As you know, nostalgia is in full swing in the video game medium, so the release of Rally Arcade Classics on PC last year came as no surprise. The game finally hit consoles last June at a fairly reasonable price (€/$19.99 on PS5 and Xbox—note that the Switch version is available for €/$9.99) considering its content. Although the game only offers four destinations (Finland, Monte Carlo, Catalunya, and Greece), it still includes 44 cars largely inspired by historic models from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s, as well as 48 tracks (the stages are fairly short though). Several game modes are available (Tour, Rally, License, Arcade, Time Trial, and Events), the driving is arcadey but pretty fun, with vehicles that become increasingly difficult to control as you move up the classes, and the game has been recently updated with the recent addition of a manual gearbox and the ability to create a list of 25 players with whom you can compare your times. Check out a small selection of tracks and cars in the video below.

Hotel Barcelona hasn't really received a very warm welcome, either from the press or from gamers. It must be said that, while the world created by Suda51 and Swery61 is as original as fans could have hoped for, the decision to make the game a rogue-like wasn't necessarily the wisest given the fierce competition in the genre. As is often the case with the games developed by these two iconic Japanese artists, the end result is rather clumsy in terms of gameplay, giving the impression of a title that lacks polish. We weren't convinced by the visuals during gameplay either and combat doesn't feel as responsive as it should. We'll let you take a look at the beginning of this bizarre adventure in the following video, and we look forward to hearing your feedback if you've already decided to give the game a try.

Bye Sweet Carole is coming out tomorrow on basically all possible systems and though it's not perfect by any means, it's a beautiful adventure game that deserves a bit of attention on your part.

Without Miguel to regularly remind us of the joys of simulation games, Gamersyde's coverage of this genre, which is very popular with German studios, has become quite rare. With a slight delay, we finally give you Firefighting Simulator: Ignite, which puts us in the fireproof suit of a firefighter.

Borderlands 4 has been available since September 12 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (and will also be available on Nintendo Switch 2 later), and we've prepared a gameplay video showing the beginning of the game on PC.

Now that the gameplay video embargo has lifted for Ghost of Yōtei, we can share the very beginning of the adventure with the Japanese voices. We recorded the game on a PlayStation 5 Pro and only used the Pro RT mode, which has great image quality and RTGI (though it's more limited than in Assassin's Creed Shadows). If you want to see more gameplay, check out our French video review and mute the sound to avoid the French commentary.

With Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Nintendo will allow those feeling nostalgic to dive back into the past, while also giving those who haven't played the original games a chance to discover these two classics. Here's our two videos of the Nintendo Switch 2 versions.

We covered it several months ago, Alien: Rogue Incursion was a pretty effective VR game in the FPS genre, but the developers at Survios decided to make their game accessible to all the players who don't own a virtual reality headset, which obviously includes those who play on Xbox consoles. The result is an action-oriented FPS that lacks a little punch in terms of feedback and gunplay, but nevertheless manages to capture the Alien universe well, with the added bonus of increased detail, higher definition, and improved effects over the VR version. The adventure is fairly short, in line with other action-oriented FPS games, lasting around eight hours, but we don't think it would have benefited from being longer, and for €/$24.99, it's a pretty honest package in terms of pricing. The version we played still had a few minor bugs and some awkward random appearances of the xenomorphs (we even saw one pop up right in front of us), but nothing too dramatic. We'll let you discover the first twenty minutes of this Evolved Edition of the game running on PS5 Pro to give you a chance to form your own opinion.

It's been almost a month since we last did a super detailed review, and this time we're putting pen to paper to tell you about Ghost of Yōtei. As proof of the great confidence placed in Sucker Punch studio (known for the Sly Raccoon and inFamous series, but also, of course, for the excellent Ghost of Tsushima), Sony sent us our version of the game almost three weeks ago. Needless to say, we've had plenty of time to complete the adventure and even take care of most of the side content. Ghost of Yōtei is the team's first real game on PS5 because, apart from the DLC added to Tsushima for the release of its Director's Cut version, the developers hadn't yet been able to show what they were capable of on this generation of consoles. It's hard to believe that the PS5 has already been available for five years, and apart from Insomniac Games, there haven't been any major PlayStation Studios new games developed exclusively for Sony's latest console. This lack of in-house exclusives is one of the reasons why some gamers have been relatively disappointed with this generation, and in a way, we can understand why, even though there have still been plenty of good games. As a result, the release of the long-awaited sequel to Ghost of Tsushima is quite an event, especially for those who enjoyed Jin Sakai's original adventure.
