What Remains of Edith Finch is a masterful piece of storytelling: well told, heartbeaking, and its variety of styles compensates for the lack of interactivity.

Colorful, cheerful and fun, Flinthook is not only a joy to look at, but above all also a blast to play. Too bad for its uncompromising difficulty and its poor balancing, that prevent this roguelike-platformer from becoming the next cult classic on the indie scene.

Tumbleseed is smart and charming and really challenging. Almost too challenging.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is not realistic like ARMA III, but if you're looking for a first-person shooter with a tactical soul and an open-world setting, you’ll be satisfied.

We didn't actually need Syberia 3: a senseless tryout for bringing a perfectly closed series back in the spotlight. Syberia 3, with its mediocre (disappointing) narration and its poor technical design, should have remained Microïds' secret wish.

Not a bad sequel, but the first chapter is still better.

Puyo Puyo Tetris is the not so trivial encounter between two iconic puzzle game legends: a crossover full of options and possibilities that works well played alone, but becomes an absolute blast when played with friends (and therefore a perfect match for Nintendo Switch).

If you liked Outlast, you will definitely love this sequel, which, though not perfect, is one of the most terrifying experiences ever.

The best Mario Kart game ever is back... even better, with a Battle Mode that has finally been fixed. Playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe anywhere, anytime is (almost) priceless.

After being released exclusively for PlayStation in the Japanese market in 1999, Goichi Suda’s visual novel crosses over to the West. In its PS4 edition, it is also enriched with two new chapters. A mature and interesting script and an excellent soundtrack are the strong suit of this otherwise slow paced game, with a weird and clumsy control interface.

Complex and demanding, Cities: Skylines is a solid and engaging city-builder ported quite well to Xbox One.

A twisted fairy tale that dwells in the grotesque and in the macabre, Little Nightmares is a narrative platformer that you will eventually be remembered for its fascinating atmosphere (and its remarkable graphics and audio design) rather than for its gameplay.

Maybe Dawn of War 3 isn't the greatest entry in the saga, but it's damn close. A great RTS in its own right, it lacks a bit of content and some gameplay adjustments to truly climb above its storied predecessors.

You’ll still enjoy this graphic adventure 22 years after its release, but if compared to other LucasArts games Full Throttle has aged less well.

Wonder Boy: The Dragons Trap is a shining example of a remake done right. This is both a love letter to the original and a way to bring in the present an undervalued gem.

Once you have finished the game and switched off your console, you'll remember Blackwood Crossing as one of the most memorable gaming experiences in recent years: in just a few hours, it will summon vivid and palpable feelings; joy and sorrow so touching as to stimulate reflection on the value of brotherly affection.

The Sexy Brutale is brilliant and intelligent, with its beautiful art style, its witty puzzles and its captivating story, but it's far from perfect, especially on Xbox One, where it has quite a few problems. It has near-zero replayability, but will keep you intrigued for more than seven hours.

Apart from some technical limits on Switch, even today, after four years from Wii U release, LEGO City Undercover remains one of the best LEGO games ever.

Lacking in fighters and originality, Rivals of Aether is a fine re-implementation of Smash Bros aimed at hardcore players.

Drawn to Death is somehow fun and gives its best thanks to the crazy and gross art direction and vocabulary, but it has several flaws when it comes to being as quick and effective as you would expect from a game that basically insults your mother every time it has a chance to do so.

A pretty colourful and fast run 'n' gun with many ideas and... technical problems.

Graceful Explosion Machine is a little, smart and fun shoot'em up that perfectly suits the Switch's hybrid nature.

A very rich collection, a must for fans, a bit less so for those who played the various published editions several times.

MLB The Show 17 has changed and it has became an even better game. Well done.

Ouch! The remastered PaRappa is not the one you remember from the PSX heyday. Serious lag issues and a primitive game system irreparably harm the game.

Yooka-Layle offers an interesting take on the classic 3D platform formula. It's a pity that it controls and behaves not as expected from some experienced developers as the Playtonic guys are.

Snake Pass is currently my personal surprise of 2017: a platformer-that's-not-really-a-platformer with strong puzzle elements and a pretty irresistible approach, built with passion and wit around an unconventional concept. It's also a bizarre and surprisingly hardcore experiment overall, one that will make some players fall in love while irritating others. it won't please everyone, but its desire for something original is certainly commendable.

A fascinating mix of RTS and tower defense that uses the VR in a smart way and provides a level of challenge far from trivial.
