    Like Alan Wake, Quantum Break isn't a flawless video game. But it's a proposition - a spectacular and beautiful narrative video game with some great action elements and a unique series within - that has to be considered and will certainly entertain many players.

    The DSi remains the truest platform for Shantae: Risky's Revenge, visually and ergonomically, but this Director's Cut edition is somehow a more accessible way to (re)discover the charms of our irresistible belly dancer.

    This 3DS version of Hyrule Warriors offers exactly the same experience as its Wii U counterpart (except a logical graphical downgrade) but it adds new characters and missions, and especially an interesting new fairy mode. The result is still the same: Zelda fans will love it or not depending on their judgement about the repetitiveness of the Dynasty Warriors formula.

    A lovely but not flawless start. With some familiar elements and new additions that can make it feel quite fresh, this first episode shows some great potential, in terms of possibilities and challenges, for what's to come. But beware of its awkward AI and loading times that can really, really be boring. Some things never change, one would say.

    The Division is a very good game. Mixing singleplayer and multiplayer in a splendid New York setting, the map offers plenty of content and the Dark zone is a really nice PVP/PVE place to play. The gameplay is simple, the AI is far from good, but the entire experience is a must.

    Far Cry Primal is instantly pleasing to the senses and great to play. Stone Age is a really interesting setting and the whole map offers a lot of content and some great supporting characters. The PC version is very similar to the consoles versions, its major defect being those blurred textures.

    Project X Zone 2 is a lot like its predecessor gameplay wise. And it's clearly not the most challenging Tactical-RPG available. But what the game lacks in difficulty, it more than makes up for in fan service. The game's cast of characters is incredible and its dialogue is both full of references and funny lines. If you love Japanese video games and their history, you'll probably love Project X Zone 2.

    Bravely Second: End Layer is a sequel parody, in the best sense of the term. The narrative makes fun of the plot's clichés and recycled elements, assuming those at the same time. But Silicon Studio also uses such irony to hide some serious purpose through the gameplay evolutions that push its system towards even more paroxysmal limits, just like the scenario breaks the barrier to involve the player much more deeply in the game.

    An excellent DLC that could claim itself as a full game without blushing. Dying Light style is still here, with an interesting plot and ending, and still efficient.

    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon crawled back to its roots - a well written narrative and an unforgiving gameplay - while modernizing some core concepts such as the friendlier recruitment system to create a more cohesive adventure through a larger world.

    Although this remastered version might only be seen as a technical improvement, Gravity Rush appears even more accomplished on PS4, both from an artistic or a gameplay perspective.

    The story and the world of Xenoblade Chronicles X are both truly massive, as if they gathered all Tetsuya Takahashi's distinct influences. But Monolith Soft still managed to balance the narrative with the gameplay, while upgrading its mechanics. Hence the addition of Skells transcends combat and exploration through a large scale quest that can be freely accomplished alone, or with other pioneers. An inspired, yet original and definitely modern J-RPG.

    Beyond is both better and worse than its illustrious predecessor Heavy Rain. It features more varied gameplay, a better story, talented Hollywood actors and outstanding graphics... but it also lacks something: the ability to make truly decisive choices throughout the adventure.

    The Old Hunters provide invaluable hindsight through this nightmare, exhuming Yharnam's darkest secrets while fleshing out the gameplay with an extended set of tools.

    It took patience to enjoy StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void, but we can say that Blizzard reconfirms that the RTS is its chosen field.

    A harsh conclusion to a season that confirms we were clearly never in charge and that there were no connections to be expected between the different playable characters - that feel too Stark.

    Home design gets even more captivating with the expanded possibilities of this dedicated installment. But such focus on creative freedom induces the withdrawal of some Animal Crossing's fundamental elements, hence shrinking variety, interest and life as a whole in this world. And rather sadly, the invitational collection of amiibo definitely makes Happy Home Designer look like a decorative addition.
