Dispatch presents a stylish, cinematic narrative adventure with strong visuals, an outstanding voice cast, and a clever blend of interactive storytelling and light team-management mechanics. The episodic structure builds mood and character well, but the replayability is limited, dialog skipping would help, and a few bugs disrupt the flow. Very good overall.

Football Manager 26 delivers a bold reboot: a new Unity engine, revamped interface, and inclusion of women’s football all signal a major leap. The match visuals are sharper and clubs feel more alive. However, long-time fans may struggle with the unfamiliar navigation, the lighter hands-on control, and lingering odd animations. Overall it’s a promising foundation, even if it isn’t flawless yet.

A beautifully remastered version of the classic tower-defense that keeps its charm intact. With upgraded visuals, vibrant colours and two new local multiplayer modes, it’s still as fun and slick as ever. That said, it doesn’t break new ground or overhaul the gameplay, so longtime fans may find it comfortably familiar but not daring.

NASCAR 25 delivers a serious, authentic racing experience from iRacing Studios. The career mode now begins in lower tiers and requires real effort to climb to the top, while the on-track physics and opponent behavior shine in simulation-style realism. Some of the management systems and online features feel shallow or under-developed, and the journey is more grind than spectacle — but the foundation is strong.

EA FC 26 is a good vintage, without being a masterpiece. It's an edition that exudes stability and a willingness to listen. The additions are intelligent, the gameplay is more nuanced, and the return to a more realistic pace makes offline games more interesting again. The animations have improved, Career mode is slowly getting better, and Ultimate Team mode, despite its flaws, remains addictive. For its part, the Switch 2 version confirms that EA finally seems to be taking the portability of its franchise seriously. Overall, longtime players will probably feel that there aren't enough new features. This is more of a transitional installment than a revolution.

Dying Light: The Beast is a solid return for the franchise. It capitalizes on its historical strengths, such as fluid parkour, a thrilling day/night cycle, and brutal combat, and adds the welcome return of Kyle Crane. It's an adventure that works, that's fun to play, and that reminds us why the series made such an impression on gamers. However, its limitations are obvious. The story doesn't really take off, the secondary characters are too much in the background, the progression is simplified, and the new features are poorly exploited. The title is both a pleasant and frustrating experience. Pleasant because it's good at what it does, but frustrating because it never dares to do more.

Formula Legends immediately captivates with its distinctive visual style and surprises with its depth of gameplay, which is much richer than expected. However, its demanding nature, rigid artificial intelligence, and collision management detract from part of the experience. Each session leaves you with the impression of having experienced a daring and innovative title, but also of having faced frustrations that could have been avoided. Nevertheless, it will certainly find its niche audience, although it would have been interesting to make it more accessible to newcomers.

Gaucho and the Grassland is not your typical farming simulator. It has a strong cultural identity, a respect for folklore, and a gentle atmosphere that make it unique in its genre. It's rare to have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a world so steeped in Latin American traditions, and in this respect, it's a great success. However, its limitations are clear. The repetitiveness of the quests, the lack of clarity of certain objectives, and the numerous technical bugs prevent the game from shining in all its glory. Its charm, sincerity, and cultural richness are more than enough to justify diving into it, especially if you like this kind of game. You just have to accept the limitations of the experience.

Firefighting Simulator: Ignite is a confirmation for the license. The game refines the formula of the first episode, corrects its flaws, and offers a richer, more intense, and more credible experience. You can feel both the routine of a firefighter and the adrenaline rush of fighting fires. Of course, not everything is perfect. The fire station sometimes lacks life, a few technical details remind us that this isn't a AAA game, and the narrative content remains limited. However, as soon as you put on your uniform and hear the crackling of the flames, you won't be able to tear yourself away. Fans of immersive simulations will definitely get their money's worth.

NHL 26 continues what was started last year. Little by little, EA Sports developers are tackling the different modes while adjusting gameplay. This time around, it was Be a Pro mode's turn for a makeover. It clearly stands out from the crowd and gives players a real reason to dive back in. The game itself is becoming more realistic, the goalies are finally more believable, and the X-Factors add a welcome layer of strategy. Not to mention that HUT mode offers a breath of fresh air. However, if you buy the game every year, it feels like the rest of the experience is stagnating without ever taking it to the next level.

Mafia: The Old Country is a return to its roots that fully embraces its narrative shift. Its compelling story, sumptuous environments, and impeccable voice acting make it a memorable experience. However, its overly cautious gameplay, occasionally shaky technical aspects, and lack of freedom to explore prevent it from reaching excellence. It's a game to be savored like a good television series. While not perfect, it's clear that Hangar 13 has understood what made the first games so successful. Here's hoping they'll have the opportunity to continue this franchise in the future.

PATAPON 1+2 REPLAY allows you to relive the emotions of yesteryear, the rigorous mechanics, and the unique universe of this cult series. However, I regret that nothing has been done to improve the experience or bring it up to date. Admittedly, there are now a few accessibility options, but nothing that would modernize the franchise. Nevertheless, I hope that it will be a success so that we can perhaps look forward to a new episode in the future.

Yakuza 0 Director's Cut is, as its name suggests, the best version for enjoying the experience imagined by the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio team. The game has been optimized to the max to give Nintendo Switch 2 owners a stable and superior experience compared to other consoles. It's the perfect introduction to the unique and fascinating world of the franchise. However, those who have already completed the game may not be convinced by the 30 minutes of added cutscenes (which remain somewhat anecdotal) or the exclusive multiplayer mode. Clearly, I recommend the title to anyone who has never had the opportunity to play the game in the past.

This Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is a declaration of love to enthusiasts. It's a playground for combo addicts, and a great gateway for a new generation of players. The Iron Galaxy studio has even added a few new features without altering the original experience. Nevertheless, the changes to the soundtrack and the altered structure of the 4th opus could disappoint a portion of the community. Fortunately, the overall picture is made up for by the excellent visual realization and consistently excellent gameplay.

Stellar Blade on PC isn't just a simple port: it's the ultimate version of the experience. With its graphical customization, enhanced fluidity and compatibility with several scaling technologies, this version takes full advantage of the capabilities of modern machines. If the story doesn't change, this is clearly the best way to enjoy the experience. I do, however, regret the few optimization issues, which I hope will be addressed in a future update. I particularly recommend the game to those who haven't yet had the chance to complete the adventure.

REMATCH is the archetypal game that arrives with a clear vision, solid execution, but still stumbles over a few technical and structural details. It doesn't set out to reinvent everything, but it does so with such sincerity that we can only applaud the effort. The result is an addictive proposition that can appeal to neophytes and experts alike. If the developers correct the current problems and improve the offering, the game could well become a must-have on the competitive scene.

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is not a game that revolutionizes anything. It's an experience that knows exactly what it wants to offer, and does so generously. The title takes the gamble of mixing genres, game styles and rhythms, and surprisingly succeeds in creating a coherent, generous and, above all, deeply engaging experience. Despite a few minor hiccups in the legibility of objectives and a slightly dated art direction, the game offers a unique experience, somewhere between relaxation and progression. And the Nintendo Switch 2 version offers real added comfort.

RoadCraft won't please everyone. It's slow, methodical and sometimes temperamental. However, for those who like demanding simulation experiences, with a real learning curve and gratification at every step, it's a work in progress well worth the detour. Despite its technical shortcomings and some questionable parameter choices, the game rests on a solid foundation, thought through with seriousness and passion. Clearly, this time we have a worthy successor to SnowRunner.

Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping is a sequel that retains the essence of the first episode, while adding more polished writing and a more nuanced atmosphere. Although the easier puzzles and shorter duration may leave players wanting more, the charm of Duck Detective is still there, thanks to a delicious sense of humor and meticulous art direction. The fluidity of the narrative means you can really enjoy the adventure, even if it leaves you wanting more. With an ending that leaves the door open to a potential sequel, we can only hope for a much more ambitious follow-up.

The Precinct is an experience that deserves the attention of fans of investigative and action games. Its original idea and meticulous art direction compensate in part for the gameplay's shortcomings and the artificial intelligence's lack of depth. Despite a certain repetitiveness, the game offers a successful immersion in the daily life of a policeman, paying homage to the classics while adding a touch of modernity. I see this as a great improvement on the studio's previous game. The team seems to have found a formula that can be refined. It's not a masterpiece, but it's an honest game, sincere in its approach, and deserves the attention of fans of the genre.
