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 un gioco che cerca di fare un po' di tutto, senza eccellere realmente. La sua identità risiede nell'essere un gioco tie-in dell'omonima opera di Akira Toriyama e per quanto siano apprezzabili i tentativi di creare contenuti narrativamente inediti, al di là di una certa sbrigatività di fondo nel raccontarla è dal punto di vista del gameplay che il gioco si mostra claudicante. I veicoli sono l'aspetto più accattivante ma a causa di ambientazioni blande e di una vera e propria mancanza di varietà a dispetto delle open map che lo distinguono, la loro valorizzazione è piuttosto ridotta. Se siete appassionati del compianto Toriyama e delle sue opere, che qui prendono vita grazie a un ottimo uso del cel shading, potreste chiudere gli occhi su alcuni difetti che, in certi casi, superano i pregi; in caso contrario, il gioco di ILCA si rivela un'esperienza che sfortunatamente non riesce a risultare memorabile.

No inventa la rueda, pero su recreación del mundo desértico y, sobre todo, sus batallas de vehículos le dan mucha personalidad. Ideal para el que quiera una aventura ligera y muy toriyamesca.

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.

Sand Land is a fitting farewell to Akira Toriyama as the game elevates itself above most digital adaptations of his work, delivering a well-presented story, solid action, and satisfying exploration. Some aspects of the game’s design may be a bit overfamiliar for open-world veterans, but newer players and fans just looking to explore a fresh world from the master will likely enjoy burying themselves in this sandy adventure.

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 !

La sortie de ce nouveau Top Spin est un évènement gâché par des choix malencontreux : les sensations sont au rendez-vous, mais la connexion obligatoire pour le jeu en solo est dure à avaler. Un jeu éphémère.

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.

Si estás buscando Suikoden 6, aquí no es. Eiyuden Chronicle es un juego complejo de valorar con grandes virtudes a favor, pero también con puntos bajos que lo lastran. Como sucesor espiritual de la saga de Konami, no me ha dado el tono y los matices que esperaba pero como JRPG tiene todos los ingredientes que un título del género necesita para que lo disfrute. Las expectativas sumadas a una versión idealizada del pasado no le hacen favores al primer título de Rabbit & Bear, pero, si te acercas a él libre de prejuicios, lo que vas a encontrar es una aventura de corte retro ideal para los amantes de los juegos de rol japoneses clásicos.

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.

Entre un gameplay grand public presque irréprochable mais un contenu et une réalisation soufflant davantage le chaud et le (très ?) froid pour une production de ce calibre, TopSpin 2K25 est un bon jeu de tennis à défaut d’être celui dont on rêvait. Essentiellement par manque d’ambitions, le titre de Hangar 13 et 2K Games se contente de faire mieux que la concurrence sans véritablement réussir à la surclasser dans tous les domaines. Ce n’est pas une déception mais nous attendions mieux du retour de cette licence mythique tant adulée par le public. Peut-être trop…

While Harold Halibut doesn’t quite hit the heights it sets out to reach, you have to admire Slow Bros.’ unwavering commitment to its vision it spent 14 years bringing to life. Unfortunately, Harold Halibut’s stop-motion visuals do the majority of the heavy lifting, with the game’s repetitive and shallow gameplay reducing the overall experience to a tedious trudge through underwater space.

Stellar Blade stands toe-to-toe with some of the best games of the character action genre. This package offers a satisfying combat system with plenty of progression, beautiful visuals, and one of the best soundtracks in years. (Review Policy)

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.
