you shouldn't ask too much of it, because basically, it's just about liquidating dozens of enemies in a succession of arenas. Only for the trigger-happy.

Inspired by Pixar, Bugsnax offers us a gameplay that is both strange and surprising and that could well touch any generation of players. Made for the general public, the game developed by the studio behind Octodad is colorful in many ways. Between quirky humor and creatures to collect (and to eat), Bugsnax remains above all an adventure game with narration and quests to follow. It will not be enough to just put your brain down but also to think about the different "puzzles" that will be offered to you to capture the bugs half food half insect. That said, even though Bugsnax offers a real mix of quests, adventure and collection, it could be quite confusing and not everyone will like it. One thing's for sure: the game is original.

With Rage 2, Id Sofware and Avalanche combines their expertise to create a FPS in an open world with exciting but repetitive fights. If the superpowers and weapons unlocked in the Arches allow you to have fun for a few hours, the big lack of stakes changes everything. You can count about ten main missions, mixed with mandatory micro-objectives, before seeing the end of the adventure, i.e. 6 to 8 hours in one go. It is possible to complete all the secondary objectives of the map in order to gain more power, but without any real goal to achieve. What's the point then?

We'd probably have preferred to wait for a more accomplished version of the magical sport in the next Hogwarts Legacy, but “Quidditch Champions” at least has the merit of existing. With a lifespan shorter than watching all 8 Harry Potter films, the latest title from Unbroken Studios and Warner Bros Games seems to be a foretaste of what fans can expect in the near future. With its free-to-play packaging, it's a complete experience where you can play every role on a Quidditch team, for less than 30 euros.

The title has many qualities, especially aesthetic. However, once the graphic slap is over, the various flaws of the game present themselves to the player. The sublime artistic direction and the worked out narration are extremely attractive, however, the slowness and repetitiveness of the game means that it will certainly not be appreciated by everyone. But for the player ready to take his time, Haven is a true meditation exercise because of its relaxing and minimalist side.

Fallback is a funny little twist brought to an old-fashioned genre. With only one difficulty mode, three levels, and characters that all look the same, it can be finished in one evening, but the experience is pleasant. However, we cannot get rid of the impression that it is a prototype for a broader and more ambitious game, or that it was destined to be much larger.

Daemon X Machina is clearly trying to replicate the formula of Armored Core, but it suffers from an uninteresting plot and weary dialogue. On the other hand, it offers a careful artistic direction and advanced personalization of mechas. Unfortunately, as the missions progress, Daemon X Machina loses its rhythm and the interest of players, due to too many similar objectives and a blatant lack of inventiveness related to the repetition of quests. It's a shame, too, as it's a title with such a beautiful color palette and controls that are so accessible.

It was a good idea to adapt Dragon Ball Z in a game that was not only based on combat, but also on the adventure aspect. In addition to playing Goku, being able to play other Z Warriors while customizing their attacks and traveling through the rich universe offered by Akira Toriyama's work is quite fun. Unfortunately, the poor execution and the large but superficial content greatly spoil the enjoyment. The side quests are basic and uninteresting, so we'll tend to focus on the main story. Luckily, the soundscape, the cinematics and some fight scenes make up for it, along with the fidelity to the original work. Nevertheless, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot isn't the great adaptation we were all waiting for.

Journey for Elysium offers us an enchanting getaway to the land of the dead with a very accomplished graphic style. The title provides an opportunity to use very immersive paddling and climbing techniques. However, the absence of room scale unfortunately affects the final result, as does the lack of a real challenge and the shortness of the adventure.

Let's Sing 2020 remains quite conventional conceptually, but the new multiplayer mode Let's Party manages to spice up the gameplay a little and make this French and International Hits version a real karaoke game. Whether you play alone, in a duo or with multiple friends, fun is the word. However, be careful to be in tune if you want to get the best scores. The real asset of Let's Sing? You can play with or without a microphone, by downloading a simple application on your smartphone.

At first glance, Harvest Moon: One World isn't very attractive graphically, but it's still a good farm game. All the features you'd expect are there and even if the landscapes are still very poor, the game offers a good storyline with several regions to explore, seasonal events and some nice improvements like teleportation. This new Harvest Moon game will certainly delight the franchise's lovers, but remains a light version of what we could expect in 2021.

Necromunda seems to be a game still in development with a graphical quality that lacks polish and technical aspects that are unfinished. Nevertheless, the FPS has interesting combat mechanics and customization, and players who are not too fussy about the flaws in the scenery, cinematics, cutscenes or the interface will enjoy this game that is meant to be a good, big, fun way to let off steam.

If you take away the game's classy art direction and particularly well embodied main characters, there's not much left for Suicide Squad to convince. Its service-oriented looter-shooter mechanics break the rhythm into a thousand pieces, and the shameful repetitiveness of the mission objectives (5 different types over 10 hours of play) undermines what little motivation there is left to dig deeper into its botched endgame. It's just a decent, pretty romp to be enjoyed with friends, but certainly not at full price.

Finally, although Sonic Colors Ultimate is a very dynamic game and very pleasant to play, it still suffers too much from the flaws of the original game as well as from the various problems specific to Sonic 3D games. In spite of a handling that should certainly be reviewed, the game offers interesting gameplay elements as well as a particularly attractive artistic direction. But this new edition does not offer any real interesting novelties. Moreover, the game suffers from major technical problems on Switch.

Bow to Blood: Last Captain Standing is a game with an interesting concept of competition in arena which involves alliances with other captains. Unfortunately, the arenas and the proposed goals are too few in number, empty, and all ending up looking like each other. If you are sensitive to VR's motion sickness, we advise you to activate the tunneling. The spectacular aspect of the show proposed by the host, as well as the humor between the crew members, are rather successful and the different elements to manage provide a good challenge.

Door Kickers: Action Squad is using its predecessor as a model to divert aesthetic codes and game mechanics. Where the original Door Kickers immersed the player in top-down tactical battles, Action Squad focuses on direct battles for immediate pleasure, all in an 80's American action movie atmosphere. Fun in small doses, Action Squad will be particularly enjoyable with a second person over a beer and snacks.

Despite all the love we have for the original material, it is unfortunately impossible for us to recommend this remaster of Shin Megami Tensei 3 at full price. If some efforts have been made to make the experience much more accessible, the graphical lifting is almost non-existent. The game still has great qualities, with its unique universe and its very strategic monsters fights, but we can only advise you to wait for the price to go down a notch before trying the experience.

Between a disappointing campaign and a whole "service game" aspect with significant content but limited interest, Marvel's Avengers didn't convince us. We'll have to see how the Crystal Dynamics game evolves, as there's clearly potential behind its progression system and its superheroes with very distinct styles. But for now, we suggest you think carefully before jumping into the adventure. In addition to all the structural flaws and lack of variety, the game has a plethora of irritating technical problems, including bugs, crashes and framerate issues. We'll see in 5 or 6 months.

Solo Leveling Arise is a game that has the potential to be a good one, but suffers from a lack of optimizations and a business model that will try to make you pull out the blue card in order to save a few options and time. Despite this, it does have a good combat system, pretty good graphics, a fairly high quality soundtrack and plenty of content, but it's a shame that this is spoiled by a few immediate details. However, if you really want to try it out since it's free, we advise you to turn to the PC version, in the hope that the problems will be rectified fairly quickly.

MotoGP 21 is not bad, but we have the impression to go backwards. It certainly brings some additional elements like the management of the temperature of the brakes or new penalties of exit of track, as well as all the riders and circuits of the championship, but it remains quite bland. It's still a reference in motorcycle racing simulation, but it's lacking. And the graphics haven't really evolved. Milestone even emoved the history mode without offering anything else instead. An opus which, despite its qualities, seems a bit too lazy. This annual upgrade is clearly dispensable.

Forspoken barely avoids disaster thanks to its gameplay and its two main characters, two aspects that are not without their faults either. Its few good ideas simply don't manage to make up for its huge shortcomings: Luminous' title quickly gets bogged down in a rousing structure, which will take you through areas that are certainly huge, but empty of interest. The activities all look the same, the level design is very poor, as is the bestiary... In short, it is impossible for us to recommend it at full price.

With a PC port, we expected a little more from Murder Mystery Machine than a simple transposition of the mobile game to the computer. The interface is the same, none of the people are dubbed and the music track has not been improved (with only a few sounds and three songs). The story, while classic, is nevertheless well done enough to make you want to finish the eight episodes. Murder Mystery Machine is a nice entry point for people who want to discover investigation games.

With good intentions and interesting ideas, Espire 1 - VR Operative unfortunately doesn't live up to all its ambitions. If the voice control is effective and the gadgets appreciable, the enemies' AI is quite limited and the disturbingly easy fights are not worth being sneaky. Fortunately, the world leaderboard is there to remind us that the goal of the game is to be stealthy. The Control Theatre, on the other hand, has turned out to be disappointing and will probably be deactivated. If we appreciated the possibility of playing seated, the graphics are too bland and the collision system can be improved. At the end of the day, we get the impression that the developers lacked time and/or resources, and it's a shame.

For a very affordable price, Days of Heroes: D-Day offers you to relive the last moments of World War II in many different situations and from different angles. If only technically it was more accomplished, it could really be a good title. The detailed and differentiated handling of the weapons, as well as the aiming or even the bag , as long as it doesn't get in the way, are indeed quite nice. And the minimalist graphic style proves to be successful, even if we regret that the two sides are difficult to distinguish. Unfortunately, you have to put up with the bugs and shaky handling, as well as the scripted missions with AI-less opponents, which is a shame.

Watch Dogs Legion had a catchy concept, but everything is far too superficial, which undermines all the gameplay and the interest of the game. The combination of a questionable balance, universal hacking, the lack of difficulty and overly versatile recruits results in a functional but tasteless gameplay. The generic story takes itself way too seriously while making us betray its message is easily forgettable. The basics are present, and there's still stuff to do that'll keep you busy for a while. You might even be able to have fun by thinking outside the box, but it's probably not worth the detour.

For casual or moderate players who don't want to be competitive, Diablo Immortal proves to be a fun and enjoyable game on mobile, which adapts the gameplay of the Diablo license well. Invested players, on the other hand, will struggle with artificially slowed progression, completely insane premium store prices to optimize their character, and a barely functional PC version. The whole multiplayer aspect of the title is also terribly clunky and artificial. If you don't think you'll be able to resist the temptations of impulse buying, avoid it. Otherwise, it's possible to get invested in it and enjoy it in the long run.

It can be difficult for small studios to get a good start in the video game business. At Knight's Quest proves it once again. It's not a bitter failure, as there are things to keep, but it's not enough to simply copy the great names of this industry to make a good title. The lack of originality and the chaotic technique got the better of the game for our part. On the other hand, if you are not afraid to play a RPG you have already seen 25 times, the story length and the price might seduce you.

Godfall is a visual success, and it has good fights, as well as countless options to create a knight of your own to meet the high level challenges. Unfortunately, it also did way too much in some areas, overloading the controls and equipment options, while completely forgetting to offer differences between armor classes. The content is lacking, with a limited universe and activities that are excessively repetitive. In the end, we always find ourselves doing the same thing over and over again.

After a very nice first chapter, One Piece Odyssey gets bogged down in a tiring structure that multiplies the back and forth to excess, with numerous narrative cuts that chop up the rhythm of the adventure. The completely out-of-touch combat balancing finished convincing us that Bandai Namco's JRPG didn't have much interesting to offer, except for a few convincingly staged cutscenes. Nevertheless, it is a game that is just neat and addictive enough for hardcore fans of the cult manga to enjoy.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a lazy game, devoid of ambitions. It copies and superficially applies the Souls' recipe, in a way unworthy of the studio to which we owe Nioh. It is a generation or two behind graphically, and its poor gameplay, unbalanced on many levels, doesn't make you want to dwell on it. There are some interesting ideas in the package, but they were so under-exploited that they might as well not exist.

Yoshi's Crafted World finally became a game for children. The best way to enjoy it for an adult is by playing with a young child. The recipe works then, with its excess of cute things and some ideas that should please all those who like to pull stuff to reveal hidden things. Still, the gameplay and the general atmosphere of the title tend to make the set very slow, like the soundtrack made of a single piece recycled on the forty levels of the game.

In terms of true adaptation, Blacksad: Under the Skin is quite successful. The story is gripping and well written, with colorful characters, especially thanks to the voice-over and jazzy soundtrack. But in terms of gaming, the gameplay is heavy, the setting is sad, the glitches unbearable and the investigation mechanics too linear, making us want to watch what seems to be a better feature film than a good game experience. This adventure, although full of choices, treats you like a spectator.

Catan for the Switch could have been a success if one major defect had not been present. Maneuverability, customization of the board, the different game modes — everything has been designed to make the game appeal to all types of players. However, you need a Switch Online subscription to even hope of playing against other players. There is no local multiplayer either, so you can forget about playing with your family or your friends.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood is not devoid of charm, thanks to its rich universe and the possibility to switch from infiltration to combat with the three different forms. It could have been a good game with a further developed RPG aspect, less repetitions, and a more inspired story. Technically speaking, the graphics and animations — including lip-sync — as well as the AI feel outdated for a recent game. As a result, Werewolf is below average, and that's a shame.

Marsupilami is a good entertainment, but it struggles to fully transport us to Palombia. Between its too short life span and its levels that all look the same, we expected much more "twists". However, the colorful universe and the gameplay associated with the genre make the game rather well adapted to the whole family.

It's hard not to think that the Valkyrie series deserved better for its big comeback. Of course, beat them up fans will be able to enjoy the game thanks to an evolving and efficient fighting system, but everything else shows a lack of budget. With strange scenario, limited bestiary and old gen technique, we can only advise you to go through the demo if you plan to pay for it.

Level 5 clearly had a card to play in offering a dungeon crawler for a younger audience, but unfortunately, Snack World is a bad draw. The title quickly becomes boring and despite a few interesting systems, the fun starts running out after a couple of hours. If you are a dungeon crawler enthusiast, keep moving, Snack World won't scratch your itch for exploration.

We're still wondering why Capcom didn't make its new multiplayer title free-to-play from the outset: its early-access content and the presence of a store and a premium combat pass leave no room for carelessness when it comes to the product we're holding in our hands. And despite a catchy concept and cool exoskeletons to hold in your hands, Exoprimal doesn't manage to be interesting for more than a handful of hours, the time it takes to see its 3 maps and take part in the rare original events it offers. It's a big waste of money, and we really don't recommend buying it as is.

Paranoia - Happiness is Mandatory is not a bad game per se. The dystopic universe derived from the tabletop role-playing game is on the contrary rather attractive, even if we lose the multiplayer dimension. But the cynical humor isn't enough to fill simplistic and repetitive graphics as well as a gameplay lacking in action and essentially revolving around the many lines of dialogue.Paranoia - Happiness is Mandatory is not a bad game per se. The dystopic universe derived from the tabletop role-playing game is on the contrary rather attractive, even if we lose the multiplayer dimension. But the cynical humor isn't enough to fill simplistic and repetitive graphics as well as a gameplay lacking in action and essentially revolving around the many lines of dialogue.

Metal Wolf Chaos XD is a very curious game. The humour and tone hits the nail on the head with characters and situations that overflow with old-fashionedness, but on the other hand we are dealing with a game that dates back to 2004. The simplicity of the game design means that after only a few hours we feel like we've done everything the game has to offer — and the awful artistic direction doesn't help matters. Only the effective fight mechanics and the unique tone keeps us on our toes.

Far from being a bad game, One Piece: World Seeker sticks to the fundamentals but never tries to transcend them. Devoid of originality, the title looks like a basic open world on which have been grafted characters from the manga. The title clearly lacks ideas to renew the gameplay, coupled with an overall lack of soul, the result crumbles against the competition.

Seed of Evil adds around ten extra hours to Mutant Year Zero. The gameplay is not improved, nor do the additions have have any impact on the gameplay. We spent a good deal of time cursing at the poor tactical and infiltration mechanics — just as we did in the main game. Despite joy in finding our stylish duck and cynical boar, we can't help but look at this as a lazy DLC that will only appeal to true enthusiasts of the game.

Three anthology titles to be played at least once in your life as a gamer, but not necessarily through this GTA Trilogy which is only definitive in name. The new graphic design and the few gameplay modifications sound like cover for the pile of bugs and problems that completely distort the original material. A mirror to the lures sold at an exorbitant price considering its proposal and still unavailable for PC players at the time of closing this review.

By trying too hard, Crime Boss fails on many points and it's a shame. It has indeed good ideas with its concept of crime management in strategic roguelite, and we want to believe in it, especially with such Hollywood stars accompanied by a neat soundtrack. Unfortunately, everything is only touched upon, and far too succinct. The actors themselves don't seem to feel really involved. If we add to this a technique that can be a bit slow and an old school gameplay, as well as a lack of rhythm and an exacerbated repetitiveness, we understand that Crime Boss has missed its chance. Only the character missions and the 6 mini-campaigns in cooperative mode stand out a bit.

By offering a prequel to his horror-psychological game, Chris Darril has the merit of bringing us a little more precision on the story, while putting a final touch to Rosemary Reed's adventures. It's a pity that the production of the title isn't up to the task and that the gameplay is so tedious — not to mention the inconsistency of the game. Additionally, the numerous bugs sure don't help. There were ideas, but unfortunately, they were not successfully implemented.

While the concept of infiltration in the middle of the medieval era, mixing PvE and PvP, may be appealing, the lack of content and variety may make Hood: Outlaws and Legends quickly boring. Moreover, the catastrophic matchmaking doesn't help, and the infiltration aspect is quickly put aside because of the need to rush while not worrying about dying since you can come back as often as you want. If we add to this the lack of real character customization, guards who are not very attentive and approximative fights, it is not the graphics or the level design of the few proposed maps that will be enough to make up for it.

Although Necromunda has freed itself from the limitations of the original license, it's still a failure. This is due to poor execution at almost every level, as well as a big lack of ambition and content. It's ugly, the interface is heavy, there are bugs everywhere, the modes lack variety and are repetitive, and the AI is slow and overwhelmingly stupid, which ends up killing the fun of the title's solo aspect. It's still possible to have fun against other players however, as its qualities as a turn-based tactical game stand out despite the rest.
