Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator is a realistic simulation of the life of a cab driver. You can explore a marvellous model of the city of Barcelona. Unfortunately, the experience is not without its problems. Handling requires a number of adjustments in order to be enjoyable, while the artificial intelligence creates a real sense of frustration. Missions also remain, for the moment, rather repetitive and offer very little variety. Perhaps I'd advise you to wait for future updates before embarking on your new career.

Rise of the Ronin may not become the benchmark game of this generation, but it offers a more than interesting experience. The title offers a combat system that is difficult to master, and which should satisfy even the most demanding players. Neophytes, meanwhile, are not left out in the cold, as the game remains very accessible, whether through cooperative play or the ability to choose the difficulty level at any time. All in all, the story of this period plunges the player into an entertaining adventure that blends numerous genres to our great delight, despite a few minor flaws.

United Penguin Kingdom offers an alternative to the usual management games, notably with its colorful, out-of-the-ordinary art direction. The basis for an adventure of this kind is well established, and the developers have also added a few interesting ideas to stand out from the crowd. Nevertheless, the title is a little slow to get going, and its interface is not necessarily accessible to less experienced players.

So, what do we think of Tomb Raider I-II-III Remastered? It's a mixed bag. On the one hand, we can't overlook the achievement of making a long-standing series approachable. But we'd have liked to see more action. Concrete gestures that would have improved gameplay. Because nostalgia sells, let's face it. But if you want to stay with it, and even better, bring in new players, this compilation won't do it.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a great success that met my expectations, even though they were very high. It's impressive to see how the developers have managed to integrate the open-world aspect while modernizing it. What's more, the quantity and quality of the secondary activities make discovering the universe more fun than ever. And it's all done naturally, allowing us to constantly improve our team. Last but not least, everything complements the excellent story, which will leave no one indifferent. It's definitely a contender for Game of the Year, honoring the excellence of the original work.

we regret not having discovered Cocoon at the same time as the rest of the industry last September. However, it's not too late, which is why it recently made our list of great discoveries on the Nintendo Switch. This is an excellent first title for the Geometric Interactive studio, and we'll definitely continue to follow Jeppe Carlsen and his team in the future.

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game offers a similar experience to its predecessors, without offering anything identical. In fact, by taking the player a little more by the hand, the title is without doubt the most accessible in the series. Not to mention that the team at Saber Interactive have done a near-perfect job on the technical front. There are currently around 100 hours of content, and plenty of DLC is also planned to add missions. However, the title may not appeal to older players who lose a certain sense of freedom. Not to mention that the overall experience remains very similar.

Metal Gear Solid Vol. 1 Master Collection slips into a game library like a good old book at home. It's necessary, even essential, to ensure that the great titles of the last few decades are still playable today.

Without being perfect, this game is a good recommendation for people who like mysterious stories where exploration is at the heart of its point-and-click mechanics. The atmosphere is strange, without being a horror game. It's just well balanced.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake offers a modern take on a video game classic. Although the changes are few and far between, Avantgarden Games has shown great respect for the original game. The use of the new graphics engine makes it even easier to immerse yourself in this touching story, while marvelling at the scenery. The adventure remains fairly short, but the retail price is far from excessive. I particularly recommend the game for those who didn't have the chance to play it back then, or for those who wish to repeat the experience in co-op.

After an impressive start to the year with Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, the momentum continues. Helldivers 2 is incredibly fun, action-packed and full of highlights. You'll have the time of your life with the soldiers you meet on your adventures. Battlefields will be filled with scenes worthy of the best cinematics, and memories will be made. While Helldivers I wasn't as successful as Helldivers II, it's good to see that this one has been a hit since its release. Now we'll just have to see what the future holds. Because between you and me, Helldivers 2 could easily take the top spot in terms of hours spent on a game this year. It's enough to keep my interest renewed on a fairly regular basis. So it's in the studio's hands to stay relevant at all times. But for now, the game is fantastic. And that's what I'll remember in the end. Long live democracy!

Bandle Tale is not a game of immense depth, but remains a good distraction between big action titles. If you're into cozy games like Animal Crossing or Spirit Farer, you'll easily find what you're looking for. If you're looking for a little more excitement, however, you'll be disappointed.

Clearly, Skull and Bones has suffered from years of development and numerous changes of direction. The handling of the ships is well done, but everything around them is much less so. The in-game phases are very repetitive, and boarding and pillaging are nothing more than identical cinematics. The very principle of the experience is to go back and forth until you reach the end of the main campaign. Not to mention that the technology is not worthy of a game marketed in 2024 at this price.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is one of the best adventures in the series. If, like me, you've been dreaming of playing both Ichiban and Kiryu, you won't be disappointed. It's also the title with the most things to do in the entire series. Scenario-wise, it's still high on emotion and full of twists and turns, some more predictable than others. For my part, apart from the main antagonists who are a little less interesting, the game as a whole remains one of the best, if not the best, in the collection to date.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a good addition to the Nintendo Switch library. Without being a masterpiece or a must-have, it's a good little game at a lower cost while we wait for flagship releases like Princess Peach: Showtime! or Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. What's more, it's not just a simple remake, and Nintendo has done what it takes to bring the series back to life.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League isn't as catastrophic as first expected. The gameplay is fun, there's plenty of humor in keeping with the personalities of the playable characters, and the visuals are just right. However, we can't overlook the repetitive experience, the almost anecdotal evolution tree, the inconsistencies in the storyline and the unacceptable launch of a game and its microtransactions. I recommend the game to those who have the chance to get together with friends and are big fans of the DC Comics franchises. Otherwise, it's best to wait for a discount before checking out.

The Universim is proof that it is possible to emerge from a long period of early access. The title offers a successful divine simulation experience with an original art direction. Difficulty is high, but the game remains accessible even for new players. All in all, the experience is a positive one, even if a few aspects, such as in-game speed and a tutorial that's not always easy to follow, still need a little fine-tuning. I'd recommend this title mainly to regulars of the genre.

Once again, Capcom offers a near-perfect compilation of a franchise that deserves a little more attention. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy offers substantial improvements, even if Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice suffer a little more visually. The added bonuses will please fans, but I mainly recommend the game for those who haven't yet had the chance to discover these sequels to the license. In any case, I hope that the developers will be allowed to design a new opus in the future.

All in all, The Talos Principle 2 is a considerable improvement on the first opus. The puzzles and the tools for completing them are well thought-out, the narrative explores new, more contemporary ideas, and the game looks magnificent. On the other hand, it doesn't surprise as much as its predecessor and, despite excellent vocal performances from the actors, at times we miss the more directed, but highly reactive "religious-superreal-scientific" experience of the simulation of yesteryear.

Arc System Works delivers an entire retelling of the DS/Wii compilation of Another Codes games with enhanced visuals and modernized gameplay. The story is particularly well written and addresses some mature subject. We hope to see more of Ashley in the future.
