Undoubtedly, Camelot has faithfully reproduced the GBA episodes' formula, and that includes its old-school narrative approach. With the exception of the brilliant transposition of this universe in 3D, the actual changes are not so numerous. Of course we can find some nice adjustments, but they fail to balance out a lack of personality. We still think all the qualities of a Golden Sun game are still there : a solid RPG with an excellent combat system, good puzzles, and of course an army of oh-so-useful Djinns to collect.

Despite the pixelation of the cartoonish cinematics, this trilogy still endures the test of time brilliantly on PS Vita, and thus stands as a wonderful way to discover Sly Cooper's tumultuous past.

With no doubt, Detroit: Become Human is the most advanced Quantic Dream experience. The story is more bending than ever, as your choices and actions really matter, and it's supported by great characters and acting. The narrative still has some flaws, but this is definitely a game every fan of the genre should play.

Keeping what's best in the saga, Mortal Kombat on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is a delicacy, both in terms of form and content. One can argue that its combat system is considerably less flexible and deep than those of its competitors, but is still offers some subtlety, and dynamic combats that are very fun to play. Combining humor, a kitch universe and packed with loads of content to unlock, the Netherealm studio title joins the fighting games pantheon, but in its own style, without playing in the same arena as one Street Fighter IV, Blazblue or King of Fighters.

With Final Fantasy XIV : A Realm Reborn, Yoshida and his team have won their bet, and offer a radically different game than Final Fantasy XIV Online. The game has some very interesting systems, starting with the evolution of your characters and Jobs. Moreover, it is a very accessible game that you can enjoy easily and quickly. A great alternative to games like World of Warcraft, with a Japanese feel that should delight the fans of the series. This time Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn deserves to be successful. As for this PS4 version, it simply delivers what we already saw on PC, with two new cool options: remote play on PS Vita and Share functionality.

This MK port is really well done. Even though characters and backgrounds have slightly less impressive visuals than on the original, the inclusion of all the DLCs, and of new mini-games taking advantage of the specs of the Vita is most welcome. If you like the universe and gameplay of MK, then there's no reason not to go for it on the Vita.

They say the end justifies the means. With Avadon : The Black Fortress, Spiderweb offers a large choice of both. It falls upon you to get through it.

Battlefield 1 is gorgeous and impressive in all domains, and for once in the series, the singleplayer campaign lives up to the multiplayer mode. Except some problems on PS4/Xbox One (framerate issues and minor bugs), the main problem here is the inexplicable absence of the French and Russian armies.

As expected, on PS4 The Messenger is stil. a very good action platformer that manages to deliver love of the 8/16bits eras and doesn't forget to put some fresh and very clever ideas in the mix.

It seems like Far Cry 5 tries hard to be different in some ways. But in the end, it is obvious it doesn't want to - it can't - step too far from its predecessors. There's a feeling that even though its world is new, appealing, offers some good tweaks, a magnificent set of allies and villains, and a potentially unlimited content in Arcade mode, we still have the same game flawed with the same A.I. problems, we still complete the same kind of missions and see the same animations. As we sure can have fun and witness a fantastic ending, this can be forgiven. Until next time.

With local or online play, and StreetPass features, the multiplayer side of Mario Tennis Open rivals, at last, the one of the home console versions. Sure, the usual RPG side we had on the portable versions didn't make the cut, thus diminishing the quality of the solo mode to some extent, but the AI quality and the collection side make up for it. With accessible yet deep gameplay, Mario Tennis will appeal to all Tennis fans.

To celebrate its late 30th birthday, the Blue Bomber comes back with a strong 11th episode which finally takes some risks. The brand new Double Gear System breezes a fresh wind on the still satisfying classic mechanics of the series. With twisted boss fights and four very well-though difficulty modes, only the very meh soundtracks might deter you from calling back this old pal.

11-11: Memories Retold chooses to tell the story on the ground, through the eyes of simple human beings embedded in a conflict so much bigger than them. French studio DigixArt delivers a memorable adventure, served by a remarkable and right writing and acting, superb impressionist visuals from Aardman Animations,and one of the best soundtrack of the year. Too bad that its core gameplay really lacks of challenge and that there's still some persistent bugs. But there could be no better way to celebrate peace in 2018.

At first sight, Gran Turismo 6 looks like an updated version of its predecessor. But as soon as you take the wheel, this episode drives you to a whole new world of racing sensations.

Lords of Shadow 2 didn't succeed in outrivaling the first episode. But it is indeed a great game, beautiful and interesting, with some flaws (mostly the stealth sequences) that can be annoying at times, but never prevent the player from a desire to run to the end of the story and explore this pleasant open world.

The Dark Pictures - Man of Medan applies the Until Dawn recipe to a smaller and cheaper game, with cooperative features, and the results are very good.

Like its PS5 Pro version, FF7 Rebirth PC allows you to combine Performance and Fidelity, and does so overall better than its console counterpart, at all levels. We can, however, regret the absence of AMD's FSR, Ray Tracing effects or Frame Generation, at least at its launch, as well as some small visual hiccups. The fact that the game is Steam Deck Verified is on the other hand a huge plus. If the compromises of the original PS5 put you off or if you were waiting for it to come out on PC to enjoy it in the best possible conditions, the latest game in Square Enix's flagship franchise is overall clearly worth the investment.

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

A great DLC that reestablishes the balance between action, platforming and puzzles. Even if the scenario is not really surprising, Alucard is classy and we wish we could have some more time with him in the castle. Maybe next time.

Forgotton Anne is a great storytelling game, even if the gameplay lacks some challenge.

Redeemer offers a very satisfying mix of good old top-down shooters and modern video games.

It feels so good to see that in between the all-narrative, all-simulation or all-blockbuster experiences, alternate paths like Mizuguchi's Child of Eden, supported by a big name like Ubisoft, still exist. It's something that, much like Rez before, we'd recommend playing with a controller for the vibrations that intensify the thrill of the music and images, even though it works well with Kinect. The only downside is that it really short, even though its intensity makes up for it.

KOF XIII on PC is the best version of the game. All the DLC are included and the net code has been deeply improved. The real 2D versus games lovers will love it.

Released long after the successive reissues of the other two Final Fantasy of the PlayStation, Final Fantasy VIII Remastered does not suffer from the defects found in these different versions (loop music, mobile interface of bad taste ...) and therefore legitimately bears his name. Nothing extraordinary compared to the original game, no additional content offered to fans for example, but a new quality varnish that enhances the original experience and allows you to dive in the best way possible.

If you like those old action movies and run & gun games, then Broforce has to be downloaded on you Steam library. Right now, bro.

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.

Assassin's Creed Pirates is surprisingly addictive, with its cool battles and all its side-missions that let you upgrade your ship.

It's hard not to rant about Demon's Souls, while trying to figure out how it really works. Hard to put up with its intense difficulty, which can make you turn off the console and kill your desire to come back to the game for quite a while. Hard not to curse its incredibly unforgiving death penalties, its try-again-from-the-start philosophy, and punishing systems. But if you do, the gameplay finesse, subtle exploration vibe, well-thought customization system, and fulfilling power grinding proposed by its dark and enticing world are reason enough to dive back in and try to master the game. The online gameplay is brilliant and fresh, and all in all, if you can put up with the first few punishing hours and figure out how to work the game correctly, its multiple endings, old school vibe and memorable boss battles will reward you with this beloved feeling of being a real achiever. Thank you From Software, for this gift to hardcore gamers.
