Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, eagerly awaited, was like a Kamehameha straight from our hands, the fruit of our exaltation, many sleepless nights to unlock the entire roster and the cumulative pleasure of playing, playing and playing some more. The title isn't perfect, and suffers from a few optimization issues that may be the result of certain choices made by the development team, but it's still great. Since Dragon Ball Fighter Z, we've lacked a title that could renew the license with such freshness, and this is a stunning return for the Budokai Tenkaichi saga !

God of War Ragnarok follows its predecessor's path for its PC port, offering players the best version of the adventures of Kratos and Atreus. Of course the game takes advantage of the power of PCs and their exclusive technologies to push even further the visual quality, yet already impressive on PlayStation 5: native 4k, framerate unlocked, DLSS or FSR are particularly in the game to offer optimal performance for the vast majority of configurations.

9 / 10 - Silent Hill 2
Oct 4, 2024

Silent Hill 2 Remake is a sensational comeback for the franchise and Bloober Team''s best game to date. Far from being just an opportunistic game, it is both a love letter to the saga and a successful retelling of the original one. Faithful and very different, this new game modernizes psychological horror without ever abandoning its old-school roots. Silent Hill 2 Remake is deeply scary and stressful. Besides being very good remake it is simply an excellent survival horror that honors the license and gives us great hope for the future.

Despite a prologue that puts us on the edge of our seats thanks to an oppressive atmosphere imbued with mysticism, Shattered Space leaves the feeling of a "lazy" DLC that doesn't go to the end of its ideas.

If we take its physics, gameplay and map, then Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is really a good racing game. Pleasant to handle, both with the controller and the steering wheel, the game knows how to offer good sensations within its varied environment and its successful reconstruction. The RPG aspect specific to the series is once again present, clearly distinguishing the game from the competition with a more composed approach and a progression that takes its time. It is obvious that Solar Crown will not suit all player profiles with its management going against the current productions, an element to be taken into account. But at the moment, it is particularly complicated to recommend the purchase of one, as it has suffered from deep problems that are being resolved.

8 / 10 - Frostpunk 2
Oct 1, 2024

Frostpunk 2 brilliantly continues the legacy of the first game by deepening moral dilemmas and adding complex political mechanisms. Every decision matters, whether it's to satisfy a faction or meet the immediate needs of the city. The game asks a fundamental question: how far are you willing to go for your society to thrive in a frozen world? If you enjoyed the first Frostpunk or appreciate games that blend strategy with moral reflection, Frostpunk 2 is a must-play.

Ara: History Untold is a great discovery, with a solid foundation and excellent ideas. Thanks to its attention to detail, comprehensive city management, and numerous unique features (territory management, a non-traditional turn-based system, etc.), this 4X game has all the makings of a must-play.

8 / 10 - NBA 2K25
Sep 24, 2024

Every year, the NBA 2K saga poses as the high priestess of sports game simulations. It is difficult to envisage, when the basic recipe remains the same, that the outcome will change this year.

You don't change a winning team and that's almost exactly what EA Sports FC 25 offers us this season.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is not a remake and a simple remaster. You'll find everything exactly as it was in 2006 but with better graphics. Even if it's still fun to kill hundreds of zombies, the gameplay, the controls, the structure and some technical aspects are painfully outdated. The game has truly aged badly and could have benefited from a deeper work by taking some of the evolutions of the next installments.

7 / 10 - Cat Quest III
Sep 14, 2024

Cat Quest 3 is a proposal in line with what Gentlebros had accustomed us to with the first two opuses of the license. The game loses some of the scope of the second installment. However, the call for adventure is there, reinforced by a sense of humor that wins us over. The story is short, but the ease of exploration makes you want to explore the open-world further. With two players, the pleasure is doubled. It's a pity that the legibility of combat is lost in multiplayer. Likewise, the quest system is being fine-tuned, but still needs to be consolidated to be effective. For around twenty euros, this third installment is well worth a look, if only to spend some quality time with family and friends, or even just for the pleasure of having some mindless fun with a game.

9 / 10 - Astro Bot
Sep 5, 2024

Astro Bot is an ultra-efficient platformer, but more than that. More than just a PlayStation tribute game, it's an experience in its own right. A Madeleine de Proust that will appeal to the little gamer in all of us. Far removed from the violence of many of today's AAA games, this is an outpouring of love for video games, and for PlayStation too, of course. In this sense, DualSense is more than ever in the spotlight, and all the better for it. We'd totally forgotten about its functionality, as the poor thing is generally under-exploited. Gameplay is a clear winner here, and you'll even find yourself experimenting with the hyper-calibrated haptic feedback. All in all, Astro Bot offers a dynamic, well-paced game that continually renews itself. There are a few glitches where skills, game sequences and OST use are repeated, but that's just nitpicking. In reality, it's a blast and leaves you wanting more. Astro Bot has a message, one that reminds us of what's essential: have fun, enjoy yourself and love video games. And for that, it's a total success.

If you're an absolute fan of Warhammer 40,000, missing out on Space Marine 2 would be pure heresy.

Frank's casting is a good adaptation of the Dead by Daylight universe for a single-player game. In particular, we appreciate the references and the way the lore has been integrated. Also the deaths are very graphic which is a good thing. Unfortunately, there are the same shortcomings as in other Supermassive Games games: too few plot differences, pacing problems and a lack of empathy for the characters. You'll spend a pleasant evening alone or with others, but that's as far as it goes.

5 / 10 - Concord
Aug 31, 2024

Concord is not a horrible game or an industrial accident, but it is not up to other competitors. Even more after eight years of development. If the SF universe and the mood The Guardians of the Galaxy are interesting at first, it would have been better exploited with a solo mode annex for example. Although the variety of heroes and their skills is one of the qualities of the title, we regret the relative softness of the set, the lack of sensations of some powers and originality in the modes. In the end, after a few hours, and except for this test, we have trouble thinking that we will play it again.

Age of Mythology Retold is a true nostalgic delight that will remind many players of the great times spent on the family PC, between school assignments or after an afternoon snack. It belongs to that category of titles that are unlikely to leave the podium of the best strategy games anytime soon.

For its first shot in the beloved galaxy far, far away, Ubisoft Massive makes a convincing show of Force, in an open world formula relatively well adapted. At its best, Star Wars Outlaws is a very good blend between action-adventure and stealth games, especially thanks to the adorable addition of Nix. It's also one of the most beautiful and immersive Star Wars games to date, that pays a lovely tribute to this monument of the pop-culture. The whole experience is although marred by a conventional story, with rather cliché characters, some frustrating bug mostly rare bugs, and the terrible AI that has plagued Ubisoft games for years. Nevertheless, this is definitely a good Star Wars Games, which could spark a new hope for the return of Ubisoft at its peak.

If one word can summurise Black Myth Wukong, it would be : generous. In both good and bad. Game Science's title is indeed a beautiful adventure paying a convincing tribute to the mythical Journey to the West. We really feel like a mighty hero of the Chinese legends, in an epic saga that crushes us under its majesty. For its first AAA game, the Chinese studio offers us a great show with a visible enthusiasm. Perhaps too much. Some way too grandiose boss fights are marred by a frustrating lack of visibility and a rather unbalanced difficulty. Nonetheless, we were truly pleasantly surprised by this Action-RPG mixed with Souls-like elements from China. For a first shot (with a stick) in the big league of games, Black Myth Wukong makes its entry with flying colors. Such a prospect is promising for the other ambitious upcoming Chinese titles.

8 / 10 - Valorant
Aug 10, 2024

Valorant on consoles is a true success. Console gamers finally have the chance to play a very competitive, precise and demanding game, far from what we are used to find on these platforms. With its mix of Counter-Strike and Overwatch 2, Valorant is an atypical game that requires to be tamed but that becomes quickly addictive and quite incredibly fun.
