It's hard to hide our disappointment with Aphelion, which stands as the very definition of an average game. While there's nothing fundamentally bad or failed about Don't Nod's title, there's still plenty of room for improvement on many levels, which inevitably leaves us with a bitter aftertaste once the adventure is over. We're left with the feeling that we've missed out on what could have been a great adventure, one whose good ideas, though present, weren't properly developed by the studio.

As expected, SAROS stands out as a worthy spiritual successor to Returnal, and even more so. Far from resting on its laurels, Housemarque has successfully built upon the solid foundation of its previous title to deliver an epic adventure, enhanced by new features that make it accessible to a wider audience. While more accessible, SAROS remains a challenging yet exhilarating experience that delivers incredible thrills. This makes it a new must-have in the PS5 catalog, which once again boasts one of its best exclusives thanks to the Finnish studio.

Twelve years after Crash Bandicoot’s last original adventure on home consoles, Activision and Toys for Bob have embarked on a gamble as risky as ambitious : to bring the famous orange marsupial back to the forefront of the video game scene with an episode paying homage to the original trilogy of the 90s. A challenge that worried more than one after the many years of wandering that the series knew. But for our greatest happiness : the bet is raised hands down. With Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, Toys for Bob undoubtedly delivers us one of the best episodes released to date and proves us at the same time that it’s never too late to revive the icon of a whole generation. Whether through its story, its gameplay or its artistic direction, this new adventure appears with every minute passing as a true love letter to Naughty Dog’s work. And we can say it… it was about time !
