The Operator est sans doute LE jeu d’enquête narratif pas très cher qu’il faut absolument faire cet été. Avec une histoire prenante, une écriture bien ciselée et des énigmes franchement malines, le titre de Bureau 81 est une petite pépite vidéoludique indépendante à ne manquer sous aucun prétexte. Bien qu’il soit court et qu’il subsiste des écueils dans certains éléments de gameplay sous-exploités ainsi que dans l’interface, The Operator est malgré tout toujours prenant. On restera certes sur notre faim vis-à-vis de l’histoire ornée d’un cliffhanger mais qu’importe, l’ambiance immersive et la simplicité de son gameplay nous accrochent jusqu’au bout, tout en restant diablement plaisant du début à la fin.

Earth Defense Force 6 is a pretty basic game, but what it lacks in complexity, it makes up for in silly fun. Blowing up hordes and buildings with your buddy, using these wildly unbalanced weapons, all while losing our minds anytime the game tries to do cool things in the story, it all makes for an excellent experience in co-op. So really we feel we can only recommend this if you have someone to play with. You’re going to be buying a game that is extremely unpolished but will give you literal hours of laughing together with a friend and that’s worth every penny to be honest. Try EDF6 with a friend if you think this would be appealing to you. Just maybe try playing on PlayStation 4 or 5 instead for the smoother experience.

Beau et terriblement malin, pas trop long, Arranger nettoie les neurones même s'il va parfois un peu vite, et que sa fin n'est pas aussi soignée que les précédentes heures. Très amusant.

Nobody Wants to Die’s relatively brief story isn’t a completely original concept, but it has a cool mix of inspirations and unique worldbuilding touches that all work well together to create something new and engaging. There’s a bit too much hand-holding for a game about the art of investigation, but its conversation system picks up the slack with humor, unexpected outcomes, and a surprisingly deep story about how impactful your past can be on your present — even when you’re facing immortality.

Kunitsu Gami : Path of the Godess parvient à mélanger l’action et la stratégie de manière très brillante et parvient à nous surprendre de manière continue afin d’éviter une lassitude certaine. Bien que le cœur du gameplay soit identique, les détails changent, changeant ainsi toute la dimension stratégique. Si l’on peut penser que les coups d’épée sont au centre du jeu il n’en est rien. C’est la mise en place des divers éléments qui sont les plus importants, sans oublier la gestion de vos ressources. De plus, la gestion cyclique jour/nuit est brillamment utilisé et la direction artistique colle parfaitement avec les différents cycles pour notre plus grande immersion. Cependant, la difficulté non linéaire est assez compliquée à gérer et peut rebuter les moins patients.

Earth Defense Force 6 is yet another riotous entry in one of the most ridiculous and corny series ever to make very poor use of our fancy gaming hardware. It looks at least a decade out of date, is absolutely dripping with plot holes and awful voice acting, and has some of the silliest combat I’ve seen in a long time – but all of that only works to its credit, coming together as a game I’ve happily lost dozens of hours of my life to while giggling like an idiot. Not all of its rough edges add to its charm, though, and an overly long campaign filled with repetitive levels and some irritating design choices definitely work against it. But those things are pretty easy to forgive when you accidentally blow your friends up with a rocket launcher that sends giant ants sailing into the air and skyscrapers crumbling into rubble.

It’s the same old EDF in terms of graphics, gameplay, and the swarm of (mostly intentional) bugs but online co-op and a mountain of content means it still holds a special charm.

I think I get it now. Earth Defence Force is like the conventionally unattractive partner you experimented with in your youth. They were so grateful for your attention, and in turn, really knew how to show their appreciation. A genuine guilty pleasure of the kind that you might be a bit sheepish to introduce to friends because they buck the trend of traditional beauty (and they just sound a bit weird). But goddamn it, you grew from having indulged the relationship with the ugly duckling. It’s great coming back to that partner as I settle into adulthood. They don’t give a shit about how they look, are mostly stable, have a pleasant demeanour, and still aim to please by exploding all over my jorts. Reviewed on PS5 // Review code supplied by publisher

Dare un giudizio a Nobody Wants to Die è un vero sforzo. Da un lato la direzione artistica e l’atmosfera sono pressoché perfetti, tra le migliori che abbia mai visto. Dall’altro lato mi sono ritrovato a vedere un gioco che abbandona le sue premesse per diventare qualcosa di introspettivo e caratterizzato da una conclusione che non ho trovato soddisfacente, in ogni modo possa vederla. Ci sono quattro finali nel gioco e non considero positivo nessuno di essi, dal momento che tutta l’ultima parte di gioco risulta fin troppo strana e forzata. Nonostante la sbandata finale, però, il mio giudizio rimane positivo: Nobody Wants to Die è un gioco che merita di essere provato.
