Once again, a great adventure game from Pendulo. But this one is darker in tone and story (which is excellent) that, its usual productions.

The most complete game of a fantastic license, and the best fighting game this year with Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator.

Street Fighter V Champion Edition is the most gorgeous version of SFV. Until the next one ? Well, we'll see...

Hotline Miami wants you dead! And he'll get satisfaction. The worst is, despite certain, repeated humiliation, despite death and outrages, you'll love it.

Transistor is a memorable and immersive game thanks to the companion voice and the stunning visuals and audio. Its rich gameplay is a bit demanding, but also rewarding if you want to experiment and discover all its secrets.

Like a fine wine, Stardew Valley improves with age. Even after 10 years, the title remains an essential reference in cozy farm games. Beneath its unpretentious retro indie game exterior, it actually hides an incredible amount of generosity. Supported by a community that is more active than ever today, its creator, Eric Barone, keeps expanding the range of possibilities with free extra content in each update. But above all, it works because the world it offers is as solid as it is immersive. The residents of Pelican Town are all characters worth getting to know, while the sense of freedom given to the player is reinforced by constant discoveries. Whether it's your first or tenth adventure, it's always worth returning to the valley for another visit.

NBA 2K14 is the best NBA 2K experience in terms of gameplay, immersion and pleasure, and it's even better on next-fen consoles, with amazing graphics.

In case you haven't figured it out, Monster Hunter Wilds is a masterclass. The worthy successor to World and Iceborne and its success is already assured. We are also already promised free updates, a first monster has been confirmed for spring 2025, a tab for event quests is already waiting for players and we know that collaborations will take place. Clearly, Monster Hunter Wilds is one of the rare games that already manages to make us love what's coming, without even knowing what we're going to have to deal with. Extremely generous from start to finish, it improves and modernizes a recipe that has already proven itself and won over millions of players. Fans can go there with their eyes closed, while newbies have here a perfect gateway to get a foot in the door of the license. A fantastic world awaits you, dozens of hours of hunting alone or in cooperation, but above all an incredible and spectacular experience. Definitely one of the best games of 2025, even if it's just beginning.

Shadowbringers is simply the best MMO extension ever made, period. The new world to discover is amazing, the story is amazing, the soundtrack is amazing and the updated battle system is amazing. We will only complain about one thing: please Square Enix, fix the way characters are animated during cut-scenes because it is painful to watch in 2019.

Whether it's an accomplished dream or a recurring nightmare, spending a bloody night will never have the same meaning, particularly for mere mortals.

Monster Hunter World is the real reboot of the series we've been waiting for for so long. Capcom has managed to maintain the essence of the game while getting rid of the gameplay rigidity of the past years, and the result is a beautiful and fantastic game.

Even if this PS4 version is all about new (and clearly stunning) graphics and doesn't fix some issues with camera and controls, it is a fantastic way to discover or taste once again one of the most extraordinary, emotional and impressive games of all times. Shadow of the Colossus deserves this second life, as it really well executed thanks to Blue Point's work.

On Switch or not, Fez is an incredible experience, strong and deep like very few games are. Whether you already played it somewhere else or not, Phil Fish's game is a must-have and has not aged a bit, even after 10 years.

Guild Wars 2 was long-awaited; it's now out, and its gigantic amount of content and polish are undeniable. What is, though, is its "revolutionary" tag. Because it's clearly not a revolution, just one of the most comprehensive, detailed, and rich "Theme Park" MMO ever, with a welcomed focus placed upon comfort for players. What may be a revolution, though, is having this rich a game with no subscription and a decent, not forced-down-your-throat online shop.

Astro Bot is an ultra-efficient platformer, but more than that. More than just a PlayStation tribute game, it's an experience in its own right. A Madeleine de Proust that will appeal to the little gamer in all of us. Far removed from the violence of many of today's AAA games, this is an outpouring of love for video games, and for PlayStation too, of course. In this sense, DualSense is more than ever in the spotlight, and all the better for it. We'd totally forgotten about its functionality, as the poor thing is generally under-exploited. Gameplay is a clear winner here, and you'll even find yourself experimenting with the hyper-calibrated haptic feedback. All in all, Astro Bot offers a dynamic, well-paced game that continually renews itself. There are a few glitches where skills, game sequences and OST use are repeated, but that's just nitpicking. In reality, it's a blast and leaves you wanting more. Astro Bot has a message, one that reminds us of what's essential: have fun, enjoy yourself and love video games. And for that, it's a total success.

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls is a great experience and an excellent add-on to Diablo III. With the Adventure mode and Nephalem's Rift, Blizzard erases almost perfectly every inherent problems of Hack'n Slash games. It's actually quite difficult to find real defects in this add-on.

Tales of Arise is a fantastic RPG. With a big storyline that's much more complex than it looks, and touching characters, great design, combat playability, very nervous and close to a beat'em all, and very satisfying roleplaying aspects. And if the PS5 version doesn't have the most insane optimization, it's been a real pleasure to play this Tales of Arise. If J-RPG is your thing, you shouldn't miss it.

Just like Rayman Origins did one year ago, Rayman Legends just blew me away. Michel Ancel and his team did incredible work to make this game competitive against others platformers. They deliver a beautiful game, with some clever gameplay mechanics. The Wii U version uses the asymmetric gameplay very well and multiplayer is even better on this platform.

This third iteration is by far the best one. It's as pretty as ever, deeper and richer content-wise, and probably the best MMA "realistic" title today. Its only shortcoming : the new submission system, that seems a little too random. Other than that, if you're a fan, get it!

Madden NFL 20 has reached an additional milestone thanks to the addition of significant new features. It remains the best American football experience.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is the best Assassin's Creed experience in terms of scale, freedom and gameplay. Between land and sea, the journey of Edward Kenway is really captivating.

After almost 2 years without being able to attend a concert normally, those who claim to be music lovers have the opportunity with The Artful Escape to participate in what comes closest to it : a rock and roll narrative experience. Ready to battle with Psychonauts 2 for the title of the most colorful artistic direction of the year, puffing up with color and good humor, with a fantastic soundtrack, the first project of Beethoven & Dinosaur does not disappoint. His neat writing, his crazy ans so well interpreted characters and his themes largely allow him to forget that it has not a lot to offer gameplaywise. One of the sunrays of 2021, unmissable if you have always dreamed of becoming a rockstar and dazzling an audience in delirium with your most melodious riffs.

In the same vein as recent PS5 exclusive ports, Nixxes delivers an excellent PC version of Death Stranding 2. Graphically and technically almost flawless, aside from a few minor glitches, enjoyable to play with both keyboard/mouse and controllers, especially the DualSense, and with some welcome additions via a free update, this is clearly the definitive version of Kojima Productions' latest BB. A port of this quality makes it all the more regrettable that Sony has apparently decided to stop adapting other single-player PS5 exclusives for PC in the future. This one, therefore, has a very unique flavour and, whether we like it or not, represents a beautiful swan song for this chapter of PlayStation history, which closes on the Beach.

This iPad adaptation is quite good, except during stressful moments where you have to quickly deal with the condensed interface, but that's still a real pleasure to take your FTL away with you where you want.

Lost Judgment takes what was good about Judgment and turns it into an even better game. The main story is riveting and all the side-stories are just as interesting in a wide variety of ways. The game shows a side of Japan that is rarely seen in video games. And it does it in a serious way that is even rarer. The silliness people have come to expect from a Yakuza game is off course here to add some levity. It is also hard to believe how much stuff the developers have managed to put in the game. There's all the side content seen in previous Yakuza games (except for the karaoke, which is sorely missed). And on top of that, they've added a handful of brand new activities and mini-games which all have their own mechanics. With Lost Judgment, the Takuya Kimura-led series already has its Yakuza 0.

A must have action-RPG with deep combat systems and an very interesting open-world. Sadly all is not perfect and graphics are totally outdated and AI have some problems.

Mario Kart World is an almost total success, and remains a must-have, even if there are a couple of minor complaints. Its risk-taking pays off, and it succeeds very well in its hairpin turn towards more subtle gameplay, which is still as fun and exhilarating as ever. The new features will take a little getting used to, but will quickly prove indispensable for shining in multiplayer races. The new survival mode is an absolute success and promises a bright future in the license, to the detriment of the battle mode, which is gradually fading away. In any case, Mario Kart World is a must-have for Nintendo Switch 2 and certainly the console's best launch game.

428: Shibuya Scramble is clearly a game worthy of its Japanese reputation. Spike Chunsoft's Visual Novel tells a riveting story and makes a really clever use of its multiple bad endings system. The game gives you a tour of the real Shibuya and introduces you to a cast of characters that grows on you very fast. It grows on you so much in fact, that once the game ends, you're sad that you'll never see them again.
