The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf
The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf, développé par OSome Studio et édité par Microids, est sorti le 25 octobre 2021 sur PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One et Xbox Series X|S. Classé dans les genres aventure et plateforme, ce titre utilise le moteur OEngine et propose une histoire où Gargamel a créé la Malfeuille, une plante toxique capable d'attirer et de capturer les Schtroumpfs tout en menaçant la forêt. Le Grand Schtroumpf confie à quatre personnages jouables, la Schtroumpfette, le Schtroumpf costaud, le Schtroumpf à lunettes et le Schtroumpf cuisinier, la mission de trouver les ingrédients d'un antidote en traversant cinq mondes. Ils disposent du Vaporisaschtroumpf, une invention du Schtroumpf bricoleur servant à soigner les plantes contaminées et à franchir les obstacles par des actions comme sauter, planer ou plonger, dans un gameplay d'exploration verticale permettant aussi d'améliorer l'outil et de faire revivre le village. La durée de la trame principale est estimée à six heures et à quatorze heures et demie pour une complétion intégrale, au prix de 19,99 euros.
La presse a salué un jeu de plateforme 3D amusant et accessible à tous, certains critiques notant toutefois des problèmes graphiques et une durée de vie très courte, tandis que des joueurs sur Steam regrettent une expérience répétitive et un scénario peu intéressant. L'accueil critique global reflète une note agrégée de 64,93.

« The Smurfs return to Nintendo Switch with a very fun platform suitable for everyone. »
« The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf is a nice 3D platform game that despite being entertaining has graphical issues and is very short. However, it can be enjoyed by players who simply want to have a good time. »
« Clearly, as 3D platformers go, The Smurfs – Mission Vileaf isn’t exactly going to make anyone forget Super Mario Odyssey. In fact, it’s not likely to make anyone forget New Super Lucky’s Tale. But if you – or, more likely, the young children in your life – are after a game that will provide a few hours of entertainment, you could certainly do a lot worse. »
« If you are looking for an adventure for a player, that young and old can enjoy, it is one of the best options that you will find this Christmas. It is not very original and it is always safe, but its pleasant and entertaining development and great dubbing invite you to continue playing. On Switch it has slight frame backfires, but it is perfectly playable. »
« If you are a long-time fan of Papa Smurf and his little friends, you will surely enjoy this. The game is pretty far from perfect and shows some hiccups on Nintendo Switch, but it's fun enough to achieve what he wanted: to entertain the younger players with a cartoonish and colorful adventure. »
« Although not original, the adventure is generous and the vaporisaschtroumpf, reminiscent of Luigi's Mansion or even Super Mario Sunshine, gives rise to several funny finds. Although imperfect in execution, this ecological fable should delight young and old alike. If you are in the 6-12 year old category, you can add a point. »
« New smurfing in video game form brings quite a solid platform action ideal for younger players who will not be bothered by repetitiveness and a slightly shorter duration of the main story. »
« The Smurfs Mission Vileaf is an oh-so-classic 3D platformer which only addresses the youngest of players. Yet, the amusing writing and fairy melodies might not make us forget its shortness, repetitiveness and sometimes buggy design. »

« The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf is a charming 3D platformer for Smurf fans of all ages! Pros - Gorgeous graphics - Catchy soundtrack - Intuitive mechanics and level design Cons - Short in length - Frame rate issues that are not as bad as some have claimed - Inevitable overuse of the word "Smurf" »
« Whenever approaching a licensed property, especially one associated more with kids, veteran gamers are going to come to the table with a healthy amount of earned skepticism. The Smurfs, in particular, have been featured in many games through many generations over the years, but I’d say few have been notable. Mission Vileaf, for me, is a pretty refreshing break from the mold, offering up a great opportunity to explore their three-apple-high world and save the day. The family-friendly 3D platforming is broken up by reasonably simple combat and use of your ever evolving Smurfy gear, clearing the infected vegetation and dispatching corrupted critters. Difficulty is thankfully defined up-front to allow for a wider range of skill levels, and the ability for someone to join in co-op style to lend assistance makes it a terrific option for gamers in training. It may be lacking in overall complexity, and it won’t go toe to toe with the best the genre has to offer on the system, but it’s still a Smurfy good time if you’re open to the experience. ****/2021/11/mini-reviews-november-5th-edition.html »
