Koei didn't change a thing to the Dynasty formula, and it's a shame. It's also unacceptable that the game still suffers from the same technical issues that were already known. This episode is supposed to give a tactical dimension to the series, but it doesn't really gain any gameplay depth.

Despite real new features and a not-so-great visual environment, Dead or Alive 5 Last Round still stands as a solid fighting game, with rich content and gameplay.

Although we'd expected more from an Xbox One exclusive (it's not visually stunning, not even that decent actually), Screamride manages to provide a fresh and fun experience. It still lacks some more content and is a bit pricey though.

This first episode of Resident Evil Revelations 2 is not fantastic but quite efficient. Playing with groups of two characters is nice, the atmosphere is as dark as we expected... Well, it does the job and makes us impatient to play the rest of the game in the next episode.

The Order: 1886 is a good game and a great interactive movie. Not revolutionary in terms of gameplay, it offers fantastic art direction, good storytelling and, more generally, a true sense of elegance. It just lacks a bit of substance and some unforgettable scenes to make it a great game.

Without magic, Shantae is even more charming than ever, and transforms this pirate's curse into a blessing. The belly dancer not only captures all the platformers tricks, but she also expresses her hairy character to boot. Such mischievous narrative, passionate work, sharpened gameplay and gripping adventure will generously fulfill the wishes of the genre's lovers.

Technologically impressive, Ironfall Invasion suffers gameplay problems that will certainly prevent you from buying more content after downloading the first free level and multiplayer mode.

Back to 2011, Assault Horizon Legacy already appeared as a deception for all the fans of the franchise. This New 3DS version doesn't change a thing. It still lacks of intensity and skill. And there are not enough fresh features to justify its purchase.

Visually stunning, taking advantage of an amazing soundtrack, Harold feels like Heaven to watch. And the 12 tracks from this 2D runner are perfectly tailored, feel unique and demand a lot of reflexion and reflex actions that hardcore - or really stubborn - gamers will fully enjoy. For people who don't have time to face its progressive but unforgivable difficulty and don't see themselves fighting for a good rank on leaderboards, it will probably feel like Hell. Still, this unique game will definitely reward perseverance.

Castle in the Darkness seems to have the best from the 8bit era. It's good-looking, plays fine, it has many bosses and secrets that people who loved playing this kind of games on NES will love. But it's also flawed by an erratic difficulty. There are too many instadeath spikes, sometimes impossible to notice, and checkpoints are sometimes really misplaced. Still an enjoyable action platformer that will probably not please everyone looking for a simple nostalgic trip.

The high-score chasing shooter Super Stardust returns to PlayStation 4 with enhanced visuals, 1080p resolution, and buttery 60 frames per second gameplay. Yummy.

Genuinely designed and offering something so different from what can be played on the market, this game is the current meaning of addiction and replayability. There was a pre-Evolve, and without any doubt, there will be a post-Evolve.

With its brand new story mode, Dragon Ball Xenoverse has what it takes to get the attention of longtime DBZ fans. Unfortunately, the game is brought down by its outdated presentation.

With a hunting ground expanded in every possible way, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is a wilder journey than ever, although some primal - if not archaic - instincts must still be tamed to enjoy such a deep experience. A real challenge for newcomers, but that's natural selection.

It looks like a game for children but it definitely presents a challenge for adults. Very well conceived, not really merciful and full of crafting ideas that makes us genuinely surprised, The Escapist suffers a bit from redundancy and a lack of storytelling. But in the end, it still is a very entertaining (and joyfully painful) experience.

Grow a plant, try to climb it, and enjoy the view... Grow Home is all about the pleasure of discovery. Take your time and enjoy the road, up to the top, where M.O.M. awaits you.

Still pleasant in terms of presentation, The Lost Lords is a good addition to the first episode. Maybe we could have been more pleased if more events or decisions had come to shock us. But every step makes us think that the next chapters won't be as "calm" as this one.

Grim Fandango was a fantastic adventure game 17 years ago, and it's still the same today. We just hoped the remaster to be up to it, and it's not totally the case.

The remastering prowess of Grezzo not only reminds, but also transfigures, the visionary design of Majora's Mask, so it's high time to (re)discover this darker face of Zelda.

This first episode of Life is Strange depicts the universe, the characters and its protagonist's power with great application. If it's not technically perfect and even if some references and clichés can bother us, it is indeed a lovely introduction to a promising tale.

Except the Exo Zombies mode that can keep you busy for a few hours, the other additions of Havoc (4 new maps and the AE4 assault rifle) are not refreshing enough to make this DLC essential.

Dying Light mixes elements from Dead island, Mirror's Edge and Far Cry efficiently. Crafting, action, exploration and free running are all well-implemented in this open-world survival game. And you can expect to be genuinely frightened when the night comes. With a lot of content and satisfying ways to play in multiplayer, this game can, indeed, please a wide audience, even if everything is not perfect.

Saints Row IV is as fun as ever. The New Gen consoles' power doesn't add much to the game however. And Gat Out Of Hell is clearly missable.

It's hard not to give in and buy this HD remaster when you are a fan of the Resident Evil series. That's also the perfect occasion to discover a true masterpiece for everyone who hadn't played it yet. Some may say that except its graphical facelift, this new version lacks some real additions, and that's true, but Resident Evil is still a masterpiece and it's more enjoyable here than ever.

Lumino City is a nice puzzle game with an incredible art direction, but some of its puzzles can be wearisome.

Rune Factory 4 offers a compelling mix of A- RPG and farming, crafting, dating sim. A charming game, filled with a lot of activities and a really refreshing atmosphere.

Nearly on par with the Portal series, The Talos Principle is a refreshing title. Thanks to its many smart ideas and inspired puzzles. Game of not-so-obvious challenges, it will demand some patience for sure, but it's really worth your time.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly gentler looks of Shin Megami Tensei IV, it's more devilish than ever. Just like a succubus, this devious RPG will suck your whole life and lead you to the depths of hell, where you relentlessly die seducing more powerful demons, while wondering what is good or bad. And such ambiguity carried through the subtle narrative only strengthens the mature tone of this naughty experience, in every sense of the word.

Tales of Hearts is a solid J-RPG, but clearly not the best in the series... and this PS Vita remake (the original game came out on DS seven years ago) is not improving it at all : the 3D graphics are actually less charming than the 2D was.

This first DLC certainly brings new content, but this is where the disappointment lies. We have one more raid, but it's still about revisiting the same content again and again.

Syberia is a game that marked its time. The PS3/Xbox 360 and iPad/iPhone versions allow us to discover again this good old game, with its qualities and its failures... unfortunately untouched.

A good compilation of three magnificent adventure games but not essential for somebody who has already played the DS versions, and/or owns an iOS platform and can get the whole package for half the price asked on eShop.

Generous and hypnotic, Geometry Wars takes on a new dimension with superb graphics, 3D levels and new multiplayer modes. Too bad, however, that the Adventure mode is so difficult and that the quality of the soundtrack is not as good as we hoped.

Teslagrad is all about electricity, magnetism, and mind bending puzzles. The hand-drawn graphics and atmospheric music will take you to the top of the Tesla tower with a broad grin on your face.

When it was released for the PC in 2012 this First Person Slasher delivered some good combat mechanics. But this console version is technically outdated and isn't able to transcribe its depth. A total mess.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX is an excellent HD remake. If you want to discover or rediscover this universe this is undoubtedly the best opportunity to jump in.

Juju offers a charming, neatly realised adventure, which is even more enjoyable with a friend. But this tender panda suffers from a short lifespan and lacks stronger claws to leave its mark on the platformers jungle.

It's funny, it's brilliant, it's Tales from the Borderlands. After the seriousness of The Walking Dead, Telltale wants to show to the world they are still the king of comedy. We can't argue with that.

The Crew is an open world racing game that impresses with its size and enchants with its good ideas. Too bad this pleasant experience, packed with challenges of all kinds, is marred by poor driving sensations, AI problems and disappointing graphics.

Lara Croft and The Temple of Osiris offers a dynamic, atmospheric and fun adventure that reveals all of its potential in multiplayer sessions.

An effective concept of arcade game but just for... a few minutes.

Chariot is a difficult and adorable platformer, sometimes infuriating, but the subtle alchemy of its gameplay gives more satisfaction than frustration.

LEGO Batman 3 offers a fun new adventure for young and old players. Comic book fans will get a kick out of the humor and constant fan service.

In an attempt to deliver something fresh to Dead Island's fans, Fatshark fails in every possible way: technically outdated, the game doesn't convince at all. Neither in its stealth phase nor its action phase.

This second episode is still a fun and convincing rhythm game, but be warned: the difficulty level has tripled since last time.

As usual with Telltale since The Walking Dead, the first episode is a beautiful promise for what is to come. If you're a fan of the studio and Game of Thrones, you will easily dive in this experience that picks from both. Choice system is still efficient, the fact that we play different characters works fine and the atmosphere from the series is well respected. We're eager to see what's coming in the next episodes.

COH 2 is steeped in quality : he got rid of unnecessary additions of episode 2 and offers us an intense and gripping single player campaign. The series is back on track.

With Smash Bros. for Wii U, Nintendo offers a meticulous and generous game, technically stunning and with an indestructible replay value, whether playing alone or with friends, in local or online multiplayer. If entertainment is a science, Smash Bros. for Wii U deserves the Nobel.

Just like Captain Toad, if you can't jump, you'd better use your brain. This down-to-earth approach transforms the environments into puzzles that require to look harder - and dig deeper - than expected in order to find all of their design treasures.

Technically speaking, this Wii U version of Watch_Dogs is awful. Add to this the lack of control while moving the camera, targeting or driving, and we can say that the 6 months-delay wasn't worth the wait... Next!

FRAMED is a brilliant puzzle game that you can't quit one you've started playing it. Even if it's too short, the experience is memorable for what it does great: its mechanics feel great, it's beautiful, well-rhythmed, with a fantastic jazz score. A must have for any smartphone/tablet owner.

Transcending what the already good Persona 4 Arena was, Ultimax nearly appears as a god tier amongst the fighting games to date. Attractive, compelling, time consuming. What else?

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire push to new heights the weakest duo in the series. Two excellent remakes that still doesn't surprise and innovate as much as Pokémon X and Y did last year.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire push to new heights the weakest duo in the series. Two excellent remakes that still doesn't surprise and innovate as much as Pokémon X and Y did last year.

The handover took place the best way between Media Molecule and Sumo Digital: LittleBigPlanet 3 is more satisfying than ever with its strong story mode, its smart gameplay additions and its fantastic creation mode.

Despite some improvements, NBA Live 15 loses again its fight against the NBA 2K rival. Only the most indulgent gamers could be satisfied with the spectacular basketball proposed by Electronic Arts.

With its laborious gameplay, This War of Mine is not a game for everyone... but it's probably the most interesting game about War and the more engaged and efficient "serious game" so far.

BlazeRush is a fun game that would deserve more players online, as it is really difficult to find online competitors.

The story and visuals of Randal's Monday feel very promising at first. But this point-and-click suffers from a lack of sharp characters and dialogues, while the puzzle design can make you shed a tear as it asks you to try everything with all the items in your possession... without knowing why. A disappointment.

With a game like Never Alone, the grade system has its limits. Anyone who will be transported by this timeless story, escaped from a storybook, will probably forgive the various gameplay issues... the others probably won't.

With WWE 2K15 wrestling fans finally get to play a good looking game. Unfortunately the game is severely lacking when it comes to content.

The promise of playing a Templar is the only new appeal of Assassin's Creed Rogue. Everything else was already shown and done last year with Black Flag. The experience is solid but still disappointing.

Warlords of Draenor does not upset the MMO as we've known it for a few years (accessibility, speed, ease ...), and this may well be the only thing you can blame on it. However, Blizzard managed to make us travel again, and allows us to find the roots of the Warcraft series on Draenor.

Far Cry 4 recites the lesson from the glorious previous episode. Kyrat is a beautiful place to explore and there is a lot of action, stealth and exploration waiting for players. But it doesn't bring anything new to the formula and its story and characters are mostly disappointing.

Finally freed from the AR play cards, the Invizimals are back in greater numbers with more customizable skills. But this brave Resistance is still hindered by precision quirks and repetitiveness, thus only relentless hunters will keep battling.

Rockstar did it again. Not only is this new version of Grand Theft Auto V much prettier than the original version, it is also offers a new and convincing first person mode. Truly unmissable.

With gorgeous visuals (and some bugs, as usual), Assassin's Creed Unity is more an evolution than a revolution, but what it changed it did it right, giving a new stealth approach and adding a fresh experience with the co-op missions.

There are much better ways to discover the Muppets - and enjoy the PS Vita possibilities - than this hollow platformer.

BioWare studio wanted to redeem itself for the not-so-convincing Dragon Age II. This episode is one of its finest productions. Amazing environments that take hours to get explored, greats quests with some hard decisions to make, fantastic characters and a great combat system: Dragon Age :Inquisition will probably become a masterpiece for anyone who's been in love with Dungeons & Dragons or Tolkien's books for a long time.

As we expected, PES 2015 is back in the game. This first edition on PS4 and Xbox One (even if this version is visually a bit disappointing) will please all of those who were missing the unique feeling from the series. Beautiful and incredibly enjoyable when you get to improve your skills and understand how it works.

On top of a rather large industrial complex, Stealth Inc. 2 explores new methods of infiltration through the GamePad, its asymmetrical functions being wonderfully exploited for the cooperative manoeuvres. But such precise operations require some skills that only hardened secret agents possess.

The Master Chief Collection is clearly the compilation Halo fans wanted. Overflowing with content, the game should give Halo fans plenty to do while they wait for Halo 5: Guardians' release.

Daedalus No Escape is a nice little game to play multiplayer, with feelings that remind the shooters in arena as Quake 3. However, the camera sometimes produces nausea and the whole game is not very diverse.

Football Manager has increased again in realism through pertinent adjustments. An essential for soccer's fans.

This is not the ultimate karaoke experience that was promised. Changes applied to a great formula will definitely annoy those who love the franchise. Singing in your phone looks cool, when it works, but in terms of content and game modes, it's just a regression. Sad.

With its intriguing universe and vertiginous aerial combat, Freedom Wars seemingly possessed all the weapons to win the battle of the monster hunters. But the narrative is slowly being pushed in the background by the repetitive flow of missions required to craft more and more powerful equipment. Fortunately, the gameplay is both sharp and deep thanks to the polyvalence of the thorn, which opens a tactical approach that perfectly gets into cooperation, multiplayer representing the main reason to take part in these never-ending conflicts.

Advanced Warfare is a really good CoD episode, with the Exo evolutions and a campaign supported by an excellent cast, but it doesn't revolutionize the series.

Samurai Warriors 4 is a descent beat them all for the PS4, and if you like Muso games, this is one of the best.

Undoubtedly the best clone of Dark Souls so far, but with its few flaws, it remains in the shadow of this model.

Amplitude's habit of providing interesting background, artistically pleasant environment and technically comfy games will help gamers battle the (good) frustration of the challenge.

Too stingy to give rise to large parties. Just for a drink, but at 12 euros.

Deadcore is a suprenant game, with fast gameplay and a good level design. It only lacks more variety.

The whole spirit of South Park in two magnificent flippers. Essential for fans of one or the other.

Harmonix managed to make a good rhythm game and a good Kinect game in Fantasia : Music Evolved. Even if it's not perfect and mainly lacking of classic Disney songs that could make it a perfect experience for it audience, kids, this production can entertain a few hours thanks to its mechanics and varied track list.

Sunset Overdrive is a cool and very fun game for all arcade and open-world fans, but it's not really the must-have Xbox Owners were waiting for.

It may not be the deep and massive game The Legend of Korra deserves, but this game is still a nice little beat'em all by Platinum Games.

Meridian: New World is a classic strategy game. It lacks in variety, but remains fun and effective. Too bad that the visuals have not been worked more.

Shadow Warrior is a good shooter that stands out for its humor and fast-paced action, and that's enough to satisfy fans of FPS until something more substantial.

If you like strategic turn-based games and futuristic settings, it's hard not to recommend Civilization: Beyond Earth, even if it doesn't revolutionize the series and still suffers some flaws.

Legend of Grimrock 2 remains very similar to the first Legend of Grimrock, and that is exactly what was expected of it. The island's open level design adds a layer of difficulty at first, but you just learn to survive step after step and experience kicks in: you don't forget to save often anymore. Legend of Grimrock 2 is a very good game, but not for everybody. Only gamers who raised their voices against the lord of boring games can be sent there.

A good version of the first game. Smooth and tearingless, this episode keeps on being an excellent beat them all that, despite some minor flaws, can be considered as a fantastic way to discover this insane and stunning IP from PlatinumGames.

If we could ignore a distressing technique, the emptiness of Natural Doctrine and its amateur appearance almost make it impossible to recommend to anyone. Even lovers of the genre, T-RPG.

Styx is a good surprise for infiltration's fans.

Lemmings with sheep and gore executions. A solid formula but not enhanced by this game.

A rich and complex tool. This is not necessarily a quality if you just want to have fun without spending hours on scripts. The interest now depends on your involvement and on the talent of the community, which is too weak for the moment.

Skylanders Trap Team offers a nice new feature with its monsters' capture possibilities. Kids will love it, even if it's not as interesting as last year's SWAP figures in terms of gameplay... and beware : you'll have to buy all the new Trap Team figures and all the new traps to finish everything. That could easily become a huge trap for your money.

Built for the tactile battlegrounds, this puzzling tactical RPG reveals slowly but surely a highly addictive power.

A great improvement over a very good surprise of 2012. PC players of the original game could not see the difference but gamers on PS3 and Xbox 360 and especially newcomers have a great opportunity to (re)discover and enjoy a very good game.
