    Even though one could argue that Namco played the recycling card for most of the content of this new Ridge Racer and probably didn't push the hardware that much in terms of visuals, the game remains fun to play and true to its promise. With its 100% arcade gameplay, a steady and fast frame rate, and the 3D effect that really pushes the immersion further, and a lot of content, those who like the series can't miss this iteration, even though it remains a little repetitive in the long run.

    Somewhere between Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Shadow of the Colossus and Journey, The Pathless is a beautiful and very pleasant experience, that feels very clever, smooth and relaxing. If you feel the need to travel somewhere else in this complicated time, just give a chance to this game.

    Pix the Cat looks looks like a familiar animal born of the arcade room, but this kitten is trickier to domesticate than expected, its wild gameplay being revealed through the neat modes cooked by Pastagames.

    Addressed to both new players and longtime fans, NieR Replicant succeeds in transcending the NieR experience, thanks to its enhanced (yet imperfect) visuals, its full re-recorded soundtrack and voice-acting and its new gameplay mechanics to make it feel more like NieR Automata. For sure, the addition of new scenes, such as the Mermaid episode and an all-new ending, represent a powerful argument to those who are already familiar with the original game.

    If 2012 wasn't necessarily an unforgettable year in terms of releases for smartphones and tablets, 2013 starts very well with Year Walk. This enticing journey into Swedish myths and legends offers stunning visuals and sound, with puzzles, riddles, exploration and secrets to discover. It's a little short, but comes with a bonus free app explaining what the original legends and characters from Swedish folklore are. Definitely a fresh experience on iOS.

    With this new title, Frozenbyte has chosen to leave aside the semi-disappointing 3D experimentation of the previous part to focus on the 2.5D action / reflection formula that made its success. We find what makes the series so charming, with its enchanting universe, its trio of heroes with complementary capabilities and the opportunity to live this adventure up to four, locally or online. If the regulars of the series will grumble perhaps a little considering the few important innovations proposed by this new episode, Trine 4 remains an independent game very pleasant by his concept, his aspect, his lightness.

    Even though WWE 2K19 doesn't offer the graphical overhaul the franchise so desperately deserves, it takes quite a few steps in the right direction. Its new modes are fun, the Showcase mode makes a triumphant return and its new features are well thought out. WWE 2K19 clearly gives WWE fans something to have a good time with.

    On top of providing more investigation perspectives, elevation gives more freedom to explore the world. That's why an airship helps Professor Layton refining his methods, while Level-5 improves the narrative through this less linear and more deeply moving journey. Thus, the Azran Legacy stands as an accomplished conclusion, not only for the trilogy, but for the series as whole, now ready to venture into new horizons.

    Not a Hero is a truly enjoyable run and gun, easy to understand, with some great ideas and challenging levels to play with all the lovely playable characters. It has a fantastic personality and even if it lacks of leaderboards and some more levels, it can still be played again with satisfaction.

    Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is a great homage to the Donkey Kong Country series, mixing its 2D mechanics with a 3D worl map to explore. The last level is always accessible to try out, but the collectibles you will find along your journey gives the game a tiny feels of an RPG. With so many secrets to fond across both the levels and the environment, there are plenty interesting things to look out in PlayTonic's second game.

    Press X to pay your respect to one of the greatest, if not the best, rhythm games on PS4. The DJ Max series is back with more than 140 tunes to rock your living room. The only thing that can be bothering is the use of analog sticks during a few tracks, but who cares when you are having such a blast 99% of the time? If you like (very) good rhythm game and music, this one is a must-have.

    Rise of the Tomb Raider will not be as memorable as the first reboot because it's doing quite the same things without taking risks, but it's still a really great game. The PC version is very good and Crystal Dynamics did a good job.

    Intense, brutal, scary and intransigent, Devil Daggers will be madly loved and quietly hated. Because what it offers is clearly addressed to a kind of player who can feel Heaven in a Hellish FPS. Probably one of the most punitive games of all time.

    A solid remasterisation of a classic platformer that remains fully enjoyable, both visually and in terms of gameplay, in this new edition.

    UFC Undisputed 2010 is far more than a big update, despite its little flaws (most notably its disappointing online mode). The game is incredibly comprehensive, much more fluid and well animated than the previous one, and will undoubtedly please MMA fans. Granted, the gameplay may not be a revolutionary one, but it is substantial enough, and quite technical (maybe too much, some might say), to last you weeks and even months. If you thought the 2009 version was efficient enough, simply think about the 100 fighters of this 2010 one, and you will probably fall for it.

    Saints Row revises its structure and reduces its sandbox angle in favor of a more coherent and polished world and gameplay experience. The campaign missions are packed with fun, surprises, and new stuff, and worthy of praise on their own. Even though one will feel a little less free and overwhelmed with stuff to do than with the previous episode, the trade-off is worthwhile.

    Judge Eyes / Judgement is a very nice gift from the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. Even though it may feel at first like it is only a skin based on previous Yakuza games, it feels fresh enough and brings in brand new ideas that make for a great gaming experience. We would have simply liked that its characters spent less time talking and more time kicking asses, this is where they truly shine.

    Closer to Dark Souls than to Zelda, this magnificent 2D game feels lot more challenging and mysterious than expected. But Hyper Light Drifter is definitely rewarding for players who will be eager to find all its secrets.

    It might be hard to master all the intricacies of game such as Guilty Gear, but its arrival on the Wii is a blessing. Comprehensive, well executed, as deep as ever, all the while remaining accessible to an extent, for newbies. Now, be aware that you must have a classic controller to enjoy this classic japanese fighter.

    Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle offers two great games, with 60 FPS, but no graphic improvements, neither new stuff.

    Woolly World didn't shrink on 3DS, it gained volume thanks to sweet stop-motion playlets, downy three-dimensional effects, an even softer gameplay carried by the Poochy Pups, along with hectic dashes and self woven jumpers. Despite the cooperative's cut, Good-Feel undoubtedly expressed some warming fiber art through the port of this fluffy adventure.

    Iconoclasts is a gorgeous pixel art metroidvania with some great ideas. Action, platform and puzzles are fun. And the narrative and characters are really compelling. A total success.

    Highly acclaimed when it came out in early 2011, Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology is definitely one of a kind. Its full-narrative structure, the well-developed background, the intuitive combat system and the welcome additions of this 3DS version make it a game every JRPG fan should own.

    EA changes its Sims franchise for the better: placed in a consistent universe, with a common goal, each hero of Sims Medieval finds itself in a right and logical spot (which was rarely the case with previous Sims titles). In the end, the Kingdom itself is the main character of the game, and even though the gameplay seems a little repetitive, the middle-ages charm, with a twist of humor and a lot to discover, works well.

    This new version of Dragon's Crown is a superb way to discover another Vanillaware gem, a great fantasy beat them all with some great arts - to enjoy in 4K if you own a PS4 Pro - and with up to 4 players. There are not many new things compared to the PS3 and PS Vita versions, but newcomers should really go for it.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake is a deep, dense and strong invitation to rediscover an all-time classic, thanks to a new three dimensional approach of the vast city of Midgar. The game fills up so many gap, deepens the plot, and sometimes takes way too much time to take us from point A to point B. But thanks to a strong and evolving combat system, new looks of iconic characters and a brilliant work of reorchestration of Uemtasu's score. If only it could have gone just a little further.

    Like an orchestral (Platinum) score, The Wonderful 101 requires some deciphering first and many repetitions - as this slightly Remastered rendition show - to be assimilated. Only then, pleasure kicks in, while revealing its grandeur. Such jubilation leads to forgive, if not forget all the rambling through this delirious, overactive and genuinely unique work of Hideki Kamiya, still destined for the rare "happy viewtiful".

    Tomb Raider can't die! After years of erring ways, Lara succeeded in restoring its dignity thanks to the efforts of Crystal Dynamics. Of course, fans will be delighted to find in a single, low-price release the great episodes Anniversary and Underworld (Legend being a little behind), it's first and foremost to all adventure lovers that this trilogy will be appealing, with its substantial life (you can count more than 40 hours of gameplay in there). Lara succeeded in correcting its own shortcomings, and if the fans may disregard this compilation, maybe it's time for the others, those who broke up with Lara years ago, to try and spark their love anew... while we wait for a real reboot.

    Helldivers 2 is one the best co-op games ever made. It's a full packed-action title with huge references to Starship Troopers and Terminator that will resonate among fans. A full sequel with far greater ambitions and a sense of destruction like Battlefield series. Don't hesitate, buy it on PS5 or PC.
