There is not much to say about Shredders, which is not a satisfying experience. The art direction is already aging when the game is released, the animations are not very good, the missions are only sequences of courses via teleportations and the cinematics of the scenario seem to be present only to extend the life of the title. Making a successful sports and simulation game is not an easy task and I have the impression that for the first project of the FoamPunch studio it was perhaps too ambitious. If you want to make up your mind, I strongly advise you to go through an Xbox Game Pass subscription rather than paying forty dollars.

Tokyo Scramble delivers a tense survival-stealth experience built around exploration, environmental interaction, and avoiding dangerous creatures lurking beneath Tokyo. The variety of enemies and the constant pressure during exploration create genuinely effective moments of suspense. However, a weak narrative, repetitive gameplay loop, and underwhelming presentation limit the game’s long-term appeal. Despite some interesting ideas and solid tension in short bursts, the experience struggles to stay engaging until the end.

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum unfortunately doesn't live up to the expectations placed in it and announced. It felt like a game that hadn't yet found its feet. The basics are in place, but you quickly get the feeling that you're doing the same thing over and over again, and moving forward without much interest. Yet the universe and the environment created around it allow you to immerse yourself in the world of J.R.R Tolkien. The technical problems, however, break this immersion, which fails to make up for the other problems. I wouldn't recommend Gollum in its current state, and I hope the developers manage to improve it. Otherwise, the title will be quickly forgotten by gamers.

There is not much to say about Prison Tycoon Under New Management. The title developed by the team at Abylight Studios offers a management experience similar to what is already on the market. While prisoner rehabilitation is an excellent feature, it doesn't seem to be taken to its fullest extent. I wish the developers would have fully embraced their ideas to the fullest. The construction of our prison is also limited while the art direction is already aging. The game unfortunately doesn't reach its goal of being better than the franchise it is based on.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers is a big dissapointment for me. It was difficult to go back and play it regularly for the purpose of the review. Nevertheless, I think some fans of the franchise will appreciate the new concept that it brings. Just don't expect something as exceptionnal as the last Kakarot game or FighterZ.

Various Daylife does not measure up to other Team Asano games. It's obviously a game made for Apple Arcade and it probably should have stayed there, especially since the cost is quite high. In my opinion, if you want good JRPGs, there are several better options especially on Switch. You will be better served by Live A Live, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 or Persona 5 Royal.

Project Motor Racing aims to deliver a realistic and accessible racing simulation, with solid driving physics and a focus on track authenticity. While the core handling model can feel satisfying for simulation fans, the overall experience lacks momentum due to limited content variety and presentation that feels somewhat dated. Career progression and game modes don’t offer enough depth to keep players engaged over the long term. Despite its good intentions and technical foundation, the game struggles to stand out in a highly competitive racing-sim genre.

After the Modern Warfare 3 beta, we had a number of unanswered questions. Would this year's Call of Duty measure up? In all transparency, the answer is half-hearted. Yes, the gameplay is solid. In fact, it's probably the best in a long time. But the technical problems, the campaign and the lack of originality can't save the game. The biggest fans may be satisfied, and then some. But for the rest of us, it's probably worth waiting for a major discount or next year's version. And it's high time Activision had a vision for its phase series for the next few years. The Microsoft acquisition will hopefully help.

All in all, Firewall Ultra is a game full of promise, but which fails to deliver. What's more, in addition to making almost no use of the PS VR2 headset's technologies, the developers haven't mastered them very well.What's more, the graphics are pretty and you can have a lot of fun if you play with friends. And once again, with PS VR2's low market penetration, matchmaking takes a long time. Without being bad, Firewall Ultra doesn't seize the opportunity to place itself above the fray in the offering of games of this style. I'd recommend waiting for a discount, or buying it if you're a group of VR gamers.

Dinosaur Fossil Hunter had a huge playground at its disposal, but the developers at Pyramid Games studio seem to have run out of steam. While the basic gameplay is not totally bad and could be improved via future updates, the functionality to skip some of the important steps of playing a paleontologist and completely counterintuitive for a simulation game. In addition, the technical problems, performance and art direction that offer only the minimum of visual effects prevent the title from standing out in the market. Despite being marketed at a low price, we find ourselves doing the same thing over and over again without any novelty after only a few hours of play. The experience is far from being up to par and what we could expect after a rather successful demo several months ago. Let's hope that the development team fixes the technical issues quickly to try not to end up like the dinosaurs.

Apex Legends on Switch is one of the least successfull port of Panic Button Games. The studio had to do a lot of sacrifices to bring this free battle royal to the platform. The many technical issues and the fact that you can't transfer your save from another console, makes it tough to justify jumping on this version.

Nickelodeon Extreme Tennis: Next! manages to provide a few hours of entertainment thanks to its accessible approach and its charming cast of characters from the brand’s famous franchises. The arcade-style tennis gameplay is generally well-executed, the special powers add a bit of personality to the matches, and the co-op mode is a welcome addition. However, the initial fun quickly fades due to extremely repetitive progression, limited content, and a clear lack of variety in the courts and activities on offer. The game constantly gives the impression that it could have offered so much more. I hope future updates will enhance the experience!

Kiln is a frustrating game to review, because it’s impossible not to see the full potential of its concept. Its premise is brilliant, its pottery-making mechanics are ingenious, and its art direction is flawless. The foundations of an excellent multiplayer game are clearly there, and when everything works as intended, the experience can be genuinely fun. However, in its current state, the game mostly feels like it was released far too early. Its glaring lack of content, rapid repetitiveness, uninspiring progression, balancing issues, and—above all—an already concerning player base significantly limit the enjoyment it can offer. Despite its more-than-attractive price, Kiln remains, above all, an excellent idea that still needs a lot more work.

The Last Case of John Morley offers a short and atmospheric detective story with strong sound design, moody environments and escape room style puzzles that recreate a twenty year old murder case. The investigation is very linear with a lot of guidance and the production has some rough edges such as inconsistent visuals, clunky menus and odd lock mechanics. Despite these issues, the narrative stays engaging and delivers a solid three hour mystery adventure for fans of simple and immersive investigations.

Drag x Drive is an original offering that showcases the potential of the Joy-Con 2 controllers and their mouse function, while providing intense gaming moments, especially online. However, its limited content, minimalist aesthetics, and certain technical constraints prevent it from fully convincing over time. While fun for a few sessions, it struggles to establish itself as a must-have for the Nintendo Switch 2, especially since there are already plenty of more interesting choices available on the console.

Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator offers a rather complete experience for those wishing to discover a little more about the profession. Accidents are varied, while the fictional city offers realistic environments. However, routine quickly sets in, despite the integration of large-scale events. The experience system requires you to complete a series of missions with no real objective behind them in order to access all the content. Not to mention the fact that, for the time being, technical problems prevent us from enjoying a fluid experience. It's hard to recommend the game in its current state. Nonetheless, I hope the developers come up with fixes and new content soon. Something they have already demonstrated on their previous production.

On paper, Funko Fusion had the potential to become a strong and perhaps more mature competitor to the LEGO franchise. However, the lack of diversity, the repetitive objectives, the numerous technical problems and the absence of a local co-op mode all detract from 1010 Games' idea. While the universes offered are original to say the least, they are not sufficiently linked to offer a coherent universe. In its current state, it's very difficult to recommend the game!

The Casting of Frank Stone is based on a franchise with a very large community. Many gamers were looking forward to seeing the Dead by Daylight universe adapted by the Supermassive Games team. While the scenario holds up and pays homage to the license, the overall quality of the game does not. The gameplay is far too cumbersome, and there isn't enough interaction. The quality dubbing is marred by overly rigid animation and face modeling. Not to mention the technical bugs encountered during the course of this review. In its current state, it's hard to recommend the game to anyone. Let's hope, however, that this isn't the last time Behaviour Interactive will be commissioned to adapt its license.

Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator is a realistic simulation of the life of a cab driver. You can explore a marvellous model of the city of Barcelona. Unfortunately, the experience is not without its problems. Handling requires a number of adjustments in order to be enjoyable, while the artificial intelligence creates a real sense of frustration. Missions also remain, for the moment, rather repetitive and offer very little variety. Perhaps I'd advise you to wait for future updates before embarking on your new career.

Clearly, Skull and Bones has suffered from years of development and numerous changes of direction. The handling of the ships is well done, but everything around them is much less so. The in-game phases are very repetitive, and boarding and pillaging are nothing more than identical cinematics. The very principle of the experience is to go back and forth until you reach the end of the main campaign. Not to mention that the technology is not worthy of a game marketed in 2024 at this price.
