8 / 10.0 - DiRT 5
Apr 18, 2021

DiRT 5 is a good game. Not the best of the series, but far from the worst. It is excessively beautiful and a whole lot of fun. It will please the fan of racing games, but mostly the ones that just like to play from time to time. Those looking for realism will probably pass on that one.

Actraiser Renaissance is a tasty mix of many genres. At the same time a plateformer, a strategy game and a shooter, we can say its his own unique genre. Early adopters will find their way around quite quickly, while newcomers will enjoy it. A very nice tribute to a game that marked its time.

8 / 10.0 - Stray
Jul 30, 2022

Stray is the perfect game to rest. Be in a trance and let yourself be guided by the path in front of you. The game does not ask its player to put himself in a stressful situation. This is not too much in a world where there are many sources of stress and conflict. The puzzles are relatively easy for young and old alike. Well, we agree that if the game asked us to embody a dog it would be even better. Who knows, maybe the idea is already germinating in the studio's head. For now, we'll just purr and bend our backs. And let's not forget the nap. I like naps.

8 / 10.0 - Moss: Book II
Jul 3, 2022

After a very successful first book, we are more than happy to find our little mouse for a new adventure. Keeping the basics that made the first game a success, Moss: Book 2 takes us even further. We quickly see that Polyarc has made the most of PSVR and that it is undoubtedly one of the last good titles on the platform before its future iteration. I hope the studio will continu its great work during Sony's PSVR2 era, because they've proven once again that they're the best at it. It's an absolute must-have for any holder of the virtual reality headset. As long as you still have a PS4 controller if you play on PS5.

The game itself will speak to a very niche group. Because, as everyone knows, metal music is not the most popular thing in the world. But for those who like it, I can tell you that you will have a great time. The game is still short for its price but the interest is always to improve your score in this type of game. This makes it possible to come back to it more than once. And it allows us to know the lyrics of the songs and to appreciate the artists. Lots of headbanging to be expected!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 returns the series to its former glory. I pretty much disliked Vanguard, but this one does much better. We totally understand why the community is so passionate and critical about this new release. After all, Activision delivers bestsellers year after year and, in our opinion, this one will be no exception.

Shovel Knight Dig is a great little game. Small in length but big in quality. It's easy to start a game for a few minutes and come back to it later. It's also easy to lose yourself in a couple of more minutes of gameplay. Once again, a great success from Yacht Club Games that we highly recommend.

River City Girls 2 takes the series to the next level. More frantic fights and devastating combos, the game is a real improvement. The soundtrack is wonderful and you really have a good time. But we won't lie, the game is still expensive and suffers from loading, at least for the version on Nintendo Switch. If you're considering getting it, you might want to consider another version. Unless you don't mind. But know that having tested it on another console, the game probably would have deserved an extra half point. The fact remains that River City Girls 2 is a lot of fun, whether you're playing alone or with your buddies.

If we have to place Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty in the Team Ninja games, I would say that it is below both Nioh but still a good quality game. The game offers good dynamics, plenty of action, respectable but frustrating co-op at times and a good challenge. It is less complete than what Nioh 2 had to offer. But this will not displease those who thought that the previous Team Ninja game was still complex. Frankly, you won't be disappointed if you liked what they did before. For the rest of you, it's best to get properly informed before taking the plunge.

It's hard to really criticize anything in this collection. Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection offers everything a fan of the series could want: all the titles in the series, an online mode, some extra content and a more than acceptable visual quality. Obviously, if you're not a fan of the series, you might as well go on your way. But for those who are interested, this is a good buy and a good title to have in your collection.

8 / 10.0 - Crime O'Clock
Jul 4, 2023

Let's face it, Crime O'Clock is aimed at a discerning audience who enjoy board games and research. We shouldn't expect more from this game, but should we? Not only does this game succeed in its genre, but it also gives us our money's worth with its multiple scenarios. Although you might think that the Nintendo Switch in portable mode would be well suited to the game, I'd still recommend playing it on a TV. Especially as you could then include the family in your games. Charlie has come a long way since then!

8 / 10.0 - Pepper Grinder
Apr 12, 2024

Pepper Grinder is exactly why I'm now more interested in independent games than AAA. The idea of a simple mechanic that is extremely well exploited during a complete game appeals to me more than superior graphics or a never-ending story. Mind you, I'm not saying one is better than the other, but the important thing in any case is to pay attention to the little details and have fun. And that's exactly what I had with Pepper Grinder. A more than enjoyable adventure, a quality time and a final impression good enough for me to recommend it to those around me. And I think that's what makes a game a good game.

Blossom Tales 2 is a good game, but it won't shine since others took the exact same approach and delivered a better experience. However, it could be a good starting point to those new to the genre or a great option for those that beat all the other games of this style and ask for more. Despite its very affordable price, it comes short in innovation to really stand out.

One positive point: the game is really of a higher quality than its predecessor. I had a lot of fun in my Star Ocean: The Divine Force journey and I believe that is the ultimate goal. Granted, the game is far from perfect but this series never was. If you stick with the story, you will definitely enjoy it as well as the personality of the characters, because the writing is so good. Unfortunately, I've also strained my eyes more often than I care to admit. For the role-playing enthusiast, I believe it deserves your attention.

Convergence doesn't revolutionize anything in a genre that has seen almost everything before. Despite this, the game introduces some interesting elements without ever fully exploiting them. You don't have to be the biggest League of Legends fan to appreciate what's happening on screen. And for the price, the game offers a good lifespan without prolonging it for nothing. The platforming phases are the best part, unlike the combat phases, which are harder to follow. Maybe it's my age too. I'm getting old.

7.5 / 10.0 - Gunbrella
Sep 13, 2023

The question I asked myself after my adventure with Gunbrella was: did the game live up to my expectations? The answer is half-hearted. One, because my expectations were very high, I must admit. And two, if I'm impartial, Gunbrella is far from perfect. But if I have to paint an overall picture, I'd say I enjoyed my time with the game. The umbrella-gun mechanic is a fine innovation, and the story is intriguing all the same. But the game has its problems with the controls and its bland soundtrack. It won't be one of the best games of the year, but it won't be a failure either. It's a good game that I enjoyed. And sometimes, that's enough.

Wonder Boy : Asha in the Monster World was an excellent game back in 1994. Unfortunately, today's remake isn't spicy enough. The game is a classic, but it fails to stand out in today's world especially considering the heavy competition on the market. It's mainly good for the nostalgia if your heart really wants to give it a go.

Ninja Gaiden : Master Collection doesn't offer anything exceptionnal. You get three good games that received visual enhancements and faster loading times. Despite the fact that all the DLC content is also included, it would've been more interesting to add a couple of new elements for the fans. Nevertheless, it's a pretty sweet deal for the price if you're looking for a good challenge.

It's a narrative game from start to finish with very little interaction required of you. And when they do come, the various choices will not change the result at all. However, the story is intriguing and will keep you hooked until the end and the visual style is sublime. It would be nice to say a lot more about the game but in all honesty, there is not much to add. The game ends rather quickly (about 3 hours) and whether it's your time of game or not, is entirely up to you. As for me, I recommend it for fans of the genre.

7 / 10.0 - Kao the Kangaroo
May 28, 2022

Kao the Kangaroo will not go down in history, I think you probably guessed it. We have to admit that it represents an interesting and still accessible challenge for people who are new to the genre. Your children could find it a lot of fun and it could prepare them to tackle little more fleshed out games. It's absolutely nothing mean-spirited towards Kao the Kangaroo but just like the other games in the series, it lacks something to elevate it to the level of the best games in the genre. Its lifespan of about 8 hours is more than reasonable and that's why it can be interesting for newer gamers.
