In exactement a month, TopSpin 2K25 will have the responsibility to bring back tennis for a wider audience than the previous titles which came out in the past few years. Since a new video was released earlier today, here it is now on Gamersyde in its YouTube version.

Vanillaware is back with Unicorn Overlord, a tactical RPG that boasts the developer's distinctive art direction, but also excellent gameplay. Even though Vanillaware has rarely missed the mark so far, we can only applaud its decision to offer a completely different style of game compared to Odin Sphere, Dragon's Crown or 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, here's a video of the Xbox Series X version.

Originally released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015, The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered is an RPG available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC. Here is our gameplay video captured on PlayStation 5.

Rise of the Ronin also features a ray tracing mode, which is a bit surprising considering the framerate issues that plague the two other graphics modes. It might be due to the lower internal resolution, but the game seems a bit smoother in the countryside when using RT. It does not seem that different visually, but it feels steadier. Sadly, in cities or villages, which are more populated areas, slowdowns and stutter are back in the game. Let's hope team Ninja will find a way to fix this as the game can be very enjoyable provided you don't mind the old fashioned approach to its open world.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 doesn't run perfectly on all platforms as even PC players seem to be struggling with the game, especially in cities where cpu load is way too heavy. We thought NVIDIA's streaming service could be the way to go for those who can't afford a recent machine, but in our experience it hasn't really been satisfactory. Of course, it might be due to our Internet connection, which is maybe not stable enough to provide a smooth experience, but it's hard to be sure NVIDIA or Capcom are not too blamed. Since Enshrouded runs like a charm with GeForce NOW, we think our connection is fine, but well... What is odd is that, with an RTX 4080, gameplay should be perfectly smooth in the countryside according to what many people say, but it hasn't been for us for some reason. Moreover, DLSS does not seem to work well with grass and small vegetation in general, giving the game a softer look than it should. Now again, when streaming a game, image quality can also be affected by the connection speed, so it should also be taken into account, but our previous testing of the service was really good in that regard so we're a bit surprised. Anyway, we wanted to share a couple of gameplay videos with you so here they are. Don't worry if you want to see the game run natively on a high-end PC, davton will soon put up his own footage, just be a bit patient.

Back in the Xbox 360 and PS3 days, we were given quite a good number of AA arcadey games. Not all of them were good of course, but it was great to be able to try all sorts of titles. Today, as the indie scene is stronger than ever, they still exist, but racing games like TRAIL OUT are still quite rare. Some might think of Wreckfest but it had a more realistic physics engine and it could be quite challenging to control as a result. TRAIL OUT originally came out in 2022 on PC but it seems a console version will soon be released. That's why we decided to take the game for a test drive. As it features DLSS and ray tracing (shadows, reflections and RTGI) we figured it'd be a good opportunity to make a GeForce NOW Ultimate video as it's been a while since the last one.

Now that the embargo on video content has been lifted, we can finally share some raw gameplay footage of Dragon’s Dogma 2. The reviews seem to have been pretty positive from what we've seen, but quite honestly we're not quite sure we should be happy about. Indeed, in our humble opinion, this reboot of the twelve-year-old original game doesn't really improve what needed to be apart from the visuals and some design choices don't really appeal to us. It's obviously rather subjective of course, but we wish enemies wouldn't pop up every two seconds to give us a chance to enjoy exploration. Technically, the decision not at least propose an option to lock the framerate at 30 fps is something we don't understand and we really hope a patch will allow it in the future. Resolution wise, we'd be surprised if the console versions run much higher than 1080p, which would explain the soft look. Anyway, there's still fun to be had obviously, but the game doesn't always make it very easy and it's a bit of a shame.

A first trailer of Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra came out yesterday and it's hard not to be intrigued by Any Henning's new project with Skydance New Media. The game will run on Engine ENgine 5 and is planned for a 2025 release. It's very unlikely the final game will look as good as this, but we can only hope it will make up for the previous AAA game starring the first Avenger.

GSY Review PS5

Rise of the Ronin is not a looker, far from that. Worse it runs quite poorly in every mode we tested (there are three of them, Fidelity, Performance and Ray Tracing). Its approach to the open world genre is also quite dated, as it seems to get its inspiration from the Ubisoft formula, but despite all that, it is still quite an enjoyable game to play. The combat and loot systems borrow from the Nioh series and Wo Long and it can be very satisfying, especially if you like Japan and you prefer a more realistic take on the action-RPG genre. It's not the best game ever by any means, but there is something about it that had us come back for more. Now obviously, considering the price tag, it's probably best if you wait until a sale (and a bunch of patches).

With all this week's releases, we haven't had time to play Dragon’s Dogma 2 much since we received our Xbox Series X code last Friday. It's also because of a lack of time that we could only record an impression video in French. Still, we wanted to share it with you in case you wanted to see the game in action today. Videos without commentary will be available tomorrow on Xbox Series X and PC if you prefer to be a bit more patient. Thanks for your understanding.
