Certain games are so exceptional that when I try to explain to people why I loved playing it so much and why they should as well, my words fail me, and I end up gushing for minutes on end without really saying anything of substance. While I hope my written work conveys my thoughts more clearly, Cocoon is one such game, so I apologise if you strike up a conversation about it with me. A near-perfect example of level and game design that makes the player feel consistently clever without ever holding their hand, Cocoon is a landmark achievement in the genre that deserves a spot right beside the very best.

Si on aurait apprécié une aventure un peu plus longue (5h seulement sont nécessaires pour compléter l’aventure), c’est d’abord parce que tout ce que propose Cocoon est particulièrement maitrisé et déborde de bonnes idées. L’apprentissage des mécanismes, la narration par les décors et les situations, l’utilisation des différents orbes : tout se fait naturellement et parvient à suivre une évolution bien précise, tout en offrant quelques libertés au joueur. Une aventure marquante et prenante !

Whether you’re a Type-Moon follower with Saber wallpaper on your phone or just someone who appreciate virtual tourism, Fate/Samurai Remnant’s journey to Keian-Era Japan will delight. There’s a storyline that doesn’t assume familiarity with previous works that erupts in regular doses of intense, action-driven combat. But of all, the writing is a cut above any previous works set in the Fate multiverse.

Fate/Samurai Remnant è una sorpresa molto gradita nel panorama degli action RPG. Nonostante un sistema basato nelle sue meccaniche base e nel level design su quello dei musou, il gioco riesce a essere molto vario e articolato in ogni aspetto, soprattutto nel suo combat system. Le tecniche utilizzabili sono davvero tante e inoltre sarà possibile variare personaggi molto spesso, così da non annoiarsi mai. Ci saranno poi tante altre meccaniche interessanti, come le battaglie per le fonti di energia, i mini-giochi e molto altro. A rendere apprezzabilissimo questo gioco è però soprattutto la storia, davvero ben narrata in quasi ogni suo punto e con un cast di personaggi ben caratterizzati. Insomma, se l'intento era quello di realizzare un videogioco che fosse imperdibile per i fan di Fate, lo scopo è stato raggiunto.

Cocoon is a breathtaking puzzle-platformer that borders on psychedelic. Building on what made Inside designer Jeppe Carlsen's previous work stand out, Cocoon not only presents a mind-bending journey through the cosmos via fascinating worlds-within-worlds puzzle mechanics that beg you to delve another layer deeper, but an interesting take on the repetition of work, life, and being part of a "bigger picture." With a relatively short playtime and some well-hidden collectibles that make it worth replaying, Cocoon is a must-play for fans of Limbo or Inside, or anyone looking for a new puzzle adventure to play and then sit down and think about for a while.

Geometric Interactive’s debut in Cocoon, though lacking in the kind of imagination and surreal creativity its premise might entail, still winds up a pleasant and solid-enough first attempt. A detail you can so much read as a plus as you can a negative, the relatively short run-time though requires less of a time-sink does on the flip-side inevitably reveal the most blatant of faults. Namely its seemingly conserved and all-too-aware nature as a game merely testing the waters, rather than going all-in to deliver truly strange outcomes. To some, that lacking inventiveness and willing subverting of its very nature will disappoint. For others, the simple pleasure in how the game delivers such a progression again and again — not to mention the ease with which it manages to handle so much with so minimal a control scheme — will prove sufficient-enough praise. While it may not fully capitalize on the draw of its main premise, satisfying puzzle design, boss encounters and that simplest pleasure of seeing your character hop into and out of worlds on a whim lends Cocoon well-warranted and ultimately long-lasting charm.

Cocoon propone un gameplay solido, che si sviluppa lungo una curva di apprendimento ben congegnata e stimolante. Un impianto in grado di conquistare rapidamente l'attenzione del giocatore, che finisce per restare senza sforzo invischiato in questo insolito intreccio di mondi. A un game design lodevole fa tuttavia da contraltare un comparto narrativo che non riesce a trascinare con altrettanta forza il pubblico. Le motivazioni del protagonista e l'epilogo della sua avventura faticano a lasciare il segno al termine del viaggio proposto da Cocoon. Una dicotomia che troverà estimatori negli amanti dei racconti volutamente criptici, ma che potrebbe generare un lieve disappunto nei giocatori in cerca di emozioni intense. Alla base, ci teniamo a ribadirlo, resta in ogni caso un'esperienza ludica di assoluto pregio.

If you were hoping for a dramatic reinvention of EA’s soccer sim to go along with ditching the FIFA name, EA Sports FC 24 is not that. If you’ve played FIFA, you know exactly what kind of incremental improvements and longstanding problems with AI to expect this year. New mechanics like Evolutions show that EA has a general grasp of how to improve its RPG elements, even if it’s only currently for Ultimate Team where you have to put up with all of the dreaded microtransactions. Elsewhere, Volta mode is still a lot of fun with a full team of friends thanks in part to its unique arenas, while the Career Modes once again suffer from the same lack of care they’ve been missing for years, with the added annoyance of some ill-conceived RNG-based objectives this time. All told, it might have a new name, but EA Sports FC 24 is just about the same, frustrating but beautiful game.

After years of lazy, half-hearted Legacy Editions, EA Sports has finally delivered a football game on the Switch that offers full feature parity with other consoles. A much-needed engine upgrade trades frame rate for fidelity, but Switch owners finally have a port they can be proud of, rather than feeling like an afterthought.

What EA has done with its relaunched soccer title is define the series going forward. EA SPORTS FC 24 shows off what sports games are capable of on the field by creating unique circumstances boiled down to an individualistic experience while adding even more stadium and broadcast atmosphere for a series that needed a change. The tech has always been there for this series, and this year what has been added has all been put together to create one of the best sports games in recent times. The gameplay is satisfying and it doesn’t get redundant. There are a good bit of modes to dive into, but besides more in-depth improvements to each mode, no major modes have been added. The current state of playing online is frustrating, and hopefully this can get resolved. From a gameplay perspective, the only improvement needs to come from controller vibration feedback being made on contact. I feel like the DualSense is being underutilized here and while I understand it’s not American football, some of these collisions deserve more than just a vague and light rumble.

Pour faire simple, la plus grosse nouveauté de ce EA Sports FC 24, c’est son nom. Comme depuis de nombreuses années, nous sommes encore une fois en possession d’une grosse mise à jour du titre précédent, avec un gameplay plus lent, plus réaliste et plus efficace, ainsi que de légères nouveautés qui sont les bienvenues, mais qui restent assez légères pour être vendues au prix fort. On espère seulement que cette fois, les mises à jour ne viendront pas ruiner l’expérience au fil des mois.

Bref à l’heure du bilan, force est de constater que EA Sports FC 24 dispose de son lot d’ajouts. Majeurs ? Non, pas vraiment. Utiles ? Oui, car ils sont surtout là pour renforcer des acquis, qui critiqués ou non, font de cette licence l’un des produits culturels et vidéoludiques les plus achetés tous les ans. C’est un peu le sentiment général après plusieurs matchs d’EA Sports FC 24. Celui de déjà connaître le jeu et de le découvrir un peu à la fois, avec les mêmes scories (ah, les contres favorables, un régal, et la défense, compliquée à prendre en main, surtout pour un novice), la même obligation de payer pour packer vite et bien (ah les micro-transactions, un régal là aussi), mais aussi le même intérêt pour une durée de vie non négligeable. Pour une vraie révolution, il faudra attendre le changement de moteur et certainement l’arrivée de nouveaux modes. Mais comme un plat du pied sécurité, FC 24 assure son arrivée et sa transition avec efficacité.

Avec FC 24, EA Sports passe à côté de l’occasion de se renouveler. En même temps, qui pourrait lui donner tort ? FIFA fait chaque année partie des plus grands succès vidéoludiques, toutes catégories confondues, alors qu’il ne change que rarement des choses. Pourquoi s’embêter à s’améliorer quand un nouveau nom, un nouveau logo et une nouvelle interface peuvent suffire à revendre le même jeu, avec évidemment de nouvelles équipes pour attirer les fans de football ? FC 24 est la parfaite continuation d’une formule qui a toujours marché, puisqu’il est tout aussi addictif que ses prédécesseurs, malgré tout le mal que l’on peut penser du business d’EA Sports. Dans les prochains mois, il sera intéressant de suivre la suite de la guerre entre FIFA et EA. L’instance de football va-t-elle vraiment financer son propre jeu FIFA 24 ? Peut-elle réussir à causer du tort à FC 24 ? En attendant, EA Sports propose une nouvelle fois le meilleur jeu de football.

Avec des modes de jeux très complets, un éventail de licences impressionnant (même s’il manque toujours le Brésil, mais bon il y a le nouveau Brésil, à savoir le Maroc, donc ça va) et un gameplay qui va enfin vers l’avant, l’immersion est au rendez vous dans ce EA FC 24 qui se révèle être l’une des meilleurs simulations de football depuis des années. Cela dit, il reste de la place pour aller bien plus loin. A l'année prochaine donc, en espérant ne pas être déçu.
