During the Spring holidays, you can also escape with this selection of three video games.
Planet Crafter
I don’t know what his crime is, but our little cosmonaut has been sentenced to join a planet somewhere in the Universe. It was chosen because it presented characteristics suitable for being colonized by humans. It is therefore up to you to prepare the ground. And the least we can say is that there is everything to do. On this piece of land with Martian colors, there is no water, no oxygen, no plants, no animals… in short, nothing. And you will have to remedy this with the numerous resources that you will find on site.
Planet Crafter is a game of exploration, but also of survival. The first emergency will be to find food, but also oxygen resources. At first, you won’t be able to stay outside your little survival pod for very long. But very quickly, by collecting titanium, iron, cobalt, then aluminum, sulfur or osmium, you will be able to build your little space station with all the comfort. Little by little, you will even be able to explore the planet a little more, discovering in particular the remains of spaceships that fell to the surface.
Planet Crafter is space conquest, calm, methodical, without aliens, but not without danger. The world is open and it’s a treat to see this barren place transform into a little paradise with its lakes, its flowers and soon its butterflies, its fish, and its trees. We quickly feel like the great creator in this non-violent and exciting game, developed by the French studio Miju Games.
most : Pleasant, addictive, at a cute price: 23.99 euros. The least: Lots of resource harvesting, some people find it boring. A few small texture issues, but nothing major.
The Planet Crafter from Miju Games studio is available on PC
Dragon’s Dogma 2
Return to planet Earth, at a time when the world was no less hostile, although rich in CO2. Regularly, a ferocious and sulfurous dragon appears on Earth and massacres everything in its path. Many of the best warriors of the kingdom perish. The dragon still ends up spotting an enemy more valiant than the others. He confronts him and plants a claw in his heart and takes away the precious throbbing. The vanquished becomes the chosen one, the Insurgent, the only one capable of putting an end to the atrocities of the winged monster.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a role-playing game in a fantasy universe. His particuliarity ? The insurgent has the ability to call on “Pawns”, companions who will help him in his quest, thanks to their talent as a warrior, mage or thief. The four of them travel the world, but will have to face other dangers than this dragon. Starting with so-called Insurgents.
With this sequel to a game released in 2012 and relatively unnoticed, publisher Capcom offers a good action game in a fantastic medieval universe. There’s plenty of fighting, plenty of creatures, treasure to discover, and deaths to find on the battlefields. Some monsters that inhabit this land can be dangerous when you are not powerful enough. You have to choose your companions carefully. There are many quests and many territories to explore. Prepare to wear out your shoes. The world is vast, strewn with pitfalls and populated by hundreds of non-player characters who are a bit like Professor Rollin (they always have something to say).
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a well-made, well-made, quite pretty RPG. The fights are rather pleasant and there are different ways to carry them out, with the help of your pawns, very useful and to which we sometimes tend to get attached (a word of advice, don’t leave them lying around near the water). The boss fights will give you a hard time. The game prioritizes experience and exploration, perhaps to the detriment of visibility and understanding. You can easily get lost in these hostile lands.
Most : Intense combat and an attractive universe. A wide choice of “pawns”. The least : A story that lacks a little charisma and the fights are sometimes a little messy.
Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma 2 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC (Steam).
Princess Peach: Showtime!
The life of a pothead is over.No more endless waiting for the plumber on a sad day like a water leak. Peach decided to take charge and go out. Not in a club, but at the Théâaaaatre. That’s good, the Etincelle one is in town. She follows her advisors and to their amazement, even before the first scene, the spectators are victims of a super-villain, Syrah, who takes them hostage. No plumber in sight, it’s the Princess who will take care of teaching him how to live.
Peach doesn’t have a screwdriver, but she will learn the power of sparklers. The young woman then goes around the different scenes and changes costumes – and weapons – each time, for dynamic mini-scenes. There is sometimes a little fighting, sometimes a little infiltration, a little humor too and a lot of fun. A family game, colorful and really entertaining.
most : Finally alone. The least : A little too easy.
Princess Peach: Showtime is available exclusively on Switch.
My kingdom for a Switch
Fans of medieval games and shiny swords will be delighted to learn of the release on the Nintendo console of Kingdom Come: Deliverance. With a “royal” version: very complete. The story has not changed. The kingdom of Bohemia is divided between its loyalty to a bad king, lazy and party-loving, and its cousin who brings only war and misery. The main advantage of this port (the game was released on PS4, PC and Xbox in 2018) is that you can play everywhere, pretending to be a knight. On Switch, the game loses in aesthetics, what it gains in portability. But the result remains very correct. The game is quite chatty, but the adventure is thrilling and the combat exhilarating in an open world.
