The days are now shorter than a woolen sweater in the washing machine, and every normal human being only wants one thing: to run his console or gaming PC at full speed to warm up the winter temperature. from his poorly insulated apartment. Rest assured, dear readers: the month of November promises to be busy.
Like every month, the writing of JVFR takes its most beautiful Sharpie and ticks the boxes of a calendar that has become almost unbreathable at the end of 2021.
Unpacking - November 2
Ah, the moves. The cries for help left in "read" by friends, whom the promise of unlimited beers and pizzas did not convince to give you a hand. Too bad for them. Because in Unpacking, unpacking is an intimate affair. A relaxing experience if ever there was one, the game of Witch Beam will not just make you take charms out of their boxes. There's a bit of a voyeuristic side to unpacking other people's things. And it is therefore quite naturally the story of our character that we will explore according to the empty boxes.
Unpacking will be unboxing on PC, Mac, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on November 2.

What could be better, after a few races on Forza Horizon 5, than to shout orders at players in a noisy football stadium? The facetious will doubtless answer “quantity of things”. The football fan, he exults. On the menu of Sports Interactive's latest effort: a new animation engine more real than real, new stats, and a coach creation tool that The Sims may be jealous of.

Final Fantasy XIV :Endwalker - November 23
None of the members of this editorial team play Final Fantasy XIV, this reputedly free MMORPG up to level 60™. This sentence, which you have heard about a thousand times this year from the mouths of influencers, is nevertheless based on a game whose popularity has been growing for several years. So much so that FF XIV is now the highest-grossing Final Fantasy episode ever released from the Square Enix factories. So the release of a new extension, Endwalker, is necessarily a date in the calendar. As for knowing what's inside though…ask someone who knows something about it.
Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker will please people who play Final Fantasy XIV starting November 23 on PC, Mac, PS4 and PS5.
