    Ori and the Will of the Wisps
    Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a poignant story and its gameplay is richer than that of its predecessor; it offers plenty of new features with an interesting RPG dimension. The world of Moon Studios is always as magical for the eye and the mind, and enchanting music brings the perfect final touch to this dazzling adventure. Nevertheless, the game suffers from real technical problems: frequent framerate drops and freezes prevent you from fully enjoying this journey. Aside from that, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is almost perfect.

    Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition
    Devil May Cry 3 is still good and this version on Nintendo Switch is a good opportunity to (re)dive into this Dantesque universe. The possibility to change style on the fly brings modernity to the gameplay which is always enjoyable, even if the camera remains capricious. However, even though Devil May Cry 3 is a very good game, it’s starting to show signs of old age visually. Fortunately, Dante for his part, is still in shape!

    Dreams
    Dreams is a breath of fresh air in the world of video games. It is a huge playground and a real social network where the possibilities are unlimited. Films, music, games, everything seems at hand! Its solo campaign is funny, inspiring and smart. Nevertheless, despite the clear lessons, game's tools are difficult to master. It takes a long time and patience to achieve beautiful things.

    Dawn of Fear
    The intention of Bok3nsit is laudable, Dawn of Fear is a nice tribute to the games of the late 90s and in particular Resident Evil. But the game would have deserved more care... It suffers from too many bugs and an obvious lack of personality: whether in environments or enigmas, everything seems hollow. Old fashioned technically and in the way is it played, it could have been saved by an atmosphere but the music and the script fail to retain attention. And it's definitively not scary...A big disappointment.

    Zombie Army 4: Dead War
    At first, Zombie Army 4: Dead War is pure stress relief. Full of energy, it generously rewards the zombie frag and pushes the player to go further to collect items, assets and improvements. Sadly, when the initial adrenaline rush fades away, the experience quickly becomes repetitive, even in co-op. All that remains is a very classical action game that won't leave a mark on our minds.

    The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan
    Even though Man of Medan is far less inspired than its studio predecessor Until Dawn, it offers an enjoyable horrific atmosphere, with good ideas and well thought out sequences. Unfortunately we would have appreciated more surprises and an extended lifespan, which would have given us the time to be really afraid. Everything is going too fast and we have the feeling that the story is sloppy. Too bad because this first chapter of The Dark Pictures has a good potential, but all it does is just scratch the surface.

    Gears 5
    Gears 5 proposes a breathtaking solo campaign and a generous array of multiplayer modes. Even if the recipe remains classic, we really want to go through with it. The characters are rather well written, the environments are often spectacular, and Jack the robot adds some salt to the gameplay. A visual feast and glorious action game that perfectly demonstrate Xbox One X's true power.

    Borderlands 3
    Borderlands 3 offers a generous experience, with colourful characters, neat gameplay and a charming universe. Its formula, very close to that of the previous episodes does not revolutionize the show but its small new features bring a little freshness and the scenario makes us want to go to the end of the adventure. Its dynamism and nervousness make it a choice piece for adrenaline-ready FPS lovers and license fans.

    Daymare: 1998
    Daymare 1998 looks like a vintage game. Its atmosphere reminds of some great Resident Evil vibes, but we would have more risk taking, because the general proposition deeply lacks identity to pay homage to the series created by Shinji Mikami. Gameplay perhaps a little less rigid and more original ideas would have played in its favor. Nevertheless, the 90’s lovers will feel some old, dusty, but charming memories.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint
    Ghost Recon Breakpoint offers a vast universe, where the survival aspects have been strengthened from GR Widlands. If the game suffers from a perfectible AI and a clear feeling of "déjà-vu", it doesn’t take anything away from its effectiveness. It works well, especially in coop, while the PVP is viciously nervous. An imperfect title, but with great moments, and a huge potential if handled with care by Ubisoft in the coming months.

    MediEvil
    More than 20 years after its released on PlayStation 1, Medievil is back from the dead on PS4. Unfortunately, it looks much more like a remastered version than a full fledged remake. It shines with colorful graphics and spooky atmosphere, but its gameplay remains too rigid, and its mechanics haven't aged well. A title reserved for fans of the license or lovers of Halloween and «The Nightmare Before Christmas».

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
    After a multiplayer-centric episode, the COD fans will be delight with the return of a nervous and strong solo campaign. Modern Warfare is back with old-fashioned gameplay that is more grounded and efficient. The generous amount of content adds some depth to one of the best chapters of the saga to date. Magic!

    Luigi's Mansion 3
    Luigi’s Mansion 3 is a glorious moment of happiness with the childhood and Halloween's flavors. Smart in its gameplay, neat in terms of scenery and atmosphere, it offers a solid and refreshing experience in this labyrinthic hotel. Good ideas follow one another in fun situations where bosses and puzzles are full of surprises. A true success for the Nintendo Switch.

    Death Stranding
    Death Stranding stands as a powerful author’s game which drives a strong message of how our over-connected society is evolving, and how we can help other players. Unlike many AAA games, it shines on a truly spiritual level. Well written, engaging and visually magnificent, it offers, despite some pacing flaws, an astonishing solo game with elegant multiplayer elements. A unique representation of Hideo Kojima’s talent.

    Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot
    Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is a declaration of love to the universe imagined by Akira Toriyama. The game is faithful while offering some new details to make the story even more coherent. The gameplay is easy to understand and the fast progression of the characters allows one to immediately take pleasure despite a capricious camera... All the narrative arcs are explored and thanks to the few original re-marketed musical pieces, we are totally immersed in the animated sequences. However, the RPG aspect is not explored enough and the world lacks some consistency. Fans and those who want to discover the story of Son Goku and his friends will be enchanted by this imperfect, but touching, title.
