Banishers Ghosts of New Eden is a game that delivers a compelling love story that makes us want to see it reach its conclusion. The problem is that most of the other elements of the game take a backseat to the relationship between Antea and Red. Almost all of the secondary characters are not interesting and the main plot is forgotten in an anthology of problems to solve for the inhabitants of New Eden. This is not helped by a semi-open world whose exploration quickly proves boring. Fortunately, the fights are already proving more gripping, just like the famous Haunting Cases. You feel like a paranormal investigator, who must also make serious decisions that will have real consequences. We ultimately see that it is a game which has lots of good ideas, but which did not know how to execute them all in the right way.

When Date Everything was announced, it was hard to know what to expect exactly. In conclusion, Sassy Chap has created a wild, but sincere dating sim that manages to be both funny and moving at the same time. Behind its unusual concept lies a gallery of carefully crafted characters, all of whom deserve to be known. A few concessions to aesthetics and even narrative are to be regretted, with the initial plot ultimately unfinished. Similarly, while the roster shines in terms of variety and inclusiveness, the sheer number of characters makes it hard to keep up. Despite this, fans of visual novels should appreciate this fresh approach served up by a well-known cast. It's just a pity it hasn't been translated into French.

With such a powerful gameplay, a plentiful of heroes and a delightful drop of derision, it's hard to imagine a more wonderful successor to Viewtiful Joe.

After such a long time away from the green, Mario's clubs could have been rusty. At first indeed, it seems this comeback only relies on the same proven physics engine and subtle gameplay. The swing technique didn't change at all, even with the alternative method intuitively based on touch. But rather than pursuing realism, Mario Golf : World Tour expresses its arcadish approach in an audacious way, through a cartoonish world filled with interactive elements from the Mushroom Kingdom and the addition of power-ups. This arsenal is ingeniously exploited by the courses design, driving golf to a new dimension liberated from the laws of gravity. An amazing and joyful interpretation of this sport that can finally be shared easily with friends or competitors online. Who would have thought that golf was so friendly ?

NHL 16 can be grateful to have such a faithful community who help to improve the quality of the gameplay. The game is more complete this year with the LHESA mode.

Rock Band 4 doesn't changing much compared to the previous episodes, it adds the freestyle feature, which is really nice, but it doesn't put a lot of new ideas in its old formula... Thus said, it's still a fantastic rhythm game to play, alone and of course with friends, to get the complete band. The gameplay is nearly perfect and, above all, the game is compatible with your old instruments and all 1700 past DLC songs.

It's always a nice feeling to wander across the vast plains and the ominous dungeons of Gransys during a large amount of hours, for the first time on a portable device here. Sadly, the low visuals and the technical issues of the handheld mode are kind of a bummer, the TV experience being as enjoyable as the previous editions of the game.

Killzone Mercenary is the game PSVita expected. Visually stunning, it also offers an excellent gameplay, a good single player campaign and an interesting multiplayer mode. One of the best games on the Sony handheld console.

Wario Ware Gold feels like the very best of the series to this day: with a few new mini-games and many old ones, this episode cannot hide the feeling of redundancy. But with its 300 microgames, many crazy modes and a ton of WTF gadgets, every player can now experience the craziness of Wario Ware. Too bad the hardcore crew already knows most of its content.

By looking towards the western designs, while keeping the Japanese strong points, Dragon's Dogma will make a significant contribution to the ARPG genre. Its open world, beautiful mythic creatures and chara-design, and probably the best and most spectacular combat action of the genre, it draws players into its world, even though it's far from perfect. Indeed, the story fails to drive the player forward, and the world lacks life and soul, but the ton of good little ideas, the pawn system, and the overall ambition of the title make it fun nonetheless. Enjoying it also allows us to dream of a bright future for the Japanese creators who gave birth to this unusual game for their culture.

More beautiful, immersive, those two games will allow players to discover both human and exciting adventures. For those who already know the two titles, it's a pleasure to rediscover the flagship titles of David Cage, including Heavy Rain in this new version. Unforgettable.

RIGS is a great surprise in the PSVR launch line-up. It offers an intense gameplay, tactical battles, and an interesting learning curve.

Dying Light Platinum Edition on Switch is an impressive port of a - still - very good game. Going back or for the first time to Harran on the Nintendo console is relevant as it offers the same fun of open world-survival-parkour action with only a few issues - juste forget about playing on you TV. It's smooth, doesn't load so much and, as it is the complete version of the Techland game, offers tons of content to players in need of zombies and a bit of horror.

Resident Evil: Revelations gets an enjoyable Switch port from Capcom. The motion controls remind us of Resident Evil 4 on the Wii and the game runs well in both portable and docked modes.

ROOT Letter is an excellent visual novel with a solid story, a realistic universe and surprising gameplay mechanics. A must have if you are a visual novel fan, and even if you're not.

Back in good shape last year, PES now confirms that it is a very good football simulation again. Of course, there is still some flaws here, but we will above all retain its increased AI, its improved and fluid gameplay, its new modes... and the challenges of the training mode appear to be a really nice touch.

A really good port of the PS360 versions, with fluid animation both on screen and on the GamePad, that will undoubtedly help those who'd have loved a Mario Kart at launch.

Sonic Colours is the best 3D Sonic since the Adventure iterations on the Dreamcast. Beautiful, nicely cinematic and with spectacular gameplay and level design, Sonic Colours is a big step in the right direction for the blue hedgehog. The Sonic Team was able to draw inspiration from the latest plumber's adventures from Nintendo to give new momentum to their character, and it's both a satisfaction and a relief to play with him again in such a satisfying way.

This "Late[st]" version of Under Night In-Birth EXE adds some stuff to a very cool and technical fighting game that every fan of the genre should try.

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.

Tropico 6 is an interesting but unambitious sequel. The game is pleasant but lacks of new features. It is still a funny experience with an atmosphere that makes you want to go on holiday and enjoy a cocktail in the sun.

Trying to fill the expectations of the fans, Duodecim charms and offers even more features than the previous one. Some new things aren't that exceptional, though, and overall, we'd have hoped for more impactful innovations, but in the end, it's still a refreshing combat game, without any challenger in its style of play, gathering all the star characters of Final Fantasy in a visually stunning sequel.

Disney Infinity 3.0 offers a better Toy Box, featuring more possibilities that are also more understandable and easier to use. And the Star Wars adventure included in the starter pack is really surprising by its qualities. Easily the best episode so far.

A pretty decent PS4 version.

FF7 Crisis Core Reunion is a remaster like no others. The graphical improvements and the more nervous, dynamic and fluid combat system work wonders. However, the game keeps all the weaknesses of the time and all them are unchanged. A respectful which would have deserved to be completely overhauled as the stigma of the PSP era can be painful to see and play. FF7 Crisis Core Reunion is neither more nor less than an old school game with an angelic face that stills has some charm.

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.

Little Nightmares is visually stunning, but it does not really come up with very interesting puzzles, and it ends a little quickly, leaving us a bit hungry.

GRID 2 offers an excellent feeling of speed within all its furious races. It is visually stunning, the gameplay is both accessible and subtle, the career and multiplayer modes are long and interesting... In short, despite the lack of cockpit view and tuning options, what we have here is a great racing game, with an almost perfect arcade/simulation compromise.
