    Bloodstained Ritual of the Night is a clear tip of the hat to Castelvania Symphony of the Night, and it manages to tick almost all the right boxes. The only drawback is the old-school gameplay which can be harsh on young gamers.

    With Ghost of Tsushima, Sucker Punch offers an intense adventure with an incredible atmosphere. The whole is so powerful it makes us forget about the numerous shortcoming of the game, like a serious visual downgrade in some places, the AI or the stealth mechanics.

    Coming back on stage and choosing the 3DS fort that is probably Nintendo's best idea, and they can be proud of this Kid Icarus, one of the best games of the 3DS 2012 line-up.

    It's hard to hold a grief against Astro's Playroom, as it's a wonderful showcase for the PS5's DualSense controller, which also brings back memories of oldschool plateformer fun. Moreover, it's free with every PS5 unit purchase.

    We'd like to give a greeting to Ultra Street Fighter 4 but we doubt that a wider audience can enjoy the few technical changes in it. It would maybe have been better in a free update? Fair enough, it comes with five new characters, but only one is a real surprise... And this version comes with glitches of its own, so it's the most complete iteration, but not the perfect one. It's perhaps time for Street Fighter 5.

    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.

    Thirteen years after leaving its indelible mark on videogames industry and establishing itself as one of the best games of the PS3 and Xbox 360 generation, Red Dead Redemption arrives on Nintendo Switch in a completely unexpected way. Many hoped for a remake on PS5 and Xbox Series, but Rockstar Games preferred to offer Nintendo console owners the port of a game that will still be a landmark. For the quality of its porting to begin with (kudos to the Double Eleven studio - Rockstar Games alumni), but also proving at the same time that the Switch is capable of handling open worlds without degrading the quality. And when we tell you that the port is uncompromising, it means that we find the same experience as in 2010, with the same graphic quality of the time and all the details that made the reputation of the Rockstar Games title. Some studios such as Game Freak should take the seed.

    Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled is a true alternative to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with loads of content, awesome solo and multiplayer modes, plus that X factor you can't really describe but that makes everything click together.

    Like a fireworks display, the Square-Enix game offers us a final bouquet that is more messy and less rhythmic than expected. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful adventure.

    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.

    The war ain't some glorious thing like portrayed in Call of Duty; it's the definition of darkness and horror as This War of Mine will show you. What's the price of survival? It's yours to decide in this truly awesome game.

    Fourteen years. That's how long we had to wait before Rockstar Games finally deigned to offer Red Dead Redemption on PC. It's long, very long, too long and too late for some, and we can understand them. However, the adaptation and optimization work carried out by the Double Eleven studio (former Rockstar Games employees) allows us to offer the best version of the game, notably thanks to new features such as native 4K, DLSS 3.7, HDR10, widescreen compatibility and keyboard-mouse play, not to mention all the work that has been redone on lighting and light effects. It's sublime. So of course, after so many years of waiting, the game suffers from mechanics that have aged like these textures and animations so 2010, and a Dead Eye that obviously hits less hard with the surgical precision of the mouse. But these few flaws are nothing compared to the adventure that awaits you in this adventure that depicts a Far West like no other game has ever done. With in addition this absolutely masterful soundtrack, this sense of narration, this unique writing, we can relaunch John Marston's last crusade, if only to cry once again... Masterpiece.

    After a Battlefield 2042 that left many players disappointed, Electronic Arts did what was needed to make amends. The result is a Battlefield 6 of remarkable quality, whether in its single-player campaign or its multiplayer experience. EA’s military FPS finally regains its identity, with the return of the saga’s iconic classes, massive battles, partially destructible environments that are downright satisfying and strategically meaningful, and that constant sense of intense warfare. Sure, the single-player campaign may be less scripted and explosive than a Call of Duty in terms of narrative, but Battlefield 6 excels in pure gameplay, freedom, and the feeling of total war. The Frostbite engine delivers a visual punch, maps are cleverly designed, gunplay is satisfying, and the in-hand feel of the controls is incredible. Of course, it’s not perfect: the French voice-over is uneven and mandatory (as there’s no original English option unless you change your console’s language), and some script, collision, and animation bugs still linger here and there. But compared to a Call of Duty that has started to feel a bit repetitive, Battlefield returns stronger, more intense, and more coherent than ever. You can feel the passion and dedication behind Battlefield 6, along with a genuine desire to win back the hearts of disappointed fans. As for us, we came away completely convinced.

    With Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U, Katsuhiro Harada proposes a good sequel to the successful fighting game released on PS2. The gameplay mechanics are still intuitive but leave room for improvement. And yet, the use of the GamePad won't revolutionize the gameplay. Thanks to the Tag Crash and the Tag Assault attacks, the fighting sequences are now mostly well-balanced. Moreover, with tons of playable characters, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U is a clearly the kind of title that a lot of players will enjoy. As regards the introduction of the new Mushroom and Tekken Ball Battle modes, it's not really significant.

    Dragon Quest Builders may be simple, but it works astonishingly well. Square Enix here proposes a very successful Minecraft-like, which brings its own ideas and features, in spite of some camera problems and below-average battles.

    Transistor is a pretty nice experience in a matter of atmosphere, with a gorgeous visual style and an absolutely terrific soundtrack. But when it comes about gameplay, the frustration isn't far away. The mix of A-RPG and strategy is smart and it works quite well, but you barely enjoy playing. Strange.

    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.

    Charming, Stray comes to remind us that a little well-crafted indie game is sometimes better than a big AAA game. Especially when the title in question offers us to embody a tomcat immersed in a universe that is both post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk and populated by friendly androids.

    Yakuza 6 The Song of Life is clearly one of the best works in the series offering a great finale for Kazuma and greatly improved visuals thanks to the Dragon Engine and one of the best casting of characters in the entire series.

    Destiny 2 is clearly better on PC with improved visuals and a much sleeker gameplay when you aim with a mouse, the only drawback being that you need quite a tough PC if you really want to push the graphics to the max.

    Metro Redux gives a real meaning to the word "remastered" and if you didn't buy Metro 2033 or Metro Last Light, you should throw yourself on it. At the opposite from some studios who just upscale their games, 4A Games remade 2033 from the bottom with the engine used in Last Light. With the DLC's, new game modes and a 40€ pricetag, you already should be convinced.

    If Triangle Strategy unquestionably deserves a very good note, it should still be noted that the adventure will not be suitable for everyone. If you are allergic to long discussions and other narrative scenes intended to enrich your knowledge of the universe and the characters, the experience may be a little painful for you. Not only the scenario, clearly inspired by Game of Thrones, is really worthy of interest, but the combat system is also rich and interesting.

    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.

    With no surprise the guys at Traveller's Tales are delivering a LEGO game that's still decent. But this year the studio has snoozed a bit with a game deprived from any innovation. Happily the Marvel license was chosen this year, and it can brig a special taste to the game by itself. Over a hundred characters from Stan Lee's imagination, a new scenario, a good gameplay and a nice lifespan, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is a good LEGO game, maybe one of the most fun to play, but not necessarily a classic of the series, be it current gen' version or next gen'.

    We were anticipating this version of Titanfall with some apprehension. Finally, it's a pretty good port, even compared to the Xbox One edition. Of course, the two games aren't able to produce the same visual quality, but that doesn't impact the gaming experience and you will have fun on Xbox 360 too.

    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.

    Based on the know-how of Dead Space's Sledgehammer Games, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is simply the best game of the IP thanks to a 4-star cast, and well scenarised solo. Add to the mix the best multiplayer we've seen in a long time, with a Modern Warfare 3 inspired co-op and a nervous versus, and you've got the best Call of Duty game we've seen in years.
