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.

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.

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.

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.

At its best, Anger Foot is a successful homage to the illustrious title it is inspired by, Hotline Miami, with a clever adaptation in FPS view.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Splintered Fate is a pleasant surprise on Nintendo Switch. Some might say that it's simply a copy of Hades, only not as good as usual, but Super Evil Corp has done a good job. It's a nice new entry in the ninja turtles universe, but marry by performance issues and graphics that don't do justice to a console.

Unless you're a real fan of speedrun, competition and retro games, you may not find what you're looking for in the long run with this new originality from Nintendo.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess won't be the game of the year, but it's still a pleasant surprise from Capcom.

Sea of Thieves is highly recommendable in 2024.

Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition is far from perfect, but it's an honest remaster. Yes, the game has aged, but its charm still works today. A game to discover and rediscover, despite the new version's even more striking flaws

The PS4/PS5 port of Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin looks a bit lackluster on both graphical and technical standpoints compared to what was done to the remaster of the first episode. The sequel taking inspiration from Pokémon to the Monster Hunter formula is still pretty good to this day, and you should get it if you don't have a PC or another console. We however think that 40 euros is quite expansive considering the overall quality of the port.

Unquestionably, Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is the best version of this second installment of the franchise. The remaster does well with a neat realization, which makes the experience even more lively and pleasant for both the eyes and the controller in hand. However, it suffers somewhat from its ageing.

Fans of Pokémon-style RPGs will find many hours of fun taking care of their Monsties and building a dream team, a kind of fantasy fulfillment for fans of Capcom's original franchise. Unfortunately, the direction of this spin-off was quite off-putting and redundant in its structure and mechanics, and lacks a bit of panache compared to the basic proposal focused on hunting.

EA now has a lot to do to quickly correct an F1 24 that still has interesting potential, but which suffers enormously from its far too fast release pace, where an annual update between two opuses would allow the teams to breathe to offer a real finished game.

Like the base game, Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is a masterpiece. New spells, equipments, a huge new region, bosses more crazier and tough than ever… it's a generous DLC that can compete with big games. Everything is not perfect on the technical aspect, especially on consoles but it's an even more rewarding game and more beautiful than ever. It's an extraordinary cocktail of thrills at every level and a real lesson.
