    Just like a super fashioned outfit, DC Super Hero Girls : Teen Power looks nice and feels good at first, but proves superficial, if not caricatural once the supernatural effects disappear to reveal true weaknesses, particularly a lack of depth and character in every sense of the word.

    Unfortunately, The Precinct won't be unexpected gem that some players were waiting - it's even far from it. While some will undoubtedly appreciate the homage to the old GTAs, but from the other side of the fence, and the mechanics linked to that, the game's limitations in terms of narrative, repetitiveness and gameplay approximations betray its ambitions. In the end, despite an interesting basic proposition, the game is quickly overtaken by all these major flaws, which prevent it from delivering the “fun” experience promised by the studio.

    RIDE is quite a good motorcycle racing game in terms of gameplay and sensations, but it suffers too many flaws: technically old, the game features unbelievably long loading times, unbelievably save file corruption bug.

    This first chapter first looks promising. It is undubitably a gorgeous game with a lot of love injected in its arts and audio. And Combat system is great. But Zodiac has some issues in terms of navigation and storytelling that can - must - be resolved in the future to fulfill its ambitions.

    It's clear that Hidden Agenda has an interesting concept. But this interactive thriller playable with your phone doesn't really fit with the idea of a party game and sometimes feels a bit rushed in technical terms and not really memorable.

    Super Meat Boy Forever is far from achieving the same result as 2010's classic. With a ton of hardcore but mostly random levels, the game especially suffer from questionable one-button-does-it-all handling, and a lack of finished features. Too bad, because the Dark Worlds and manu secrets still offers to hardcore players a true challenge.

    Park Beyond is not a bad game, far from it, but it will only fully satisfy the curious, those who have never really had the opportunity to immerse themselves in a real management game, or who have neither the desire nor the time to devote to it. In a way, Park Beyond can even be seen as an introduction to the subject. It's a refreshing first step, thanks to its totally surreal coaster concept, but one that will struggle to satisfy aficionados of the genre. But it's not all doom and gloom, far from it, as the title still has plenty to offer, with a highly entertaining campaign that will keep you on the edge of your seat for over a dozen hours, and a sandbox mode. But there's no need to wait any longer or look for what's hidden beneath the surface.

    Winds & Leaves is a charming ans soothing VR experience, but not without flaws. Controls are not very precise and we are kind of disconnected from this artistically dashing world because of aliasing and clipping. A pity, we would have loved to let it grow on us.

    Nearly one year after the release of Kingdom Hearts III, Tetsuya Nomura and his team deliver a potpourri of various experiences, including a revisited version of the game's ending and the Limit Cut episode, in which we see again some cherished and familiar faces. In fact, the main complain we can address to the Re:Mind DLC is its expensive price.

    Close to the Sun has a huge potential. Supported by a technique of good quality, it however lacks dynamism. The fault of very slow movements and a gameplay that requires that we agree to walk to the discovery of clues more present to define an atmosphere, than to advance in the story. Not quite adventure game, not quite FPS either, it does not take clear enough direction to stand out. Nevertheless, it will satisfy the fans of the genre who do not have much to play at the moment.

    At first, Berserk and the Band of the Hawk looks like one of the best manga adaptations ever developed... Beautiful, well polished and faithful to the original work of Kentaro Miura, we had high hopes for this game. Sadly, Berserk and the Band of the Hawk has nothing else to offer. Gameplay is dull and repetitive, the game in itself atrociously lacks meanigful content to have fun with (there are only 8 characters to chose from) and there are no multiplayer mode. This game feels like a huge step backward for the Musou genre.

    Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is not a bad experience, but it will for sure divide the fans. It seems like the studio had several good ideas, but that once assembled they did not make a good Final Fantasy game. This episode tried to convince the players by offering an open world and a certain freedom of action, but it fails in terms of storytelling. And technically, Lightning Returns just doesn't reach the level fans of Final Fantasy expect from the series.

    Medal of Honor Above and Beyond returns to Oculus Quest II, and the challenge is great on this small autonomous headset. And unfortunately, he doesn’t get it too. The technique is often faulty, with jerky animations of the sets and characters, which can become unpleasant over time. And if we set the graphics settings to the maximum, the game almost starts to row. In addition, the single player campaign, made up of small scenes of a few minutes, offers a false rhythm, with a lot of rather long dialogue, with a French accent in overplayed English, between two sometimes short fights. If some spectacular passages stand out, it is difficult to get excited about its events. A survival mode and a multiplayer mode complete the picture, but the rather stupid AI of the enemies does not make it all essential. It's a shame, because in terms of interaction, it was pretty well done, with pretty cool weapon handling. On recent releases, prefer Resident Evil 4 VR, by far.

    State of Decay 2 is an interesting "post zombie apocalypse life simulator" that forces the player to manage every aspect of a survivor's life. It's too bad that its story isn't very interesting. And what to say about those bugs: there are just so many of them... With better production values, State of Decay could have been a truly special game.

    The Novelist is a narrative adventure game that has a few flaws, but offers a unique and interesting story, where you can decide to help a father, his whife or his kid, depending the situations, to eventually help them all.

    Yes, MotoGP 2018 is only an update with some editing of its previous edition. But the job is well done on the important points that matters; driving sensations, adjustable realism at all levels, and comprehensive content regarding the real MotoGP and its virtual transposition. This is as much at the level of the circuits as of the machines and the pilots. We regret the lack of competition that has probably contributed a bit to Milestone laziness. There is still a lot of room for improvements. But if you like the MotoGP, you will not be disappointed by this game that does the job correctly.

    Picross e3 has still this addictive formula and is still very nice to play, but you may regret that this episode offers fewer puzzles and removes the "Micross" in favor of "Mega Picross", rather than featuring both.

    Unless you're willing to try each and every one of the strategy games that are released, I really don't see why I should recommend this game to you. With average graphics at best, no real gameplay value, and a boredom generating ability that strikes pretty soon into the game, Patrician IV doesn't stand a chance next to its competition. Sure, on paper the idea was praiseworthy and its developers seem to have had some good intentions, but it clearly lacks ambition. Too bad.

    57 usually well thought-out mini-games, funny and full of surprises, that's the main strength of this game. Even though they quickly show their limitations, the use of tactile or regular controls, of the microphone, or the gyro make all this richer and more appealing. A good little game.

    Rise & Rise is a lovely game. But a very punitive one, too. A lot of players will respond to its attractive visuals and soundtrack . But some of them will probably be a bit frustrated by the whole - not very long though - challenge, with a lot of deaths for sure, they'll be facing. Still a great way to start 2017.

    The virtual reality version of Battlezone offers a smart reimagining of one of the oldest video games. But even if the game really makes you feel like you're inside a tank's cockpit, it can get a bit boring after a while for solo players. Only players who are planning on playing online multiplayer should give Battlezone a shot.

    Inviting amiibo figures already marks a welcome return to board games, both traditional and virtual, but Bowser's nomination as the master of asymmetrical ceremonies terrifically heats the party up.

    The most interesting part of King Arthur II the RPG remains the dark universe and interactive storytelling. The blend of RPG-diplomacy-strategy-management is nice, but a little confusing and not really help by the poor interface. Overall, it could be satisfying, if only it wasn't so full of bugs shattering the game. Crashes back to the desktop are frequent, and it really needs to be patched as soon as possible. Until then, stay away.

    Need For Speed is rebooting the series with style: the graphics are fantastic and the cars completely customisable. But for the rest of the experience, fans will be disappointed by this quite boring open world racing game.

    Tiny Metal tries to pursue the long lost heritage of the Famicom Wars series... maybe too much? Every good idea the game delivers is always counterbalanced by several bad ones: the dialogs are nice too watch but way too long for the genre, the missions are solid, but the Fog War is frustrating as it is, and the strategy is sometimes hard to follow with such a poor AI.

    Sadly, Wonder Boy Asha in Monster World is just a 3D version of a game that hasn't aged well. It would have been great if Asha and Pepelogoo had more of remake than a colourful remaster that only shows that the original game was not as good as The Dragon's Trap or Wonder Boy in Monster World.

    ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove is so similar to the original version released in 1991 that it fails to deliver the needed innovations that would have gave a new appeal to the game, instead of this dated gameplay that will bore any un-nostalgic gamer.

    The Smurfs Mission Vileaf is an oh-so-classic 3D platformer which only addresses the youngest of players. Yet, the amusing writing and fairy melodies might not make us forget its shortness, repetitiveness and sometimes buggy design.

    Vampire The Masquerade: Swansong, offers a deep gameplay, a rich universe and real consequences to our actions. Unfortunately, the game is counterbalanced by a sluggish pace and technical flaws.
