Crossboard 7 is a fair game as a Kinect launch title, but most will probably forget about it quite quickly. The overall design is clearly targeted at younger gamers, which makes it much less appealing for older ones, but its movement recognition and simple challenges make it a nice (and physical) entertainment to occupy rainy Wednesdays.

Eight years after its original release, Project Zero 2 still remains a very good survival horror game, far from Resident Evil's shotguns and blessed with a deliciously terrifying atmosphere akin to the best japanese horror movies. Very good storyline, wonderful sound design, and with refreshed visuals, the game could have been a super hit if it wasn't deeply flawed in terms of the control scheme chosent for the Wiimote/Nunchuk couple, which isn't far from being a complete mess.

Undoubtedly better than Resident Evil 5, this sixth episode of one of the greatest series will have trouble uniting people around its proposal. That was the case in 2012 on PS3/360, and it's still the same now in 2016 with this PS4/Xbox One edition.

Kinect Star Wars is full of shortcomings. Its playability is approximative at best, its very permissive difficulty, and average production values, despite a nice artistic direction. But despite all that, some mini-games are really fun, like the podracing, the Rancor full-on destruction sequences, or the dancing with Vader. It's a family game, no doubt, and a nicely marketed one, that will probably please its core target. But if you're a demanding Star Wars fan and core gamer, there's nothing here for you.

Rooms: The Main Building had managed to get our attention, but it fails in the end. It's proof that if good ideas are enough to hook the player, they have to be used with ingenuity for him to keep playing. Rooms interesting game design is cursed with a less-than-inspired level design : the lack of challenge nullifies any pleasure one may get in using the items lined-up to solve the riddles of every stage. Too bad, some of the better rooms were a hint as to what that game could have achieved, but didn't.

The House of Wolves is offering PvE content, but without featuring any new Raid. This time Bungie focused on players who likes play alone, or in small groups. That's quite smart after the first DLC. Some will obviously be disappointed by the absence of new raid, but the Prison of the Elders still represents a new way to play that all the PvE players will enjoy.

I am Setsuna is the perfect J-RPG we have all dreamed of when we were 15 years old. In 2016, the game can feel a bit rough on the edge for most of the players. But if you do dare to give it a shot, you will find yourself being part of a wonderful journey filled with amazing battles and great character customization while listening to a marvelous soundtrack.

LawBreakers is far from being a bad multiplayer FPS. It's a fun game with some good ideas, that can entertain you a lot. But there's nothing in it that feels really surprising or more appealing to players that already have plenty of choices in the genre.

Assassin's Creed Chronicles China offers a decent gaming experience, despite the rigidity of the animations. The game also offers a good replay value.

Star Fox Guard is a genuine and ingenious new take on tower defense. The asymmetric gameplay increases action with first person shooting, while the tactical side deploys on the GamePad, particularly through the edition of customized troops to battle online. But the progressive expansion of the arsenal, the changes of environment and the special missions don't create enough diversion from the genre's usual repetitiveness.

F.I.S.T. Forged in Shadow Torch first manages to captivate the player for hours thanks to its unique world and lore. Unfortunately, even if we feel that it's able to draw inspiration from the best and proposed a construction overall which inspires respect, it suffers from certain mistakes that cannot be avoided. Misplaced checkpoints, unskippable cut-scenes but above all commands issues certain phases of platform or combat too frustrating. Try if the genre appeals to you, but be warned that this game will not go easy on your nerves.

This is a well remastered compilation of three solid titles. They transitioned pretty well to the HD (and 3D) format, thanks to an artistic direction that didn't try to do too much at the time, with cartoony textures and models. The games themselves have the qualities and shortcomings of the originals. Nonetheless, the relevance of those games compared to the PS3 episodes may be questioned if you're not a die hard fan of the series.

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.

Slightly above average – that's ultimately what My Hero Academia: All's Justice deserves in our opinion. We did have a good time playing it, being fans of the anime, and the game does it justice, even if it's not perfect. It's a far cry from the disaster that was Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash. But to recapture the brilliance and popularity of the Ninja Storm series, they'll need to deliver something much better in the future.

Quotation forthcoming.

DriveClub Bikes offers a nice and fun experience, thanks to the graphics and social challenges inherited by the original DriveClub. But don't even think of it if you are searching for realism and bike sensations.

Your typical niche game for those who dig robot combats. The robots are fully customizable, and of course, you can play online... it's deep and rich, even though its production values are clearly less than impressive. The solo campaign is weak, it's really online that its appeal appears.

Riders Republic tries to improve the Steep formula on many levels, but sometimes fails to really find its own way: by constantly soliciting the players with its trials, rewards, gears, modes and extras, Ubisoft Annecy's new formula sometimes forgets to let us enjoy the ride and its vast landscape.

Train Fever is a true simulation, rich and complex. A feeling of repetitiveness can settle sometimes, but fans of simulation or locomotives will be satisfied without any problems.

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.

If you're not familiar with the series, or was always put off by its demanding gameplay, this episode might be the one for you. It's simple yet impressive enough. But by sacrificing its hardcore roots to become more accessible, the fans of the originals will feel like it's lost part of its soul.

Wooden Sen'Sey is a faithful disciple of the traditional platforming school, but it lacks hardening to rival the genre's masters.

As an adaptation of the world-renowed french comics, Astérix & Obélix XXL3 does quite the job but the level design in general lacks of inventiveness, especially in co-op mode. The solo mode is not very engaging either because we can't give orders to the second character, not to mention that the AI is very defective.

This is just another update, including more than 100 new puzzles, but it's totally worth it if you're in love with the formula. And you'll probably be pleased that Mega Picross and Micross are featured.

The post-Elden Ring era was going to be difficult, that much was certain. FromSoftware's work on Armored Core 6 is bound to be compared to that of GOTY 2021, and unfortunately it pales into insignificance. At no point do you get a sense of the studio's maturity or expertise. Armored Core 6 could have been anyone's game. A messy title, not very pretty and very repetitive. A game with an archaic, old-fashioned structure that leaves no room for immersion and doesn't even seem to want to draw the player into its world. Fortunately, the gameplay is fun, the sensations are pretty good and some sequences stand out from the crowd. Not to mention the incredible customisation of our mechas, which is sure to delight fans and the big kids in all of us. But does that really justify throwing yourself into the game? I'm not sure. =

This might be the best of Mario Party, completely open online, yet Superstars also highlight the formula's inherent flaws due to a lack of boards, some lingering random elements despite the additional parameters, and the absence of creativity, if not ambition overall.

This first DLC for Human Revolution leaves us with a mixed feeling. On one hand, it's a very nice invitation to further dive into the formidable world of the game (both in stealth or rampage mode). On the other, we can't really say it brings anything new to the table, and the environment is quite tight, with some areas needed to be crossed back and forth. It also suffers from the same technical issues than the original, but it still is worth experiencing, and offers 6-7 hours of play with a nice boss ending (finally one you can approach in several different ways), and a storyline that will teach you who the real Belltower is.

Fatal Frame Maiden of the Black Water in 2021 is just a port of the 2015's game, with nothing more than a few outfits and a Photo Mode. If you want some scary experience before Halloween, or are a fan of the franchise, you'll get exactly what you are looking for, with the same camera issues and a few technical hiccups.
