La PS5 poursuit donc avec Stellar Blade sa lancée des portages d’excellente facture de ses exclusivités phares. Techniquement et visuellement quasiment irréprochable, encore plus plaisant à jouer avec une jouissive fluidité constante (mais de préférence avec une manette), le tout sans connexion au PSN obligatoire, cette version PC du titre de Shift Up met donc encore la barre très haut. Si vous l’attendiez pour partir à l’aventure en compagnie d’EVE et si vous ne disposez pas d’une PS5 Pro, vous pouvez donc y aller les yeux fermés, sauf si le prix de ses différentes éditions pourrait être un frein pour vous.

Dune: Awakening è sia un ottimo survival, sia un tributo rigoroso all'universo creato da Frank Herbert nonostante sia ambientato in una timeline alternativa. La campagna ha una struttura tipica del genere survival-crafting con risorse e zone a livello crescente e una narrativa ispirata alla ricerca dei Fremen fatta da Duncan Idaho nei libri e nel primo film. I combattimenti sono intensi e hanno una decisa curva di apprendimento, ma le unità nemiche sono davvero poche. La progressione è tarata alla perfezione e tiene sempre lontani noia e grind: il mondo è pieno di pericoli e opportunità, tutti organizzati secondo un codice colore che mette in chiaro benefici e rischi di ogni attività. L'endgame è massiccio, in costante cambiamento, complesso e impegnativo, cosa che lo rende davvero accessibile solo a chi è un membro attivo della sua gilda e del suo server. C'è tanto divertimento nella campagna e nelle attività di fine gioco PvE ma l'esperienza definitiva è intrisa di PvP e per vincere bisogna essere molto preparati. Ce n'è per tutti (o quasi) in Dune: Awakening, e siamo convinti che Funcom abbia fatto i giusti compromessi così da creare un'esperienza accessibile ma con tante potenzialità e che vale l'investimento di tempo ed energie per chi vuole dedicarcisi anima e corpo.

Splitgate 2 is an interesting sequel. In a lot of ways, it fixes the issues we had with the original; it looks nicer, runs better, gameplay is far improved, there’s a lot of content on offer, and the portal mechanic is good fun to learn. It's a great pick for those casual sessions with your mates, but we still can't help but feel underwhelmed by it all. The maps are fine, and the cosmetics are dull as dishwater. If you removed the portal mechanics — which were arguably more freeing in the first Splitgate — you'd be left with a competent, but ultimately uninspired shooter.

When its performance is stable and you’re explosively blasting your way through robots, MindsEye can masquerade as a serviceable action shooter for a few minutes at a time. Its near-future setting and driving feel also impress. However, its flashy graphics and cinematics can’t otherwise hide its distinct lack of substance. High on ambition but low on original ideas, MindsEye’s rigid mission design renders its open world largely pointless – and it’s consistently undermined by vanilla combat, janky AI enemies, and its sloppy frame rate and bugs. Throw in its insultingly unfinished free roaming component and it’s clear it was simply not ready to be released. If you had your sights set on MindsEye, think again.

Dès son annonce, MindsEye a attiré notre attention et le studio Build A Rocket Boy est parvenu à nous hyper. Hélas, au fil des mois, la communication très étrange du studio a transformé notre excitation en méfiance, jusqu’à nous faire douter. Force est de constater qu’on avait vu juste. MindsEye est clairement le gros raté de cette première partie de l’année. Un jeu qui n’est pas terminé, extrêmement buggué, instable, dépassé techniquement sur tous les points, avec une histoire intéressante, mais vraiment mal écrite. Cela nous donne un titre sans réel intérêt, qui vous occupera entre 10 et 12h. Comme quoi, même quand on s’appelle Leslie Benzies et que l’on a été le producteur de l’une des plus grosses saga de jeu vidéo et de la pop culture, cela ne fait pas tout pour diriger le développement complet d’un jeu qui se voulait être ambitieux et qui, finalement, est le pétard mouillé de l’été. On espère que le studio parviendra à proposer les mises à jour nécessaires, rapidement, pour permettre au moins d’avoir un jeu stable, sans bug.

No Man's Sky - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition brings this excellent, constantly evolving space survival adventure to your new Nintendo console in fine style. This is an almost-perfect match for other versions of the game, barring some very minor hiccups here and there.

Yakuza 0 is the best of the traditional-styled Yakuza games, with the most complex story and interesting characters of the lot. It's also the ideal place for newcomers to get started with this weird and wonderful series.

Kunitsu-Gami was a real surprise. A solid blend of strategy and action that incorporates aspects of Shinto and Japanese folklore to create a visually stunning experience. It's a great showcase for Switch 2, even if mouse controls might not quite work for everyone.

Welcome Tour is a calming, surprisingly engaging hardware exhibition with a handful of cool minigames, a trove of interesting info, and some neat demos that showcase exactly what the little system can do. It makes you feel good about buying the thing, which makes the platform holder's decision not to bundle it with the console utterly baffling. Featuring expensive add-ons you might not own also won't impress anyone who's indignant that the company wants another 10 bucks for this.

Fast Fusion may not have the most comprehensive collection of tracks, but it's easily the most accomplished entry in Shin'en Multimedia's series so far. The new jump ability adds a new layer of strategy to the gameplay, while experimenting with the fusion mechanic to find the perfect vehicle is a joy. The occasional grinding to save up money can be a momentary drag, but if you're after something a bit more 'hardcore' than Mario Kart World, Fast Fusion is a no-brainer, and an absolute must-buy.

Street Fighter 6 on Switch 2 is a cracker, and in portable mode, it could well become my preferred way to play this fantastic entry in Capcom's storied franchise. The only fly in the ointment with this port is 30fps fights in World Tour. It's a shame, and it's 100% gonna be a dealbreaker for some.
