    Some will say that this Zelda Tears of the Kingdom looks more like DLC++ than the real sequel to Breath of the Wild, and they won't be completely wrong; at least in the first 10/12 hours of play. But by opening its world to the sky, the game changes perspective, opens up new horizons and the open world becomes even more exhilarating to explore. Yes, Tears of the Kingdom will not revolutionize video games like Breath of the Wild did 6 years ago, but it reinforces its gaming possibilities in the most solid way, and above all offers a new way to rediscover its open world. Tears of the Kingdom is to Breath of the Wild what Majora's Mask was to Ocarina of Time, a complementary but above all essential adventure.

    If the first hours of play lead us to believe that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is just a simple PS5 update of previous episodes, we quickly realize that the game goes much further! More beautiful and more detailed, the game stands out above all for its ultra spectacular staging. The gameplay is also more intense thanks to mechanics that improve the combat system. The treatment of Venom is fabulous, and he is the perfect epitome of what we expect from this iconic character. It has never been so well transcribed on screen, and for that, Insomniac Games must receive the highest praise. The other characters are not left out, whether Kraven, but also Peter Parker and Miles Morales. The studio has understood this universe so much that it must serve as a model for the MCU and Sony Pictures films, which have often failed in cinema.

    The Witcher 3 is a captivating game and a gorgeous title. Thanks to a very inspired artistic department, offering an even more accurate view on the gloomy world Geralt lives in, this third part proves itself as one of the most beautiful games ever made. But there is more: if CD Projekt took its game open-world, it's not simply for the sake of doing so. They handcrafted a very lively, very concrete universe in which you can enjoy your freedom to be the witcher you always wanted to be.

    Funnier and brilliant, Borderlands 2 is twice as good as the first episode was, something which isn't always the case for sequels. But Gearbox Software manages to improve their IP in many ways, offering one of these titles you could not possibly forget to buy in 2012, and proposing new features that will allow players to blow off some steam for hours.

    If you can buy one game in 2012, it should be Dishonored. From production to its ingenious gameplay, Arkhane Studios' title is outstanding, with its multiple references to many games such as Deus Ex, Thief, Bioshock or Half Life 2. It's simple, Dishonored is a 2-in-1 game you can finish either with violence and lots of action sequences, or with discretion, applying stealth strategies to kill your enemies without being seen.

    FIFA 13 is maybe close to FIFA 12. However, for EA Vancouver, the first one was an evolution when the second one was a revolution. The Canadian studios manage to improve the already good bases of the IP, especially the ones on which players were looking for improvements. In another way, FIFA 13 is a game you'll need to play for hours to discover all the details that make it the greatest football simulation game to date.

    For once, FIFA 14 could divide its fan base. Being more and more realistic, the game becomes more and more demanding. Don't misunderstand us: this is the main reason why FIFA 14 is better than FIFA 13. Passing the ball, building your chances: that's what this new FIFA is about. And exceptional players are only a solution if you make them play for the team. With the new features in Career Mode and the release of a 2-players Seasons Mode, it's certainly the best FIFA ever, and the best football game for now.

    With its new face, Okami HD has never been so close to perfection, deserving its legendary status thanks to its beautiful visuals and its amazing soundtrack. Coming back from the dead, Cover Studio's title remains thrilling, offering a good opportunity to discover Amaterasu's adventures on PS3, especially for players that never had the chance to buy it the first time.

    Fire Emblem Awakening is, by many ways, a classic Japanese Tactical-RPG. However, Intelligent Systems has done a fantastic work to put the characters at the center of the game. By making them unique and lively, developers force the player to be more accurate and to pay attention to his tactical choices.

    People who liked the first episode will be pleased to discover new game features, but also a new hero: DEATH. As regards the fans of RPG-based games, they'll find in Darksiders 2 an interesting Action-RPG title with great gameplay and a unique background despite some minor graphic imperfections.

    Watch Dogs has had a lot of adverts revolving around the promise for some crazy unseen next gen’ graphics. But if Ubisoft’s title is not the eye-watering masterpiece we were sold for the last two years, it easily makes up for that with gameplay that cleverly mixes action, stealth and hacking. Actually the whole structure of the game was built around this balance and the result is a success. As a matter of fact we would have enjoyed a more intriguing plot, a more charismatic hero and a bit more depth in the story. But open-world game fans will find some satisfaction in the huge amount of content and a well-integrated multiplayer mode. Some game design choices can be weird (no jump, impossible to shoot while driving, or disappointing close combat animations), but for a first try, Ubisoft Montreal’s team has done it well. Overall, among the GTA competitors, Watch Dogs is the most serious one.

    If Dishonored 2 doesn't offer the same surprise as the first opus, it is without a doubt one of the best action/stealth games money can buy, with huge replayability thanks to the multiple heroes and endings.

    Visual Concepts has done it again with an awesome NBA 2K17. If the graphics don't evolve at all, the gameplay get richer alongside a vastly improved IA. The basketball game to go for without a doubt.

    Built upon the same cradle as many other rhythm games, Thumper is one of the best experiences we've had this year. Feeling a bit like Audiosurf, the game pushes the player to go beyond everything he knows about his reflexes, while being hypnotized by the greatness of the soundtrack/visuals combination.

    Sonic Racing CrossWorlds isn’t just another entry in the franchise, it’s a full-on evolution of the karting formula that finally outshines Mario Kart World. Faster, more demanding, and packed with depth thanks to its gadget system, CrossWorlds mechanic, and unprecedented vehicle and character customization, SEGA has delivered a game that rewards skill, strategy, and risk-taking. Yes, hoverboards feel awkward and the UI could use some love, but on the track, the action is relentless, the races unpredictable, and the fun absolutely infectious. There’s no contest : Mario Kart World has finally met its master, and it’s called Sonic Racing CrossWorlds.

    Beyond: Two Souls is really difficult to judge with the usual tools because it’s such an unusual game. Let’s say that this one manages to impressively overcome its faults to deliver a truly unique experience. Gameplay in Beyond is only a way to include you, to make you participate to this emotional journey and to make you touch the heart of the game, its masterpiece: the story and all the narrative aspect that comes with it. The kind of game you remember for a long time.

    Mortal Kombat 11 is a very solid new iteration in the series that does change quite a lot in the gameplay, favouring a more strategic approach. The game is still filled with content, and an instant fun, and the best looking fighting game out there. Really a no-brainer.

    Like most other remasters, God of War 3 Remastered offers a tremendous experience from a game that has undergone a complete aesthetic overhaul. The updated tech candy along with the gloriously genuine story makes for a great game. On the other hand, if you already played it, don't bother with this one.

    NBA 2K19 keeps going higher and settling itself as the ultimate basketball game with a rejuvenated career mode, even if we still find the city a bit too big as there is no transportation means. If you're a fan of the NBA, this is clearly the game to choose.

    We expected an exceptional title and Capcom did not lie to us: Resident Evil Village is a great game and above all a great Resident Evil. A true mix between the horror of the seventh episode and the meticulous action of the fourth part, this new opus is the result of a particularly well calibrated and complete experience.

    Sid Meier's Civilization VI is simply the best 4X game spawned by Firaxis. With enough new stuff to clearly stand apart from it's predecessors, Civ VI only suffers from a stupid AI when set to the easy settings. A must have for any strategy enthusiast.

    Despite it's lack of official content and the dullness of the career mode, partly due to the sloppy AI, Assetto Corsa is simply the best racing sim ever developed. Everything smells the love of cars, from its jaw breaking physics to the amazing graphics, and just that feel of the car. A new benchmark for racing sims.

    FIFA 15 is the best football simulation to date. But it's not the revolution we've been waiting for, the one which will make us enter a new era. This new entry pushes the realism a little further but the gap with the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions is far too tiny to talk about a renewal. The FIFA series is moving forward, but it's going slowly. Slower and slower. We hope for something big soon, but isn't it a little bit utopian?

    Unsurprisingly, Fallout 4 is closer to Fallout 3 than it is to the former episodes. And it comes with all the qualities and problems we already know. But Fallout 4 belongs to this hypnotizing kind of games that you should not miss if you love Western RPGs.

    Seven years after the global phenomenon that was Monster Hunter World in 2018, Capcom finally delivers its sequel, not in its numbering that's for sure, but the spirit, it's definitely there! It's simple, Monster Hunter Wilds takes all the ingredients of the winning formula of its illustrious predecessor, while making it evolve in the right direction. The story and narration now take a more important part, with just the right amount of endearing characters, intrigue and outcome to let us be transported into this campaign that ends in about twenty hours of play. Then, Capcom gives players free rein to do what they want through an even more consistent and interesting endgame, since it knows how to renew the experience and extend the lifespan almost infinitely, especially with the DLC and other expansions to come. Between the appearance of other monsters, the climate changes that are taking place, the end of the decline and the arrival of abundance, the game then offers itself a second youth.

    Assassin's Creed Unity is a clear step forward for the IP with an impressive level design. The Paris of the French Revolution is an ideal setting, and Ubisoft's teams have put up an amazing work with harder assassinations, tougher fights and, of course, the co-op mode. A new breath in the series.

    GetsuFumaDen : Undying Moon announces about a year of updates before it reaches its truly final version. These future patches will be necessary to correct the progression and balance of the game, which respectively prove to be too laborious and too punitive at the moment. But these very real flaws do not prevent Konami's rogue-like from being very pleasant already. [Early Access Review Score = 75]

    Sold at a very low price, Goat of Duty isn't a joke like Goat Simulator has been, and tries to get into the competitive shooter scene by taking elements from the likes of Quake and Unreal tournament. Clearly worth its 7 bucks price tag ATM. [Early access score = 70

    Take a little Animal Crossing, add a pinch of Stardew Valley, mix it all up in a Disney cauldron, and you've got Disney Dreamlight Valley! If the formula gives the impression of having the air of a thoughtful marketing project, the game is actually surprisingly effective and endearing. [Early Access Score = 80]
