Outer Wilds is a first-person spatial sandbox where you discover secrets of the universe and of a strange civilization planet after planet. You can expect 15 to 25h of gametime and it was a pretty fine and unique experience for me. I never played something like that where the main core of gameplay is just based on human curiosity to learn more on the universe and how space works.


You are basically an astronaut alien with 4 eyes from the Timber Hearth planet and your people have always wanted to understand their universe with a longterm space program. For you, it's the D-Day : the launch day and your mission is to learn more on the Nomaï civilization which has left a record of its passage to all the planets of the solar system. There are 8 planets
and some other structures to explore with many Nomaï buildings.


The core gameplay is reading the Nomaï's informations to be honest and you need to use your brain to solve many puzzles. I highly recommand to play it with a controller due to the difficulty of flying. So how Outer Wilds works ? You play in a constant 22minutes timeloop where you will always die at the end and restart from your home planet. So you are learning new things every loop and use that knowledge to understand where you need to go next in order to learn more on a strange spatial phenomenon. The more you learn, bigger is your detective tree. It's all about you and your ship where you can see your logs and refill your spacesuit with oxygen and fuel. Ah, i had almost forgotten : you can grill marshmallows in the middle of nowhere. I would say the gameplay is pretty simple.
There are not bad aliens with guns, just you and the dangerous space where you might get killed by an asteroid or a space fish.


I really liked Outer Wilds. For sure, it wasn't the biggest narrative game i played but the big twist, the beautiful music and how the small indie team managed to build a strong game based on intellectual curiosity is just original.
This is what i expect from AA game : take game design risks so players can experience something fresh in the video game industry. Get the game on sales or buy it now because the developper team deserves it.

Have a nice day.

ABZU is a short-narrative game made by Giant Squid known for Journey. You experience a short-adventure about 2h long in various underwater environments. The art design is absolutely stunning, a beautiful soundtrack supports the story.


The connection with Journey is real : the story is again based on a mysterious civilization which has collapsed and you have to understand through many mosaics and architecture what happened.


Like in Journey, it's very simple. You can basically swim, accelerate and activate objects or fish checkpoints. You have many puzzles to solve which are very easy.


All things considered, It's a beautiful game. I highly recommand it as the best game to chill. Don't expect a challenging game or a long story.

You like Star Wars ? A multiplayer experience? This game is surely made for you

After more than 500h on origin, I'm glad to review on Steam one of my favorite multiplayer game.

Often-Asked Questions

• Is it always pay-to-win ? Well...you might have this opinion because EA has a greedy reputation, but the DICE dev team made great improvements to the progression system and now i can say honestly that there are no items in the game that can be bought that give you an advantage over other players. Even better, with the Celebration edition all the skins (with the exception of those unblockable by challenges) are given !
  
  
• Is there a squad system ? Yes! Up to 4 players in the same squad, you can respawn with each other as close to the front as possible.
  
  
• Can I crossplay multiplayer with other platforms ? The game is actually running on the same servers of Origin, so you are always playing with origin players which is good. But at this point, there isn't crossplay with PS4 or Xbox One versions.
  
  
• Can i synchronize my origin in-game progression to the steam version ? Absolutely, you just need to log in with your origin account the first time you start the game on steam.
  
  
• Is the story mode worth to play ? I guess, the story is OK. I highly recommend it as a very good tutorial to the game mechanics (which are the same in multiplayer). The cinematics are very polished, but don't buy this game if you're only going to do the solo!
  
  
• -How does the progression system work ? As you play, you gain levels on a soldier class, a hero, a ship, a vehicle and that gives you skill points. On each unit, you spend points on unique skill trees that give you bonuses on your units.
  
  
• Are novice players too disadvantaged compared to online veterans ? To be honest, yes. You will play with players lvl 50, 100, 200, even 400 but that doesn't mean the online experience is ruined. Yes, with the leveling-system on battle cards, some units are really op but you can still dominate these veterans players step by step, especially in game modes with a lot of players (max 20vs20). There are many events that give XP bonuses ( x2, x3) and it's good to take advantage of them to gain more levels on your favorite units.

Well... for sure, Battlefront 2 had a very rocky start back in 2017 between the microtransaction controversy and a pay-to-win progression system. Fortunately, the development team at DICE did not give up and offered an avalanche of free content: new locations, modes, weapons, skins, heroes.
At this state of the game, you need to know that there won't be any new content update sadly but if you are new to the Battlefront, you still have hundreds of hours of fun on many maps and modes !

If you want a Star Wars multiplayer experience, this game is definetely for you, if you are just interested ONLY in the solo campaign, i don't think it would be wise to buy it.

If you are looking to mates you can add me on steam, i would be very happy to play this game with new players.

Have a nice day and see you on the battlefront.

-simple gameplay mechanics
-a loud message
-an amazing graphic style
-very vibrant , prismatic and colorful
You should definitely try it !

Well... Red Dead 2 is a great game, the ultimate open-world experience. Seems to be a western simulation with endearing characters and a good story, however the PC optimisation is really shameful for such AAA game. For instance, with a RTX 2080, i7-9700k and 16gb ram i can't get 60fps in ultra settings (more like 45-50fps).
