After Marsupilami The Secret of the Sarcophagus in 2021, the Ocellus studio is now tackling the Smurfs license, at the request of Microids of course. After taking inspiration from Donkey Kong Country 3 years ago, it was a certain Super Mario 3D World that served as the basis for this epic of dreams, and once again, the result is satisfactory. Whether visually or in its gameplay, everything is done with care and a certain quality. There are even some flashes of brilliance in certain passages, such as the mirror level, the free fall in Tetris mode and the infiltration mission, not to mention these huge bosses to face who are also not lacking in game design ideas. No, really, it's clean and square as they say, even if deep down, it lacks risk-taking and diversity. In the meantime, this Smurfs: Epic Dreams does its job very well and does what is asked of it: a platform game suitable for young and old, playable in cooperation to mix generations, and therefore have a good time.

The GRID series goes arcade with this new game. A ruthless and less exigent gameplay are proof that GRID 2 places itself between Gran Turismo and Need For Speed, leaning towards the arcade style of EA's title. In spite of a moderately interesting solo mode, mostly ruined by a criminal IA, the games scores back with a very fun multiplayer very old school inspired. The lack of real link between the two modes is actually a strength as one don't need to hit the solo to unlocks stuff in multiplayer. GRID 2 still carries the original's DNA but it focuses on arcade in order to seduce amateurs of racing games that want to avoir the tech malarkey.

Song of Horror is a good surprise with a creepy atmosphere and a very unpredictable foe that keeps you on your toes. The only worry is about the future chapters yet to be released, and the locked camera that feels quite old.

Before you go and buy Dead Rising 3 ask yourself what you expect from the game. If you seek a fun sequel to Dead Rising 2, with some new things, then the game is for you, no hesitations. Still as fun as before and populated with a large number of zombies, it delivers a good dose of action. On the other hand, if you're hoping that this launch title stuns you with it's graphics or revolutionizes the franchise, you will be disappointed because it simply is not the case. If the fun is present, the "wow, that's unseen" effect is clearly missing.

The only actual problems with Styx come from the fact that it's not a big budget game. Sometimes, we can clearly feel it. But fortunately, the price tag balanced this little glitch and we can honestly say that the quality of the game is not questionable. Open world and very straightforward at the same time, Styx urges us to try different ways, to play the missions several times to discover all of its secrets.

Unsurprisingly, Lightning Returns : Final Fantasy XIII is like the trilogy it ends: full of appeal but ruined by flaws you can't help to notice. We're speaking about the technical aspect that the ip has stacked since its arrival on PS3 and Xbox 360, which still harms the game and our eyes. We're even more disappointed to see that it ruins the good artistic direction of the game. We also have to mention the difficulty, set on extremely hard in a hope to increase the life of the game. But Lightning returns also has some great features, the 13 days left to Lightning to achieve its mission, and the quests to be achieved give a good rhythm to the title, while the costume system give a true strategic dimention to the fights. Don't miss it and hang on tight.

Far from being a simple clone of XCOM on which we would have added a Marvel skin, Midnight Suns is a different tactical. Forgetting about XCOM's game mechanics for an interesting card system sets Firaxis apart from other games. And then the fights benefit from rather pretty visual effects, and different interactions with the environment which add a small additional tactical layer.

While not perfect, The Testament of Sherlock Holmes offers a great and charming adventure. The spirit of the famous detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle remains intact, as the game proposes many improvements in terms of gameplay. With great puzzles to solve and interesting ideas regarding the way players can control the different characters, the Testament of Sherlock Holmes won't disappoint.

Available for a top price, Final Exam is a great deal for any beat'em all lover. It's not the journey of the century but the work has been well done and you'll have a good time playing it at the end. We can only advise you to try the free demo available online, which is a very good offer in our greedy 21st century.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is one of the most refreshing games since the Wii U has launched. It's hard to not get frustrated though by the lack of gamble from a gameplay point of view, by a certain lack of pace. And last but not least, it's a shame we have to look so much at the GamePad screen.

Now that we’ve finished Lost Soul Aside, it’s clear that the game is far from the disaster many claimed on social media. After more than twenty hours of play, it’s obvious that Yang Bing’s project (started as a student hobby and later turned into an industrial-scale production with Sony’s support) retains all its passion and identity in its gameplay, even if some peripheral aspects aren’t as polished. At the heart of the game lies its dynamic combat system, rich in possibilities. The four weapons (longsword, greatsword, double spear, and scythe) each offer distinct approaches, which can be combined into fluid, spectacular combos, made accessible through mechanics like perfect parries and the assist system that activates after multiple deaths. The draconic companion Arena adds another strategic and visually impressive dimension, turning battles into true aerial ballets. Yet, the game is not without flaws. The graphics, while generally basic, feel like a previous-generation title, suffering from an uneven and sometimes questionable art direction, as well as occasionally repetitive environments. The storytelling and character charisma are limited, and platforming sections can be frustrating due to the hero’s slightly floaty physics. The English voice acting is also disappointing, making it strongly recommended to stick to the Chinese original or the Japanese voices, which are much better executed. Despite these shortcomings, Lost Soul Aside succeeds where many modern action games fail: it delivers immediate, pure fun, with a gratifying combat system and combos that grow richer as you progress. For fans of fast-paced hack-and-slash, it’s an experience not to be underestimated. Perhaps not worth €70, but definitely closer to €40, let’s be honest.

Unravel Two improves its concept with co-op play and a very good level-design but suffers from a lack of consistency especially in the challenge it offers and its visuals. A worthy game nonetheless.

If Borderlands: the pre Sequel were a DLC that does not bear its name, it still is a very pleasant game with new features like low gravity, oxygen to look after, jetpacks and freeze guns. Add a crazy and very funny playable Clap-Trap and you've got quite a nice game.

WWE 13 clearly rests on its laurels and does not propose enough innovations to make players dream. And yet, the content remains exhaustive, the gameplay is well-oiled and the new Attitude Era mode will propose interesting sequences for all wrestling fans. That's why, despite the lack of new features, WWE 13 remains one of the best wrestling simulation games to date.

Mix between a Walking Simulator and a slightly more gameplay-oriented production, Martha is Dead is a narrative adventure reminiscent of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice for the psychiatric theme, What Remains of Edith Finch for the neat and engaging subject, and the many games horrifying to the gory scenes that we find everywhere. The story of Giulia and Martha is shocking, while the game mechanics with the camera will especially delight photography enthusiasts. A remarkable adventure!

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.

As a Borderlands 3 spin-off inspired by a Borderlands 2 DLC, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands can't revolutionize anything. This is its main default, especially since the Borderlands saga is already particularly prolific. But if you are not yet bored by this formula and these slightly dated visuals, then you are guaranteed to have a great time.

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.

Dark Souls 2's regular players will enjoy Scholar of the First Sin for having better graphics, better reactivity with the 60fps and a renewed challenge. For the others, it will be harsher than ever and maybe far too expensive.

Dragon Quest XI is not really a breakthrough in terms of content but its a good game for gamers that are not fond of the Japanese games. This opus is easier, and offers a colorful universe, even if it lacks some depth overall.

With one episode of Just Dance every year, it's obvious that you can not expect many changes for each of them now. Even if Just Dance 2014 is one of the best games you can share in a party, the IP is kind of stuck in its concept since Just Dance 3. Beware of the burnout.

Professor Layton VS. Ace Attorney reach only half of its objectives. From a purely scenaristic point of view, the mission is rather accomplished, as Level 5 offers a great piece of story without going nuts with the cross-over stuff. Unfortunately, the two gameplays stay far from each other and never really mix. That's kind of awkward for a cross-over title.

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 pricetag should convince you to give it a try.

If you are looking for originality with this Assassin's Creed Mirage, you will be disappointed, the game only focusing on the nostalgic fiber and the roots of the license. Less RPG elements, smaller open world, 15/20 hours of gaming maximum, the return of the Middle East and gameplay centered on stealth mechanics, some players will appreciate the return of the old Assassin's Creed philosophy, others will not because the game is less complete, with old school stealth mechanics. Assassin's Creed Mirage is simply Assassin's Creed in the most basic way the formula has to offer. It's not bad in itself, but after 3 years of waiting, we were still entitled to expect something more surprising.

Halfway between Zelda and a Rogue-like, The Swords of Ditto has its own touch thanks to its great arty touch, its universe, its humor and a few interesting gameplay mechanics. On the other side, the technical side of things isn't very impressive, but patches could improve these issues.

Immortals Fenyx Rising is a fun game that joyfully brings us into the Greek mythology, buts it also feels quite unpolished, with many aspects being either too familiar from Ubisoft games or just badly made.

We were expecting one of the best games indies can make but the truth is Unravel is just a good game. Good, but very far from something like LIMBO or the recent Ori and the Blind Forest.

Total War Attila is a complementary episode, not a major one. And its target is clearly not to change the successful mix from Total War: Rome 2, rather develop it in another direction.

Looking simple, Splatoon is actually a quite hard game to master with all its small things to know before you can actually do some damage. But the very limited content and the need of 7 other players to really have fun shaves some appeal away from Nintendo's latest TPS.

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.

Hohokum is an excellent cross between LocoRoco and Journey, one of the very best indie games on PS4. It really captivates the player thanks to its visual touch, its wonderful soundtrack and the simplicity of its gameplay. Despite of offering only a few hours of game, Hohokum remains a UFO that will satisfy every lover of poetic productions.

In spite of being quite short, and having an over-complicated system to switch between powers, Carrion is a very good game that offers something different from the mainstay. We specially like the animations of the monster and the fact that we play as a huge beast.

Whereas most of sport games are going next gen (FIFA, NBA 2K, NBA LIVE), others like WWE are aiming at current gen improvements. A nice initiative, and improvements have been made for this WWE 2K14 which display a crazy casting. With over 100 wrestlers in the game, there is material to play for quite some time with that game which also displays better animations. Those are not breathtaking but it has to be mentioned since it's in a transition title. On the graphics side, it's a disappointment, the wrestlers are badly made with ugly textures and a creepy public. Thankfully the ambiance around the ring is pretty neat and largely compensate for technical problems even if those bugs and dated gameplay would require an update. Now that 2K is in the business and has taken the IP, let's hope that next gen games will make this series shine again. It's worth it, and we would like it a lot.

Maybe The Paper Mario series is not the most bankable or popular in the Mario universe, but it has a visual and gameplay approach that is no less interesting. If we were able to discover a new episode in 2020 on Switch, Nintendo is today offering us the opportunity to rediscover a major episode, that of the GameCube which will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year. If the gameplay has not changed one iota and remains as enjoyable as ever, even if we deplore a certain redundancy in the progression with a lot of comings and goings.

Not without flaws, EVE Valkyrie has the merit to be a real full VR game, and not another one of those "experiences" which are just tech demos. A first stone upon which to build future VR space shooters.

To fully appreciate Ratchet & Clank Trilogy, players really need to be huge fans of the IP, and espacially of the first three episodes released on PS2. If playing them remains a pleasure, this HD remake won't be a big surprise for those who were waiting for major graphical improvements.

Ganbarion, the creators of the most famous fighting games on DS, are back with Pandora's Tower, an action-RPG that will seduce those who loves great adventure.

If it's clearly imperfect on many levels, No Straight Roads still manages to make us happy with its clever use of music and its colorful world.

It's a nice month for fighting game lovers. After playing Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, they can move forward to Arcana Hearts 3 Love Max. On the inside, they'll find a technical title with a lot of combos possible to pull off.

Dragon Quest 7 is a sixteen-year-old game, and you can feel it every time you play it. Those who love the J-RPG genre will find a beautiful adventure, that will hold them more than a hundred of hours, with an addictive job system. The others will probably find it too long, too slow, too cute. Too old, to make it short.

Mario has become so important for Nintendo that there's not a year without the famous plumber coming to a game console owned by Big N. If we were happy to see the hero coming back, we quickly realized New Super Mario Bros 2 only takes the successful mechanisms of the previous title without the originality. Especially when chasing gold coins is not really fascinating.

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.

Without revolutionizing the shooter-looter genre in any way, Outriders does things efficiently and offers frenetic non-stop action that goes frankly well with co-op play. Too bad the game is repetitive and subject to technical instability, which spoils the game experience.

Despite the fact that Capcom Digital Collection gathers titles that are not necessarily close to perfection, being able to play HD versions of Super Street Fighter II, Final Fight or Flock are make spending some money on this compilation of famous arcade games worth it.

It's a real pleasure to meet again with George Stobbart et Nico, above all when it's in a 2D game, which cleverly comes back to the origins. But let's face the truth : Broken Sword 5 is a very nice point'n click, but it's still not perfect. Puzzles are too easy and the game is technically old fashioned.

Yet another port with New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe which is a straight port from the Wii u to the Switch with a resolution going from 720p to 1080p and a bit more content like the Luigi spin off and the addition of Peachette and Nabbit. As usual with re-releases, check it if you haven't yet.

Only 6 mini-games in this compilation but if you like Pong and old school experiences, you will be excited to meet the very famous CommanderVideo.

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.

The PlayRoom VR is the proof that VR can be a family thing, and not something dedicated for solo nerdy people. If the content seems light don't forget that the game is ready, and an excellent way to introduce VR to newcomers and family alike.

For the first time ever, the Silent Hill franchise has been developed by a western studio and since Silent Hill 3, this is probably the most attractive episode that we recommand you to play as soon as you can.

Tecmo wants to seduce a new audience with Ninja Gaiden 3 and the game became so easy that the true fans will be totally disoriented. The others will at last appreciate a great ninja action game.

Crysis 3 follows the path of its predecessor. Visually stunning on consoles and absolutely gorgeous on powerful PCs, Crysis 3 is a true landmark. But despite its sexy outline, this FPS runs out of innovative gameplay and a proper scenario. To sum up, Crysis 3 is a beautiful hollow thing.

Magrunner: Dark Pulse may be a modest game, but it's a nice game nevertheless. In spite of a story which doesn't really matter and a "Chtulhu touch" underused, Magrunner does well with his gameplay and it's enough to give us some good moments. And forgive the weakness of the last part of the game.

Captain Tsubasaa: Rise of New Champions is pure fan-service and offers a great adaptation of the original material. On the other hand, its shortcomings are numerous, and if you hope to find here a good soccer game, you might be better off looking elsewhere.

Ancestors is the basis of what could be a very good survival game once it's been patched, or for a second opus. It's hard to learn, very repetitive, but once you got the first few hours in, it starts to reveal its potential.

PGA Tour 2K21 has improved on many aspects, especially around the gameplay experience, and the way it allows for a more precise monitoring of the hit's power, but the visual are still appalling, and the licensed content is pretty limited.

Gears of War Judgment looks like a transition episode and something bigger is probably waiting for us on Xbox 720. In the meantime, we'll have to deal with a disappointing campaign which only allows us to destroy waves of Locusts without being entertaining. Gameplay is still very accurate but some better things have been made elsewhere since the first Gears of War, and Judgment seems to be the game too far.

Heave-Ho is a very good party game that's most enjoyed with 3 or 4 players, and which offers a lot of fun. The downside is that the fun goes down with the number of players, being quite boring when you're alone.

Ride 3 feels like Gran Turismo with bikes, especially with the updated graphics and physics thanks to the Unreal Engine 4. We only regret that the AI is one of the worse we've ever seen, and that Milestone already offers 3 DLC packs on launch day.

Anthem feels a bit award as a Bioware studio game because the narrative is clearly something that wasn't given priority, to the benefit of combat and exploration. The game still needs more content to live up to the promise made by a publisher as big as EA.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 is an average survival-horror game, that tries to force the IP to move on but doesn't really succeed in doing so.

With better polish and an add genius touch, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified could have been a great game. But for now, it's old technique, it's bugs and numerous incoherencies don't let this game into the hall of fame of videogames. Happily, the worthy gameplay, the 60's ambiance and the XCOM universe are here to salvage the game. The mix between action and strategy works well, and the choice in dialogues brings a cool RPG touch. In the end we go through missions with quite an enjoyment in spite of all this, and we don't leave the bureau that easily.

Disney Infinity 3.0 Star Wars has much to offer, mainly with it's great quality figure, but also on the software side of things. Well rounded, the game suffers from an excessive difficulty as it's intended for children, but adult supervision is highly recommended.

We were convinced by the proposition of this Silent Hill The Short Message, which takes up the concept of the P.T. by integrating it into a modern story, a mirror of our society. Everything is not perfect, far from it and we would have liked to have more gameplay mechanics, puzzles, some more concrete moments of freak out, but as a party game, it does the job well. And let's not forget that it's free.

UEFA Euro 2012 is an excellent soccer game, especially for players that already bought FIFA 12, giving them the chance to spend only twenty dollars to get it. For the others, the need to buy FIFA 12 to enjoy it, will make the argument more difficult to make. The few imperfections are not easy to forget, considering the fact this kind of players have to pay a lot more to play UEFA Euro 2012. Still, it remains a good game as a FIFA 12 in disguise.

Fe offers a great journey in an enchanted world with a great artistic look and the total freedom to explore the surroundings. On the other hand, the gameplay mechanics quickly become boring and the absolute lack of any challenge may pose a problem to some gamers.

With Sorcery, the PS Move comes back to life, offering a diversified gameplay. Despite some minor problems, the title remains entertaining thanks to the great use of the PS Move controller and a thrilling adventure. Sorcery is not the best game of 2012 on PS3 for sure, but from now on, players have good reasons to get the PS Move out of the drawer.

If Pikmin 3 seems to have not had a graphics uplift, the content is plentiful and the gameplay has been modernized to suit the modern standards, even if those few improvements have to be paid at a premium price, with a triple A tag of 60€.

Little Hope capitalizes on the strengths of Man of Medan, and improves the recipe on a few key aspects, which makes for an overall better game.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a nice muso that pulls all the right strings to seduce the fans of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. If you can forget about the lousy visuals and the repetitiveness of it all, you might enjoy the nice gameplay it offers.

While the overhaul of the diplomatic system is a very welcome feature delivered by Rising Tide, the uselessness of the hybrid affinities, the tediousness of moving aquatic cities and the quite impressive price tag of the extension only restricts it to the most hardcore fans.

Ubisoft has to be careful not to exploit the Far Cry franchise too much. New Dawn is an intermediate Far Cry, which will satisfy the fans waiting for the next major part, but it's nothing exceptional. Nice to play, but clearly not a must-have.

Even if Concrete Genie offers nice arty visuals, and a good freedom in the murals we can paint, most of the other aspects are let downs, from the gameplay to the level design and the narrative.

The Crew 2 still falls short of expectations in spite of the improvements made over the first iteration of the game. The open-world feels empty, the multiplayer features are useless as there is no PvP and the rest of the game feels way too generic to stand out from its competition. Forza Horizon is still a safer bet.

Dragon Ball Z Xenoverse 2 feels more like a big update to the first game than a true sequel, and if the fights are worthy, the MMO side of things feels like a last minute add-on as the empty Cloud City shows.

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.

On PS5 and Xbox Series X, FIFA 21 enjoys a healthy bump in graphical quality, with a Forstbite engine that's impressive as ever. But outside of this visual improvement, the game hasn't changed, and the same problems are still there.

If you're a mainstream gamer, we have no reason to recommend Telltale's Game of Throne as it's far from being the best game of the studio. On the other hand if you're a fanatic of R.R. Martin's books you won't regret your purchase as it's better than the HBO series.

Pokémon Pokopia is a bold spin-off that flips the usual Pokémon formula on its head. No battles, no duels, just a world to rebuild, habitats to create, and Pokémon to hang out with. The game really shines in its creative freedom: you can terraform, build, decorate, and even use Pokémon abilities to shape the world however you like. It’s cozy, easy-going, and instantly fun, especially if you’re creative or younger, and the first few hours are a real blast. The downside? It gets repetitive pretty quickly. The same mechanics repeat from island to island, quests and habitats feel predictable, and there’s not much challenge to keep things exciting. On paper, it’s a refreshing change of pace, but the slow rhythm and repeated tasks can bore players who like a bit more action or progression. For us, the first 10-12 hours were fun, but after that, the next 15 hours started to feel a bit samey.

More a party game than a real sports game, Nintendo Switch Sports naturally follows in the footsteps of Wii Sports and Wii Sports Club. And it's true that we have fun, as long as we have a few friends at hand and a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. These two conditions are indeed necessary to have fun over the long term, because the absence of any scripted mode means that solo play has almost no interest.

Lost Sphear is a good J-RPG but it feels way too generic to stand out amongst the field of available competitors.

The Hong Kong Massacre is a somewhat generic top-down shooter game that's aimed at scoring, as the narrative is pretty bleak, while the action is very repetitive. The only defining feature are the bullet-t-ime and dives that the hero can perform.

DOOM Eternal still feels great on the go in its Switch version, but of course, you'll have to be ready to make do with sub-par visuals. Thankfully, Panic Button defined the 30 fps framerate as a top priority, which guarantees a playable game at all times, even if the resolution has to dip very low at some times to keep the frames coming. It's blurry, but it's fast.

Artistically, it is certain that Compulsion Games offers us its finest copy, with a game that constantly flirts with the beautiful and sometimes the sublime, all cradled by a soundtrack as captivating as it is enriching. But if the coating is more than successful, the gameplay proposition is much less so, since South of Midnight languishes in a rather staggering classicism. With its limited and repetitive gameplay loop, the structure of its levels that is far too linear and conventional, disappointing bosses and a bestiary of distressing poverty (there are 6 different enemies during the 15 hours of adventure), we realize that Compulsion Games has favored form over substance. Be careful, it is far from being catastrophic, but there is nothing exciting either, and it is all the more regrettable that certain mechanics, although conventional, manage to work at times. South of Midnight is clearly a game built for Game Pass: it plays well when it's part of the subscription.

Let's be clear: Pokkén Tournament is not a compelling VS fighting game. There's too few characters, not enough content and the campaign mode is far too boring. But, it can be seen as a good surprise as it offers solid bases of fighting game, likely to attract veterans and newcomers.

New Style Boutique 2: Fashion Forward hasn't revolutionized the genre since the last game, but the new activities are welcome and the game is very easy for the casual audience it targets. For the most seasoned player it will feel very repetitive.

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a very good throwback to the early 90's when Street Fighter II was taking the world by storm. This version doesn't really improve the recipe, but this title remains a cornerstone for videogames.

It's not a bad idea to bring some new stuff into the tactical genre. Above all, when it's done by such a talented studio that Intelligent Systems. However, gameplay here is far too irregular to be a new standard. As all their productions, Codename S.T.E.A.M. requires a high level of focus and anticipation to master the battlefield. But we can only regret the lack of attention towards writing, background and visuals.

With Vader Immortal, ILMxLAB offers a nice VR experience that allow the player to really feel like the Dark Lord, with it's lightsaber and it's force powers. On the other hand it still feels like an experience more than a game, and is there fore very short, with a pricetag that seems a bit hefty.

Outward is a true old-school RPG with feels as well-rounded as the best games from the past but also as dated, as the technical side of things isn't really up-to-date. If you can forget about the wrapping and focus on its internals, Outward is clearly worth a shot.

Six years after the last LittleBigPlanet, the IP comes back as Sackboy A Big Adventure, but the game isn't as good as its legacy would lead us to believe. The DualSense isn't put to good use, and the game truly feels like a PS4 title. If you're looking for a platformer for a kid, it's still a good pick.

While being full of good features and clever ideas, Elite Dangerous feels like its release has been rushed in order to get ahead of Star Citizen. The games lack player interactions and the happenings have very little impact on the gameplay, maybe the humongous 400 billion systems map should have been scaled to the numbers of players. A game that shows great potential, but has yet to achieve it.

Certainly, DiRT Showdown is not the best racing game of 2012. However, Codemasters proves it knows how to develop a good one. If there's nothing bad to say regarding its content, choices in terms of gameplay can be questioned. indeed, some good ol' drivers could easily fall asleep whereas newcomers will enjoy the spectacular races DiRT Showdown has to offer, introducing a new social network, Racenet, to the multiplayer mode.

As a DC Comics crossover game, LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is quiet fun to play like the previous title of the IP developed by TT Games. Even if the usual weaknesses remain, the title brings interesting features like full dialogues that offer a pleasant experience in the series, sometimes to the detriment of humor. Finally, the open-world universe lets players discover Gotham City, LEGO-style, despite some problems with camera positions and characters that happen to be stuck into walls.

If the fact of constantly replaying the same type of online games in order to progress your characters does not scare you, then Evil Dead The Game will not disappoint you. The gameplay is solid, the references to the films of the saga are numerous, the graphics have nothing to be ashamed of, the demonic creatures and the soundtrack are very creepy, and the knockouts bring a good dose of gore.

Despite its "VR Experience" tag, Paper Beast manages to bring a new wind to the genre by allowing the player a great freedom of action, even if some of the enigmas feel baldy designed.

FIFA 21 feels a lot like a transition game that was hastily put together to leave time for the PS5 and XSX future. It corrects a few hiccups from the previous game, but overall it's not enough to lure anybody in but the most hardcore fans of FUT.

Casual players won't clearly be amazed by the graphics offered by Game of Thrones. As regards the RPG players, the ones that could spend entire nights playing, they will be happy to find intuitive game mechanics. The tactical aspects of fight sequences are also really enjoyable to learn and the players' choice are well-embedded in the story, faithful to the saga. This is what truly matters.
