    Ghost of Tsushima
    With its satisfying gameplay and solid lifespan (about 30-40 hours), Ghost of Tsushima is another quality exclusive for the PS4. It knows how to reuse mechanics and fundamentals established by other licenses, and give them its own personal touch. And what a touch. It's not just an Assassin's Creed in Japan: it has its own visual code and almost cinematographic atmosphere, and the sublime island of Tsushima naturally replaces some of the interface elements. The whole game is infused with poetry, which is rather bold for a mainstream title. However, we regret the big weaknesses on a few fundamental points, as it lacks variety regarding the points of interest, the fights and especially the duels, which, combined with an ill-fitting difficulty, wearied us at the end. Nevertheless, it remains a very good experience and a game full of personality.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
    First of all, its campaign: exceptional and very long-lasting, the developers have succeeded in mixing gruffness and subtlety, and we're not in a race for action at any price. The HQ system is a nice touch, allowing you to learn more about past history and characters, and the storyline is admittedly out of the ordinary. What's more, the work done on the environments is quite insane, and on PS5 we had no texture problems whatsoever. As for Multiplayer and Zombies, there will certainly be some happy and some unhappy players, but as far as we're concerned, there's not much to say except that we loved them! They both have a lot of potential, and the changes like TTK and the new maps are great. It remains to be seen whether the developers will support them in the future.

    Life is Strange 2: Episode 5 - Wolves
    Wolves is wrapping up this season beautifully. The artistic direction is still as charming as ever, as is the soundtrack, which takes us away despite some overlapping dialogues and some freezes. The confined spaces have issues in terms of selecting items, and the title emphasizes on the show more than usual, at the expense of the player's involvement, as he turns into a spectator. Nevertheless, it plays so well with our feelings and emotions that we let ourselves be carried away without any problem.

    Astro's Playroom
    Astro's Playroom is a game that can be experienced with a lot of simplicity and without any particular expectations. It will surprise you during the few hours of gameplay it offers, and will allow you to learn more about the generations of PlayStation consoles as well as the DualSense controller's features. This is a great surprise from the creative and generous ASOBI development team and is a great way to start a long adventure with the next generation of PS5 games!

    Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled
    If you experienced Crash Team Racing first time round, then this remake will surely make you dizzy. It may alter your vision or judgment of the game, given it's so rich, subtle, captivating, catchy, generous and beautiful. CTR is a fairly typical game in the genre and doesn't reinvent anything, but it does perform like a beast in everything it does offer. It's an excellent carting title with a strong personality and gameplay that is perfectly balanced, but not enough to scream 'revolution', either.

    Blasphemous 2
    Blasphemous 2 is a successful blend of Metroidvania and design elements from From Software's games. Without reinventing the wheel on any score, The Game Kitchen delivers a clean copy with an engaging concept, satisfying progression and successful art direction.

    Kena: Bridge of Spirits
    With a charming and nice adventure, Kena Bridge of Spirits invites us in a cute and dark world. The gameplay is rather simple but offers interesting mechanics that allow you to have a good time no matter what happens. With tons of resources to collect and an original scenario, Kena is clearly the kind of independent title that you want to finish. And this is perhaps its biggest strength: a relaxing game, with a challenge, that you want to finish at 100%. In the end, Kena doesn't invent much but offers a beautiful and memorable journey.

    Splatoon 3
    Nintendo does not take any risks with a Splatoon 3 that is far too close to its predecessor on many points, a predecessor that a sequel that was already lacking in notable novelties compared to the original WiiU title. This is all the more frustrating as the gameplay is still very pleasant to play and the charm of this very special formula remains intact. As far as content is concerned, if we put aside the new weapons, it's mainly the solid single player campaign full of good ideas that manages to raise the bar of this lackluster episode.

    Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
    Konami is playing it cool with this remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, one of the most popular episodes in the series, presented here in a luxurious package. The work of the Japanese publisher and Virtuos gives Snake a nice facelift under Unreal Engine 5, while retaining what made the 2004 release so appealing. Very short and too easy in normal difficulty mode, MGS Delta is a title that needs to be explored several times to fully appreciate its gameplay, which is much deeper and more interesting than it first appears.

    Two Point Campus
    Two Point Campus is an accessible management game that will delight casual players for its humor, its clear and pleasant ergonomics and especially for the successful feeling of making a university evolve. Regular players, on the other hand, will quickly exhaust the game mechanics and get bored because of the lack of challenge.

    Stray
    Unfortunately, the life span of Stray is limited to the number of lives the cats can have. Indeed, we finished the game at 100% in a little less than 9 hours. We estimate that 7 hours will be more than enough to finish the main plot of the game, or even 10 hours for players who will take their time to contemplate each painting offered by the game. In a way, Stray's rather affordable price is in line with its lifespan. The more skilled players may even take less time to finish the game, so it's quite a shame. Stray is a fabulous title that offers a refreshing environment, a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat and meticulous exploration that makes you want more, but our beautiful journey ends when we clearly want more.

    Observer: System Redux
    Observer: System Redux is a clear improvement of the original game by giving it the graphic engine of the most recent Bloober Team games. The three new investigations deepen the themes of the game and this is good news as the universe of Observer is thought-provoking. The slightly shaky infiltration phases of the original version are still present and the way Bloober Team creates a horrific atmosphere based on jumpscares and aggressive staging is still a bit tiring. Observer has enough trump cards up its sleeve to offer a solid cyberpunk thriller to fans of the genre.

    Little Nightmares II
    Little Nightmares II honors its predecessor by taking up the basic concepts convincingly, while bringing some new features — such as NPCs helping you and melee combat. Even if the controllability isn't flawless and some technical imperfections remain, this doesn't take away from the high level of the game's artistic direction. The soundtrack alone manage to create a gloomy and uncomfortable atmosphere, all within a wide variety of environments — and some iconic enemies.

    Age of Mythology: Retold
    Age of Mythology was a banger for its time, and even today it remains a good game for RTS fans, especially those who appreciate a slightly slower gameplay system than Warcraft/Starcraft. Only Retold offers little more than graphical improvements and a slightly reworked campaign. The new game mode to be added post-launch may change this opinion, but today, it's hard to see a compelling reason to buy this version.

    Triangle Strategy
    With Triangle Strategy Artdink fails to dethrone the legends Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. However, it accomplishes its mission brilliantly, offering an experience very close to its two illustrious models, while bringing some ingredients of its own. With the balance of judgment, Triangle Strategy manages to differentiate itself by relying heavily on persuasion and interesting moral choices, even if it means being far too talkative.

    Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion
    The release of Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion is excellent news for all the fans of what has become a full-fledged franchise, thanks to the phenomenal success of FFVII. But be careful, you have to know what you're getting into: if the remaster allows you to enjoy this prequel with a new visual comfort, the few adjustments made by the developers are not enough to hide the great age of a formula. For the endearing piece of history it offers, fans should be able to get past it, but it might be much more complicated for everyone else.

    Ape Out
    Ape Out is grueling. Constantly, all in movement and speed, the game will make you live something very satisfying. It is like a little walk before turning into a jam-session that will seem very messy from a distance, for the uninitiated. You'll enjoy replaying it, in the manner of a single good vinyl.

    Katana ZERO
    Katana ZERO is a real success. A cryptic scenario well brought on, very fine gameplay, generous without being frustrating, the visuals are delightful, the soundtrack is funny and everything is magestically orchestrated. It is difficult to blame anything after the baby of Askiisoft, maybe a lack of a Time Attack mode that would match perfectly with the genre.

    Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    If you're looking for a game to keep you busy while you wait for the next Animal Crossing, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar might be just what you need. It's a game that lets you live a relaxing life on a farm without any stress, taking your time to achieve your goals. However, it may also bore you if you don't like doing repetitive tasks.

    Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun - Aiko's Choice
    With Aiko's Choice, Mimimi delivers a good extension for Shadow Tactics with three neat missions that offer us a challenge strong enough to exploit all the mechanics set up. On the other hand, there is nothing new in terms of gameplay. This makes it more of a pack of additional missions. That said, the care given to the missions and the richness of the tactical situations allows once again to rack your brains in this excellent infiltration game that is Shadow Tactics.

    Grounded
    Grounded offers a survival game that is both fun and accessible, without taking the player by the hand. The difficulty is present, without being punishing, and the progression is really satisfying through this gigantic garden, which manages to mix beauty and arachnid horrors. It's an interesting adventure, whether you're playing single or multiplayer, and we can't help but recommend trying it out, even to those who usually ignore survival games.

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous
    Although rather conventional in content and form, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is definitely the new role-playing game to put in the hands of all fans of the genre. By the richness of its gameplay, with a large number of builds, an alignment system for roleplay, crusade and kingdom management, as well as its dense content. Owlcat's new production is exciting in many ways, and even if it is not completely without flaws, it will keep you busy for a long time.

    Pokemon Legends: Arceus
    Pokémon Legends Arceus is clearly not the title we were hoping for but it is worth the detour. It is important to talk about the aging graphics that too often spoil the pleasure of exploration or the battles against the Monarchs that are not very interesting. And yet, this is a revolution in the franchise. We can only congratulate the addictive gameplay and the new mechanics available. The new, fluid way of capturing Pokémon and moving around is quite simply the best addition. All in all, it's a huge Pokémon adventure that you shouldn't miss for its intriguing storyline, its fun progression system, its tons of side activities and its superb OST.

    Helldivers 2
    Helldivers 2 is by far the most fun we've had with multiplayer in recent years, and Arrowhead Game Studios has really created something special here. It's absolutely addictive to dive into the action again and again, validating objectives under a deluge of explosions and enemies. Unfortunately, many flaws seriously spoil the party, even months after release. Each new update introduces new bugs, while many of those present since release are still present, as are the huge performance problems. The studio has also shot itself in the foot by nerfing the most effective and popular weapons with each patch, rather than seeking to make the dozens of others interesting.

    The First Berserker: Khazan
    Khazan is pure hardcore souls-like, with gameplay and progression systems that add to the classic formula, and the final result is really enjoyable to play. Neople's game is visually appealing, with a dark fantasy universe halfway between Dark Souls and Berserk, and very well-polished Tales of art direction. An excellent, addictive game that doesn't reinvent the formula, but remains solid enough to be one of the best games of the new year. It will nevertheless slow down some players who get tired of being destroyed by certain bosses, but the satisfaction at the end is well worth the hundreds of times you see the Game Over screen.

    The Plucky Squire
    Plucky Squire is a charming adventure that lacks just a “little something” to make it truly magical. Packed with visual and gameplay discoveries, All Possible Futures' software doesn't take enough time to delve into its universe, its characters and its 3D phases, which are well integrated into the rest of Jolt' epic. These shortcomings prevent the journey from being a memorable one, but make no mistake: this is still a very fine videogame tale, calibrated for the whole family.

    Lies of P
    Lies of P emulates FromSoftware's games with skill, style and just a hint of originality. Nevertheless, it sometimes inherits the rigidity of the old titles it takes as a model. It might have done better to move away from this to offer more distinctive gameplay, and to avoid distracting the player with a patchwork of familiar elements and references - it gets to the point where it's just too much. It does manage to stand out in other ways, however, as the game looks great, with settings and characters bursting with personality, as do the music choices. Overall, the result is really good, and it's an excellent game in this specific genre, and we'd highly recommend it if difficulty doesn't scare you.

    Marvel's Midnight Suns
    Marvel's Midnight Suns offers gameplay that should not be underestimated, it is rich, fun and satisfying. Fans of TCGs and tactical puzzles should also appreciate its high replayability. The social RPG aspect of the abbey also proved to be much more interesting than expected, but the poor graphics seriously hinder the immersion. On the other hand, the exploration of the territories around the abbey turns out to be heavy and uninteresting. The result is a very contrasted game, which will not please everyone, but which clearly deserves to be played.

    Resident Evil Village
    Despite a soft underbelly of a handful of hours in the middle of the game, Resident Evil Village brilliantly continues the path set by RE7, successfully infusing it with the DNA of RE4. Thanks to its technique and its story (but not its narration), the latest canonical episode of Capcom's successful license has all the necessary arguments to please both the series' regulars and newcomers. A ten-hour adventure that will give Ethan Winters a run for his money and that we highly recommend.

    Disgaea 4 Complete+
    Disgaea is a great Tactical RPG series, and this fourth episode is considered by many to be THE best of the five. While the addition of a couple of scenarios and playable characters increases the playtime even more, the high price is not justified for a game originally released in 2011. The Complete + edition will mainly target fans of the series missing the additional content offered by A Promise Revisited on the PlayStation Vita. For newcomers ready to engage in a complete and complex gameplay, an exceptional adventure awaits them.
