Skatebird is a cute and original arcade skating game supported by great music, but the skating itself is crude by modern standards, the objectives are generally uninspired, and the camera is a regular hassle. It has a lot of charm, but overall it’s not really worth raven about.

NBA 2K22 sigue sentando cátedra en lo jugable, con unos cambios que este año garantizan un ritmo de juego mucho más realista y satisfactorio. Pero la misma historia de siempre: es uno de los juegos más agresivos de la industria en lo que respecta a los micropagos, y sus modalidades estrella no se pueden disfrutar si no estás dispuesto a pagar.

Un gameplay riche et varié comme sait le faire Arkane, mais le studio, ou Bethesda, craint trop de lâcher la bride au joueur et gâche le plaisir de la découverte. De plus, les invasions sont à revoir pour être moins... envahissantes.

The Aragami control Shadow Essence -- a mystical power which grants the ability to control the shadows. With this power the Aragami carry out their tasks and quests -- assignments made all along the valley to ensure the subsistence of the village and to free the Aragami enslaved by the invader armies. Become the master of a skill based combat with high risk and high reward. You can manage covers and powers with agility, and take down your enemies with stealth kills and non-lethal takedowns. Craft your weapons and armors and upgrade your elite warrior with three skill trees of 42 abilities and shadow powers. Save your people and defeat the curse before it ends with you and discover how the Aragami became a legend.

I Am Fish is wacky, hilarious, and sometimes agonizing, but still well worth the time for those with a stomach for it. Its intentionally maddening controls and platforming are gimmicks that sometimes overstay their welcome, especially when bad checkpointing and cheap deaths undo all your progress, but most of the time it does a good job at balancing difficulty and rewarding persistence. Even after hundreds of humbling deaths, its lasting charm stuck with the whole way through.

This sprawling action adventure has way more meat on its bones than you may first expect if you’re only looking for a quick dive into a Tim Burton-esque wonderland. Lost in Random is loaded with tons of side quests, interesting lore, and a decent semi-real-time, semi-turn-based combat system that ends up getting bogged down by dumb enemy AI. Beyond that, the five worlds that follow the relatively drab intro section each offer their own unique quirks, struggles, and characters that won’t be forgotten any time soon.

NBA 2K22 makes some welcome changes to its on-court action. The new stamina system is a game-changer, leading to the series’ best offensive flow in years. Defensively, the tweaks to blocks and shot contests make the paint a dangerous place to be. However, the technical issues, questionable choices, and overuse of microtransactions in several of the modes keep it from being a real contender. There’s a high-quality basketball sim here, but it makes more unforced errors than you’d expect for a series that’s been iterating for so long.

With a strong cast of characters used to varying effect throughout to tell a tale that puts just about enough of a spin on the stories it's paying homage to, Call of Duty: Vanguard’s single-player campaign is an impressively cinematic depiction of World War II. That said, aside from a few standout moments sprinkled over its fleeting five hours, for the most part it plays it a little too safe in regards to mission variety to feel like a standout in the series. It may look and sound spectacular, but it could’ve used more stylish sections like Petrova’s to distinguish its gameplay from the many battles we’ve fought before.

Wario Ware: Get it Together est parfois victime de son propre concept, et subit quelques impasses de gameplay. Cependant, son soin et sa générosité en font enfin un vrai nouveau titre de cette joyeuse chronologie.

TOEM is a short, satisfying little photography adventure packed with witty writing, goofy yet grounded characters, and a wealth of interesting, picturesque moments to capture. Though simple to complete, its diorama-like maps, cartoon style, and pleasing music and sounds make it an inviting world to stay in long enough to uncover all its secrets. Unpretentious and clever, TOEM encourages its audience to elevate the most seemingly mundane encounters through the scrupulosity of a camera lens, splashing its world with enough myth, humor, and joy to turn every moment into a photographable phenomenon as intriguing as the one in its title.
