Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 successfully combines the retro aesthetics of classic ’90s shooters with fast-paced, modern gameplay. Its brutal combat, varied arsenal, and two playable characters with distinct abilities make every encounter satisfying, while its adjustable difficulty welcomes newcomers to the Warhammer universe. However, labyrinthine level design, occasional technical issues, and some repetitive gameplay disrupt the action. Despite these flaws, it remains an enjoyable shooter with plenty of personality.

TOEM 2 builds on the original’s charming photography-based gameplay with new environments, creative puzzles, and plenty of quirky characters to discover. Its relaxing pace, delightful black-and-white art style, and rewarding exploration make it an inviting adventure. While some objectives can feel repetitive, the game’s warmth and clever use of photography make it a lovely sequel for fans of cozy exploration games.

Gears of War: E-Day delivers a powerful return to the franchise’s roots, combining intense combat with a darker, horror-inspired atmosphere and an emotional story about Marcus and Dom. The campaign offers satisfying gameplay, well-designed semi-open environments, and impressive visuals, while its expanded movement mechanics modernize the classic formula. Although enemy variety is limited and some exploration elements become repetitive, The Coalition delivers a memorable adventure that captures what makes Gears of War so compelling.

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve delivers an immersive aerial combat experience with spectacular visuals, accessible controls, and a varied campaign of around 30 missions. Its cinematic first-person sequences and intense dogfights make the conflict feel more personal, while the expanded multiplayer offers plenty of content to keep players engaged. Although the story can be predictable and some missions and dialogue slow the pace, it’s a strong return for the franchise that successfully balances accessibility and excitement.

Minecraft Dungeons II improves on its predecessor with an interconnected world that encourages exploration, alongside expanded equipment customization and accessible, enjoyable combat. Its colorful art direction remains a highlight, while the new Sift dimension brings a welcome sense of discovery to the adventure. However, limited enemy variety, repetitive enchantment grinding, and less surprising environments keep this sequel from recapturing the freshness of the original.

Silent Hill: Townfall delivers a compelling survival horror experience that captures the series’ signature atmosphere, disturbing monsters, and psychological storytelling. Its first-person perspective, intriguing CRTV mechanics, and numerous puzzles make exploration tense and rewarding. However, the dramatic difficulty gap between Easy and Normal, along with frustrating enemy behavior, occasionally undermines the experience. Despite these flaws, it’s a worthy addition to the Silent Hill franchise.

EA SPORTS FC 27 isn’t a revolution, and that’s probably not what the developers were aiming for this year. On the field, the gameplay remains very similar to what we’re already familiar with, with a few interesting tweaks that subtly enhance the experience. The revamped transfer market makes the Manager career mode much more believable, the streamlined DCE removes some of the most repetitive tasks from Ultimate Team, and The Grounds finally introduces a new social space that could become very interesting if it continues to be refined. This new installment is therefore quite easy to recommend to fans of the franchise.

STAR WARS: Galactic Racer is a very pleasant surprise that succeeds above all because it has a genuine racing game identity. The tournament-based structure, the various vehicle configurations, the contracts, the upgrades, and the many types of events prevent the campaign from becoming a mere succession of races. There are some signs of repetition toward the end, and the lack of French voice acting is a shame, but the excellent soundscape, the sense of speed, and the variety of environments more than make up for it. The multiplayer mode will still have to prove itself once the servers open to the public, but the content on offer already gives players plenty of reasons to continue the adventure.

Is NASCAR 26 really different enough from its predecessor? For a new player, this question is much less important. The game offers plenty of content, the gameplay still works very well, and the career mode is engaging enough to keep you playing for several hours. However, for someone who already owns the 2025 edition, the answer is much more difficult. The changes to the driving mechanics are welcome, but all these new features remain fairly modest when viewed as a whole. After overlooking certain limitations last year because it was a fresh start for the franchise, it’s becoming a little harder to ignore them this time around.

highly recommend *Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2*. While the first compilation felt more like fan service to me, here you can really sense that Konami genuinely wants to make all of its games accessible and well-known. Even though the titles in this collection are historically the least popular, that doesn’t make them any less interesting. If you’re also passionate about the history of video games, you can spend hours exploring the Konami archives included in the collection. It’s not perfect, and one might wonder if the price is entirely justified. But in an era when thousands of games are released every year, it’s becoming essential to preserve the ones that shaped the industry.

All in all, Marvel’s Wolverine is another solid release from Insomniac Games that really shines where I expected it most: in its story and its portrayal of the character. The adventure offers an original take on the X-Men universe and takes the time to develop Logan, his relationships with other characters, and especially his relationship with Jean Grey, which remains one of my favorite parts of the story. The combat is also very satisfying and lets you truly feel Wolverine’s power and brutality, even if a certain amount of repetition becomes more noticeable in the second half of the adventure and the variety of enemies could have been greater. The limited exploration and a few repetitive side activities also prevent the experience from reaching the heights I’d hoped for. Despite its polished production, excellent animations, and several memorable battles, Marvel’s Wolverine falls a bit short of expectations in my opinion and doesn’t quite reach the level of Insomniac’s Spider-Man games. It remains, however, a solid adventure and is particularly interesting for the way it reimagines Logan and his universe.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter builds impressively on the foundations of 1st Chapter, with a much more ambitious story, stronger character development, and memorable twists. Its strategic combat remains excellent, while expanded side activities like fishing and cooking add welcome depth to the adventure. Although revisiting familiar regions can sometimes feel repetitive and the gameplay additions are relatively modest, the stronger storytelling and presentation make this a remarkable sequel.

NHL 27 delivers a solid and accessible hockey experience, but its overall evolution feels too timid for a new installment. The return of Connected Franchise and the addition of cross-platform roster sharing are welcome, while improvements to presentation and HUT add some interesting touches. However, the team-specific strategies lack depth, Connected Franchise is more limited than a traditional Franchise mode, and several technical issues from last year remain.

We can say it loud and clear: this is yet another success for Capcom. Onimusha is back in the spotlight after so many years, and fans will be delighted with the final result. The combat is so fantastic that it carries the entire game. Combined with the boss battles, these are the highlights of the adventure. Not all the elements are perfect—including the use of the semi-open world and the side missions. But that doesn’t stop you from finishing the game with a satisfied smile. And while that may sound simple, it was the goal for a series coming back from the dead.

BrokenLore: DON’T LIE is a very short psychological horror experience, but one packed with great ideas. The game really shines in the way it blurs the lines of reality—both through Junko, who is an unreliable narrator, and through the world of Fantasy Boy, which eventually comes to life. The visual metaphors and the soundscape work really well. Unfortunately, the frequent back-and-forth between the apartment and the liminal spaces quickly becomes repetitive. With about two hours of gameplay for over $20, the value for money is also hard to justify. If you enjoy strange, psychological narrative experiences, DON’T LIE is still worth checking out.

Star Wars: Zero Company delivers a deep and accessible tactical experience that makes excellent use of the Star Wars universe without relying solely on its license. Its varied characters, talent trees, team synergies, and base progression offer plenty of room to experiment, while the campaign provides an interesting story with several surprises. The experience can become repetitive over time, and technical issues and an occasionally frustrating camera hold it back.

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave successfully combines the strong character-driven storytelling of Three Houses with the excellent tactical combat of Engage. Its four-protagonist structure offers a refreshing way to experience the same world from different perspectives, while the vast map and varied battles provide plenty to explore. Some repetition, tedious recruitment requirements, and underdeveloped dungeons hold it back slightly, but the overall formula works remarkably well.

Let’s have some fun with a nice comparison. Orbitals is like a gorgeous birthday cake. It’s beautiful, it makes your eyes sparkle, and you’re happy to eat it. However, you shouldn’t have a second slice because, despite its tempting appearance, it’s still a huge amount of sugar. And that’s not good for your health. Orbitals won’t harm your body, but it’s easy to draw a parallel. Thanks to flawless art direction and plenty of humor, the game is worth your attention. Its playtime might put some people off—and with good reason, since the final playtime clocks in at around seven hours. Still, it’s a very enjoyable cooperative adventure that can be recommended to everyone, ages 7 to 77!

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy remains a high-quality production. The art direction is magnificent, Olivier Derivière’s soundtrack is once again exceptional, and the voice acting is particularly well done in both the French and original versions. The choice of Sophia as the protagonist also works very well and allows players to learn more about a character who clearly deserved further development. However, in its attempt to revamp the formula with much more action and a heavy emphasis on puzzles, Asobo Studio has created a more conventional—and, above all, much more repetitive—adventure. The game therefore remains a very good action-adventure title and an accessible entry point for new players. I finished the story, however, with the impression that it was missing something to truly reach the level of the franchise’s best moments.

NBA 2K27 remains an excellent basketball simulation and has enough new features to justify its existence. Unfortunately, the further you step away from the court, the more some of the franchise’s foundational elements begin to show their age. The MyCAREER cutscenes need a serious overhaul, The City is slowly losing its appeal, facial scanning remains imprecise, and monetization is still far too pervasive. So, it’s a good installment—at times even excellent—but one that improves many aspects without necessarily addressing the ones that needed it most.
