DNF Duel had the potential to be a great fighting game for beginners, but is far too shallow and unbalanced to be competitive in. Even so, it’s good for a more casual and laid back experience with some great visuals.

Warm, inviting and pleasant, Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus And Butterfly is a wonderfully accessible and gentle graphic novel game with a beautifully well-meaning heart. Changes from its predecessor are minimal, but Hibiscus And Butterfly encourages you to discover an array of comforting drinks, while the cast of fantastical and not-so fantastical characters tell you about their life predicaments, their perils and their successes. Much like a good pick-me-up, Coffee Talk Episode 2 is as easy as you’d like but has space for you to master the fine art of being a top-tier barista in a busy bustling café. The addition of Hibiscus And Butterfly Pea brings a classiness and a radiance that will lighten your day, and there are reasons to replay the story several times through to see everything it has to show for itself. There’s still plenty of room for Coffee Talk to grow and flourish, but this sequel is well-worth diving into if you just want to take a pew, grab an eye-opener and relish in a bevvy of stories.

While I love Episode 2 to a similar level that I did the original, I am somewhat left just a little disappointed by its decision to not reinvent the wheel much at all. The experience is still a great one, don’t get me wrong, but the additional drink choices and the ability to give items to customers to get further story content just isn’t a enough evolution in the experience, especially seeing as the location and collection of regular patrons are basically the same bar for a few new characters. The vibes and aesthetic however are still as pleasing as they were before, and those keen for an indie game to relax and pair with a hot beverage, Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly serves as a welcome choice.

Très léger sur le plan narratif, Tin Hearts est entièrement tourné vers la réflexion. Il s'inspire du culte Lemmings pour nous plonger dans une maison d'un autre temps, à l'époque des jouets en bois.

Stray Blade trova la sua dimensione ideale tra i soulslike per novizi. La curva di apprendimento delle soddisfacenti meccaniche di parry e schivata perfette non è molto ripida e in un modo o nell’altro, scappando se necessario, si arriva ai titoli di coda in una quindicina di ore o poco più. La lore dell’articolato mondo di Acrea è affascinante, la direzione artistica che la racconta panorama dopo panorama anche di più. Peccato che le animazioni di lotta non siano la base di un gameplay altrettanto fisico e coinvolgente, che dopo poche ore inizia a ripetersi in un loop molto poco attraente. Se siete in cerca di un’avventura action colorata e cartoonesca, che dei soulslike ha solo l’impostazione di base, però, non rimarrete delusi. Ma non aspettatevi altro.

Stray Blade è la storia di Farren, che da antropologo si dirige nelle terre perdute di Acrea e rimane intrappolato in quel continente dimenticato. Con l'aiuto di Boji un mezzo lupetto dall'aspetto coccoloso, dovrà sconfiggere i nemici che si trovano su Acrea e trovare il creatore di Boji, che pare possa liberare i due dalla maledizione del luogo. Sebbene visivamente il gioco sia ottimo, mostra il fianco nel sistema di combattimento che, con qualche accortezza in più, sarebbe potuto risultare più soddisfacente e ottimale.

It is difficult to think of an audience that I would recommend Tape: Unveil the Memories to. The story treads no new ground and never quite materializes into a coherent narrative. The stealth action is not difficult enough for those looking for action, and the narrative-only option doesn’t provide enough suspense without it to overcome the mediocre story. And while there are several good puzzles, they are late in arriving and scattered among many repetitive ones. Add that to the occasional bug and poor localization, and there’s no real reason to play this when there are more polished games on the market.

Dans la lignée de Forbidden West, Burning Shores est une extension qui profite de toute la puissance de la PS5. Fidèle à la formule d'origine, ce DLC se pare de quelques nouveautés intéressantes (ennemis, personnages, armes), mais n'apporte que peu d'éléments scénaristiques inédits. La jouabilité, en revanche, demeure toujours aussi dynamique et le jeu, dans son ensemble, est une démonstration de force visuelle et technique. Le Los Angeles postapocalyptique offre des panoramas à couper de souffle et quelques moments épiques. Un bon petit DLC accessible en attendant le troisième épisode !

Una colección interesante, pensada tanto para fans como para nuevos jugadores, que actualiza de manera sutil los primeros seis Final Fantasy tanto en lo audiovisual como en lo jugable. Si bien es cierto que no todos los juegos son igual de buenos, es una gran forma de rescatar estos clásicos en consolas actuales, aunque el precio es algo elevado.

Dead Island 2 ne révolutionne ni la saga, ni le jeu de survie, mais assure l’essentiel. Dambuster Studios offre aux fans de survivalisme en milieu zombies un périple sanglant et ensoleillé au cœur d’une Cité des Anges repeinte en rouge. Mutiler du décharnés n’a jamais été aussi brutal et le plaisir ressenti aussi viscéral. Ce FPS n’est pas parfait, loin s’en faut, et souffre d’une certaine répétitivité qu’il tente de gommer avec une générosité indéniable. La franchise Dead Island est bel et bien de retour, un retour fracassant par la grande porte !

Tire au flanc cette compilation remastérisée ? Pas le moins du monde, puisqu'on sent toute la volonté de WayForward de moderniser les jeux cultes d'il y a 20 ans. Mais même la meilleure volonté du monde ne suffit pas toujours. L'accélération de la vitesse du jeu en *2 ainsi que la possibilité de rejouer le tour n'arrive pas à se mettre au niveau du dynamisme des productions actuelles. Les remasters souffrent alors d'un léger manque de punch, un peu comme un tank en panne d'essence, pour se hisser à la hauteur des opus originaux. Malgré cela, Advance Wars et Advance Wars 2 : Black Hole Rising restent de très bon jeux de stratégie complets et accessibles. Si ceux qui y ont déjà joué peuvent être déçus par le manque de nouveautés à apprécier, les curieux qui ne les ont pas touchés peuvent découvrir dans de très bonnes conditions dès ce 21 avril sur Nintendo Switch.

Più vasto che denso, Burning Shores è il DLC di Horizon Forbidden West che era lecito aspettarsi. Utilizzando Los Angeles come palcoscenico, Guerrilla segue le regole della spettacolarizzazione hollywoodiana e spinge sul pedale dell’esaltazione visiva. C’è un momento (totalmente opzionale) in cui vi perderete in una nube in tempesta, preludio di un’altra battaglia, e dove respirerete un’aria di profonda epicità. Ed è grazie a questi frangenti di considerevole impegno scenico e ludico che si comprendono le intenzioni del team: spingere ancora più in alto le vette del Decima Engine e confezionare un’espansione che fosse appagante al punto giusto, prima del terzo atto dell’epopea di Aloy. Quello in cui si deciderà, forse una volta per tutte, il destino del mondo.

Horizon Forbidden West’s Burning Shores DLC is a worthwhile addition to this acclaimed action-heavy sci-fi series. Fun new challenges and enemies are introduced and cool new ways to dispatch them are presented with regularity. The story is more concerned with developing character than it is working towards dealing with the imminent world-ending threat, and it’s Aloy at her most personal and believable yet. A couple of poor boss battles aside, it’s a great new chapter with enough creative new bells and whistles to keep fans more than happy.

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp supone la vuelta de una de esas sagas que Nintendo tenía olvidadas, pese al cariño que suscita en sus aficionados. Puede que el retorno no sea perfecto, pero si está lo suficientemente trabajado para convertir este reboot en un título notable que todo aficionado al género disfrutará y que, además, funciona como una excelente puerta de entrada.

The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection is a great bundle to introduce new JRPG players to the Final Fantasy series, and provides old fans a nice nostalgic trip. While some issues could be ironed out, the collection provides an enjoyable experience regardless.
