Per quanto l’ondata di successo che sta travolgendo Helldivers 2 possa sembrare sorprendente e per certi versi inaspettata, in realtà non c’è troppo da meravigliarsi se lo sparatutto cooperativo di Arrowhead Game Studios è riuscito a far breccia nel cuore dei giocatori e degli addetti ai lavori. Il passaggio dalla visuale isometrica alla prospettiva in terza persona ha donato una marcia in più all’intera esperienza di gioco, decisamente più coinvolgente nel proporre vere e proprie battaglie campali contro letali minacce aliene da sradicare con armi da fuoco, attacchi orbitali e un gioco di squadra che si rende necessario qualora si decida di sposare la causa delle Super Terra in compagnia di altri valorosi Helldiver. Il team di sviluppo svedese ha effettivamente concepito uno shooter PvE che sa come tenere alta la concentrazione, sebbene sia ancora afflitto da alcuni problemi di stabilità e proponga un sistema di sblocco degli equipaggiamenti che strizza un po’ troppo l’occhio al grinding. La base di partenza è comunque più che buona e, con un supporto post-lancio all’altezza della situazione, potrebbe seriamente ambire a diventare uno dei migliori giochi multiplayer di questa generazione.

Intrinsèquement excellent, Lumo est toutefois touché par une drôle de malédiction dans sa version PlayStation 4 : un problème de sauvegarde corrompue rendant l'expérience presque caduque. Dommage car le jeu est vraiment très bon, s'inspirant d'un genre oublié et bénéficiant d'une direction artistique réussie. Plus important encore : il mêle habilement modernité (gestion des continus, exploration, etc.) et codes d'autrefois. Toujours est-il que, pour l'instant, vous devrez faire le jeu d'une traite ou presque, non pas avec la peur des fantômes mais avec celle d'un écran noir s'affichant à chaque nouveau décor. Lumo durant cinq ou six heures (encore faut-il survivre à la difficulté du mode old school), pas facile de pardonner ce bien mauvais sort.

20 ans. C'est, souvent, l'âge symbolisant la jeunesse à son plein potentiel. C'est aussi la période qui s'est écoulée entre la sortie de Mario vs Donkey Kong sur Game Boy Advance et son remake. Il arrive en exclusivité sur Nintendo Switch le 16 février et est l'objet d'une excellente cure de jouvence de la part de "Big N". Le côté réflexion marche toujours aussi bien ; des fonctionnalités permettent de moderniser le soft ; un contenu inédit de prolonger sa durée de vie ; sans oublier la mise à jour graphique plus que soignée qui fera oublier les traits pixelisés de la version originale. Mario vs Donkey Kong a pris un sacré coup de jeune grâce à un remake comme l'on aimerait en voir plus souvent. Un excellent jeu pour attendre avec impatience les prochains jeux du plombier. Remake ou non.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft is an imperfect update but a tremendous package overall, offering a satisfying mix of exploration, puzzle solving and action with enough content to keep you occupied for dozens of hours. While most of the puzzles won’t stall hardcore adventure fans for long, they are nevertheless well-designed and the games encourage exploring to find all the hidden secrets – a formidable challenge for even the experienced gamer. The series looks better than ever with a graphical overhaul, but they’re still clearly old games reskinned rather than brand new AAA games released today. The new control scheme will be embraced by those who found the original mechanics too cumbersome, and yet doing some of the games’ more precise platforming segments may not be as intuitive as before. For longtime series fans, this collection is ultimately singing to the choir – prettier and more flexible, but perhaps without enough significant benefit to make them necessary. But you get three full games and all related expansions in one bundle, with enough options between new and old iterations to cater to any player’s preference. So if you’re missing any games from your collection, or are a fan of the later Tomb Raiders and wondering how it all started, this is an absolute must buy.

Tel un bon vin qui s’affine avec le temps, plus nous progressions dans l’aventure de Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, plus nous l’apprécions. Bien qu’un peu rigide au début, avec le temps son gameplay s’est enrichi et son scénario s’est étoffé. De nouvelles mécaniques se sont dévoilées et dès que les premiers dominos sont tombés, nous n’avons plus lâché la manette. Si la force du jeu ne réside pas dans son gameplay de combat, qui est tout à fait respectable sans être véritablement novateur, celui-ci repose assurément dans sa dimension RPG et son très riche scénario qui se laisse dévorer avec appétit. Le tout, bien sûr, dans des environnements magnifiques avec des personnages attachants et des enquêtes tortueuses. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden est assurément une belle surprise de ce début d’année 2024.

Tomb Raider ya tiene el recopilatorio clásico que necesitaba, lejos de los lujos de Anniversary. Este remaster se centra principalmente en mejorar el apartado gráfico respetando siempre la obra original de Core Design, lo que le hace arrastrar errores ya existentes. Un viaje por la nostalgia para los fans de la serie.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is one of Aspyr's most accomplished projects to date, successfully giving three of gaming's most iconic titles a much-needed lick of paint while upgrading the controls to give newcomers a welcome leg-up. Some of the lighting is a bit off with the new visuals, and the need to manually save your game is a big no-no in 2024, but if you're curious as to how Lara Croft got her start in gaming, then this is easily the best way to experience the original trilogy.

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Starring Lara Croft is a lovingly crafted compilation which may set a new standard for PS1 re-releases moving forward. Based on the original source code, this trilogy flawlessly reframes three iconic PS1 puzzle platformers as you remember them – warts and all. While you will need patience to navigate this trilogy of globe-trotting escapades, the upgraded art style sticks closely to Core Design’s intended vision and it’s a genuine pleasure to experience these 90s classics on all-new hardware. It’s comprehensive, too, with each game’s expansion pack included – and an enormous list of Trophies to unlock.

Mario vs Donkey Kong serves up a slick return to the 2004 GBA adventure that finds fresh fun in cooperative play. Yep, the new co-op mode really is the star of the show this time out and, alongside two new worlds, 'Plus' versions of each level, a Time Attack mode, and fancy new looks and sounds, there's plenty to dig into and enjoy with a core puzzle/platforming setup that has aged quite well. Just be aware that, if you're a more seasoned player looking for platforming challenges, this game finds its strengths as an experience for younger gamers or as a co-op title to enjoy with your kids. Taken as such, it absolutely earns a recommendation.

Forse uno potrebbe pensare che non valga la pena recuperare a prezzo pieno un’esperienza uscita nel 2004 e destinata al mercato delle console portatili, anche a fronte delle novità e dell’offerta “mariesca” di questo periodo, particolarmente generosa. Io stesso, prima di mettere le mani sul gioco, ero un pochino scettico, ma devo ammettere che Nintendo tanto per cambiare ha lavorato per bene, realizzando un remake intrigante e incredibilmente ricco, capace di regalare ore e ore di gioco tanto agli utenti smaliziati quanto alle nuove leve. Forse, ecco, si sarebbe potuto fare qualcosina di più in termini artistici, ma lato gameplay non c’è davvero da lamentarsi.

The world didn’t real need a Mario Vs. Donkey Kong remake but this is still the absolute best effort Nintendo could’ve made, with tons of new content and the same enjoyable but undemanding puzzles as before.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong may lack the razzle dazzle of its stars’ more recent games, but this remake still has the power to hook players with its tried-and-true retro platforming and a finely-tuned difficulty curve that culminates in some challenges that will truly test your mind and reflexes. Those who have played the original Mario vs. DK to death may not find quite enough new content here, but lapsed fans and new players are in for a barrel of fun.

As the Nintendo Switch winds down, so too do the bigger releases on the system, but there’s a few nuggets of goodness that remain on the release schedule. Mario vs Donkey Kong can be considered one such nugget, a nostalgia trip that will keep the kiddos entertained and the older kiddos occupied for a good while. I enjoyed a chance to rediscover its style, and the modern coat of paint and new modes are welcome additions to an otherwise solid piece of entertainment.
