With WRC 7, Kylotonn keeps improving the breed with a renewed gameplay that puts more emphasis on a realistic style of driving, but there is still work to bring the official WRC game up to what it was before the Milestone era.

Everybody's Golf is a catchy golf game with a real challenge and has a good feel to it, but some points let it down like the repetitive solo mode, and the useless Golf Island open world.

Pokkén DX Tournament has very few bells & whistles to make you pay for this Switch version. Five more Pokémons, 3v3 combat ans a better online mode won't be enough to make this Wii U game look new.

Turn 10 can still do wonders, and the last is Forza Motorsport 7 shines with a very impressive technical side, offering incredible visual effects, a lot of content and great gameplay.

ECHO is a pretty special game that tries to go on a new field for infiltration games. If the gameplay is very good, the narrative and the lack of save points are a let down.

Cuphead is a real tip of the hat to the 30's cartoons like Fleischer and Tex Avery offering a very good die & retry gameplay and it's awesome OST. A very good small game overall.

Divinity: Original Sin II is most likely the game of the year with an enormous amount of very good content, awesome graphics and class leading combats. One of the best RPG games ever.

Project CARS 2 is clearly on the best racing games money can buy, even though it's not the best sim on the market. With a very generous content and lovely visuals, the game mainly suffers from a lot of bugs.

NBA 2K18 keeps dominating the basketball game genre with perfect gameplay and better graphics each year. The career mode on the other hand is less than convincing with its pointless RPG style. The best basketball game on the market nevertheless.

Even if Total War: Warhammer 2 was made in a short time, it is clearly better than its first iteration thanks to the four new races, the new story mode and the many gameplay improvements.

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.

Whether or not you already played Dishonored, you can trust Death of the Outsider which grants us a very good story an impeccable gameplay and enough new stuff to keep the seasoned player on edge.

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.

Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite has some good things like the return of the 2Vs2 fights and a very strong gameplay, but also some bad things like the story mode which feels like it's been added at the last moment to avoid what happened with Street Fighter V.

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.

PES 2018 puts the series on the tracks to redemption with a very good gameplay that will put pressure on FIFA 18 for sure. On the other hand, the official licences are still lacking and the UI is quite dull.

Metroid Samus Returns is a very good remaster of the original GameBoy game with a load of new features that make the game more user-friendly. We only wish the hard mode would have been included in the game, and not exclusive to amiibo owners.

SPARC is a very good first step in the world of Virtual Sports. in spite of a very light content, the game works wonders, is very addictive, and will make you easily sweat under your VR goggles.

Destiny 2 is the rightful heir to its big brother. While it's not a revolution, the new features and work Bungie has added to simplify things are very welcome, as is the story which is now much more substantial.

To be honest, buying Resident Evil Revelations in 2017 on PS4 or Xbox One is a waste of money. The remaster work is incredibly light, leaving the game with appalling graphics and a very old-fashioned gameplay.

We were expecting a lot from Redout, maybe too much because this game is far from taking the crown off WipEout's head because of a crappy AI and a poor feeling in the steering.

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.

Life is Strange : Before the Storm Episode 1 is a good prequel to the original game that retains most of the strength. The only flaw is the bigmouth system that chloe can use to bend people to her will, and which seem overused.

That's You is an interesting game to play when you're with multiple friends at home, with funny interactions thanks to the PlayLink system that uses smartphones as controllers. It's still quite limited as you really need to be along some people you know well before you start playing this.

Besides some new features, Knack 2 fails to avoid some flaws like the soporific storyline and a sub-par technical aspect. On the other hand, the gameplay is still good and some places offer a decent challenge to the player.

Being able to play Windjammers in 2017 on PS4 and PS Vita is a wonder made possible by the frenchs at DotEmu who made this awesome port. We would have liked an enriched content and a better netcode but let's hope a future patch will correct those issues.

F1 2017 is clearly the best opus of the IP in the last 4 years at least. With increased content and the return of the old cars from the glory days, the game only suffers from a vastly improvable multiplayer mode and an old graphics engine.

In spite of a strong lack of new content, Sonic Mania is a very good trip down memory lane which will appeal to all the die-hard fans out there who spent their childhood with the supersonic herdgehog.

Absolver is a very specific game with it's own stengths and weaknesses. The universe and the gameplay are truly awesome but its lacks some accessibility and some tutorial on how to use such a complex system.

Ovosonico, the studio behind Murasaki Baby, gives us a pretty fable full of emotions. Inspired by the movie "Groundhog Day", Last Day of June is a game with seductive graphics and unusual gameplay. Our favorite game of this summer.

Difficult to be enthusiastic about this new compilation of Namco's games, because there are two problems. First of all, the selling price is too high and the choice of the games are not very interesting. Forget about it and save your money.

With StarCraft Remastered, Blizzard adopts an exemplary policy. The selling price is reasonable, the original games become free, the extension is included in the remaster, the key "before / after" for the graphics has not been forgotten and, most importantly, the new graphics do not alter in any way the original work. A true must have for the StarCraft fans.

The Escapists 2 doesn't makes big changes to the initial recipe of the game but offers enough improvements to justify the investment for the seasoned player as well as for the newbie.

Yakuza Kiwami is a very good remake of the first opus of the series that offers vastly improved graphics and an overhauled gameplay allowing more freedom during fights. A rejuvenated PS2 classic.

Whether you're fan of the Rabbids, Mario or the XCOM franchise, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is one of the very good games available on the Nintendo Switch with its funny universe and solid gameplay.

Lawbreakers offers quite a lot to the fast-FPS gamer with a good gameplay and the famous low gravity areas, but it also lacks some personality to really stand out from the rest.

We thought the Uncharted series was over but Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a very good add-on to the IP built upon the foundations of Uncharted 4, but with a new interesting story centered on Nadine and Chloé.

Volition got lost with Agents of Mayhem which is just another very generic Action/TPS game where nothing that really stands out. Everything is average and boredom awaits right around the corner.

Redeemer is a very good top down brawler that was close to competing with the biggest names in the business. Sadly, the strong difficulty and impossibility of saving when we want implies an unpleasant die & retry flavor in some places.

Hard to say if Gigantic is woven to success but it deserves it by providing an interesting variation of gameplay around the MOBA genre. The third person camera and a few clever tricks are enough to make the game avoid the "failed Overwatch Clone" sticker that's already been given to Battleborn.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice offers an unparalleled ambiance that is impacted by the character's mental illness. With a few imperfections, this games is one to play because you will ultimately remember it, unlike most AAA games.

Like its predecessor, Splatoon 2 is easy to play but difficult to master. The game is full of new weapons with which you can do more damage with than before. Unfortunately, it’s not a real sequel but just an update of the Wii U version. The graphics are the same and we would have liked new gameplay mechanics.

MXGP3 feels awfully similar to MXGP2, and in spite of the Unreal Engine 4, the game is still lame in it's graphics. Nevertheless, the licensed content is quite impressive and should appeal to the most hardcore fans.

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is a great remaster on all counts with some very nice new features like the possibility to speed up the game by 4 times to shorten the exploration phase. A must-play for J-RPG fans.

Master X Master mixes influences from Diablo and League of Legends to offer a very wide experience that mixes a lot of PvE dungeons with regular PvP and MOBA gameplay. A pretty good free-to-play overall.

Crash has aged well in Crash Bandicoot: N.Sane Trilogy as it is one of the best remasters we got to review this year. Even if the content of the three games included is the same, the graphics overhaul and new animations are worth your cash.

Get Even could have been a great game but it suffers from too many flaws to be able to really capitalize on it's strengths. It still offers a good narrative and amazing sound.

DiRT 4 is built upon the ground laid by DiRT Rallye, and thus offers a pretty good experience when driving rally cars. With improved menus, the only drawback is the limited amount of special stages and the less than impressive truck and buggy races.

Star trek Bridge Crew is a must have for all serious Trekkie out there with an immaculate respect to the IP. On the other hand, most players will find the game repetitive and quickly boring due to the limited gameplay.

TrackMania 2: Lagoon is a good game overall but if feels awfully similar to any other TrackMania game out there and specially the Turbo opus. On the other hand, if you missed that 2016 episode and have Canyon Stadium and Valley, Lagoon is a must have.

Despite discrepancies between the various control schemes, none of which is plainly satisfying us, ARMS is a strong combat game thanks to its plentiful content and rich gameplay.

Endless Space 2 is one of the very best 4X games money can buy, specially if you like space related stuff. The only drawback is the lack of accessibility for newbie players who might find it hard to get aboard.

With Tekken 7, Katushiro Harada shows an impressive understanding of what makes a good gameplay mechanic on 3D versus fighting games. Only the technical standpoint is prone to critique in this game.

Clearly inspired by Fumito Ueda's games, RiME manages to get it's own feel thanks to a splendid artistic work and a beautiful music. A masterpiece that's only let down by the short playtime it offers.

Finally we get our hands onto Fire Emblem Gaiden in Europe. With Fire Emblem Echoes : Shadows of Valentia Nintendo brings back to life what's only a spin-off in Japan. While not the newest of games it still offers a very good game to the tactical-RPG fan.

Regardless of the good concepts and the journey provided by Impact Winter, the game is ruined by an appalling UI and awful controls, making it unplayable. Its gets better with a controller but overall it's not worth it until some major updates arrives.

Ultra Street Fighter 2 is a very good game, and the Switch port is quite a success if you stick to the versus mode. Otherwise it's not a breakdown, the visuals are from 2008 and the Hado voice mode is simply a disaster thanks to very poor motion controls. But the core of the game is just perfect.

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.

Farpoint isn't an exceptional FPS but far from the traditional experiences, it's one of the very first rea'vl VR games that offers everything a real game should. A must have if you got a PSVR headset.

If Injustice 2 doesn't provide a quality of gameplay on par with KOF XIV, it's easily one of the best versus fighting games at the moment thanks to its very generous content that makes Street Fighter V blush in shame.

Drawn to Death has a good Artistic touch but the lack of balance between characters and the fact that the servers are almost always empty makes it hard for us to recommend this game that's most enjoyable when played in multiplayer mode.

The Surge is basically built upon the Dark Souls model, but brings it into a futuristic world with some nice touches like the combat system that allows to cut limbs. It's still is quite difficult and intended for masochistic players.

There are average, good, and very good remasters. Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap belong to that last category, bringing back a masterpiece of videogames history for a few bucks.

Strafe is a good FPS but it's more of an old game than an old-school game. Seasoned FPS players will like it but newcomers and young people will surely find it too difficult, and too frustrating.

PREY is a great game that blends many influences such as System Shock, BioShock, Half-Life, Deus Ex and Dishonored, and it's only let down by the technical aspects. Maybe for PREY 2?

Outlast 2 is a very good follow up to the first iteration which improved graphics and a very good story if you're brave enough to read every paper you grab. Sadly the Die & Retry side of things brings the fear down a notch.

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.

Syberia 3 is appealing to the fans of this IP, but newcomers will be shocked by the technical issues that makes the game unimmersive and quite frankly, difficult to play with those awful controls.

With a very nice artistic touch, and a dark ambiance, Little Nightmares could have been a very good game, if it weren't so short to beat, and if didn't give us that feel of playing a mock up of Playdead's INSIDE.

Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom could have been a great RPG but each strength is countered by an even stronger flaw which inherently makes the overall game quite bad. Perhaps the studio was too ambitious for its means.

Warhammer 40,000 : Dawn of War 3 is clearly a very good strategy game which follows in the footsteps of it's predecessors. The only drawback is the obvious lack of content which calls for future DLC.

With richer content, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a very good version of the game that will seduce the gamers into buying it for their Switch. We especially liked the new battle mode, and playing it on the go is just bliss.

Ben is back after 22 years with improved graphics, improved sounds, and a very low price tag. What's there not to like ? Not much. Maybe the gameplay on the Mine Road that shows it's age. A must-play for any gamer.

Ben is back after 22 years with improved graphics, improved sounds, and a very low price tag. What's there not to like? Not much. Maybe the gameplay on the Mine Road that shows it's age. A must-play for any gamer.

If The Franz Kafka Videogame has some appeal, overall, the vast lack of content makes it look more like a smartphone enigma game, rather than a real PC game as you can beat it easily in under 2 hours.

Persona 5 is clearly one of the best J-RPGs of its generation with a reworked combat system that adds a lot of rhythm, and the whole side of the student life at the academy. The only drawback is the dated visuals.

There is not much to praise in FlatOut 4: Total Insanity. The FaltOut mode is fun and brings back some good old memories, but everything else is trash. Sad for an IP that had its fans back in the day.

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.

Not the best nor the worst Mass Effect to date, Andromeda is a still a good game with a load of content. It lacks a bit of personality to stand out, and needs quite a bit more polish from a technical standpoint.

Frederick Raynal's new game is a pretty good re-imagining of the genre he spawned with Alone in the Dark. 25 years later, this 2Dark focuses on human deviances while stepping away from the traditional blood bath and supernatural stuff. A pretty good game that still creeps players out.

If you're done with Zelda Breath of the Wild, we suggest you go for Snipperclips as it's a good concept to demo the Switch's abilities along with some nice puzzles to resolve. The paper cutting aspect is clever and the game is sold for way less than the boring 1-2 Switch.

Since it's first adventure, Styx has grown and now offers quite complex infiltration mechanics, along with a very well done level design that allows for a lot of replayability. The only drawback is the crappy humor and appalling punchlines. A pretty good game overall.

Fast RMX isn't the biggest of gambles for Shin'en but the race is an honest one with a decent price tag. Not as good as F-Zero or Wipeout, the game will still appeal to the fans of futuristic racing on Nintendo Switch.

Mario Sport Superstars is a low-ambition compilation, created with light versions of games already released (Mario Tennis Open, Mario Gold World Tour) and some new trials, from the very bad baseball to the refreshing horse races.

What a waste! 1-2 Switch should have been sold with the Switch. Instead, Nintendo decided to sell it 50€. Once you played the entire 28 mini-games, only 10 of them are funny. Yes, it’s a scam.

NieR Automata is not only an excellent Beat'em all, it also has a great story with a huge background that will keep the player hooked. Add an exemplary level design and a huge area to explore to the mix and you'll get one of the best games of this year.

Ghost Recon Wildlands is a very good open world co-op game (that can be played in solo), with loads of content. On the other hand, it feels quite like any other Ubisoft open world game and lacks a bit in personality.

To our biggest surprise, Dragon Ball Fusions could be one of the best Dragon Ball Games with over 170 fighters in the roster and countless fusions possibilities. On the other hands, the story is very dull and the farming quite tedious. You might want to give it a try if you like the DBZ IP and own a 3DS.

In spite of all the strong framerate dips, and poor textures, Zelda: Breath of the Wild is simply the best game of the IP. A true masterpiece that transforms the series we all know into something else, a true adventure for grown ups, a game you must play.

Berserk and the Band of Hawk could have been the new Dragon Quest Heroes or Hyrule Warriors. Even if they were far from perfect, those two wanted to do something modern with classic musou gameplay. Instead, Berserk falls in the same category than Fist of the North Star.

Halo Wars is a pretty good RTS which clearly targets the newbie player by offering plenty of modes that don't require to manage the economy. While the Halo side will appeal to the fans of the IP, the game is pretty much the only RTS available on consoles today. We doubt PC players will go for it as there are many better alternatives.

In spite of a solo mode which is a big tutorial, For Honor is a very good multiplayer game with a strong gameplay and solid graphics, which should ensure it has a brilliant future in online competitive play.

Known for the Killzone IP, Guerrilla Games has created a masterpiece in Horizon: Zero Dawn with its unique universe, its massive and rich open-world and its gorgeous graphics.

After a few main episodes and some zombie spin offs, Rebellion has got it and makes Sniper Elite 4 one of the best sniping/infiltration games around. It might even get some new players aboard the IP.

Tales of Berseria inherits some of the problems and qualities from the previous entries: it's a 00's game from a technical point of view, but it's got a very deep fighting system. The most notable difference comes from Velvet and the darkness that surround her. At least, Bandai Namco managed to create an outstanding heroine.

Road to Boruto is a very good ending to the Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 saga that will please fans thanks to it's fidelity to the movie. On the downside, the story is a bit short and you can't play Kinshiki nor Momoshiki.

Much easier and down on the graphical standpoint too, Poochy & Yoshi's Wooly World is still a very good platformer game, even if it's aimed at a younger audience hence the addition of Poochy, a good pup that helps the player around with combat and discovering secrets. The genuine game on Wii U is the one to go for, but if you only own the portable console, Poochy & Yoshi's Wooly World is still a safe bet.

Like many other indie games, Diluvion is packed with great ideas but suffers from a lack of polish and budget, to the point where we would have loved to see it as a triple A game.
