Avowed offers the perfect balance I'm looking for between freedom and narrative cohesion to keep me invested in the adventure. The story is excellent, the choices are important and the gameplay is a key part of the fun. There's no doubt in my mind that RPG fans will find pleasure in exploring Eora and discovering all its mysteries.

Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator offers a rather complete experience for those wishing to discover a little more about the profession. Accidents are varied, while the fictional city offers realistic environments. However, routine quickly sets in, despite the integration of large-scale events. The experience system requires you to complete a series of missions with no real objective behind them in order to access all the content. Not to mention the fact that, for the time being, technical problems prevent us from enjoying a fluid experience. It's hard to recommend the game in its current state. Nonetheless, I hope the developers come up with fixes and new content soon. Something they have already demonstrated on their previous production.

As a spin-off, Sniper Elite: Resistance bears a strong resemblance to the franchise's last main opus. As a result, series regulars are unlikely to feel the same excitement as new players. Especially as the main campaign is rather short and the multiplayer modes will not appeal to everyone. While it's still just as satisfying to pull off precision shots, the rigid gameplay of close-quarters combat is starting to show its age. It's hard, therefore, to fall completely in love with the game, even if I'm convinced that a portion of the community will appreciate it.

What Eternal Strands does well, it does really well! The boss battles are highly enjoyable, and deserve to be considered for their own sake. The world is also very well constructed. And what can I say about the soundtrack! However, a little repetitiveness, a lack of rhythm, frustrating deaths and a few minor performance problems mean that the game doesn't reach as high a level as we'd hoped. But let's make no mistake, this is a great achievement for a first game. We'll have to keep an eye on Yellow Brick Games, because they've definitely got a lot of talent!

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is still a great 2D platformer in 2025. Do I recommend it at the current price? No, because I think it's a bit steep to pay full price, especially if you've played it before. This is the ultimate version of the game, and the one I'd recommend in any collector's bookshop, despite the lack of novelty. Even so, the reissue work carried out by the developer is notable and well done. In short, it's up to you to decide whether or not to add this to your console.

Farming Simulator 25 is a logical continuation of the franchise. This opus offers improved visual management, new crops, animals and two new maps. With its GPS system, the series takes a big step towards accessibility, and tasks on our farm are much less tedious. Nevertheless, this edition doesn't reinvent the wheel, and series regulars may even feel that some new features are missing. Not to mention the fact that, even at the time of writing, there are still plenty of technical problems to contend with. The game remains a benchmark in the field, but may not be the revolution some players were expecting.

Metal Slug Tactics doesn't reinvent the strategy game genre. In fact, if there's one criticism to be made, it's this lack of innovation. But does that make it a bad game? Absolutely not! What it does, it does well. The developers respect the very essence of the series and its story. Returning to the heroes we know and their abilities is a real pleasure. Humor, though discreet, is always present. For Metal Slug fans, this is a definite “yes”. For fans of strategy games, it's also a title worth discovering. In short, Metal Slug Tactics has something for everyone.

My discovery of Karate Survivor began with a simple demo, only to be followed by enormous enjoyment of the final version. Available at a low price, the title manages to stand out considerably from other games in the genre. Fans of these experiences can enjoy complete immersion in the action films of the 80s. While there may be a few frustrations regarding the accuracy of our shots, the developers are already making regular corrections at the time of writing. Rather short for regular players, the experience remains more than fun and should appeal to a good number of gamers.

LEGO Horizon Adventures offers a short experience of just over 7 hours, as well as access for younger players to the main franchise. With its difficulty levels, the title also offers a good challenge to players who can immerse themselves in this universe designed with small bricks. Without reinventing the genre, the game can clearly convince a portion of the community, even if the experience itself remains rather repetitive. All in all, a good adventure for the curious and those who have always loved LEGO games.

God of War Ragnarök on PC, like the first, is a masterpiece of balance between narrative, gameplay and aesthetics. Every element is crafted to deliver a complete experience. Whether it's combat, character development or the exploration of a vast, detailed world. Although the repetitiveness of certain battles is deplorable, the difficulty is measured, and every confrontation is an epic skirmish. The lack of clarity and conciseness in the gameplay and narrative may detract a little from the experience, but it doesn't detract from the overall quality of the game.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is without doubt the most complete opus in recent years. The campaign mode is deeper, with more varied and longer missions. Multiplayer takes on a new meaning with omnimotion, while the return of waves in zombie mode should delight the community. Not to mention that, from a visual standpoint, the title remains one of the most beautiful first-person shooters on the market. All that's left to do now is a little balancing, and perhaps a maximum number of players in all game modes, for a near-perfect opus.

Neva slips into my top10 of 2024. Sublime and gripping at the same time, Devolver's latest offering takes us on an emotional journey. We become attached to the main characters. Also, as mentioned, the game takes on the airs of Ori and certain metroidvania. I recommend it, even at full price. You can complete the title in just a few hours, or around five to seven hours of play.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership marks a successful return for the series. While not my favorite, it's certainly a better adventure than Paper Jam and a step in the right direction for RPG fans. Although I'm not a big fan of the new characters and worlds to explore, I did enjoy the adventure. The longevity will certainly give you your money's worth, and the dynamic gameplay enhances the experience. In short, this is a good little game that's easy to recommend.

The abandonment of the older-generation console versions does allow NHL 25 to be more fluid in terms of gameplay. The reactive actions are a good idea and add a little more realism, although they still need to be balanced. Overall, and despite the additions to the franchise world, the experience remains rather similar to last year's edition. Which is not always a fault. Certain details can, however, be quickly implemented without requiring several weeks of development (such as the ability to switch cinematics to Be a Pro mode). All of which would really improve the series. All in all, I'd recommend the purchase to those who may have skipped the last opus in the franchise, or if you love managing your team.

Silent Hill 2 remake is a success on all counts. Bloober Team has just consolidated its mastery of psychological horror. The game's lifespan is also excellent, as you can count on around 15 hours if you take the time to explore. Whether it's the detail of the environments, the quality of the soundtrack, the general atmosphere, the deep storyline or the monsters, each more frightening than the last, the game excels. Whether you've played the original or not, I recommend this game to everyone (if, at least, you don't mind exploring this cursed city).

With EA Sports FC 25, Nintendo Switch owners can look forward to the full range of new features, rather than a simple roster update. These include the addition of Rush mode, the new season system, women's leagues and gameplay improvements. If you don't feel that the console is at the end of its cycle during matches, it's quite a different matter in the menus and cinematics. Slowdowns are frequent, not to mention loading times, which remain a little long. For its part, the decision to separate the Ultimate Team market on the Nintendo console from other platforms considerably increases the frustration of building a team and taking on players. All in all, this is probably the only portable edition of this sports simulation, but if you own an Xbox, PlayStation or PC, it's best to opt for these versions.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is the game in the series that I've enjoyed the most since the first games on the N64. I think Nintendo Cube has mixed the right ingredients to come up with a well-balanced recipe. The selection of mini-games is excellent and the numerous modes offer a wide variety of playability. What's more, the whole thing is accessible to any player who wants to join in. Even in solo mode, I think a fan of the genre will find something to enjoy, thanks in part to the original approach to several modes. It's definitely the kind of game I'm going to want to take out with guests of all ages over the holidays to keep them entertained. In short, if you've been waiting for Mario Party to make a glorious comeback, this is the one to buy.

On paper, Funko Fusion had the potential to become a strong and perhaps more mature competitor to the LEGO franchise. However, the lack of diversity, the repetitive objectives, the numerous technical problems and the absence of a local co-op mode all detract from 1010 Games' idea. While the universes offered are original to say the least, they are not sufficiently linked to offer a coherent universe. In its current state, it's very difficult to recommend the game!

Fans who played the original opus will undoubtedly be happy to play Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. This version offers a number of visual improvements, not least to rejuvenate the original experience. However, this is not enough to attract new players. They'll find themselves in a muddled adventure against an artificial intelligence that's as flawed as ever. The 72-hour concept is also ill-suited to modern times, and despite the presence of an option to advance time, I'm not convinced that a new community will be created. I'd mainly recommend the title to fans of the franchise who loved the original opus.

Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is a very good first expansion pack that offers a good lifespan for the price. In my opinion, it's much more complete and longer than the DLCs in previous games in the series, both in terms of story and gameplay. In my opinion, it's the right time to get back into the adventure, and I think it will once again become my favorite multiplayer game of the moment.
