    Just like Disneyland, such a collection of entertaining attractions filled with fan service will delight children, but the repetitiveness of those activities and the lack of narrative reveal this magical world's superficial nature, even more obvious to the grown-ups, unless they still enjoy wearing ear hats.

    With Bayonetta 2, Wii U has its trump card: a queen of spades that takes advantages on almost every game of the genre and hits us right in the heart. It's an outstanding production, beautifully executed, with state of the art mechanics and ridiculously generous. And it can be enjoyed by everyone as its difficulty and handling can be adjusted. Definitely a beat them all no one has the right to ignore.

    For hardcore gamers in need of a huge challenge, Fenix Rage is definitely a must-have. It is incredibly well-executed in terms of gameplay and level design. This lovely platformer feels like some sheet music that would punish you each time you're not exactly in the right timing. Which can repulse a lot of players eventually but will motivate some others to be busy for quite some time.

    Importing the physics and graphics engines from the Forza series to an open-world arcade game was a great idea, even at the first attempt on Xbox 360, but Forza Horizon 2 on Xbox One does even better, refining everything, and it's actually the best open-world racing game on consoles so far.

    Great atmosphere and presentation, beautiful visuals, well rebuilt interface, lots of game modes: FIFA 15 only changes a little from FIFA 14, but it's still a sharp football experience on consoles. The lack of really new ideas may possibly be well-accepted this year, but it probably won't be the same next year.

    Both old school (even the bugs are!) and modern with its time limited events, Wasteland 2 is not only an RPG for old farts buried in nostalgia, it's also an interesting and strong experiment from InXile, helped by fantastic writing skills and good gameplay, which - and this rare for a RPG - actually works (more or less), especially since the developers created an environment where you have to use every mechanism to win. After a few patches, Wasteland 2 will be this year's best RPG, no doubt.

    Ten years later, Cyanide Studio does quite a good job to relaunch the Pro Rugby Manager IP. It's far from perfect though, with some bugs in the 3D sequences and still a lot of work to do on the ergonomics in the menus.

    Endless Space gameplay is pretty well adapted to this fantasy/SF Civ-like that also provides new interesting features. Most of these are well-thought and Endless Legend is close to perfection technically and artistically. Some might find the tactical fights a bit fastidious and the AI too timid. Let's hope Amplitude will work on that after release. Also, it's better to join the community and look for multiplayer games anyway if you want to enjoy Endless Legend at full capacity.

    Don't be fooled: Hyrule Warriors is pure Dynasty Warriors within the universe of The Legend of Zelda. Fan service and repeatability are the best words to define this Koei Tecmo game. If you are more a Dynasty Warriors fan than a Zelda fan, play it, or else, beware.

    Destiny is not really the revolutionary FPS we were waiting for, but it is still a good one. The gameplay, art direction, graphics and musics are fantastic, but right now the game lacks content at a high level and you can get bored easily from its repetitiveness.

    A dating sim with pigeons? Eh, that's funny! A couple of minutes. Then it becomes embarrassing. There is an interesting post-apocalyptic background hidden behind all the WTF, but as rich as it is, anyone who's really into this kind of game will probably like interacting with human characters better. Especially for this price.

    A good game to play between your XCOM or Xenonauts sessions, with interesting characters, a great setting and a simple but efficient gameplay.

    Even if it's not as awesome as the last episode of the first season, Not Going Back proves to be an excellent conclusion to this story arc. We've known fear, encountered some great characters, felt joy meeting again with an old friend, and rage against someone truly evil. Clem has grown up right before our eyes and thanks to our decisions. All of this has led to an ... ending. And because there are five of them, which are truly different, meaning that the illusion of choice is not an illusion anymore, promises for what to happen next are great.

    Risen 2's difficulty was too high, and it's now too easy in Risen 3. Balance is at fault, despite a collection of interesting gameplay (nothing new, though). Without any kind of challenge, the player sips quietly on the content of this ambient RPG. Exploration is the primary activity. With nice sceneries and interesting people to meet. Maybe a better storyline would have helped going through the boredom of combat.
