Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has the merit of offering a really good single-player campaign, and for that alone, it is worth launching. As the Gulf War breaks out, a clandestine force has infiltrated the highest levels of the CIA. Black Ops veteran Frank Woods and his team find themselves forcibly exiled and hunted. If you’re not particularly fond of multiplayer, the main story of the new Black Ops is sufficiently paced and well-written that you won’t get bored.
Even if it is not particularly daring in its story, or in its gameplay, the recipe Call of Dutyhere applied literally, gives you value for your money.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Despite a missed take-off to say the least, the fault of saturated servers, this new version of Microsoft Simulator makes you want to believe it. This flight simulation allows you to travel through a reproduction of the Earth with incredible graphics and precision. Flight Simulator 2024 uses the codes of the previous game, and still offers the possibility of making free flights, or buying planes or airports. A Photo Challenges mode appears, in which you will have to fly over part of the continent, and take photos of the fauna and flora.
A career mode allows you to pass paid licenses, with fortunately virtual money to be won in the game.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 takes place in Ukraine’s Chernobyl exclusion zone, ravaged by a nuclear disaster in 1986. As a lone stalker, you explore this post-apocalyptic world, aware that your choices and actions will have consequences. You will have the possibility to explore the exclusion zone as they see fit with an advanced survival and inventory management system. You will also need to implement different approach tactics depending on the enemies. The life simulation system offers a real-time environment, in order to make this world a little more credible and less welcoming.
Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle
Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle is a video game which takes place in the eponymous cinematographic saga, between Raiders of the Lost Ark et The Last Crusade. The game, developed under the Lucasfilm umbrella, is a single-player, first-person adventure. In 1937, following the theft of an artifact from Marshall College, Indiana Jones went to the Vatican to investigate. It turns out that sites of spiritual significance have been built throughout history, perfectly aligned in a circle around the globe. Sinister forces are scouring the planet to find this ancestral power linked to the Ancient Circle.
In addition to the atmosphere, which promises to be particularly successful, you will of course find the famous archaeologist and the elements that made the films successful, with the added bonus of a VF provided by Richard Darbois, the voice of Harrison Ford. The title is scheduled for December 9, 2024.
