Mario Golf: Super Rush introduces fun new ways to play golf including Speed Golf and Battle Mode. Camelot really has reached his peak in terms of technique and quality of gameplay. It's particularly fun to play with the Joy-Con motions which has been improved over Wii Sports. It's just too bad the solo adventure doesn't pack much of a punch and that there's no tournament mode this time. I hope Camelot will spend a bit more time putting the finishing touches the next time around.

Wonder Boy : Asha in the Monster World was an excellent game back in 1994. Unfortunately, today's remake isn't spicy enough. The game is a classic, but it fails to stand out in today's world especially considering the heavy competition on the market. It's mainly good for the nostalgia if your heart really wants to give it a go.

Subnautica: Below Zero proposes an experience very similar to the first game. It doesn't bring a lot of new elements which will probably dissapoint a few players. However, the fun factor is still very present.

Evil Genius 2 : World Domination brings back good memories with an experience offering similar sensations. In the end, I appreciated the content provided, but it is a bit repetitive and offers very little new additions. Hopefully, the additional content coming in the futur will help vary the gameplay a bit.

7 / 10.0 - Outriders
Apr 9, 2021

Outriders is not the most innovating title and doesn't really deliver the greatest experience in its genre. Nevertheless, when playing in coop and if you're fan of the genre, you could quickly forget the flaws and enjoy the experience. The game is going to have to bring a lot of additionnal content quickly if it hopes to keep an active community.

7.5 / 10.0 - SCHiM
Jul 15, 2024

SCHiM is certainly not a game like the others. While it offers a rather simple platform experience, its artistic direction sets it apart from the competition. The title remains accessible, with some sequences that require a little more brain-teasing. Jumping from shadow to shadow is utterly enjoyable. The fairly short straight-line adventure (3h) is sufficient, however, as towards the end you feel you have to repeat the same actions over and over again. Nevertheless, in my opinion, it's a must-do experience if you're looking for something refreshing.

7.5 / 10.0 - BIOMORPH
Jun 3, 2024

While the game lacks polish on several occasions, it is nonetheless a valiant effort and a worthy first opus. There's no doubt that the members of Lucid Dream grew up on Super Nintendo classics, and their love for the medium is felt. Biomorph is an amalgam of influences, old and new, that doesn't always manage to reveal its own identity, but remains an interesting detour for fans of metroidvanias.

7.5 / 10.0 - Once a Tale
Jun 3, 2024

Being a fan of classic tales, I was excited to try Once a Tale. As well as following the adventures of the siblings abandoned by their parents in the forest, the integration of other well-known characters is perfectly suited. There are even optional allusions to collectables, such as Jean de La Fontaine's fable The Raven and the Fox. The developers have devoted a great deal of research and respect to the original works. They pay tribute to them in their own way, and it works quite well.

7.5 / 10.0 - The Planet Crafter
Jun 1, 2024

The Planet Crafter was created by the tiny French studio Miju Games. After a long period of early access, there's no denying that the title has greatly improved. What's more, this definitive version will continue to improve with the addition of new content, free of charge. The title offers an original and observable idea, as well as being playable in multiplayer with friends. While it can be criticized for being a little too slow in the middle of the game, it's still a fun experience for fans of the genre.

Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is a short adventure that immerses the player in an entertaining investigation, full of twists and turns. The full dubbing adds enormously to the fun. While I'd have liked more, I hope the developers will take advantage of this experience to offer a similar, slightly longer game in the near future. I particularly recommend the game to fans of narrative adventure and puzzles who are looking for a small, low-cost experience.

Princess Peach: Showtime! is an excellent game for someone new to the world of video games. Although the game is aimed primarily at a youth audience, I can also see how someone who plays very little will enjoy the experience (without naming Joanie directly!). The game has a nice proposition and enough variety, but a lifespan that doesn't explain the high price tag. But if you're an avid gamer with years of gaming under your belt, it's highly likely that the adventures of our princess won't be enough to keep your interest for very long.

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.

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.

7.5 / 10.0 - The Universim
Feb 9, 2024

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.

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.

Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is a game that would have deserved much better visibility from Ubisoft. The title is without doubt the most beautiful ever developed by the publisher, and offers a perfect adaptation of the world imagined by James Cameron. Without offering an experience that reinvents the genre, the title remains solid on its feet. However, there's a sense that the game is trying to do too much without going too deeply into its features. Not to mention that the developers have done an extraordinary job in building Pandora, but our immersion is often disrupted by numerous fades to black and small loadouts. All in all, the title remains fun, and players looking for an immersive adventure in the Na'Vi community will be convinced.

7.5 / 10.0 - Cities: Skylines 2
Nov 30, 2023

Cities Skylines 2 brings its share of new features, including even more in-depth management of your city. The financial aspect is more difficult and may come as a surprise to some, but after a few attempts you'll get the hang of it. However, the heavy tutorial for older players and the numerous technical problems spoil the experience for many.

Little Goody Two Shoes is a special game. The animation is reminiscent of the animated films of my youth. There's a retro grain to the image, with transitions from the 4:3 ratio to today's 16:9. Some scenes are reminiscent of the classics, like Dorothée (The Wizard of Oz) when Élise kicks off her red shoes, or Little Red Riding Hood, just because of the way she dresses and lives in a forest.

7.5 / 10.0 - EA Sports UFC 5
Nov 16, 2023

The license doesn't suffer the same fate as some of the publisher's sports games, and this allows the developers to make some real changes. This is the case for EA Sports UFC 5, which benefits from the use of the Frosbite engine and brings a number of visual novelties while fine-tuning its gameplay. Realism is the order of the day, with an injury system that affects our fights and longevity in career mode. Nevertheless, the title remains relatively inaccessible to new players, while the content itself remains rather weak. If you're not a fan of career mode, online battles become very repetitive. It's clear, however, that the franchise is heading in the right direction.

In closing, The Return of Detective Pikachu is an entertaining spin-off that brings a fun new perspective to the universe. Sure, there are a few flaws, but the heartfelt story should satisfy even the youngest fans of the franchise.
