Cat Quest 3
Cats, adventures and an artistic direction that is as colorful as it is sparkling: this is the frankly tempting program of Cat Quest 3, an action RPG game developed by The Gentlebros that promises to be charming in every respect. By mixing 2D and 2.5D with a really cool “paper” aspect, we will even have the luxury of traveling the seas in boats, exploring dungeons, using a nice selection of weapons and evolving our cat – pirate – over time. In addition, the title offers the possibility to play alone or in pairs in local cooperation: a good opportunity to go in search of treasures and at a very reasonable price, since the software is announced for only 19.99 dollars.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits
When it was announced and then released on PlayStation 5 and PC, it caused a huge stir: now it’s time for Kena to arrive on Xbox. And you’re going to enjoy it! We’re talking about an action-adventure game with a Souls-like flavor, but as beautiful as a Pixar: immersed in a mysterious and magical world, our heroine sets out to find the lost spirits of the mountain, crossing path with a pack of sometimes very strong enemies. Kena Bridge of Spirits is a really cool adventure that will make your jaw drop while offering a challenge: a subtle mix of genres, as we flirt between very sweet and hardcore … but always with a lot of magic. “We remind you that the game received a good rating of 18/20 in our columns.”

Black Myth: Wukong
We’ve been hearing about this soul-killer from China for a while now: Developed by Game Science, whose first game it is, Black Myth Wukong is highly anticipated and promises a lot. We can even say that it puts both feet right in the bowl amazing art direction, extremely impressive combat, top-notch graphics, and a desire to develop rich and deep gameplay! This is a remake of Journey to the West, a classic Chinese novel inspired by the country’s mythology. You only have to look at the screenshots or trailers to understand that we are dealing with one of the biggest software programs of the year: suffice it to say that our eyes are on it with all the attention it deserves. Future nugget in sight? After so many years of development and teasing, we hope so.

Born of dust
You may know that Quantic Dream is now not only a development studio but also a publisher: its Spotlight division has already released the very cool Under the Waves and Lysfanga, for example, and Dustborn is therefore next on the list. The least we can say is that it is unique in its kind: we find ourselves in a huge road trip in the company of a group of crazy friends across the United States of America. In this futuristic universe, presented under an artistic direction that hits the mark (and the music, please!), We play Pax, who uses his bat to confront the enemy, but also his words, which will have a real impact both in the fights and in the dialogues. So we have an experience that promises as much narrative as action with a pretty nice feel-good atmosphere: in short, Dustborn looks really interesting and we can’t wait to discover it with the controller in hand.

Visions of Mana
Do you like Japan? Do you like RPGs? Well, you have every chance of liking Visions of Mana, which comes straight from the corridors of Square Enix and, above all, turns out to be the newborn of an arm-long cult saga. In the role of Val and accompanied by her childhood friend Hina, who has just been destined as a fire sacrifice (nice), we make our way to the Mana Tree through a semi-open world with ultra-shimmering decorations. Yes, there are still some breathtaking panoramas with a universe as elaborate as ever, but also real-time combat where we can unleash bladed weapons and elemental powers. Of course, with the possibility of embodying playable characters, since we can break shinbones in teams of three: It promises to be quite complex in terms of mechanics, while exploration is clearly required… In short, there is something to have a good time with. In any case, we sincerely hope so.

Star Wars: Outlaws
Certainly the biggest game of the month, but also one of the most anticipated of 2024. Star Wars Outlaws comes to us from Massive, the Ubisoft studio behind The Division series, and will feature Kay Vess, an outlaw – the law is set to carry out “the biggest heist on the Outer Rim”. The plot is set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and therefore forgoes lightsabers to offer us more down-to-earth gameplay. or a TPS where you can even get into speeders to travel the huge maps of several very different planets. We also don’t forget the large spaceship sequences, the nature and city exploration, the possible infiltration sequences and many other facets that make the game a rather unique and quite ambitious Star Wars title.
