Taiko no Tatsujin has always been a fun rhythm game. The new Rhythm Festival series is the best entry point for beginners who want to learn more about Bandai Namco's music game, but there are still some concerns about the model chosen for paying for the many additional tracks not found in the basic edition.

6.3 / 10.0 - Ark of Charon
Nov 12, 2024

Ark of Charon is a game that on paper might have good potential to entertain, but on its own fails to offer much more than an inspired and polished graphic design. Its gameplay would have needed much more refinement, and its technical side also leaves a lot to be desired. We hope that Ark of Charon will be a necessary step for Angoo Inc. to offer more polished new works in the future.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is an action RPG with extremely fun gameplay, especially in the combat phase. The main plot and characters fail to captivate the player from the start, but if we give the narrative the right amount of time, we will have a compelling script and interesting teammates on our hands. Visually, The Veilguard is a spectacle, with its effects-laden abilities and postcard fantasy world design. One unfortunately gets the feeling of being led by the developers' hand a little too much, but on balance this is a very good product.

Vampire Survivors' new DLC, Ode to Castlevania, continues the trend of evolving ideas from the base game, with a huge map to explore, new characters and some of the best boss battles to date. If you're a fan of Konami's saga, it's a must-have DLC.

The porting of Red Dead Redemption is finally available on PC! For many gamers, the arrival of John Marston's adventures represents the capture of the mythical white whale, and just as many had given up hope that the Rockstar western would finally land on computer. It's a pity about the launch price, as the €50 charged for a 14-year-old game would have been better justified against a more substantial restoration work. Nevertheless, we can finally enjoy one of the great masterpieces of gaming history on PC, and this is the most important news.The porting of Red Dead Redemption is finally available on PC!

Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is an expansion that brings more than a breath of fresh air to Blizzard's hack ‘n slash. Admittedly, many of the new features come from the previous season's updates, but the solid base has been supplemented with some well-crafted innovations, the most important of which is the Spiritist. The new class enjoys exciting gameplay and animations, and is a lot of fun to use. We are left with some questions about the direction Blizzard wants to take: what is Diablo IV for the US development house? A hack ‘n slash or an MMO? It is time to make a clear decision.

On the whole, the expansion does not bring many new features, quite the contrary. Instead, it gives us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in a mysterious world and its lore. We finally have a cohesive, hand-created game world again, and no longer one that is procedurally created. Shattered Space certainly deserves a chance, but we remain very dubious about Bethesda's asking price for additional content that lasts no more than 15 hours.

For all fans of Persona 3: Reload, Episode Aigis is a rather interesting piece of content worth buying, but for those who couldn't quite get into the basic experience, this DLC is avoidable. It is an expansion that struggles to justify its existence, a task that seems impossible considering the spectacular ending of Persona 3: Reload, but it is not without merit.

God of War Ragnarok arrives on PC after almost two years, and does so in the best possible way. The porting is excellent, option-rich and very light. It's hard to tear yourself away from the adventures of Kratos and Atreus, both for the deep storyline and for gameplay that never ceases to amuse. It's just a shame about that one login too many...

8.5 / 10.0 - The Plucky Squire
Sep 21, 2024

The Plucky Squire is a game that can surprise without necessarily reinventing the wheel. The ruse of the book as the basis for Jot's adventures is a great idea and paves the way for interesting game mechanics. The All Possible Futures have made good use of these possibilities, offering a fresh and entertaining title.

Broken Sword - Secret of the Templars: Reforged is more than just a remake: it is a true work of restoration, allowing the adventures of George Stobbard to be rediscovered in the way Charles Cecil conceived them in 1996. The story, despite almost thirty years since its release, is still perfectly enjoyable, and the new gameplay modes allow Secret of the Templars to keep up with the latest productions.

The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection offers an incredible experience for fans of the series, with memorable characters, intriguing mysteries, plot twists and remastered graphics. And what more could we ask for as we don the stylish shoes of Miles Edgeworth?

Castlevania Dominus Collection is a re-release of the three classic games in the Konami-made vampire slayer series released for the Nintendo DS: Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia. These are joined by the Haunted Castle arcade and its remastered version. Definitely a great bundle, allowing you to rediscover some fun titles at a very reasonable price.

Big content and many small changes. Age of Mythology: Retold is a tribute to fans of the genre who have waited too long for the return of Microsoft's legendary strategy game. Βούλομαι!

8.4 / 10.0 - DOOM + DOOM II
Aug 16, 2024

DOOM 1 + 2 is the definitive edition of the masterpiece created by id Software, and fruit of the genius of John Carmack and John Romero. The list of updates is enormous: support for modern resolutions, achievements, multiplayer... You name it. It's time to return to Mars and exterminate the infernal hordes!

Skelethrone: The Chronicles of Ericona proposes the now customary marriage of metroidvania and soulslike, but struggles to emerge with an originality of its own. Neither its gameplay nor its artistic component help it in this regard. We hope that the developer will make the best of this debut, and that he will come back in the future with more experience and inspiration.

7.8 / 10.0 - Linkito
Jul 26, 2024

Linkito is a good puzzle game that adopts mechanics similar to the Zachtronics games. The dystopian setting adds an appealing layer to the game, and the level editor makes it potentially endless.

7.3 / 10.0 - Été
Jul 24, 2024

Été is an extremely relaxing representation of a painter's studio trip. We do not just paint and sell our pictures, but it is up to us to colour the entire world we live in. It is a pity that the technical component is not sufficiently polished, which sometimes undermines the gaming experience.

9.1 / 10.0 - Nobody Wants to Die
Jul 19, 2024

Nobody Wants to Die is an adventure game that puts us in the whiskey-stained shoes of James Karra, a hard-boiled detective living in a dystopian future where nobody really dies. The Polish guys from Critical Hit have debuted with a bang, offering us an enthralling story that, when it allows us to play, also surprises us with some excellent gameplay solutions. We can only recommend that you delve into the technological and philosophical mysteries of Nobody Wants to Die!

7.3 / 10.0 - Anger Foot
Jul 12, 2024

Anger Foot is a light-hearted game that recalls the gameplay and mood of Hotline Miami, but from a new and original perspective. Kicking thugs is a lot of fun, but our concerns remain about a soundtrack that is far too intrusive. A few performance issues also remain, for which we await corrective patches.
