Nevertheless, it remains a nice game that immediately sucks us into its atmosphere thanks to a mastered artistic direction and a splendid OST.

In short, a really nice game, full of goodwill, but you have to hang on.

Destroying humanity by controlling a horde of zombies could have been very fun, but no. Instead of serving us a second degree full of humor that could have stuck with the artistic direction, banal, but very colorful, Too Many Humans tries rather to lecture us. So we end up with flavorless dialogues that align the worst possible clichés and a game that ultimately makes no sense since we find ourselves doing exactly what we blame humanity for: making war, polluting and pumping resources.

We would have liked a little more ambition for this new adaptation of the adventures of Asterix and Obelix.

Despite a scenario without great scope, we are dealing here with a good RPG.

Firegirl is a real good little rogue-lite. If its context and gameplay are rather atypical, its structure is very classic. On the other hand, it's so well done that we don't care and the formula is addictive as much as possible. Plus, with its procedurally generated missions that flare up in minutes, Firegirl is the perfect candidate for intense on-the-go gaming sessions.

13 / 20 - White Shadows
Dec 12, 2021

White Shadows is a game that is swallowed with one stroke. Short, the game tries to send us a good number of messages on strong, current topics and which obviously speak to us a lot. However, by wanting to bet everything on this aspect, the game forgets everything else and we tend to lose the thread. Fortunately, the title is only done in about two hours, and sports a singular aesthetic as well as an effective artistic direction.

15 / 20 - Okinawa Rush
Dec 9, 2021

The title can be a good little entertainment with a fairly generous replayability thanks to the different degrees of difficulty precisely and an arcade mode worthy of seducing the most masochistic among you.

Aiko's Choice may be a simple expansion of Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun not renewing the original proposal, the gameplay developed by Mimimi, with a goldsmith's precision in the level design and the many tactical possibilities offered, has once again allowed us to have a very good time with our squad of Japanese assassins from the Edo period.

18 / 20 - Halo Infinite
Dec 6, 2021

In its entirety, Halo Infinite is excellent. The campaign may have its problems, including this mania to sink into the clichés of the open world, it remains solid and is done without displeasure even if the coop is delayed. Finally, its fully free-to-play multiplayer component is certainly the best multiplayer experience of this end of the year.

This trilogy oscillates between moving nostalgia and the disappointment of remembering the weight of the years.

15 / 20 - Chorus
Dec 3, 2021

Chorus relies a lot on the show and he does it well. With its mystical atmosphere, it offers us a space opera with majestic sets, epic soundtrack and very dynamic space battles. We can, of course, regret the maps too empty outside the missions and a certain repetitiveness of the proposals made in the appendix of the main story, as well as a limited diversity of armament and anecdotal decisions, but the extreme maneuverability of the ship and the feeling of power that we have to pilot it, using the powers at our disposal, is clearly enjoyable.

Bus Simulator is the reference of the bus driving simulation game. Well, it is possible that he is the only one, but it must be said that even without competition, he does the job very well. The license has improved slightly in the freedom of driving and some mechanics, even if technically and aesthetically, it does not move. If management-simulation is your dada, we highly recommend.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 does not reinvent the formula but greatly improves it by inflating its content and management options.

With Blue Reflection: Second Light, Gust offers us a sequel that is still perfectible but surpasses its predecessor. It still suffers from movements that lack fluidity and too many repetitive fights, but its anime aspect is really successful with varied graphics and a bestiary that knows how to renew itself regularly. Its gameplay constantly brings new elements but unfortunately sometimes lacks a little rhythm, while addressing topics specific to adolescence that can have trouble to excite.

In the end, if we take stock, Battlefield 2042 is not excellent, but just good and promises beautiful things once it is further refined. The only question is: do we sell a game on promises?

18 / 20 - Metroid Dread
Nov 24, 2021

This new episode still tends to rally new players to its cause. Fans will appreciate the few revelations around Samus Aran and on the universe of the game, neophytes meanwhile, will be delighted to make their weapons on this masterful opus. Metroid Dread is a real success both in terms of its level design, gameplay and atmosphere. I can only recommend this game despite the potential difficulty that may put off some players. An adventure that we will not get enough of doing and redoing while waiting for a sequel.

Horror Story Hallowseed is not perfect, clearly, but is not to be shunned. We are far from what some softs of the genre (and independent) are able to offer, but Jeff Winner's game has the merit of offering a funny little ghost train that will make you jump from time to time, on a backdrop worthy of a B series broadcast on TNT in the second half of the evening.
