Stellar Blade is a mostly enjoyable action game with solid combat, strong presentation, and good enemy designs. Its scantily clad heroine is not very interesting, and neither is the story, but there is enough here to warrant a peek.

Stellar Blade wears its inspirations on its sleeves, and has some neat ideas by its integration of soulslike mechanics into a character action game. There are certainly parts where this game shines bright, but it has its fair shares of aspects where it could’ve delivered more. And there are parts of the game that may annoy and frustrate players. But for a relatively new team tackling their first big-budget AAA blockbuster game, Shift Up can be proud with its debut entry. Between this game and Lies Of P, it’s cool to see more games of this scale coming out of South Korea. And there’s at least one more coming soon from another established developer. As it is, Stellar Blade is one beautiful rose, and every rose has its thorns.

A charming, cartoonish action role-player that’s probably not going to make Sand Land the next Dragon Ball but is a fun and unusual adventure in its own right.

Sand Land è solo un buon gioco, come direbbe qualcuno: un'esperienza piacevole ma per molti versi datata, capace di portare efficacemente sullo schermo lo stile di Akira Toriyama con un cel shading strepitoso che tuttavia non viene supportato da animazioni all'altezza, mentre gli scenari desertici che caratterizzano l'ambientazione principale si rivelano ben poco interessanti da esplorare. Le meccaniche legate all'uso dei veicoli però funzionano, così come i combattimenti, pur con tutta una serie di distinguo, e così alla fine ILCA si porta a casa un risultato discreto, che i fan di Sand Land apprezzeranno.

Sand Land è quindi un tie-in non pienamente riuscito sul fronte ludico e contenutistico, ma è un adattamento videoludico che esprime tantissimo affetto nei confronti dell’opera da cui è tratto. Una gestione divertente e variegata dell’arsenale di veicoli e un cast di personaggi carismatici fanno da contraltare ad un open world scialbo e a un combat system piuttosto farraginoso. Per tutto il resto c’è la nostalgia a fare da padrona, in un’avventura rivolta principalmente ai fan dell’adorabile Beelzebub.

En se basant sur les principes fondateurs de TopSpin 4, cette nouvelle mouture rebrandée 2K25 est une immense réussite sur le plan du gameplay. On va faire simple, le talent des développeurs de Hangar 13 et la passion pour le tennis du game director du jeu, Remi Ercolani, en font tout simplement le meilleur gameplay de Tennis de tous les temps et on y est depuis Pong ! Malheureusement le contenu ne suit pas, et si les efforts en termes de tournois sous licence, de marques présentes ou encore de réduction drastique de l’influence de la monnaie virtuelle sont d’excellents points pour TopSpin 2K25, certains aspects nous laissent finalement ce goût amer de jouer à une version early access du jeu. Pas de matchmaking entre amis, un roster d’athlètes extrêmement restreint et une progression en carrière assez mal calibrée indiquent que le jeu n’est pas totalement au point au lancement. Ceci étant, le pillier essentiel de TopSpin 2K25 atteint la quasi perfection, et avec un gameplay aussi réussi, 2K doit entendre le message, soutenez la licence, on arrive bientôt au banger indispensable !

Top Spin 2K25 farà la gioia di tutti gli appassionati dello sport grazie a un gameplay appagante e, complice un'ottima modalità allenamento, è accessibile anche a chi sta approcciando la disciplina soltanto da poco. Molto buone le animazioni che immergono sui numerosi e variabili campi da gioco, ma la veste grafica generale non è delle più moderne e si poteva fare decisamente di più per ampliare un roster davvero risicato. Le modalità di gioco sono obbiettivamente poche, eppure le partite sono così appassionanti da allontanare lo spettro della noia. Insomma, ci troviamo di fronte a un grande ritorno per la serie.

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is a decent game, but it sits in the shadow of much better Metroidvanias on the Switch. We love the setting and storyline, but as Surgent Studios' first stab at what has proven to be a wildly popular genre over the years, it struggles to set itself apart with rather bland exploration and repetitive combat. Coupled with compromised visuals and performance on Switch, veterans of the genre may want to give this one a miss. For newcomers, however, the breezy gameplay might make for a nice introduction to Metroidvanias.

Stellar Blade ha superato le nostre aspettative, dimostrando ancora una volta come nell'ecosistema dello sviluppo coreano i team talentuosi non manchino. Non è certo un gioco privo di difetti, e subisce un po' troppo il confronto diretto con le sue principali ispirazioni non raggiungendone mai realmente le vette, tuttavia si tratta di un action dal ritmo serrato, estremamente solido e tecnicamente impeccabile. Una validissima prima prova in questo campo per Shift Up, che lascia ben sperare per i progetti futuri del team.

Qomp2 offers a fresh take on the classic Pong formula, introducing a unique premise and challenging gameplay. While it may not appeal to everyone due to its departure from the raw simplicity of the original, fans of puzzle games and those seeking a unique gaming experience will find enjoyment in its artful reimagining. The game’s diverse boss fights and hidden collectibles add depth and replay value, making it a worthwhile endeavour for those willing to embrace its challenges.

Lors de notre preview, nous avions décrété que Stellar Blade pouvait devenir la nouvelle étoile du jeu d’action. Aujourd’hui, après plus de trente heures de jeu, on est en mesure de le confirmer tant le savant mélange des genres qu’il nous propose nous tient en haleine de bout en bout, et ce, malgré les multiples couacs soulignés dans notre test. Si nous avions nourri des attentes pendant des mois et des mois à son sujet, Stellar Blade les dépasse aisément. Le gameplay ne cesse de se pimenter, les styles de jeu décuplent la manière d’approcher les combats, l’univers et les graphismes nous emportent et le travail conjoint de Shift Up et Monaca sur les musiques en font vraiment une aventure qui n’a pas à rougir face à NieR : Automata ou aux autres cadors.

Harold Halibut is more interactive experience than game, but what an experience it is. The craft and imagination that went into literally building the world is incredible to behold, and the voice acting and cinematic soundtrack both fit perfectly. It’s also refreshing to see obvious sci-fi tropes sidelined in favour of smaller-scale, character-driven stories. That said, it can feel slow and meandering, especially without puzzles to solve or choices to make. I definitely wouldn’t have minded a little less backtracking and a little more to do, but I kept wanting to dive back in anyway, because as idiosyncratic as they are, the characters and world both felt so charmingly real and relatable. It’s definitely not for everyone, but if you’re willing to lean back, take your time and go with the flow, life aboard the Fedora I offers an experience that’s both alien and compellingly human.
