If, on paper, Warriors All Stars shows beautiful promises, we have to admit that the game is finally in an average position. Yes, some elements are eye-catching like evolving with the different licenses of Koei Tecmo. But, as a whole, the title has issues like a sometimes badly dosed difficulty, endless paths in the labyrinth of maps of battles without bringing great novelties. But, being able to embody Lu Bu, William or Kasumi out of their licenses remains really attractive.

In line with its predecessor, Operation Babel : New Tokyo Legacy offers a pretty complete RPG with an underlying poorly handled difficulty. The mix of blood, craft and loot are many mechanics that will be off-putting to the less experimented players. Only for players familiar with the genre craving for Dungeon RPGs.

If you have played many hours of Lego City Undercover on Wii U, it's difficult for us to recommend you this lazy port. It has nothing new to offer but a simple coop mode, a better framerate and a little bit more refined graphics. Our judgement might seems a bit harsh, but it totally changes if you're new to Chase Mccain's adventures. Because except a certain heaviness in the controls and the absence of a true liberty, the search for Rex Fury in the streets of Lego City is a real pleasure, truly funny and refreshing. In short, if this beginning of the year is absolutely amazing in terms of game releases, keeping a place for Lego City Undercover might not be the worst thing you could do.

12 / 20 - Kona
Mar 27, 2017

Kona isn't a bad game, it has several qualities like its atmosphere, its narrative and its survival aspect, except for the exhaustion system. But, Parabole�s game has too many weaknesses to captivate us, like a slow rhythm seconded by a feeling of filing. You should eventually discover it in a moment of scarcity or to take a break between two AAA games, which might be difficult considering how this first trimester is exceptional.

12 / 20 - Lego Worlds
Mar 20, 2017

Lego Worlds is one of the most beautiful proposal that could be made to the fans of the most famous construction game. In addition to address a very wide audience, LEGO Worlds allows players to have fun while at the same time explore a colorful universe and start complex constructions with infinite possibilities, everything alone or accompanied by other players. All the more of a reason to deplore the redundancy of quests that become boring too quickly, the camera issues that harm the visibility or the heaviness of the interface : shortcomings that can ruin the enjoyment of the game, and it's without even mentioning crashes and saves troubles that can in that matter lead to a nervous breakdown. This leads to hoping for a quick patch, but also a new entry that could build on all the qualities of the title while erasing all its defects.

Dakar Desert Rally, has good foundations but is unfortunately imperfect on many points.

MADiSON is a horror game that had everything to please, but only on paper.

Dolmen is an honest game and a good souls-like. However, its rigidity, capricious camera and great difficulty (sometimes poorly dosed) sometimes have a hard time letting us enjoy the experience properly.

With its ultra-charming plastic, its neat character design, its successful and very modern pixel art, glued on hand-painted 2.5D environments, Eiyuden Chronicles: Rising puts us in full view. It's only a shame that the app gets bogged down in a hyper boring and linear structure, with its quests without much interest, its level design in a straight line and its gameplay far too smooth.

Feb 22, 2022

Despite its flaws, Monark is not such a bad experience. Admittedly, it is not very pretty, a little heavy, but quite enjoyable. And while it's true that the real interest lies only in the combat system and its riches, that seems enough to draw attention to the title.

The Sims 4 Wedding brings the dose of freshness and novelty hoped for without revolutionizing a formula that has proven itself for years.

It will not impress you, but it will probably be able to entertain you – and especially on the occasion of occasional runs – provided you are not too allergic to this type of game where the only purpose is to face monsters and improve your equipment.

13 / 20 - Heavenly Bodies
Jan 24, 2022

Heavenly Bodies is a great experience as long as you have the patience to tame the gameplay, which can spin from cramps to the most tense, and have the chance to play with a pair which will offer some sequences of laughter.

13 / 20 - The Gunk
Jan 21, 2022

The Gunk is a short adventure but will please players who want to take a break between two AAAs. Without revolutionizing the genre and despite its lack of depth, the game brings a little breath of fresh air and gives us the opportunity to leave our planet to heal another.

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

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.

Not free of flaws, A Juggler's Tale manages, over time, to reach the sensitivity of the most hardened among us. The themes addressed are common to all children who have become adults today and are an irremediably reminder of how fragile the human condition is.

Finally, Microids has prepared a platform game for everyone, which will be fun for both the youngest and adults who remember the Smurfs of their childhood. Despite some bugs, a not very developed mechanic and a fairly simple story, it is a smurfly pleasant title for the whole family.

With a little more content, better accuracy and the desire to integrate a little more those who do not know this style of play, the title could be a small reference in the field, but for now, the copy is not perfect. Fortunately, the developers have announced that they will take special care in the follow-up, and no doubt expand the roster. To see in the long term therefore.
