    With Shadow of the Tomb Raider, we get one of the best episodes of the whole franchise. It doesn't intend to revolutionize the formula the reboot put in place in 2013, but it has a quite interesting story and a dashing setting, offers a well balanced experience, and has a huge amount of challenges that will surely please plenty of virtual explorers.

    Despite its outdated campaign structure and many camera issues, Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition still does the job. Thanks to a stylish casting and an awesome combat system.

    Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for Nintendo Switch is a totally serviceable port of the original game released on PS4/Xbox One/PC. Even if the game's visuals take a hit on Nintendo's console, the fact that you can now take Xenoverse 2 everywhere with you is a big plus. If you have the Switch, like Dragon Ball Z and missed Xenoverse 2's original release, you could do a lot worse than to give the game a shot.

    The blurriness displayed on the unexploited touchscreen in handheld mode shows that this Switch version is only a straightforward port. But such slight technical issues don't hinder the interest of this point and click adventure focused on the narrative through puzzles cleverly integrated, hence Silence definitely shouldn't stay quiet.

    Five years after the critically acclaimed The Climb, it's finally time to go back on a rock-climbing game. Exclusive to Oculus Quest, The Climb 2 doesn't try to get to new heights as it offers only one new environment and it feels like it's kind of limited technically speaking. Still very enjoyable if you didn't play the first one.

    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.

    Banned Footage Vol 1 is quite a good DLC. On the 3 new modes, The Bedroom is really excellent, and the two others offers more action and replayability.

    Simple and almost trivial at first sight, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit lets the player be amazed by being so accurate. Life is Strange 2's introduction chapter gives us a glimpse of one little boy's boring Saturday morning being transformed into a space odyssey thanks to the power of imagination. Neither surprising nor challenging, the game will still easily deserves another playthrough for those whom want to witness every situation it has to offer. Too bad Captain Spirit lacks delicacy in so many ways.

    The Surge 2 is a very good Souls-like. The level design has really improved after the first episode, and the gameplay key features will procure good sensations to players addicted to challenges.

    If Mario Kart Live Home Circuit plays well and feels fresh it also has some awkward limitations. First, the connection between the kart and your Switch is too short. Then, if you live in a small flat, it's complicated. Finally, if you plan to play with other people, you have to buy another complete set, as there are no individual karts for sale.

    The PC version of Watch Dogs 2 is a very good one, Ubisoft did a good job this time. We can see many superb effects from The Division and it runs perfectly.

    Killing Floor 2 is doing what the first episode did, but much better. Better graphics, better perks, better game mechanics... It's the best survival FPS around.

    Garden Warfare is a very nice addition to the Plants Vs Zombies saga. The game is fun to play and it's technically well executed. Too bad there's not more content.

    Reus might be seen as a god-game if you consider accounting management specialists are gods. Pretty, poetic, green, even slightly educative, Reus hides a super complex puzzle game behind its planetary beauty. You'll try to help humans to grow civilizations, but as one learns from real life, they will most certainly bring chaos in all your planing ; and this is what's the game is all about.

    Despite some original minigames and clever boss battles, the story mode falls short, since it strictly serves to teach the new gameplay mechanics. Mario Tennis Aces introduces "zone" tricks that prove both spectacular and powerful, offensively as well as defensively, thus creating a singular, radical timing approach to tennis, yet rather adequate for such competitive ambitions online. However, more risks should have been taken, particularly through the evolution of the double tap system in order to play closer to the lines, and increase the errors potential, which would add not only consistency, but also authenticity. Therefore this episode reaffirms the series' legendary accessibility underlined by the discrete motion mode à la Wii Sports, a classical ace of conviviality on the whole from Camelot.

    A PlayStation 2 success coming to the 3DS, Tales of the Abyss is a modest but polished adventure. A riche heir, a quest, and all of a sudden, the truth. A "lost in time" episode that comes back from 2006, with dated 3D graphics, without the in-your-face attitude from today, nor an open-world extravaganza with weird looking characters ; only to tell a good story that already proved itself as such. It's a classic, smooth, JRPG experience for 2011.

    While many expected recycling, Intelligent Systems has yet managed to get all his imagination to create the first Paper Mario on a handheld console. Sticker Star is a fabulous ambassador for stereoscopic 3D, as its paper universe is the ideal material to illustrate the aesthetic qualities of this technology. The scenario and fights are excellent too.

    We. The Revolution propose a very good concept with a very immersive atmosphere. The choice of the french Revolution is brilliant, unfortunately some mechanics like tactical phases don't feel relevant at all.

    Dream Drop Distance favored new but underwhelming elements to the simplicity and multiple point of views of Birth by Sleep, and the result is somewhat annoying. Even though it remains the best episode to date on a Nintendo platform, Dream Drop Distance suffers from its forced alternance between its two main characters. On the bright side, the combat is fare more dynamic and enjoyable, and the worlds to explore absolutely gorgeous for a 3DS game.

    Despites a table multiplayer mode, the graphics of this Switch version nare neither convincing neither on TV nor on portable mode. If you have a PS4 or a Xbox, you know what to do.

    Despite the technical downgrade compared with the other versions, Observer is still an extraordinary game with a magnificent cyberpunk atmosphere and some visual effects that would certainly please David Lynch.

    New World Aeternum is an interesting update that brings a host of new features for new and old players alike. There's a lot on the menu for leveling up, some welcome tweaks to a number of outdated areas, and some interesting new end-game content. The new PvP mode, which is more or less the same as mining, works extremely well, while the new (and first) 10-player raid will give you a run for your money. As far as the console port is concerned, on the controller, New World comes through with flying colors. Apart from a few hiccups in the menus and some odd mapping for certain actions, it's very pleasant and instinctive to hold. It's only visually, however, that the console version falls short. The various graphic modes on offer aren't particularly convincing, and the game relies far too heavily on its artistic direction to make up for its technical glitches. In this respect, we sincerely hope that patches will come along to correct the situation. For the rest, New World Aeternum on PS5 is a good pick in its genre.

    Disney Infinity is a Skylanders-like which adds a nice extra creative dimension through the "Toy Box". Unfortunately, we have to spend a lot of time in a not so exciting adventure mode to fill this toy box with interesting things... and of course buy a lot of figures and Power Discs in a real toy store!

    Hohokum can be considered as a video game or interactive art, depending on the way we see the experience of playing. But developing such an experimental approach surely requires genuine creativity, that is expressed with an elegant and misleading simplicity through this singular journey.

    Shadow of War offers probably one of the most interesting open world systems. Very deep and intelligent, it's a true living world around us and the nemesis system is still brilliant. Sadly we still have some issues from the first game, like muddled combats and crazy difficulty at certain moments. Also, a fan of Tolkien can find plenty of mistakes in the game.

    Sega Genesis Classics is without a doubt the best homage the old 16-bit Sega console could receive. With 50 games, which features solid gold trilogies, only the retrogaming haters may miss this very best-of, lacking the expired license-based titles. The new interface offers countless options to prevent us from frustration, and the four saves slots for each game could take you back to the past for more than a few hours.

    The Golf Club 2019 is a very good golf game, which shines in particular by its game system that is both realistic and rewarding. It does not hustle the codes, but offers an infinite renewal, thanks to its system of procedural generation in addition to the official courses of the PGA Tour. The loading times also benefit from a particular optimization and are non-existent during play, which favors concentration.

    No, MGS5 Ground Zeroes is not 2 hours long. And yes, that would be a shame to just talk about the length of its main mission. Technically and artistically stunning, it offers an excellent stealth game experience and a story that all the fans will love... We can't wait for Phantom Pain now.
