On Nintendo Switch, Dungeon of the Endless is still an excellent and cruel mix of Rouge-like, Tower Defense, RPG and strategy. Port is good, even if it stumbles occasionnally when there are too many ennemies on screen, and it plays well, may you progress with a pad configuration and/or touch screen. It always has something to bring you down, but is charming and deep enough to urge you to go for another try and be more thoughtful. And lucky. Brilliant.

Bloodstained : Curse of the Moon 2 is a splendid sequel, that has a lot to offer to players that are in need of some classic Castlevania experience. It offers a good challenge and has some pretty brilliant new ideas and feels like a very good NES game, which is compliment, that is very enjoyable for two players. Question : where do we have to sign for a third episode ?

8 / 10 - Quantum Break
Apr 1, 2016

Just like Alan Wake, Quantum Break launches into choices that will prevent him from being unanimous. For some it will be a title whose frame, staging, narration and artistic direction will be more than enough. For others, more concerned with pure gameplay, a TPS that is certainly pretty, dynamic and spectacular, but which does not manage to exceed some of its promises. Quantum Break does not succeed without fault, but it nevertheless manages to unite video game and cinema with panache, in particular thanks to its well-crafted history and its top actors. And if you were counting on a good series for a warm weekend, know that it can be interactive and of quality.

Astro's Playroom is a truly adorable and joyful platformer. Even if a bit short and not very difficult, it shows the potential of the DualSense as we go through some lovely levels with some funny ideas and a lot to remember about the whole PlayStation brand. Definitely worth your time.

8 / 10 - The Pathless
Nov 20, 2020

Somewhere between Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Shadow of the Colossus and Journey, The Pathless is a beautiful and very pleasant experience, that feels very clever, smooth and relaxing. If you feel the need to travel somewhere else in this complicated time, just give a chance to this game.

Can't resist the appeal of this second DLC. If the 3 drivers (Marie, the villager and Skelet Bowser) and 4 vehicles have no other claim than to satisfy lovers of cosmetic diversity, it is obviously the circuits that allow the machine to be restarted. With very well approached "reprises" such as the merry Baby Parc and the picky Koopapolis of Mario Kart 7 and the new downright rejoicing, the Big Blue drawn from F-Zero in the lead, we can say that the tracks bring a real renewal.

Blood and Wine is a delicacy, not necessarily difficult to chew but raised just right so that fans keep an unforgettable memory of their time spent in the company of Geralt de Rivia.

8 / 10 - Cyber Shadow
Feb 22, 2021

Cyber Shadow is an impressive old school ninja game. The kind of retro experience that can't be recommended to everyone, as it shines by being very very difficult, but a challenge that some stubborn players asking themselves if they still have good reflexes and memory will enjoy for sure.

LEGO Builder's Journey is an amazing experience, even more for players who own a computer that can handle Ray-Tracing. It's simple, efficient, charming and it even if it's short and has a few issues, can please anyone, child or adult.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles reunites, at last for westerners, two very good games, probably among the best of the franchise. Capcom lets us discover exciting cases, brilliantly written, and some memorable characters. Not very difficult, but indeed very joyful. A must-have for fans and a maybe the best way to discover this amazing franchise.

8 / 10 - Psychonauts 2
Aug 23, 2021

Psychonauts 2 is another great entry in the series, a action-platformer that can look a bit stiff and not very challenging, but has a lot of surface to explore and motivates us to explore every corner thanks to its incredible art direction, stellar characters and story. One of the most refreshing games of 2021.

7 / 10 - 2Dark
Mar 12, 2017

Disturbing, violent, gloomy, 2Dark is a nice old-school looking game with an amazing atmosphere. Those who love survival and stealth will find a truly decent challenge.

This fourth episode succeeds by taking its time to tell us more about characters we didn't know much about and by litterally exploding at its end, letting us in great need for what's next.

Another solid (but still short) entry in this elegant series, with a strong central theme and vibrant characters.

7 / 10 - Pyre
Aug 2, 2017

If you only consider its narrative, art direction, music and lore, Pyre is absolulety gorgeous. But its "combat" mechanic just doesn't succeed in being totally fun.

It feels great to be back in Arcadia Bay. Deck Nine hasn't lost the magic of Life is Strange and this first chapter of the prequel lets us imagine a touching story with great characters and probably counting decisions.

7 / 10 - FIFA 18
Sep 21, 2017

Definitely solid in terms of presentation and game modes, even though The Journey is still far from perfect, FIFA 18 sadly feels like a FIFA 17.5 with a lot of emphasis on attack - which can please a lot of players but not those who are looking for something fresh and some football games with a realistic pace.

Serial Cleaner is engaging (and laughably gory) stealth game with an awesome atmosphere, easy to pick up and play. Too bad it lacks variety to feel great from start to finish.

Joyful, inspiring and darker than the previous chapters, Closure is a good conclusion to an elegant narrative experience.

Nothing unexpected in The Frozen Wilds. It adds a few pleasant features, a lot of cool characters, sidequests, content, challenges and things to collect to the recipe of a great game. As it's extending its universe well, we can say the job is done. And now we're waiting for the next chapter.
