Although The Sims 4 brings a few new features, namely the emotion system, it can only make the early fans unhappy and disappointed. Electronic Arts erased many elements and features that were essential and representative of the saga. And we already know that EA will sell them in a few months, included inside expansive expansion packs.

Rise & Fall falls a bit short of our expectations as the new features lack some impact on the gameplay , while the diplomatic inconsistencies of the IA makes alliances hard to make. The new civs and new content still make it a content to own for the fans.

Sniper Ghost Warrior goes open world, and if the result shows a lack of budget, CI Games isn't Ubisoft or Rockstar. Still a good sniping game for players who have beaten Sniper Elite 4.

Deliver Us The Moon could have been a great walking simulator if it did keep it's momentum throughout the adventure. Still a good game if you fancy all things related to space.

Players will have trouble considering Prototype 2 as a full-fledged sequel. The lack of surprises regarding the gameplay compared to the previous title, and a story that is not worth telling despite some amazing live action cutscenes, could curb the enthusiasm of the few players looking for new game mecanics. However, Radical Enterainment managed to create a gaming experience as intuitive as the one offered in 2009 in the first Prototype. So, James Heller will surely help some players reach true power with their controller and it would be crazy not to try!

Torment : Tides of Numenera brings us back to the time of the first Fallout, Baldur's Gate and Planetscape Torment with a very rich background that will require players to read a lot in order to immerse into the story. A better UI and more complex fighting mechanics would allow more players to have fun with it.

Sea of Thieves offers a very good sandbox that's incredibly empty. Much like No Man's Sky in its days, the game has lots of potential but nothing concrete to keep the gamer playing.

Surviving Mars is a very good city-builder game with a lot of upsides, but the early game is made unnecessarily hard by an absolute lack of tutorial, which forces the player to learn by trial and error.

It’s not the first time Link and Zelda step into Musou territory, but it’s the first time the whole thing actually feels good to play. The Switch 2 finally gives the genre the power it needed: big battles, smooth framerate, and that guilty pleasure of slicing through hordes of enemies without the game falling apart. Add a story that fills in gaps between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and the experience is surprisingly engaging. The downside is that the game sticks a bit too tightly to the Musou formula. Missions repeat themselves, objectives feel predictable, and the RPG layer barely adds anything. A few fun ideas (team attacks, character swapping, shoot’em-up moments) don’t fully break the routine. And visually, it’s uneven: the game runs great, but flat textures, aliasing, and blurry 720p cutscenes make it look more like a late Switch 1 title than a true Switch 2 showcase. In the end, Hyrule Warriors: Chronicles of the Sceal is a solid, enjoyable Musou with plenty of Zelda lore, but it’s still a conservative entry. Fun as a stress-reliever and nice for fans, just not essential.

Call of the Sea isn't as groundbreaking as what the sales pitch would make you think. It's a very classic puzzle game which doesn't stand out from the rest. Thankfully, le visuals are great, the narrative is a good surprise as it has multiple endings.

Milanoir is a very good indie game which is far from a masterpiece but vastly worthy of the 10€ asked for its 6h adventure, especially if you like the Italian thriller movies from the 70's. Now we're awaiting for the next game from Italo Games.

Minecraft Dungeons feels like a Diablo but for kids, as it's pretty easy, but sadly, it lacks substance to really shine, as one can beat it in 5 hours. We would have loved to be able de build or destroy blocks.

Resident Evil 6 is not the blockbuster we were waiting for. The reason? Capcom decided to develop an action title instead of a survival horror game, despite their lack of knowledge players will be aware with the bad cover system. Of Course, everything is not that bad, to begin with its ingenious inventory, Jake Muller's campaign, or some of the QTE cleverly introduced all along the three different stories. However, the 30 hours of gameplay won't be enough to make Resident Evil 6 one the best episode of the IP.

If we had to compare, Inazuma Eleven Strikers is clearly not as good as the previous games released on Nintendo DS. For sure, it has many qualities such as its career mode, the great number of players to unlock and nice animations used for shooting sequences. And yet, the lack of an online gaming experience and an old-fashioned production are not easy to forgive, as if Level-5 were keeping the remaining good parts of the game for the next title.

Captain Toad : Treasure Tracker is a cute and simple way to bring in the New Year. Although they won't keep you busy too long, Toad's adventures are well-finished, colorful and efficient enough to be worth a try.

Beyond it's magnificent Open World and it's very polished technical aspects, The Crew is an empty shell, lacking content and plagued by microtransactions that turn the PvP into a pay-to-win. Clearly a disappointment from the studio that gave us V-Rally and Test Drive Unlimited.

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond feels torn between old and new. After nearly twenty years of waiting, you’d expect a bold comeback, but the game never fully commits to its ideas. It tries to modernize (more action, more dialogue, a wider world), yet keeps clinging to old habits, resulting in something unsure of itself. The empty desert hub, the awkward motorbike, and the constant over-explaining don’t help. There are good moments, and you can see the potential, but they get buried under technical compromises and repetitive design. In the end, it’s not a bad game, just a disappointing one ; fine for newcomers, but far from the glorious return fans hoped for.

Way more interesting than it's cousin Space Hulk: Deathwing, Space Hulk Tactics stays true to the mechanics of the board game while peppering it with a cleaver system of cards. Overall it's still a niche game made on a budget, but it performs as required.

Tomodachi Life is not what you can call a Nintendo masterpiece but it's a good alternative to Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The Mii's become endearing with time and classic scenes of life come alive in a very smart way. It's always getting funnier and offers some great moments, but we can't ignore the lacking elements that make Tomodachi only a challenger.

This Capcom Beat'em Up Bundle mixes great games whose gameplay is still unmatched these days, but it also lacks numerous mandatory options like graphical options, and a bigger gallery. Overall it's a nice trip down memory lane.

Twenty-six years after its initial release, L’Amerzone returns in a modernized, ambitious, and respectful version of Benoît Sokal’s original work. Microids Studio Paris delivers a remake that, despite technical limitations and dated gameplay, manages to preserve the soul of the original game. This 2025 version is primarily aimed at nostalgic players and fans of contemplative adventure, but it may leave those seeking modernity or a faster pace feeling unmoved. The respect for the source material, the quality of the art direction, and the unique atmosphere of the world make The Explorer’s Testament a valuable, almost museum-like offering—one whose strength lies in its fidelity and melancholic tone. It’s unfortunate, however, that the gameplay didn’t receive a proper overhaul to match the visual ambitions, and that the illusion of freedom promised by the trailers is shattered within the game’s opening moments. Still, L’Amerzone remains a beautiful journey to experience—provided you’re willing to slow down, observe, and immerse yourself.

Dark Souls 2 won't change anything: if you liked the experience FromSoftware offered in the former episodes, then you will like it again. But if not, you won't start liking now. The great atmosphere, the feeling of loneliness, the intriguing soundtrack and the difficulty still make the quality of this game. But Dark Souls 2 begins to fall behind from the technical point of view, and it's far too demanding for such old-school gameplay.

Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered offers nothing really outlandish besides slightly updated graphics, and 4K for PS4 Pro and Xbox One X owners. As always, if you haven't played it go for that version, otherwise, don't bother.

The players who never finished or even tried Dream Drop Distance on Nintendo 3DS will find this Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue very enjoyable. The others could be disappointed and will struggle to justify the pricetag.

Silt is fun to play and features a very attractive monochrome art direction, as well as a deliciously dark atmosphere. Everything would be perfect if Journey, Limbo, Inside, Abzû or Little Nightmares hadn't already been there. The title of Spiral Circus was certainly made with passion, but it does not manage to stand out enough from its models.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch may not be a triple A game, but Young Horses have been smart enough to make it catchy, with a particularly endearing hero. Unfortunately, Octodad suffers from an imprecise gameplay, a sometimes crazy camera and approximative collisions. It remains a good experience, maybe too expensive though.

The ABC Murders is a promising start for this new IP based on Agatha Christie's books, but the devs need a bit more work before it can compete with other investigation masters like the Sherlock Holmes series.

Sea of Solitude is a nice atmospheric game that sucks the player into a very special universe with very good OST and art style. On the other hand, the level design is boring and some sequences are pretty boring.

Thief is no treason, but it's not a brilliant reboot either. It's an honest game, without a doubt, but it never becomes awesome. Surprisingly, we've been more interested in the side missions than the main story, which lacks intensity. With more charismatic characters, more freedom, and a better artistic direction, Thief could have been significantly better.

DiRT 5 looks good, but feels way too dull to really trigger our love of arcade racing, specially with a lousy AI and multiplayer races that all end up in a demolition derby round. At least, Playground mode saves the day and brings a welcome dose of pure fun into the mix.

Marvel's Iron Man VR is a VR game that will appeal a lot to fans of the IP, and while some of it is nice, there are lots of shortcomings chief among which are the poor story and the very long loading times.

Outcast: Second Contact is a very good remaster as the core of the game remains unchanged while it's looks have been completely overhauled to fit modern hardware and players. A very good way to bring the nostalgia vibe for the seasoned players, and to make younger players discover this adventure.

Too close and clearly not on par with games like Pokemon or Yo-Kai Watch, Monster Hunter Stories is clearly an attempt to seduce kids into the IP. For the seasoned player, the game will feel easy, repetitive and too generic.

Pokémon Art Academy is a good mix between Pokémon and New Art Academy, which tended to propose maybe too classical drawings. Here, you really enjoy trying to create something good with some precise instructions and hundreds of creatures to draw. But once you're out of the Lessons Mode and free to draw what you want, the difficulty raises inevitably, so you'll need several hours of training to produce something nice. Hopefully you have a 3DS XL available.

Rock Band 4 is not exactly Rock Band 2 for PS4 and Xbox One, but it's not that far off either. Harmonix sacrifices new ideas on the altar of compatibility; you can use former instruments, you can play all the tracks you already had, and all this is pretty good. But Rock Band 4 could have done with some graphics improvements and a few more new features.

Samurai Warriors 4 takes a little advantage of its port on PS4. It's still kind of old-school, but the game is at last better on a technical point of view. We're still waiting for the episode that will rebuilt from ground zero.

F1 2014 is a real disappointment, as it changes absolutely nothing from the previous episode and even takes off the Classic mode. You'll feel betrayed, probably.

In spite of a very short life, Sakura Swim Club is a very good gate into the world of Japanese visual novel. A perfect way to try this genre, and a good fapping material if you install the Hentaï patch that makes this game definitely NSFW.

DriveClub VR is currently the only one to offer such an experience in virtual reality. And that saves it from being a total fail. But the feeling of speed and immersion are both damaged by poor graphics and low ambition.

Different than the other Ridger Racers, Unbounded looks like more a spin off with a new style than a new fresh episode. We are not sure that the fans will like this new direction.

PlayStation VR Worlds is all about highs and lows. Some experiences are really captivating and immersive - such as The London Heist - ; some are totally forgettable. It should be seen as an introduction to VR world.

The Chant will not be one of the games to remember in 2022, because of its dated graphics and snoring gameplay. Situations sometimes don't make sense, with weak attacks having more impact than heavy hits. Overall, the combat system lacks dynamism and subtlety. On the other hand, the atmosphere is captivating, but that's not enough to make it a good game.

Taking elements from the first two titles of the IP, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD returns to basics especially regarding its gameplay and the music used to entertain our ears. Even if the game is developed for those who are nostalgic for the PSOne era, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD has nothing revolutionnary to offer.

If Project Zero 2 remains identical to the version released in 2005 on PS3 regarding its hair-raising universe and its original gameplay, the Wii title won't give the IP a new lease of life. Graphically the same, Project Zero 2: Wii Edition also suffers from bad game controls, the Wiimote clearly better for party-games. It's really infortunate when you know that horror titles are not many on Wii.

Ride was off on the good foot to be the bike's Gran Turismo with its generous roaster of over 100 bikes and a lighter roaster of 15 tracks. But with all the official licensing and the aftermarket parts, the salvation was in sight, until Milestone's incompetent devs ruining of the final product with major bugs blossoming all over it, including corrupted save files and game instability.

Sweet mix between Destruction Derby and Twisted Metal, the game from Lucid Games has some good ideas, but never manages to make them come true. There is fun, explosion, but it lacks depth. Fortunately, it is offered in the PlayStation Plus this month.

While being sub-par overall, We Happy Few is still a nice save when you think that Compulsion changed its game from a survival title to narrative-driven adventure in just two years. If you had big expectations, don't bother. If you like the artistic side of things and the concept, give it a shot.

FIFA 13 Wii U is not really FIFA 13. When you think twice, this episode is closer to FIFA 12 which is not a pleasant idea to convey for the future of Nintendo's new console. Many features have simply disappeared and the gameplay options proposed by the use of GamePad are not so groundbreaking.

No need to debate further, this Asterix & Obelix Baffez les Tous 2 does not keep its promises. The marketing announced to us a “bigger better stronger” sequel when it is the opposite that we are receiving, namely the first episode much worse. Not only has the element of surprise disappeared, but nothing has changed or evolved. We therefore have the impression of playing the same game as in 2021 with many elements that have been removed.

Reservoir Dogs Bloody Days is a nice indie game with its loveable side and flaws. The rewind system is a good idea and makes it a very good tactical game, but it breaks the rhythm of the pure fight. A Hotline Miami look-alike but not a play-alike.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 still offers vast content and loads of fan-service, but overall it feels too similar to the previous games, and suffers from sub-par graphics and technical problems.

Rune Factory surely has some qualities with its long game experience and its colorful and aquatic universe that players will enjoy crossing thanks to the introduction of the Golem. However, the ones that usely play the IP to satisfy their farmer spirit, will be disappointed to see that all the hard work has been given to the mobs, the players' role consisting in checking if they have enough cookies to eat. Hopefully, fight sequences remain entertaining, yet repetitive.

Overall, GRID : Autosport ain't a bad game, but it sticks to recycling the gameplay of Racedriver GRID and the graphics of GRID 2. The content is scarce at start and the AI is an example of what not to do. All this was expected as the game spent less than a year in development, but still, selling a stand alone DLC for the price of a full game is a but daring. The loss of customisation for cars is a major down from previous episodes. Overall the game still proves worthy but it surely wont seduce much besides the ip's fanboys. The best way is still to get GRID 1 & 2 during some sale.

With As Dusk Falls, a new step is taken in the transformation of classic adventure games into "narrative experiences" intended for a general audience. The INTERIOR/NIGHT studio even pushes the cursor to reach the status of interactive photo-novel, due to a singular artistic direction, based essentially on still images.

It's no a surprise, after a successful Just Dance 2016 at all levels, Ubisoft fails with this Just Dance 2017 which is lack of new features. Worse, the playlist and the choreographies are really disappointing. Too serious, not enough fun.

Onrush is a true mix of all the arcade racing offer with well-crafted game modes and a fast paced rhythm. Codemaster's games is far from perfect with an overflow of visual effects that makes it hard to see while most of the races are truly repetitive. Overall, the game clearly isn't worth the 70€ asked for it.

Fortnite feels a lot like Dungeon Keeper. It's a worthy game with interesting gameplay, and where everything is ruined by greedy monetization. The ripoff is less obvious than in EA's game but it's still a pain. We suggest waiting until 2018 when the game will be truly free-to-play.

Even if Serious Sam 4 feels truly dated, with visuals that will bring you back a few years, the game is still a blast to play, with thousands of foes ant the same time, and a very good gameplay that mixes fast-FPS with beat'em all. Just wait a bit until all the bugs are ironed out.

WWE 2K16 fixes some problems inherited from the last episode of the series, especially in terms of content. But it keeps trailing certain issues that makes it unworthy of our expectations, unworthy of the platforms it runs on.

Sadly Twin Mirror gives us the feeling that Dontnod has a shortage of ideas, as the game feels like another iteration on Life is Strange's concept. The narrative isn't special anymore, the few dialogue options are way too shallow, and the few puzzles can't make up for the lot. It's not a bad game overall, but it feels like the Xerox machine has done most of the work.

Déraciné isn't really a true VR title as the VR doesn't bring much to the experience. Still it's an enjoyable ride as From Software has loads of know-how in terms of narrative and artistic direction.

Final Fantasy Explorers could have been a nice mix between MMORPG and JRPG. But first of all, it's not worthy the 3DS from a technical point of view. The game is also too easy, too repetitive and lacks some strategical ingredients to be really playable on a long-term basis.

Let's be realistic: Spiders ain't Bioware and Bound By Flame is not Dragon Age. But the french studio tries it's hardest and gives us a quite hard RPG, far from the mainstream easiness of games. Each fight is an adventure, you better be a fan of Dark Souls than Super Mario RPG to enjoy that game. Anyway, you will have to close your eyes on some real flaws (weird level design, poor AI, boring script..) Happily, Bound By Flame is coming at a time where RPG are quite rare. If Spider's game won't replace Dragon Age Inquisition or Risen 3, it can be a way to wait until those latest editions come out.

Canceled, postponed, stunned by the COVID crisis, then paralyzed by the war in Ukraine, STALKER 2 is, we can say, a miracle. However, despite this good news, and like all these Arlesiennes who arrive in pain after so many years, there are inevitably cracks, even fractures. And a few minutes are enough to see the handicaps that are dragging the GSC Game World title down. Technically first of all, STALKER 2 is lagging behind, with a 3D engine completely overtaken by events. Everything seems frozen, as if we were finding the STALKER of the 2007s, whether in its still life, its static NPCs or its creatures animated with a trowel. The artificial intelligence of the enemies is unfortunately not spared by a lack of know-how, with soldiers who are able to spot us from miles around at the slightest crack of a branch, but are unable to move properly. The open world is certainly gigantic and makes us experience the life of a true survivalist in wartime on a minefield of anomalies as painful as they are invisible, but the progression is marred by a slow, painful and above all unexciting pace. We tried to cling to this story of supernatural elements and a Skif at bay, but the countless bugs and the game system stiffened by this rigid handling and this mediocre interface will have finished off the little enthusiasm we had left. That said, if you are patient, conciliatory with a game whose development was not helped by extraordinary circumstances, and above all totally addicted to the great atomic-Soviet thrill, you might enjoy traveling in the shadow of Chernobyl…

Homefront: The Revolution has everything a modern shooter needs : open-world game, loot system, crafting system… All these things will allow you to spend a good time but there are too many technical issues. Just wait for some patches.

Space Hulk: Deathwing is a pure merch product. The fans of Game Workshop's IP will like it for the universe, but the more mainstream gamer will just find a poorly made FPS.

This reboot of Shadow of the Beast is an honest game which sticks to the recipe that made its original success, but it could have been better with an improved level design, better enigmas and more intrictate patterns fro the bosses.

Fantasia: Music Evolved is an unusual concept. It brings some new air to the musical games' family as it allows you to become a conductor. Unfortunately, Kinect suffers from an unwelcome latency and the tracklist is quite irrelevant.

Dakar 18 is a game that accurately depicts rallye-raid and it's focus on navigation rather than speed. It's highly recommended for fans of this genre of race, but feels incredibly tedious for regular gamers. moreover, the game lacks polish and has bugs in abundance. Proceed with caution.

WWE 2K19 still offers incredible content that will hook up any wrestling fan, but sadly, quantity prevails over quality, and the technical side of things and rigid gameplay are enough to repel any gamer that's not fond of the WWE.

Wii Party U is far from a masterpiece, but you can be sure you'll have fun with it. It's not perfect, some games are boring, there is several problems with balance and with motion recognition, but it should help you to wait till the release of an all-new Mario Party.

ARK Survival Evolved has the potential to be a very good survival game, but it's quality core is covered by layers of bugs, optimization problems, toxic community and a dev team that's borderline crook.

Even if Atomega offers a good gameplay and an interesting concept, it suffers from a serious lack of content. Only one map and one game mode is not enough, and ot makes all the games look alike.

Expectations were sky-high for Silent Hill f, a true new entry in a series that’s been dormant far too long. Konami trusted Taiwanese studio Neobards Entertainment, and the result is stunning visually and technically, with bold choices like 1960s Japan and more action. The writing is subtle and sharp, making the game feel unique and ambitious. But the gameplay lets it down. It’s clunky, slow, and frustrating, with too many tedious fights, a poorly designed stamina system, and puzzles that feel overcomplicated. The potential is huge, yet the execution keeps you from fully enjoying it. In the end, it’s a polarizing game: impressive and daring in style, but clumsy to play. One step forward, two steps back. Silent Hill deserves better than a beautiful shell hiding rusty mechanics.

Earth Defense Force 4.1 is a light remaster of Earth Defence Force 2025, if you've played the original one, it has no interest, if you've willing to discover the series it's a nice game albeit the dated technical side can be harsh to cope with.

Naruto Powerful Shippuden isn't really the kind of game you play when you're older than 14. But IntiCreates managed to give it some qualities: simple and efficient gameplay, a flexible XP system and a great amount of missions. Unfortunately, the graphics are too poor to make the point and you'll need a very special sense of humour to not skip the narrative part of the game.

World War Z is a worthy TPS which feels quite good with brainless shooting and hordes of zombies, but the overall content is far too slim, and the gameplay far too repetitive to score a hit in our hearts. Consider playing it with friends, or pick it up at a sale.

This new Fatal Frame gets the atmosphere right, makes the player uneasy. That's a pretty good point to start with for a horror game. But once you're in control, it becomes awful to play and offers no perspective of new challenge to force the player to go forward.

As we could expect, Dead Island Riptide suffers form the 1.5 syndrome. In other words this stand alone game could have been sold as a DLC to the first episode. Those who disliked Dead Island can keep staying away from this game. For the Fans of the IP, the game offers a good deal with the seductive tropical setting, the countless zombies and the improvised weapons, but they will still have to cope with the drawbacks of the genuine game as bugs, repetitive action and boring quests are still the main stay of this game.

LEGO Marvel's Avengers has nothing really new to offer, apart from the 200 characters you can play with. It's still confused, it's still repetitive and it's very similar to the other LEGO games you've tried till now.

If you played the game on PS3 or Xbox 360, we can hardly advise you to open your wallet for Saints Row 4 : Re-Elected + Gat Out of Hell. Even with the large amount of content the game brings, 50 euros is still too much to ask for a GOTY edition without any visual improvements.

If you're coming here for the gameplay, forget Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 as nothing has evolved on that topic for the last decade. If you want to peep at sexy girls, you're in the right place as everything was made with this goal in mind. A game to store on the ecchi shelf.

While Stifled is a good VR experience with some creative gameplay ideas, the game falls flat as the player quickly understands how everything works which ruins the thriller ambiance of the game. A game to consider if you're into VR and alternative gameplay, and to pass otherwise.

Even if old players are the target, Arkanoid Eternal Battle will still appeal to younger generations thanks to the competitive mode. Battle Royale-style kills and a 25-player cap ensure fast, hassle-free games. It is however very regrettable that the servers are so empty, and that we suddenly find ourselves facing AI rather than real players.

Yo-Kai Watch wants to make it simple, but it's far too simple for anyone, even for the kids Level-5 want to attract. The game hence becomes boring and hardly justify the gap of difficulty between bosses and random fights. A shame, with its great graphics and interesting concept, it could have been really addictive.

No Man's Sky kept us waiting. For the better? Not really. Hello Games' production is far from the wonderful space opera and exploration game we were expecting, far from the game we've been promised.

Disintegration's idea of mixing FPS with RTS seems like a good way to bring something new onto the market, but the way it's been done is wrong, and the game suffers from too many shortcomings to really shine.

Even if it keeps the same drawbacks as it's ancestors LEGO Jurassic World is a fun game, only spoiled by the repetitiveness of it's gameplay and the new voices of the characters. LEGO Jurassic World ain't the brightest game of the IP but it's not the worst either.

Need for Speed is a one-night stand but it's definitely not the love of your life. A depressing open-world, some uninterested cops, an empty scenario : this reboot is not what you've been waiting for, except for the very impressive visuals.

Far from the original root of the series, Metal Gear Survive suffers from a very repetitive gameplay be it in solo or in multiplayer, and the not discreet at all micro-transctions don't help. At least the story is worthy and might hold your interest.

Whereas Knack does not justify buying a next gen console, this PS4 exclusive is not lacking interest. A clever mix between a nice classic gameplay, a very hard level of difficulty and cartoon graphics to go with the Disney-inspired scenario should get the attention of platform fans. Still plagued by a number of faults like a linear story and a badly set camera, Mark Cerny's game seduces us with its hard level and its uncommon hero. Loaded with badly-used qualities, this game is a call for a second opus which should have a better finish, more development time and a better knowledge of the console it's designed for.

This Zoo Tycoon next-gen is aiming for two audiences: casual players and true management lovers. It's understandable but very risky obviously. Zoo Tycoon's fans will be disappointed to have such a minimal control on the management and the building of their park, while casual players won't try the Challenges because of the difficulty. At last, Kinect is just a gadget once more, not a real revolution...

Despite some cool game modes, Mario Party : Star Rush still carries the drawbacks of it's predecessor, Mario Party : Island Tour with no online multiplayer, and a very dull solo.

Yes the picture is sharper, yes the game is smoother (60fps), yes there have been some improvements to make the adventure more enjoyable, but damn the gameplay has taken a hell of a beating in the back of the head. It was already painful in 2011, it is even more 10 years later, and it is not the tinkering in classic controls that will sublimate the gameplay of this Zelda : Skyward Sword HD.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes still retains the talent of Suda 51 and it's esthetics, but if you're not a fan of his, you'll find the game rather boring - without mentioning the 4/3 aspect ratio during gameplay.

Tropico 5 is a good niche game, well into the series but without any revolution. The small evolutions are enough to justify the buy from a fan of the IP, but most gamers that want to discover a dictator's life will be better off with Tropico 4 which you can find with all DLC for less money. On the other hand, if you do want to try ruling the island with friends, there should be no hesitation: you need to get the last game of the Tropican dynasty.

With this first try, we can see that Dontnod tries to reach the quality of Quantic Dream and Telltale's work. But they're not there yet. You're not really free to do what you want and the game suffers from a certain number of clichés; the fact that we cannot really find any use for the rewind system is just the icing on the cake.

Despite some qualities, among them the new supernatural theme, enthusiasm is not really the word that comes directly to our mind while playing The Sims 3 : Supernatural. Of course, it is pleasant to play as a werewolf, or to create terrific potions that could turn our Sims into zombies. However, the surprise is no more, especially when you know a eighth expansion set will be released soon with not so many new features.
