More than a bad game, more than a disappointment, Postal 4 is nothing but an opportunistic and badly fucked software that is not even finished.

Between its overacted intro cinematics, its casting of uninteresting games on the long term and it's high retail price, 1-2 Switch has everything to remain in video game history, but not in the way Nintendo might have hoped. If you haven't bought the infamous compilation, we strongly advise you not to. The manufacturer gives the impression to have tailored this game only to the -sometimes peculiar- japanese tastes, to the point of neglecting the gamers from the rest of the world. We're now making our way back to Zelda so we can forever forget the few hours we had with 1-2 Switch.

If the goal of Team Ninja is to introduce the Ninja Gaiden franchise to those who could not play it in the 2000s, it is missed. This Master Collection is a lazy port that is content with the bare minimum.

In short, it is the total absence of fun that jumps in our faces. The huge shortcomings of the title, which we had already noted during the preview in early May, have not been corrected, making Open Country an ersatz of hunting simulation game from the beginning of the Xbox One/PS4 era, with an interest totally broken by an aesthetic and technical envelope to pick up.

Boucy Bob is not a good indie game. He has still some ideas, and it sell price is cheap. But this doesn't explain the lacks shown within': the one single button gameplay could have been a good idea, but is the main limitation of the title as well. Furthermore, with a small number of levels and a very weak multiplayer mode, Bouncy Bob is even more limited. Instead of bouncing, that game falls flat like an old football after a few hours.

Trying to interest by its purpose and its unhappy themes, Crystar fails.

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.

It's a shame that with so many models available, from which to draw its inspiration, The Suicide of Rachel Foster has done less well almost in every way and has only managed to emulate by the themes addressed and the way they are treated.

Aragami was and still is a good game to play if you like infiltration, and obviously you don't expect the same degree of finishing as a AAA. Unfortunately, this is where Aragami 2 crashes: wanting to do like the others and address as many people as ever. As a result, it does not satisfy us while we expected it after the success of the first, and includes too many defects for others who will not forgive this more artisanal side.

As it stands, Roller Champions doesn't offer much. It certainly has a good foundation with its resolutely arcade gameplay, ultra accessible, simple game rules, but that's it. Content level, we have nothing to put under the tooth.

A camera of the omnipresent hell, a slow pace, an absent fear, this episode can only really count on its atmosphere, when it is not spoiled by the back and forth and the repetition of the environments, but even it will surely not be enough to make you crack.

The game may deal with a particularly rich universe, but it barely touches it and never takes advantage of the incredible artistic direction of the original work.

Demon Slayer - The Hinokami Chronicles is not a bad game, just a useless game. An admittedly acerbic statement that can nevertheless be justified by the proposed content. The ultra dirigiste story mode is indeed largely dispensable. As for the fighting, there is no denying it: it entertains, but what about in the long run?

INDUSTRIA is not a bad game, it is even rather not bad for a first try, especially with only two people behind.

Button City is a small indie game with a childish charm that hits the mark. Despite some narrative qualities, the title does not manage to bring its own paw to the stories seen and reviewed it tells. Even if one can not be as demanding as for the big productions, the mini-games have a minimal interest while the bulk of the gameplay relies on them.

Mama cooked us a bland and tasteless episode. You will have understood, the table that is depicted here is not very bright.

It could have been one of the most impactful indie games of 2021, it will be one of the big disappointments of the year. Despite an interesting concept on paper, Twelve Minutes completely misses the execution. Between obscure, sometimes abstruse puzzles and illogical actions, we hoped that the narrative would raise the level but it is not so.

It's hard to really give a clear opinion on Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song, except that it really is not to be put in everyone's hands. While some will see in this game a real call to adventure, others will be completely helpless in the face of the overflow of freedom that is offered to them. However, it is quite possible that the fighting will put everyone in agreement in frustration.

Anuchard does not offer a most brilliant adventure and is even rather anecdotal.

Kung-fu Kickball is a small disappointment.
