All in all, Street Fighter 6 is one of the best games in the series, in my opinion. The World Tour alone is one of the reasons to buy the game. These days, it's not uncommon for titles to be supplemented by downloadable content. In this case, everything is included from the outset, and that's just as well! It's more than complete, and you'll have hours of fun fighting and progressing in this new opus from Capcom. It's sure to please regulars and casual gamers alike. For all these reasons, I recommend that you buy it, even at full price.

Layers of Fear (2023) is, in my opinion, the true story Blooper Team wanted to tell when they released the first opus in 2016. With the power of the Unreal Engine 5, they were able to deliver their vision of psychological horror without compromise. The game has a few flaws and can be repetitive in places, but that's not enough in my opinion to overshadow the enormous qualities it possesses. Having played all the games in the series, Layers of Fear (2023) is Blooper Team's magnum opus.

So, what do we take away from Bleak Sword DX? We're not going to lie, this game probably won't make the end-of-year lists as the best game of the year. With titles like Resident Evil 4 Remake, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and even Spider-Man 2 due out at the end of the year, how could it be otherwise? Despite this, I can tell you that Bleak Sword DX will probably be the game I mention the most. And why is that? Because, first and foremost, it's original in its presentation, offers a very good challenge and excellent value for money, despite its length. Unless you don't like games that require perseverance to complete, I strongly advise everyone to give it a try. They'll be pleasantly surprised, I'm sure.

LEGO 2K Drive is a fun title that will bring back many memories for older players, but also allows younger ones to race in a colorful and humorous universe. The universe of this famous license has been well transcribed, and it's always fun to explore Bricklandia while destroying the scenery along the way. Unfortunately, the game's pleasant gameplay is hampered by zones that require loading times, microtransactions to obtain additional characters and the second part of the campaign mode. The title should nevertheless appeal to fans of other LEGO games looking for a new experience.

Boltgun is, on the whole, excellent when it comes to its basic mechanics and presentation, but the game fails to make an impression on players' imaginations. It's a safe bet, in fact, that it would quickly fall into oblivion were it not for the mega-franchise supporting it. If you're nostalgic for old-school shooters or a big fan of the 40K craze, Auroch's title is sure to please. On the other hand, unlike the phenomenal level design of Dusk or the frenzy of Ultrakill, Boltgun is unlikely to leave its mark on the videogame universe if only for a few hours.

Stranded: Alien Dawn offers a rather advanced management experience that will please many fans of the genre, even if it doesn't reinvent anything. The tutorial is almost too comprehensive, but does a good job of preparing you for your game. Neophytes may find the numerous management elements a little confusing. The developers have provided sufficient content, even if the variety of the bestiary is rather limited. While the overall atmosphere is rather successful, the same cannot be said of the console gameplay, which is rather difficult. I strongly advise you to play the PC version, which is much more enjoyable.

Tin Hearts took me pleasantly by surprise. I simply loved guiding my tin soldiers through the different rooms of the house. I truly felt like a little child playing with his toys in his own house. The game's slight shortcomings cannot overshadow its great qualities, especially the level design. If you like puzzles and moving stories, and want to return to childhood, Tin Hearts is a must!

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum unfortunately doesn't live up to the expectations placed in it and announced. It felt like a game that hadn't yet found its feet. The basics are in place, but you quickly get the feeling that you're doing the same thing over and over again, and moving forward without much interest. Yet the universe and the environment created around it allow you to immerse yourself in the world of J.R.R Tolkien. The technical problems, however, break this immersion, which fails to make up for the other problems. I wouldn't recommend Gollum in its current state, and I hope the developers manage to improve it. Otherwise, the title will be quickly forgotten by gamers.

At the end of the day, there's no doubt that Firmament is a Cyan Worlds game. However, the gaming landscape has evolved considerably since the company's original successes. What we have here is a game whose potential is diminished by an overly restrictive main mechanic leading to often tedious interactions. The mysterious narrative universe, for its part, is certainly one of the game's qualities, but the technical execution and navigation of the environments fail to support the rare moments of genius. In short, this is a recommendable game for 90s adventure game enthusiasts, but like the latter, Firmament lacks finesse and elegance in its design.

At a not too high price, Burning Shores is mainly aimed at players who want to return to Aloy's universe after a year-long break. The additions made by the developers alone are not worth the investment, but the storyline and the complicity between Seyka and our heroine allow Burning Shores to be an interesting addition for fans of the series.

Hotel Renovator is overall not a bad simulation game experience. The title developed by Two Horizons takes several elements found in the competition while adapting the overall experience. The decoration of the rooms is really fun and you don't feel the hours passing. It's a pity that we are constantly interrupted in the story mode and that the management of the lighting effects doesn't allow faultless modifications. It would also have been interesting to add visual guides to place our objects in a more uniform way. The regulars of the genre will be charmed by the proposal while the neophytes will try to understand why the game is interesting.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a great sequel that doesn't revolutionize the series like the first game did, but is still an absolute must play. This new version of Hyrule is bigger than ever and the new powers of Link help revigorate the gameplay. Yes it has a few flaws, but I didn't want to put down my Switch and I had a big smile during the whole review process.

Is The Last Case of Benedict Fox a good game? The answer is in half-tone. The game clearly masters some subjects: the atmosphere, the suspense, the gloomy side of the game. There are also some excellent puzzles in this game. And that's the main reason why we return to it again and again. But there are also the fighting and platforming phases. And these moments might be enough to make you drop out faster than you think. If ever the work is done on the part of the developers to improve this, the game will be worth the cost. But it will have to be done quickly, otherwise The Last Case of Benedict Fox could fall into the abyss.

Redfall malheureusement tente beaucoup de choses sans en réussir aucun de manière parfaite. La jouabilité tente d’être rapide, mais nous sommes confrontés à des ennemis qui ne bougent pas et qui proposent très peu de difficulté. Les développeurs ont intégré un système de compétence qui n’apporte pas de réel changement dans le déroulement du jeu. Le scénario tente d’être mystérieux, mais il y a très peu de cinématique pour nous immerger correctement. L’ambiance de son côté est plutôt réussie, mais gâchée par les nombreux problèmes techniques. Vous l’aurez compris, le titre développé par Arkane Austin n’est pas profondément mauvais, mais il n’est pas non plus profondément bon. Si vous n’avez pas un abonnement au Game Pass, il est préférable de passer son chemin.

To say that The Mageseeker is a great surprise would be an understatement in my case. Knowing absolutely nothing about the world of League of Legends, I loved my time with Sylas, so much so that I would be tempted to extend my adventure of this world with other media. Let's face it, it's quite a universe and it's because of games like this and the excellent work of the developer teams that there will always be more followers. An excellent adventure in general that should please many players. Not to be missed if you already like League of Legends, and to be discovered if you don't.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor picks up where we left off with a little extra. The game brings depth to the basics that we had with Fallen Order to our delight. Cal is not only an accomplished Jedi, he is now a master of lightsaber combat. This is one of the best adventure games of the last few years and it will be hard not to compare all the upcoming Star Wars titles with Survivor. It's not a perfect title, as demonstrated by the small technical issues in texture and in the cinematics. But it remains among the best titles in the George Lucas universe.

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is an excellent compilation to bring the series out of the shadows. There's a whole generation that hasn't been able to experience it yet, so why not do it now on Switch. The learning curve should certainly satisfy fans of the genre and the 60 to 80 hours of single-player campaign too. WayForward did an amazing job and hopefully it'll be the start of a long partnership for futur games of the series.

Mojang Studios and Microsoft can be proud of their success in adapting the massive Minecraft franchise into a brand new adventure. Minecraft Legends offers a strategic experience that mixes cooperation and confrontation. A complete campaign mode perfectly accompanies the wonderful cinematics designed by the studio in addition to the additions already planned for the coming months. If the gameplay is not perfect and we can feel a little frustrated during our games, the title remains a great introduction for the neophytes of the genre. On their side, the regulars should also find their account with the PvP modes.

It's hard to really criticize anything in this collection. Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection offers everything a fan of the series could want: all the titles in the series, an online mode, some extra content and a more than acceptable visual quality. Obviously, if you're not a fan of the series, you might as well go on your way. But for those who are interested, this is a good buy and a good title to have in your collection.

Pour les personnes comme moi qui carburent au roguelike par les temps qui courent, Have a Nice Death fait définitivement partie des jeux qui méritent votre attention. La direction artistique est sublime, le jeu a une bonne durée de vie à un prix raisonnable et offre un bon défi. Il est loin d’être parfait en raison de sa difficulté un peu trop élevée et de ses explications un peu trop floues. Mais rien qui ne peut pas être réglé par des mises-à-jour par les développeurs. La mort n’a jamais été aussi plaisante.
