Ghost of Tsushima is an enormous and densely packed samurai adventure that often left me completely awestruck with both its visual spectacle and excellent combat. By steadily introducing new abilities instead of stat upgrades, its swordplay manages to stay challenging, rewarding, and fun throughout the entire 40 to 50 hours that it took me to beat the campaign. A few aspects are surprisingly lacking in polish in comparison to other first-party Sony games, especially when it comes to enemy AI and the stealth part of its stealth/action split. Still this is an extraordinary open-world action-adventure game that solves several issues that have long gone unaddressed in the genre, while also just being an all around samurai slashin’ good time.

Recompile is a competent metroidvania with a strong story and great writing let down by overly bland gameplay. Its platforming and puzzles are too simplistic, and its infrequent combat can frustrate, but hunting for bits of lore between those sections still managed to stay interesting. It's a short-lived and sometimes forgettable metroidvania, but with a story that still makes it a few hours well spent.

12 Minutes é uma muito bem-vinda e deliciosa experiência, inspirada nos clássicos de mistério criados por alguns dos maiores mestres. Tem a capacidade de nos fazer sentir todo o espectro de emoções e de nos fazer pensar como lidamos com a verdade, enquanto navega com igual mestria por diversos géneros. As imperfeições presentes são sinal de uma produção limitada, mas insignificantes e incapazes de se intrometerem nesta jornada acolhedoramente claustrofóbica.

Grande parte do que está em Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut não é novo, mas estamos perante uma verdadeira enxurrada de conteúdos, do melhor que a PlayStation ofereceu nos últimos anos, com melhorias e adições suficientes para merecer a atenção de todos os que o elogiaram no passado. A história de Jin em Iki está bem enquadrada e não é narrativamente superficial, as consequências vão-se fazer notar quando o reencontrarmos, o que me recorda que a expansão é também uma boa amostra do que poderá ser uma sequela liberta das amarras da Gen 8, com a mesma intensidade estética, mas um novo poder para explorar.

Des bonnes idées et un univers esthétiquement sympathique, mais Blightbound se montre trop répétitif, trop rapidement - sans oublier les bugs-. A réserver aux fans de loot et de farming qui feront l'effort de s'installer dans la routine du jeu.

C'est un réel bonheur de pouvoir enfin mettre la main sur les aventures de Ryunosuke Naruhodo, et le charme propre à la série est au rendez-vous. Attention cependant, la maîtrise parfaite de l'anglais obligatoire.

It’s difficult to convey my enthusiasm for Twelve Minutes’ time-loop mystery without discussing what happens at the end, but like Inside, I’d be doing you a grave disservice by giving anything away. What I can say is that the payoff is worth it, and the clever way in which writer-director Luis Antonio flips the traditional point-and-click adventure on its head makes for a compelling bit of unconventional storytelling that could only have worked as a game. Throw in great performances from three respected actors and the result is a memorable crime worth solving.

Une suite qui a su capitaliser sur ses forces et cacher au mieux ses faiblesses. En résulte alors une merveille de Metroidvania qui pousse constamment à l’exploration. Du grand art !

S'attaquer à Civilization était audacieux, mais Amplitude reste un peu trop prudent, un peu trop sur ses acquis pour vraiment surprendre avec Humankind, mais on espère tout de même que ce n'est que le premier du nom car ce premier jet reste très bon et agréable à jouer, et ne demande qu'à se peaufiner et s'étoffer.

I loved the flexibility of being able to specialize in something different with each new culture I adopted. But especially against the passive and tactically inept AI, I kept feeling like I'd rather be playing Civ 4, or Civ 5, or Civ 6. To be fair, if this were a Civilization game, that would almost be expected – they've each come out in a state that was a bit underwhelming compared to where their predecessors ended up after multiple expansions. And maybe with time and DLC, Humankind will stand alongside the best of them as well. For now, it's an intriguing, though not always excelling, offshoot of a time-tested formula that succeeds at making me want to keep clicking one more turn.
