Street Fighter 6 on Nintendo Switch 2 is far from a simple copy-and-paste: it cleverly adapts to the console and offers a number of welcome additions, such as Amiibo compatibility and handheld play. It's a pleasure to be able to take such a rich fighting game everywhere with you, provided you invest in a Pro controller to fully enjoy the experience. Despite the overall fluidity, we regret that World Tour mode is limited to 30 FPS, and the rather high price of this version is likely to discourage many, especially considering the additional cost of the Amiibo.

The Alters is exactly what I needed to experience in a narrative sci-fi game. The idea of being able to have multiple versions of yourself (who remembers the movie Multiplicity with Michael Keaton?), having to manage them in an apocalyptic context while understanding the state of emergency is excellent. The sheer number of possible scenarios, when a normal game should take between 25 and 30 hours, adds a huge amount of replayability. We feel that the choices we make, whether at the very beginning of our adventure or not, have an impact on the story. And having the power to decide whether to sow chaos or not, with the results that follow, is brilliant.

Mario Kart World may not revolutionize the franchise, but it brings enough new features to mark a real evolution. Its open world adds an unprecedented exploratory dimension, while Survival mode offers an original and effective competitive formula. The tracks are varied and well-designed, and take full advantage of the console's new technical capabilities, both visually and in terms of overall fluidity.

RoadCraft won't please everyone. It's slow, methodical and sometimes temperamental. However, for those who like demanding simulation experiences, with a real learning curve and gratification at every step, it's a work in progress well worth the detour. Despite its technical shortcomings and some questionable parameter choices, the game rests on a solid foundation, thought through with seriousness and passion. Clearly, this time we have a worthy successor to SnowRunner.

The remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny succeeds in modernizing a classic while respecting its heritage, with improved gameplay, convenience options and bonus content that make the experience more enjoyable. The Hell mode and modernized controls are a breath of fresh air.

Let's cut to the chase: Clair Obscur is, without question, the best game of the year so far. In fact, one could even argue that it's one of the best games of recent years. Of course, it all depends on individual tastes and sensibilities, but as far as I'm concerned, it's been a long time since I've been so captivated by a game. Even Metaphor: ReFantazio, though an exceptional title, failed to fascinate me in the same way.

Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping is a sequel that retains the essence of the first episode, while adding more polished writing and a more nuanced atmosphere. Although the easier puzzles and shorter duration may leave players wanting more, the charm of Duck Detective is still there, thanks to a delicious sense of humor and meticulous art direction. The fluidity of the narrative means you can really enjoy the adventure, even if it leaves you wanting more. With an ending that leaves the door open to a potential sequel, we can only hope for a much more ambitious follow-up.

The Precinct is an experience that deserves the attention of fans of investigative and action games. Its original idea and meticulous art direction compensate in part for the gameplay's shortcomings and the artificial intelligence's lack of depth. Despite a certain repetitiveness, the game offers a successful immersion in the daily life of a policeman, paying homage to the classics while adding a touch of modernity. I see this as a great improvement on the studio's previous game. The team seems to have found a formula that can be refined. It's not a masterpiece, but it's an honest game, sincere in its approach, and deserves the attention of fans of the genre.

Bionic Bay is a game like no other. A captivating game that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. You move forward, you think, you make more progress, and you have to dig deeper and deeper in the face of new obstacles. The game is brimming with excellent ideas that bring a nice diversity to the whole. Admittedly, we'd have gladly taken on more - but who knows, maybe additional content will enrich the experience in the future?

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a breath of fresh air for adventure game fans. Its wacky humor, unique universe and improved gameplay allow Raccoon Logic Studios to offer a quality sequel. However, the objectives can sometimes be too similar, while the combat still lacks a certain airiness. However, it should be noted that the switch to third-person shooter is a successful gamble. Technical problems aside, this is an interstellar adventure that stands out for its colorful personality. The team seems to have found the right recipe, now all that's left is to sublimate it!

Ressources Inhumaines : Une Machination Littéraire is a short narrative adventure that's well worth the detour, especially if you like emotionally charged interactive experiences. With its disturbing narrative, singular characters and often heartbreaking moral choices, the game leaves no one indifferent. It stands out as a biting satire of the world of work and corporatist excesses, supported by meticulous writing and a controlled atmosphere. A highly enjoyable work on the borderline between video games and literature.

It's fair to say that Cash Cleaner Simulator isn't afraid to dare, with a game focused on cleaning up dirty money (in every sense of the word). The title attracts attention thanks to its atypical concept, which manages to deliver a pleasant experience for several hours. The artistic direction is a success, both visually and sonically. It's fun, it's relaxing, and there's an almost meditative satisfaction in the act of cleaning money. However, once the novelty wears off, the game shows its limitations. It lacks variety, its narrative is too discreet, and the progression curve quickly stagnates. There's still room for improvement to make the title a complete experience. I recommend the game to fans of the genre who aren't afraid to wait for updates.

Forza Horizon 5 is undoubtedly one of the best racing experiences ever, even though it was originally released in 2021. The PS5 version includes a number of additional features, notably for the DualSense controller, but also for owners of the console's Pro version. However, the addition of Horizon Realms mode and the absence of our PC or Xbox savegame transfer may not be enough to encourage the return of former players. Rather, it's an ideal opportunity if you've never played the game before. To find out more about the title itself, we remind you that you can consult our original test of the adventure.

The First Berserker: Khazan is one of the great Soulslike games of recent years. While many titles in this genre are quickly forgotten, very few manage to rise to the level of truly solid games. Thanks to its generous lifespan (a good 40 hours), the precision of its controls, its diversity and its memorable boss battles, you'll come away clearly satisfied. Yes, there are a few drawbacks: the level design is decent, but lacklustre, and the story takes a back seat. But nothing really dramatic. Apart from anything else FromSoftware has come up with, Khazan is undoubtedly the best thing to come out of Lies of P. And that's a compliment we don't pay lightly.

Crashlands 2 brilliantly combines exploration, management and humor. A feat once again achieved by the Butterscotch Shenanigans team. The universe is vast, the story rich, and the game mechanics offer a wide variety of activities that keep the player engaged for several hours. Despite a few shortcomings related to the clarity of objectives and text overload, the title remains a captivating and entertaining experience, ideal for those who enjoy adventure games where creativity is rewarded. It's not always easy to make a sequel, but the challenge has been met!

Blue Prince is a breath of fresh air on the market, with an ingenious idea that blends several genres. The gameplay is efficient and perfectly integrated into the universe and concept. You'll always want to do it all over again, even if you've been stuck the last time. Nevertheless, the title isn't perfect, and may discourage some players. The non-linear progression is an advantage for a unique experience. However, it could also be a drawback for neophytes wishing to discover. And let's not forget that, for the moment, the title is only available in English. I'd mainly recommend the title to regular puzzle gamers looking for an out-of-the-ordinary experience.

MLB The Show 25 is superior to the previous edition. The developers weren't afraid to take risks, offering a complete overhaul of Diamond Dynasty mode. It's now much more interesting, especially in single-player mode. On the other hand, the Road to the Show mode is a little more immersive, notably with the integration of the school course. I'd have liked to see more depth here, so as not to have the impression that it's a secondary addition. The gameplay has also been revised, and will take some getting used to in order to understand the strikes, which can often behave randomly. This is an element that has little impact in solo play, but which may clearly bother players who like to compete online. All in all, the game remains a benchmark in the field, and the San Diego team must continue in this direction.

With South of Midnight, Compulsion Games has created a deeply personal, artistic work rooted in a culture rarely explored in video games. Although the gameplay remains fairly classic and sometimes repetitive, it doesn't detract from the overall experience, as the game makes up for it with its rich universe, inspired art direction and touching narrative.

Out of the Park Baseball 26 is once again a more than complete experience for MLB and management fans. The title continues to refine without changing a formula that works. From now on, I hope the franchise can continue its evolution by increasing its accessibility. Offered only in English and with a user interface that's sometimes messy, it's not easy to attract players. It remains to be seen whether these aspects will be improved in the future.

After a disappointing opus in 2022, PGA Tour 2K25 marks the return of the franchise with several improvements. Gameplay has been completely overhauled to offer a far more satisfying experience. And the integration of virtual currency is much more logical than before. However, the number of courses, the game modes and the immersion of the career mode now lack a little more depth. The current base is nevertheless of good quality, and the HB Studio team is on the right track.
