En s'affranchissant de vulgaire points d'intérêts, l'exploration de Pandora est un véritable vent de fraicheur. Et si on regrette l'omniprésence d'un level gating incohérent, nous avons beaucoup aimé notre aventure dans cet univers époustouflant d'Avatar !

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora features a stunning alien world to explore, but doesn’t contain as many genuine surprises as other modern open-worlds.

A Ubisoft entregou aquilo que prometeu. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora é mais uma belíssima peça canónica para o grandioso universo de Avatar. Com um novo enredo, e novas personagens num novo continente, o jogo de mundo aberto oferece uma experiência única a nível de exploração e combate, proporcionando ao jogador a aventura emocionante de se tornar um verdadeiro Na’vi.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is een game met tergende prestatieproblemen, bugs en vooral gemiste kansen. Van tenenkrommende framedrops tot de meest vervelende audiobugs die ik in tijden heb meegemaakt. Ubisoft heeft duidelijk iets gemist als het op de optimalisatie van de game aankomt. Onder al die problemen zit op zich best wel een prima game die vooral veel lijkt op de Far Cry-serie, maar die de serie enigszins evolueert. Misschien dat Frontiers of Pandora over een jaar of twee een stuk leuker is, als alle prestatieproblemen grotendeels zijn opgelost en de prijs een beetje is gedaald, maar met de problemen die ik tot nu toe heb ervaren, is dit jammer genoeg geen aanrader.

Time and time again, Arizona Sunshine 2 expertly ramps up the pressure of oncoming hordes of zombies and then rewards you with spectacular gore when your bullets and hatchets connect with rotten faces. Its VR shooting and relatively complex reloading mean you always have to be on your toes and thinking about how many bullets are left in your guns as you blast your way through a lengthy, occasionally poignant story about a man and his new four-legged best buddy. The variety of enemy types is pretty limited for a 15-plus-hour game, but there’s enough light puzzle-solving and climbing mixed in to keep it moving along, and the physics glitches provide as much humor as the one-liners and co-op antics.

A boring, ugly mess of a game to be avoided at all costs, The Walking Dead: Destinies fails to do anything interesting with the story and characters of the popular TV show it’s based on. While the ghost of a promising concept haunts the periphery – that of making choices different from what happened i the early seasons of the show and watching them play out – its horrendous graphics, weightless combat, repetitive mission design, and as many bugs as zombies reduce Destinies to the gaming equivalent of a biological hazard.

SteamWorld Build is a simple but fun city builder cleverly combined with a dungeon-constructing miner that keeps things quick and casual.

Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections permet vivre des affrontements ninja forts, dynamiques et à la mise en scène endiablée. Toujours efficace, on déplore tout de même l’absence de réelles nouveautés côté gameplay et un solo original qui manque parfois d’entrain.

Wedged somewhere between Wi-Fi and The Wiggles as one of Australia’s greatest exports, Bluey has been a staggeringly successful animated series. Tens of billions of minutes of the show have been streamed into households in more than 60 countries, and the Heelers have subsequently been transformed into over 1,000 bits of merchandising tat. In an unfortunate turn of events, Bluey: The Videogame feels a lot like another forgettable piece of the latter, hovering somewhere between the countless toys and the tubes of licensed toothpaste. Low on innovation and high on what feels like contractual obligation, Bluey: The Videogame is really a low-effort mobile game masquerading as a mid-price console and PC product. It may absolutely look the part compared to the show itself, but with its assortment of shallow minigames rife with annoying bugs, frustrating controls, and a bafflingly brief runtime of a little over an hour, everywhere else it’s a dog’s breakfast.

Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections may have the flashiest graphics in the series, but there’s almost nothing else here to make me seek it out over past entries with basically the same fighting system and better single-player stories.
