Like the Chornobyl Zone since the terrible accident at its nuclear power plant in 1986, STALKER 2 seems to be stuck in a time bubble that ignores current industry standards.

6 / 10 - Slitterhead
Nov 21, 2024

Slitterhead is a bizarre, wobbly and repetitive, but also a generous, inventive and original game, thanks to its possession mechanic. Its themes are equally seductive, as are the combat, often enjoyable. the characters, Akira Yamaoka's music and its constantly strange aspect. We're fully aware of the huge flaws that couldn't pass for AAA, but we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. An imperfect but unique experience that deserves to exist. It's far form perfect, but it's a promising start for Bokeh Game Studio.

Dragon Quest 3 Remake is a real sweet that brings us back to a time we sometimes miss terribly. With its beautiful 2D-HD graphics, reorchestrated music, non-negligible comfort options, excellent full French translation and sometimes timid new features, Artdink Corporation and Team Asano deliver the best version of one of the founding episodes of the license. A game that is good for nostalgia and whose touches of modernity sublimate a timeless work. A must for lovers of the saga and fans of turn-by-turn role-playing games and a very good gateway for neophytes.

Here's a premiere that puts a smile on our faces (a shy one, but a smile anyway). LEGO Horizon Adventures is a pleasant surprise, which struggles to convince completely, but does not lack potential. Long-time fans will certainly enjoy discovering this retelling of Horizon Zero Dawn, which also presents itself as a half-fun open door to the universe. Even if the whole thing lacks aplomb, particularly in its handling, the experience doesn't fall short. What's more, Guerrilla Games and Studio Gobo deliver a fine copy, both visually and aurally. We love the cheerful cast, who play the game to the hilt, in both VO and VF. Given the promise of such a reinterpretation, especially when we know what the LEGO franchise is capable of, we wouldn't say no to a sequel or, why not, other forays into Sony's universe or those of other publishers!

Empire of the Ants is an original experience that combines real-time strategy with nature exploration, immersing players in the life of an ant within a miniature world. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game offers impressive, detailed visuals enhanced by an orchestral soundtrack that deepens the immersion. However, while the visuals are superb and unique, the gameplay sometimes feels too simplistic, especially during real-time strategy phases. Nonetheless, it remains a good experience, utterly fascinating for anyone with even a slight interest in nature.

With Sonic X Shadow Generations, SEGA brings back one of the best games ever created for the cult saga. This ultimate edition is worth the detour, especially for the new chapter devoted to Shadow, which offers more gameplay possibilities and a more exhilarating setting and rhythm than in the past. However, this chapter suffers from the comparison with Sonic Generations, which may seem old-fashioned to some player. It's far from being perfect, but it's a nice letter of intent about what the future of the license might hold.

Planet Coaster 2 truly earns its status as a sequel, with the water attractions alone making it worth a closer look. The game promises to be a genuine leap forward in the theme park management genre, refining every mechanic, every detail from the first installment, while expanding possibilities even further. With more customization, more micromanagement, and deeper control over finances, visitors, and attractions, Frontier is delivering nothing short of a masterclass here.

In itself, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered fulfills its mission: fully exploit the power of the PS5 and PC to make the original game more beautiful than ever and on the same level as the magnificent Forbidden West. However, with the exception of the full support of the DualSense controller, we can regret the absence of new features and improvements to the gameplay. The upgrade from PS4 to PS5 with three convincing graphic modes at 10 euros may be worth the cost, but the same cannot really be said about buying the Remaster full price or on a PC version graphically extremely solid, even to this day.

Unbelievable but true, Call of Duty Black Ops 6 succeeds where the license has failed for years: it has managed to create a surprise and renew its formula, finally! It's an excellent episode, one of the best of the series by far.

Eager to redeem itself with its community, BioWare took the time to deliver what is probably one of its most successful productions in a long time and one of the best games in the saga. Between its epic and touching storytelling, its endearing characters, its captivating fights that can be modulated to the will of the eye, its sublime environments that we enjoy exploring or its answers to long-standing questions, Dragon Age The Veilguard is one of the best action-RPG games of this year. Newcomers will be welcomed with open arms by a story that sometimes flirts with the spectacular. The fans of the first hour will regret that the roleplay dimension that made the reputation of the studio is more behind. Dragon Age The Veilguard is more about evolution than revolution, but BioWare is finally back.

Enotria The Last Song may be like a fine (Italian) wine, and will improve with time, but when and to what extent ? Jyamma Games thus offers a souls-like game with original artistic direction, as well as its universe, but both are clearly under-exploited. There are some good ideas, too, but they're a bit flimsy. With a similar budget, the title suffers from comparisons with other softs in the genre, and disappoints notably in terms of bosses and music.

Let's hope that Blizzard will continue on this promising path via a second expansion most certainly already in the works (with a satisfactory ending this time, please).

More generous, unpredictable and flamboyant than ever, Super Mario Party Jamboree is an essential to liven up your evenings with friends or family. This eighteenth episode breaks away from some of its predecessors' dubious choices to focus on the essentials: effective mini-games and more than ever, Wild parts that gain a little bit in rhythm and content generous enough not to tire those who would only take it out on rare occasions. With a few game modes to top it off, some quite ingenious, others more gadgets, Super Mario Party Jamboree has the merit of varying the pleasures. It is certainly not a revolution, but it remains an excellent party-game that will cheer up without problem your evenings and offer you some laughter.

8 / 10 - Neva
Oct 14, 2024

Some works leave a deep impression on you. After the excellent Gris, Nomada has succeeded for a second time in making a condensed game that will nevertheless leave a lasting impression on those who venture into it. It's hard not to compare it with the studio's previous title, so similar are they in some ways. But Neva has a personality of its own. It tackles other themes, just as universal and with an evocative force that goes straight to the heart. We want more, just a little bit more, to close this never-ending story with the feeling that we've really reached the end of what the game can tell us. This doesn't detract from the pleasure of traversing the sublime scenery of this dreamlike world, in the company of this little she-wolf whom we quickly fall in love with. Neva will definitely find its place in the hearts of all gamers.

If you've never played Until Dawn, go for it ! Even if the price tag is still a bit high considering the changes. It's still one of the most beloved horror production, even after ten years, and his deserves his fame. It's, by far, the most good looking version available (PS5, PC) with huge improvements. If you've ever been on that ghost train, which successfully exploits the slasher genre, wait for a price drop. A pleasant remaster, yes, but not a complete remake.
