5th Cell got its recognition with Scribblenauts on the DS. With Run Roo Run, the studio seems to aime at creating the next Angry Birds. The only action you'll perform while playing the Kangooroo Mom looking for its baby : jump. 420 levels with puzzle elements and gradual difficulty, it's a nice principle, but it's so casual that one can't see any challenge coming his way. Maybe future level additions will up the ante, but it's clearly not as ambitious as Scribblenauts was.

If you are an absolute fan of Warhammer 40,000, skipping Space Marine 2 would be pure heresy. Saber Interactive blesses us with a gorgeous love letter to the iconic universe imagined by Games Workship, like few other games have before. Impersonating an Angel of Death has never been so thrilling and the slaughter made in the Emperor's name so beautiful to feast our eyes upon. The third person shooters aficionados will also find here an extremely solid title, whether through an although rather short but enjoyable Campaign or with the Operations mode, that offers huge replayability, or finally with the multiplayer mode. Despite the huge work done on the game that shows a contagious passion, it severly lacks content in its base form. Let's hope it will be regularly updated to keep its players engaged in the long term for this excellent representation of the grim darkness of the far future... as long as your play it with your most faithful brothers in arms.

Dragon Age II is blessed with a deep universe and a ton of content, but it's sadly undermined by its technical side. Even though, visually, the game goes beyond the original, it still forgoes some elements of its predecessor in order to become more action-oriented, which is a choice that will most probably keep dividing opinions. We'd have hoped to see this sequel install the franchise as a must-have by correcting the shortcomings of the original. Instead, we'll have to make-do with finding it most entertaining indeed, but without any added praise. Too bad.

It's the less expensive and the most polished version of the Virtua Fighter Saga. Yes, it's not all that new either, but the original VF5 was a strong title for hardcore and elitist versus fighting fans, and this one is definitely a revision worth buying for them.

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.

Hitman 2 doesn't try to revolutionize the formula of the previous game. And it's totally acceptable as it is still efficient. There's a lot things to do/observe/infiltrate/kill/hide/use in each huge and beautiful level, and it is indeed a great assassin simulation, even if the game has not many things more to offer in terms of gameplay compared to its predecessor, and feels a bit like a "1.5 version". Accept its rules and you will be pleased, for a long time.

Two years later, some dark clouds are still shrouding Sky : Children of the Light, from technological or ergonomic points of view. But these prove superficial ways to consider ThatGameCompany's work, since it affirms a unique experience towards universality, expressed through a poetic style, an empathic approach and above all shared emotions, even more powerful thanks to cross-play. This philosophy echoes with the harmoniously introduced story of The Little Prince, that highlights such freedom of investment or interpretation.

Death Stranding is, first of all, a game which, tries, experiments, and is full of ideas. Playing the role of the lonely Sam Porter Bridges, the player is connected with everyone else thanks to a clever system of collaboration, which works really well thanks to a thoughtful game design. But to enjoy the long run through what seems to be the most beautiful Iceland landscape, you will have to go through a thick, complex and most of all tedious story, which seems to never know when to stop, or being simply essential.

Okami Den is a true successor to Okami. Even though it's not as rich as the original was, it's taking full advantage of the DS and its touch screen. Pretty, well-paced, charming, funny, Okami Den is an adorable and well-crafted game.

Kero Blaster is a magnificent run and gun, colorful, well-designed, offering a great curve of progression. Even if it can be considered a bit short, it can be played again and again with the same pleasure and some personal challenges in mind.

Led by a neat gameplay, more weird but still appealing characters join the bizarre world of Skullgirls. A very good investment for all VS Fighting lovers.

It's rather clear: Fallout New Vegas is everything Fallout 3 should have been. Well, in terms of freedom and storyline that is, since from a technical side, it's as disappointing as ever. All we can do is pray and hope for their colleagues id Software to lend Bethesda a decent engine - Obsidian couldn't do miracles with what Bethesda's coders gave them, and sometimes it even ruins some nice gameplay ideas like their crafting system. But in the same manner everyone overlooked the flaws of Fallout 1 & 2 because their creators were storytelling geniuses, Obsidian's work on New Vegas is good enough to make us forget about all the lesser details - except maybe the overall lack of challenge.

The legend is still in there, but the remaster is so lazy.

Mortal Kombat 11 is a very beautiful and enjoyable fighting game, and has a lot to give. Fans of the franchise and newcomers will a find something very technical and deep, with a lovable campaign plenty of game modes and even some quite interesting tutorials. A serious contender in its genre for 2019.

Once again, it's in small touches by small touches that PES makes progress, enhancing some things (a more fluid gamaeplay, more identifiable signature moves from great players), and losing others in the process (the impractical training mode, faces that are less well-modeled than before). Another episode of transition before the the complete overhaul that may induce the use of a new engine for PES 2014, PES 2013 is a good soccer game and a nice enough PES, but one that, this year again, can't measure up to the competition, namely FIFA 13.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a good compilation with three excellent platform games from the first PlayStation. Redone from scratch, the game offers a nice new design with some technical flaws, and the gameplay feels a bit old, but it's still a good nostalgic trip for the whole family this Christmas.

Legend of Grimrock hits the nail on the head: the old-school alchemy of Dungeon Crawling works perfectly right from the start. The gameplay, atmosphere, and puzzle quality could even go beyond the simple nostalgia-induced pleasure, but it's still a niche product, so be advised.

Given its price, it's hard to criticize anything in Burn it All. But nonetheless, its drag and drop mechanic sometimes results in hiccups when the player has his finger on the screen, obfuscating the image, trying to move the flames with precision, and it doesn't offer the same precision and genius as Cut the Rope did. But beyond that, Burn it All is a great game with a very high challenge for completion-obsessed gamers, and for less than a dollar, it would be a crime not to play this very-well polished game.

VA-11 HALL-A is a very good visual novel, with strong themes, despite some problems due to its genre. If you like reading, VA-AA HALL-A is a must have.

DMC3 is still a very good Beat'em Up, and adds a cooperative mode to the Switch Version, but the remaster is very, very lazy.

Borderlands Legendary Collection is a good compilation of three very good games, but be aware that they need a lot of download before playing them.

Control is a true Remedy experience, with some nervous and satisfying action, fantastic story and narrative elements, and stimulating exploration... And that very weird touch that makes it unique. And very good.

In many ways, Little Nightmares 2 is better than the first installment of the series. Throughout the six hours needed to beat the game, the player finds himself embarked on a whirlwind of opposite emotions, both terrified and blown away by the atmosphere that emerges from the setting, magnified by clever camera work, and by the general pace of the game. In addition, we can count on a satisfying and non-frustrating conclusion this time.

South Park: The Stick of Truth is by far the best South Park game ever made and one of the funniest video games ever. Gamers who enjoy a good laugh owe it to themselves to play this game. And the fact the Switch allows players to take the game everywhere with them make things even better.

This fourth episode of Life is Strange 2 throws a lot of punches. And, again, as it is perfectly written and performed, it's a successful way to continue the story of Sean and Daniel, and wait for the end, coming in December.

More generous, unpredictable and flamboyant than ever, Super Mario Party Jamboree is an essential to liven up your evenings with friends or family. This eighteenth episode breaks away from some of its predecessors' dubious choices to focus on the essentials: effective mini-games and more than ever, Wild parts that gain a little bit in rhythm and content generous enough not to tire those who would only take it out on rare occasions. With a few game modes to top it off, some quite ingenious, others more gadgets, Super Mario Party Jamboree has the merit of varying the pleasures. It is certainly not a revolution, but it remains an excellent party-game that will cheer up without problem your evenings and offer you some laughter.

eFootball PES 2020 is faithful to what the two previous games have built. On the pitch, it all feels great, but in terms of content and variety, there's still a lot of work to do.

Death of the Outsider is a superb way of closing the parenthesis of the Dishonored saga. By giving the player new powers to play with, Arkane forces us to redefine the way we play the series. As usual, each level offers multiple possibilities, but this time the lethal of pacifist approach does not change the world we live in.
