Unlike Skyrim VR and Fallout 4 VR, that are VR ports of the original games, DOOM VFR is a 5h long story that uses new gameplay mechanics to adapt the much loved gameplay to VR with some success.

Shelock Holmes : The Devil's Daughter is a nice step to evolve the IP into something more substantial. Conservative enough to satisfy the fans, and new enough to draw in young players.

Gran Turismo Sport fails to make our heart beat with a lack of content, and not many real existing cars or tracks, which feels odd for "The real driving simulator". The Fair-Play system isn't yet working properly, but hopefully it will before the start of the eSport season. At least players can still enjoy a nice physics model and an enjoyable feel to the drive.

Lara Croft and The Temple of Osiris does comply with all the promises made by Square Enix. It's a nice mix of puzzles, platforms, action and loot that still works even if the developers stayed away from risk-taking. Even if it's not The game you want for Christmas, you can still enjoy it, even more so if you're giving it a shot in co-op.

SnowRunner is a nice improvement from MudRunner, with more ground variety, and the introduction of snow. It still is for a specific audience though.

Apotheon is a nice adventure game offering uncommon visuals, meant to look like Greek ceramic. Even with its faults (strange physics, useless items, subtitles only in English), the game from Alien Trap brings a lot of fresh ideas and features.

Shadow Warrior 3 is a nice mix between Duke Nukem, Serious Sam, DOOM Eternal or Bulletstorm, and that's a good thing! The production of Flying Wild Hog, like its hero, never takes itself seriously and makes a clear contract with the player: immediate fun, non-stop action, blood, sweat and laughter.

Pokémon Let's Go! is truly a very good remake of the genuine Red & Blue versions with updated graphics and one of the best soundtracks in the IP. We weren't sold on the Pokémon GO capture system and found the endgame a bit empty.

Making a crossover between The Escapists and The Walking Dead was a great idea and the result is tremendous fun, whether you're a fan of the comic or not. Beware though, as the genuine flaws from the Escapists are carried over in this game like the repetitiveness of the gameplay.

Pokémon Let's Go! is truly a very good remake of the genuine Red & Blue versions with updated graphics and one of the best soundtracks in the IP. We weren't sold on the Pokémon GO capture system and found the endgame a bit empty.

While some players will probably enjoy Firewatch, others will find it very boring. Campo Santo's production will divide the audience, that's for sure. But we have to admit the game is below our expectations. With slightly stronger writing and some real choices with important consequences, Firewatch would have been something exceptional.

This new Mario Party is more of a best of compilation than a new iteration. The players will split into two groups : those who will have a feeling of déjà-vu, and those who will appreciate the nostalgic effect. On the other hand, there is no doubt that for newbies, Mario Party Superstars is really a great first experience with the Mario Party formula.

It's tough to provide a definitive review on a chapter-based game, but The Council is off to a good start with its gameplay based on social interactions and a very nice artistic touch. A good spin on the Telltale recipe.

Like its ancestor, Wargame: Red Dragon looks more like a DLC disguised as a stand-alone, than a real new game. If the fans like that opus, the majority of gamers will find no interest in this IP which is getting even harder to jump in. That being said, the Asian context of the solo campaign, and the arrival of sea units which enrich the gameplay are welcome additions. Like before, it's by going multiplayer that we'll see the effect of those units since the AI is still a bit of a mold. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Journey to the Savage Planet feels a lot like Subnautica and No Man's Sky, but with its own twist. The exploration is good and the level-design is pretty good, even if the Humor is kinda special. Definitely a game that's worth its price.

Kirby Planet Robobot tries to bring some new features, and that deserves to be said. Nothing crazy of course, but it gives this new entry an identity for itself. The game is still very easy, is still quite short but it remains a very nice moment of gaming and nobody will ask for his money back.

Anno is still a great IP which ventures into lunar lands. While the concept is good and the changes are welcome, we would have gladly traded Uplay and DLC's for a multiplayer mode and more maps.

Don't let Masters of Anima's looks deceive you as it is a true strategy games which offers a strong challenge that will test players to their limits. The gameplay is very good and the only drawback are some difficulty spikes that go from a true challenge to outright frustrating.

In spite of a few story weaknesses, Hidden Agenda is a very good interactive movie that makes a cleaver use of the PlayLink technology by allowing multiple players to join in. A perfect pick for an evening with non-gamer friends, but we would have loved a bit more interaction, while the app uses a lot of energy from your phone.

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.

Even if it could have been called Act of War 2, Act of Aggression is a classic and strong RTS which can be related to Command & Conquer Generals. One thing is certain: this game is meant for online battles more than the solo campaign.

Burnout Paradise Remastered is still on of the most fun racing games on the market and the enjoyment of Takedowns and huge crash is intact. The only drawback is that this remaster is a bit lazy as the visuals haven't improved that much.

LittleBigPlanet 3 is not a revolution, rather an evolution. Sumo Digital gives its contribution to the series with three new and really different characters and brings the players more naturally to the Creation workshop. Fine, but we're expecting something deeper now.

Pretty, deep, demanding, and accurate: Mario Golf World Tour places itself as one of the safe bets of the 3DS. You will keep training again and again to get the infinite amount of subtleties of its gameplay. But not everything is perfect. The crazy items that Nintendo was promoting are simply useless, and there will be some complaints about the price of the DLC's and Season Pass.

Partisans 1941 is a nice Commandos-like that's pretty good as the atmosphere from the WWII is very good. on the other hand it feels a bit rushed when you look at Desperados III. Consider it if you're willing to close your eyes on some problems.

Even if Mario & Sonic at The Olympic Games isn't the party game of the century, it's still a nice pick with lots of sports available, a touristic tour of Tokyo, and 10 retro challenges with vintage pixels.

Far from being a joke like Goat Simulator, Maneater is a true RPG with good visuals, a nice storyline, and everything to have good times. Beware, it can be quite repetitive at times.

If there are no big changes in the way Traveller's Tales develop their games, LEGO The Lord of the Rings remains a great adventure game that offers enough innovations such as its new cinematographic approach or a new open-world, the Middle-Earth, that proposes lots of side quests, to entertain players for hours. Hopefully, the use of unofficial voices, less humor and the repetitiveness of some action sequences won't weaken the game experience.

Silence is a great follow-up to the Sadwick's Chronicles: Whispered World with a great story and awesome visuals. The gameplay is quite simple with easy enigmas and a short lifespan, but those drawbacks are nothing in comparison with the game's qualities.

It's hard to get a definitive idea about HITMAN. On one side we see an episodic game plagued by server problems and a sketchy optimisation on PC, on the other it may well be the best opus from the IP since Blood Money.

It's hard to give any notation to The Unfinished Swan, as it's another arty conceptual game from Sony Studios, with terrific ideas of gameplay. Unfortunately, those good features aren't going any further and you will probably finish it in about three hours. Some of you won't be interested in paying for such a short game, especially if you aren't of the poetic kind. For the others, it's an experience that deserved to be played.

Take the aesthetics of Double Dragon and Streets of Rage, add some combos from a Tekken or a Street Fighter game, and then you have a good idea of what awaits you in Okinawa Rush. The splendid pixel art, the detailed animations, the variety of the gameplay are in favor of the game of the Miller brothers, whose love for the ancients beat'em up is felt on many points.

PES 2014 shows that Konami knows exactly what they're aiming for and what to do to catch up with EA's FIFA. FOX Engine doesn't provide exactly what we were expecting from it, but it offers a real good physics engine. No need to say it will probably reach its peak on PS4 and Xbox One. This all new PES is a true football simulation, with some problems and glitches, but also with some good ideas like the Emotion system. These kinds of ideas, added to gameplay features from FIFA, could make the difference in the next ten years.

There are not many new contents and features in Dance Central 3 that make it one of a kind. And yet, with a new Story mode, the developers offer a good opportunity for players that are eager to learn their moves alone without the need of inviting all of his neighbors. If Dance Central 3 appears to be less than Just Dance 4, the title remains interesting with its clever and difficult progression.

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.

Riders Republic is a bit like Forza Horizon by bike, ski, wingsuit… and less successful, we're not going to lie to each other! The game is far from bad, but its "cringe" dialogues, the endless Ubisoftian micro-transactions, and its sometimes surprising physique prevent it from really reaching new heights.

For those who doubted its success, Tokyo Jungle appears to be a great survival title on PS3. With chihuahuas, lions, and even raptors to play with, players will be pleased every second to star as the potential animal king of a post-apocalyptic Tokyo. Moreover with its great game length, and its intuitive gameplay mechanics, Tokyo Jungle proposes an exotic journey, despite a disappointing graphical experience.

Paper Mario Sticker Star is a pleasant surprise with its great visuals and its great sense of humor that players will certainly enjoy. Thanks to improved environment interactions, introduced by the use of stickers, the game is fun to play despite some RPG and platform elements not so interesting. Too easy, Paper Mario Sticker Star lacks a good enough story to be fully entertaining.

True Survival-RPG without peaceful moments, Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition will convey either fascination or hatred, being an terrible hardcore game. Players that were looking for a simple Action-RPG title will have difficulties to appreciate its tough gameplay, whereas the ones looking for the ultimate challenge will welcome Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition with open arms. It's a shame the PC version doesn't bring any particular features compared to the console versions.

Time is running, and Skylanders now has some competitors to fight with. The new weapon of the brand is called SWAP Force. With its new figures to combine, the game takes a fresh start. Variety is expensive though: you'll have to buy again and again to avoid to be frustrated. Even with a certain amount of new features, the adventure keeps being very straight forward. But it's the most interesting episode anyway.

There's Ghost of Tsushima, Sifu and Limbo in this Trek to Yomi! And yet the proposal remains quite singular. The voices only available in Japanese, the graphics entirely in black and white, and the cinematographic filters which voluntarily dirty the image form a coherent whole, which will inevitably appeal to fans of old samurai films. The game lacks a bit of scale, but we still have a great time in his company.

The first season of Life is Strange is an experience between Quantic Dream productions and Telltale games. Something like a third lane, that becomes only darker and deeper with time. We're looking forward to see what Dontnod can make with the rewind in a second season.

Super Mario Party feels like a game tailored for the Switch with so many types of gameplay, fully using all of the console's possibilities. A must-have for families looking to have a good time around a table during the holiday season.

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.

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.

Pokemon Ultra-Sun and Ultra-Moon are inherently good games since they're base on the ones that came out one year ago, but the new content is not enough to justify buying them. On the other hand, if you haven't bought last year's opus, they are the choice to make.

AER memories of Old is a very good little poetic game which will hook you up with it's amazing graphical style and the ability to play as an eagle to improve the freedom feel of it all. Only the shortness of the adventure may stop you from buying this at full blown price.

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.

Kaze and the Wild Masks is a nice platformer with cool pixel art visuals, but if the gameplay is good, the difficulty waves from too easy to incredibly hardcore, which is quite a let down. Overall a nice game, even if it's no match for the best productions of the industry, like Ori.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst can surely appeal to the hardcore fans of the original game, but a crappy AI, an automated skill tree (what's the point?) and a lame Frostbite Engine made us loose Faith in the game.

Blair Witch feels more like a tip of the hat to Eternal Darkness : Sanity's Requiem than one of the most gruesome games out there. The characters (including the forest) are pretty good, but the sub-par graphics (even on Xbox One X) are a true let down.

Saints Row 4 takes a turn towards TPS through a scenario change. As President of the United States, the game will put you in a hero role which will make the gameplay deviate towards a gaming experience closer to Prototype than to it's own ancestors. The legacy is not forgotten as the crazy side of things is still pretty much a central point, and of course the specific sense of humor which is the game's signature. With a main quest taking around 15 hours and many more side missions providing a wealthy lifetime, Saints Row is grieved by lots of small faults, chief among them the awful graphics it displays.

Once again, Level-5 brings a very good title to the Nintendo 3DS with Fantasy Life. It maybe not the greatest RPG ever, but it's fair to say that there is a gamble there, an idea to make this game different, even with all those classic elements around. At the heart of this vision, the job system, which makes Fantasy Life so addictive. Unfortunately, the game is far too easy, too slow and not so interesting from time to time.

If you ABSOLUTELY want to play any Borderlands game on your new console and you have no other platform available, then you may consider The Handsome Collection as an option. Otherwise, grab the three games on PC or PS3/Xbox 360 for half the price of this expensive compilation.

Mixing influences such as Canabalt, Broforce, Hotline Miami and Gunpoint, not a hero sadly misses to get the most out of this quite prestigious list of games. In spite of an oriented sense of humor and a weird story, the game manages to be quite joyful with a nervous gameplay and a good replay value thanks to the random character system.

Assassin's Creed Rogue will be a good value for those who didn't try Black Flag; for the others, it will be a serious case of déjà-vu, as the game doesn't bring anything really new in its gameplay mechanics.

New Tales from the Borderlands is a very good spiritual sequel to Tales from the Borderlands. The genre remains particular, of course, the total absence of challenge, and the passages actually playable can put some people off. But if this simplified gameplay suits you, then there's no reason to miss out on this humorous adventure, rather well written, populated by delirious characters, and surprisingly aesthetic.

In its plan to regain the confidence of players, Microids releases Marsupilami : Hoobadventures, a platform that is certainly inspired by Nintendo productions (Donkey Kong Country for example), but do it really well. Armed with a solid gameplay, the game offers really nice graphics. A really good surprise.

FIFA 17 isn't the wind of change we could have expected. In spite of the new Journey mode and the transition to the Frostbite Engine, the game is still fundamentally the same: a simulation with a certain idea of football, attack-minded and individual. And we're becoming sick of it.

WRC 8 is a good rally game, especially if you like to have loads of official content, and an approach that's not as sim-oriented as DiRT Rally. We only regret that most of the new stuff is geared towards the management aspect of the game, and not the pure driving.

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.

Three Kingdoms is one of the very best Total War game, but it's aimed at the seasoned player, as we can find pretty much every gameplay system from the series in it, which could be a little overwhelming for newcomers.

Halfway between a Dungeon Keeper and a Theme Hospital, Evil Genius 2 is an honorable sequel. Its management mechanics remain very effective, while the atmosphere "James Bond / Austin Powers / No One Lives Forever / 70s" is always as pleasant. A good deal.

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.

No big change for Just Dance 4 that offers enough new things to push players to buy it. and enjoy it with its girlfriend. With 40 new songs to dance on and the introduction of a new Battle mode, Just Dance 4 is THE game to insert in your console when you want to spend a good evening with your friends.

For a try, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is not a masterpiece, but it does work quite well. The gameplay is flawless, the game is well made and the class system is worthy, everything wrapped with strong humor : we were not expecting a first try that was so successful. On the other hand, the content is extremely light which reminds us that PopCap Games has still some ground to cover before reaching the level of the competitors. With three game modes and a handful of maps, you quickly see everything.

Bravely Second's subtitle is End Layer. Hard to tell Silicon Studio they're wrong ont this point. Even with its new storyline, the game is far too close to the previous one to attract players who already played Default. The others will really enjoy it though, as it's totally playable and understandable, even if you didn't try the first one.

If Chrono Cross The Radical Dreamers Edition allows a new audience to discover a cult PS1 game in good conditions, the latter could have been better. On the one hand, this remaster benefits from updated graphics, an improved soundtrack but also new accessibility options and exclusive content that makes it interesting both for neophytes and for those who know already the title. But on the other hand, between the lack of a tutorial, perfectible menu ergonomics, but above all a still unstable framerate, this update could have offered a better rendering. It remains to be seen whether patches will correct some of its problems in the future to make the experience even more pleasant.

So, what can we take away from this Nintendo Switch 2 re-release of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2? First and foremost: these games remain absolute masterpieces of 3D platforming. Eighteen years after the first installment, their level design is still a model of clarity and creativity. Every galaxy, every mechanic, every jump is perfectly calibrated to delight without frustrating the player. The magic still works, and the emotion remains intact. However, when it comes to the port itself, the disappointment is hard to ignore. This is essentially just a 4K/60fps polish, a cosmetic texture cleanup, and compatibility with both the Switch and Switch 2, nothing more. No 3D model overhauls, no new lighting effects, no significant additional content. Rosalina’s Storybook and the assist mode are nice touches, but they feel anecdotal compared to what you’d expect for a 40th-anniversary celebration. And the price, €70, is particularly steep for a duo that doesn’t include any real expansions or “next-gen” remastering. There’s a slight feeling of incompleteness, or even deliberate laziness, which the most demanding fans will notice immediately. If you’ve never played these two galaxies before, dive in, they’re pure joy. But if you already know them, it might be wiser to wait for a sale rather than support Nintendo’s new pricing approach.

Used to atypical games, the publisher Annapurna Interactive surprises us once again with Twelve Minutes. Yes indeed the game has some rigid animations, not really worthy in 2021, game is quite short, and the system of dialogues isn't perfect, but the stifling atmosphere, the atypical staging, the surprising scenario and the puzzles are really worth the detour in our opinion.

Two years after the first game, Rocksmith 2014 does not convince us that it improved over its ancestor. Of course the menus are simpler and the overhaul of modes was a necessity. The lessons are plentiful and more detailed, the playlist still rocks and the teaching method is good for beginners. But some flaws are still present, whether it be the tuning recognition, or the need to have a specific setup to avoid latency; and new ones appear (unpolished Riff mode, useless impro mode, way overpriced). To sum up, those who bought the first episode of the series won't find anything groundbreaking in this new Rocksmith.

It's hard not to fall for the charming Leopold, more attractive than ever now he's reached PC and new consoles. With only two or three hours to spend in it, Leo's Fortune may seem short but its very low price tag should convince you to give it a try.

Candleman is obviously a nice little game with an undeniable poetic touch and nice gameplay mechanics that evolve as each chapter goes by. The game is quick to beat but for 15 euros it's tough to be picky.

Astral Chain shows a vast potential, but the game suffers from various problems, from a badly written storyline to a imprecise gameplay. On the plus side, its universe is very appealing and has a nice variety of things to do.

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.

Thanks to an old-school style and humour, Shadow Warrior makes the difference with all these modern FPS which keep showing off.

Watch Dogs: Legion a true Ubisoft experience, with all its good and bad sides. The open world has a good feel to it, but the fact that you can play any random character has definitely taken a toll on the game's soul which feels a bit shallow now.

West of dead is a nice twin stick shooter with a roguelite touch and a very nice atmosphere, enriched by the strong voice of Ron Perlman. On the other hand, the game still has numerous bugs, and a wacky camera.

By listening to its community, Bohemia Interactive is selling us the most well-polished ArmA yet to this day, with numerous options for in-game content creation. With an exceptional graphics engine allowing a superb rendering and well evolved physics ArmaA imposes itself as the reference of infantry sims. With a very demanding gameplay, ArmA 3 claims its elitism and raises it as a dogma to face the competition. Quite unfriendly to the newbies, Arma can disappoint by its obvious lack of initial content, which should be vastly improved by the community through the content creator toolbox. Unique for its tough challenges hence the feeling of deep satisfaction when you complete a mission, ArmA 3 sets itself as the playground of elite gamers.

Starlink: Battle For Atlas feels a bit like No Man's Sky with a bigger development budget. The game is a very decent space-opera and the toys are cleverly used. The narrative is quite a let-down though and the price is still high, even for players who only want the digital content.

We can't say that Mad Max is a disappointment. Avalanche gave its game some great qualities such as quality visuals and RPG features to develop your hero and your car. But the game left us with a bittersweet taste of something that could have been much better if the studio had tried to take some more gambles.

Did you like Splatoon? Did you enjoy Splatoon 2? And what about Splatoon 2 : Octo Expansion? Did you like it ? Then you'll love Splatoon 3! True to itself, the game does not really seek to convince a new audience, and is careful not to offend the regulars. Yes, despite the arrival of several small new features (weapons, maps, replays, Map mode and territories, etc.) Splatoon 3 clearly relies on its achievements.

Far Cry 3: blood Dragon is a huge trip in the 80's that the developers have allowed themselves by modding the awesome Far Cry 3. Only sold online through Steam, the PSN and Xbox Live for 15 miserable euros, this game is a true acid trip that finally puts the humor as the central point in the storyline hence a game which is incredibly fun to play. Combining the strength of Far Cry 3 in its original form with a creative surge from a game designers with balls, Blood Dragon delivers what we were expect if since long ago: some pure unadulterated fun and that was clearly the objective of Sgt Rex Power Colt whose presence is enough to make this game one of the best investments of the year.

A Way out is a very good coop game that still suffers from some issues mainly due to the youth of the studio. The game is still one of the most rewarding coop experiences we've had this year.

As with many remasters, the only reason to buy Gravity Rush Remastered is if you didn't have the chance to play the original one when it came out in 2012. Everything is exactly the same albeit with HD graphics.

We suspected it a little, but it is sure now : Overwatch 2 is more an update of the first installment than a real sequel. Fortunately, the game became a free-to-play game and the news business model helps to forget this lack of new features and the fact that Blizzard has recycled a lot of things, like all the characters and stages.

If Batman Arkham Origins is the first game you play in the series, then you'll find it very enjoyable because it has all the great qualities of Arkham City with a new story and even some very few new features. But if you already played Batman Arkham City, then you'll find too many similarities to justify to buy a new game.

Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo is a nice improvement over the previous rally games from Milestone. With an arcady touch, the games strength is its content and its ease of use, while more experienced players will head over to Codemaster's Dirt Rally.

If you have taken the time to read our article, you have noticed that there are many negative points with Rise of the Ronin, but the game also has good arguments for its defense and to assert itself in relation to the competition, starting with its gameplay, which is the main thing in a video game. Obviously, the game will suffer from comparison with Ghost of Tsushima, which, whatever anyone says, redefined samurai games. Sucker Punch's game was not perfect, but its open world was much better controlled, more enchanting, more captivating and above all more interesting to explore. Rise of the Ronin is a test attempt on the side, with an empty open world, quite flat and ultimately not very interesting to discover. Technically too, it doesn't keep up, and it's even very weak, especially when we know that it is a game developed exclusively on PS5 and that it still required 9 years of production. Team Ninja still has a lot to prove in the field of open world games, but manages to interest people through the richness of its gameplay and its numerous possibilities. We hope that this first attempt will allow the Japanese studio to do better next time.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors isn't the game of the year but it's probably the best game in the series. Some can say it's just a Dynasty Warriors-like, with all the problems that come with it, but it's a good one. The use of Quick Time Events is clever and brings some kind of renewal to the gameplay. Most of all, Pirate Warriors is the most accurate episode and it will be no problem to convince the fans.

Ground Zeroes is full of promises. The fact is that Metal Gear has barely ever been so enjoyable, so smooth to play. The open-world gameplay fits perfectly with the essence of the series and this clearly brings something more. Epic, beautiful (even if we can hope for more once PS3 and Xbox 360 won't be the main targets), flexible and easy to comprehend and to manipulate, Ground Zeroes is, nevertheless, only some kind of blown up DLC. As long as it's sold as a full game, even with a price cut, it will not meet expectations.

Here They Lie is without a doubt one of the most traumatic experiences we've ever had in videogames. We dove deep into the horror, and only the motion sickness got us back out of VR.

Despite a good technical side, Star Wars Battlefront suffers from quite a number of balancing issues, where for instance AtAt's are quite too tough on Hoth. Let's hope a patch comes out to correct those issues.

Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy is what it has been made for. A very accomplished story and a huge number of new puzzles make of this episode a safe bet for the fans. There is therefore a dearth of new features. But this final episode will satisfy newcomers and old fans.

It's hard to be fully satisfied with First Light if you've played InFamous: Second Son. The game as a whole continues to be very fun but some features wouldn't have been erased. We've got some regrets for the karma system obviously and above all, the missions lack something new. Nevertheless, for such a price tag, First Light will keep you busy for some time and perhaps you'll be happy to learn about Fetch's life.

You could say Death Stranding 2 is to the first game what Metal Gear Solid 4 was to MGS3: a louder, flashier sequel that tries to impress, but ends up being less moving, less inspired, and less on point. It feels like Hideo Kojima gave in to the urge for self-references, fan service, and over-the-top moments—at the cost of narrative coherence and depth.And that’s really the biggest letdown: it’s not just that the game has flaws, it’s that it gives up on being unique. In the end, Death Stranding 2 isn’t a bad game by any means (it’s actually super solid on a technical and artistic level) but it still feels kind of flat, occasionally lazy, and almost pointless. It loses part of what made the original so special: that weird, uncompromising experience that didn’t look or feel like anything else out there.Where the first one was bold enough to throw you off balance, this one plays it safe. What used to feel like a total gaming oddity now feels like a hybrid product, stuck between big creative ideas and the need to please a wider audience. Kojima probably wanted to take us on another journey, but by refusing to really go somewhere new, it mostly just feels like we’re going in circles.

Fire Emblem Warriors is a hit for the fans of Musö games as well as fans of the Fire Emblem IP with a joy-inspiring combat system. The only let downs are a crappy AI and some very weird storylines. A good beat'em all on Switch overall.

Dying Light 2 keeps all the qualities of the first episode, and won't disappoint the lovers of zombies, parkour and weapon tinkering. Despite relatively detailed faces and some beautiful panoramas, the game has some issues, like an annoying open world, which multiplies the tricks already seen elsewhere, especially in Ubisoft productions. We were expecting something more new and fresh.
