    Beyond is both better and worse than its illustrious predecessor Heavy Rain. It features more varied gameplay, a better story, talented Hollywood actors and outstanding graphics... but it also lacks something: the ability to make truly decisive choices throughout the adventure. Significant changes you can make story-wise are actually concentrated at the end. However, games of this type and this quality are still too rare to deny yourself the pleasure.

    Except the Exo Zombies mode that can keep you busy for a few hours, the other additions of Havoc (4 new maps and the AE4 assault rifle) are not refreshing enough to make this DLC essential.

    The Surge is a good action-RPG and a real Dark Souls-like, so the game is clearly not open for everyone. It offers interesting systems, but we still regret a lack of diversity in everything (weapons, enemies, environments...).

    A Puzzle game that will make you genuinely laugh if you play it with some friends on a couch or online. Some great ideas make Tricky Towers one of the good surprises of the genre.

    Serious Sam comes back to get rid of waves of ever-stronger ennemies. Something it doesn't quite do at the beginning, though, but the action starts to ramp up later on. Of course, SS BFE isn't the top of the crop technically, but it's the only FPS of the lot offering this type of gameplay... it will undoubtedly find its fans (if the price drops a little).

    Zombie Army 4: Dead War is an enjoyable and generous spin-off, with a delicious Grindhouse flavour that makes killing zombies quite fun, especially in cooperation, even if it can sounds a bit redundant and feels dated visually and in terms of A.I.

    Final Fantasy Type-0 HD offers quite a good experience, and it features a great combat system, rich gameplay and a true sense of variety in its quests. But it's still a PSP port, and technically it's impossible to pretend we don't see it. Type-0 still deserves your interest, even moreso when you know that it's packed with the first playable demo of FFXV.

    DC Universe Online sales were good and well deserved. The work on the PvP side of the game is interesting, and gives it a hardcore flavor that is both nice and unexpected for a first PS3 MMO. More comfortable on the PC, DCUO has the content it needs for the casual gamer, the group of friends, or the large guild with the PGM attitude. Now, SOE only has to correct some shortcomings and give us more clues about future content! Sure it's only just come out, but, go go, back to work!

    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".

    As usual very forgiving with the player, Just Dance 2014 is the perfect game to dance all night long with friends, on recent songs (Get Lucky, Pound The Alarm...) and other less recent (Maria from Ricky Martin, Nena , etc.). It is lively, the choreographies are very nice and the new modes are welcome. And with "Just Dance TV", you can save and share your "best" performances.

    Monster Energy Supercross 2 is a good sequel. It greatly enhances the career mode and gives it a lot more dynamism. Driving sensations are also on a good path with better feelings and good technicality, despite an arcade side revealed by some collisions issues. Pretty, fun, and easy to access despite greater depth, Milestone's production has been able to capitalize positively on bases that had good potential. It still has to tweak his multiplayer mode to keep the distance. See you in 2020 for a must-have?

    Baldur's Gate I & II Enhanced Edition is nothing more than a port of the remasters previously released on PC, clustered in one single cartridge for the Switch. The content is massive, as all the expansions are part of it, but the series deserved a little facelift.

    Brushes with Death, the first major DLC for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, unfortunately clearly falls short compared to the base game. While its plot offers some good moments and bears the hallmarks of quality writing from Warhorse Studios, it largely fails to effectively engage the player. With its tedious medieval fetch quests, a narrative entirely centered on an otherwise perfectly secondary character, an underwhelming new exclusive mechanic, and disappointing rewards, this is a picture that we believe will have a hard time selling, despite a rather reasonable price.

    Bugsnax could have been a silly and divisive game from Octodad's creators. But in the end, underneath its weirdness, it is a tasty experience of hunting, collecting and puzzles with some great writing ans characters, that can entertain everyone for a few hours.

    It's somewhat courageous to attempt the episodic adventure game when you're not TellTale, but that's what Skygoblin opted for. And their game is actually nice, if you like the character design and don't mind its point & click gameplay being rather old school, and the character movements so slow-paced and shortcut-lacking. The background and tone of the game are both quite nice.

    The gameplay of Aarklash Legacy, between Baldur's Gate and Demon's Soul, is a little bit repetitive, but it is very good. The universe, characters and graphics are also interesting. But the game is really aimed at hardcore gamers, who are not afraid of "Game Over" screens.

    With this fantastic themed thriller, Phoenix Online Studio manages to capture the attention of the player, despite serious shortcomings in terms of production values. The Erica Reed character is compelling, and one may be hooked by this first episode.

    Team Sonic Racing gives players a whole new take on the "Kart Racer" genre thanks to its team gameplay mechanic. It works and it allows less skilled players to enjoy competing against other human players. It's just too bad that SUMO got rid of the transformations and the SEGA All-Stars.

    The promise of playing a Templar is the only new appeal of Assassin's Creed Rogue. Everything else was already shown and done last year with Black Flag. The experience is solid but still disappointing.

    Apart from unnecessary narrative and simultaneous action-oriented stray deviations, Semispheres deploys its half stealthy / half puzzling mechanics to their full extent, more easily experienced with a second player thanks to the Joy-Con.

    Remake of a 10 years old game, mixing shoot them up and fighting games, Senko No Ronde 2 provides a lot of fun despite some online issues.

    Sloclap has undeniably conquered new territory with Rematch. In fact, the studio has pulled off a remarkable feat in renewing an ultra-codified genre to create a much freer, more tactical and technical experience that is truly exhilarating. Soccer is frenetically redesigned in a highly addictive arcade style. The game's entry is therefore a success, but it will take exemplary endurance over the long term for the formula to continue to be effective. If the promises of additional content live up to expectations, we could well be looking at one of the new kings of football.

    After setting up the bases of their sci-fi thriller, Phoenix Online delivers a second episode that is shorter, but much more intense and well-paced. It's a better episode, even though the production values haven't improved - a shortcoming that prevents it from truly shining.

    Intercept is a fun 4 players coop mode, but the price seems a bit high for only 4 maps.

    Need for Speed Heat is a full open world racing game. It does just about everything the competition offers, but without thinking outside the box. Less generalist than Gran Turismo or Forza Horizon, which he comes closest, he is far from equal. However, it offers a good alternative to change the mood. Racing games in open world are no longer jostling at the gate anyway.

    Traffic Jams is a virtual reality game available on PC, Oculus Quest and PlayStation VR. In the shoes of a traffic cop in training, the player that we are must strive to pace the passage of pedestrians and vehicles, gesturing with joysticks, in the middle of five intersections in five cities (Gouda , Paris, Amsterdam, New York and Tokyo). Each town has three levels with various variations and distractions, including zombies attacking at night, wasps, and a few fun surprises. With increasing difficulty, the strategy is to get a good score and complete the various main and secondary objectives, without causing (too many) traffic accidents. Without being exceptional, Traffic Jams is a fun little game that is played mostly in short sessions and that can also be played together locally, with four players with their smartphones.

    Very good-looking and enjoyable with is nervous, but easy to understand, gameplay, Matterfall feels great but doesn't offer so much to do and ends too quickly. But if you're a scoring addict, it's definitely for you.

    Greedfall is not an RPG that is intended to play the leading roles of the genre. Limited as well by its technique, its fights and its relatively remote progression, although intriguing and therefore fascinating, the title still has a beautiful soul, shaped by its universe, its artistic direction, its writing, its themes, its music . So many attractive arguments that counterbalance its weaknesses, making Greedfall a game that can not be recommended to the greatest number but deserves attention to at least judge the effect of its charms.

    If the Inazuma Eleven formula may have to change a little bit more in the next episodes, Inazuma Eleven 3 is still the best of the series, and it is definitely a must on the 3DS.

    This second part of Broken Sword 5 is quite better in its atmosphere, but it still suffers the same issues, and the ending is a bit disappointing. That's still a nice point n' click though, and now the story is complete.
