    Far from all the AAA games we've played in the past weeks, GRIS offers a simple, artistic and yet mesmerizing experience, that blows your eyes with wonderful drawings and your ears with a magnificent OST. Yes it's short, but its intensity makes it one of the best games of the year.

    Project CARS is simply the best racing sim that money can buy on eighth generation consoles thanks to a very nice physics engine and very decent content. A must buy for petrolheads.

    With superb visuals, FIFA 19 is strongly going on the arcade side of football, with a fast pace and gameplay mechanics that emphasize the show. Moreover the third opus of Alex Hunter's story is great. We are eagerly awaiting for his successor.

    Mortal Kombat X is the most successful episode in Ed Boon's series in almost 20 years. NetherRealm took advantage of the powerful PS4 and Xbox One to offer gamers a beautiful game, enjoyable for beginners and experts at the same time.

    We thought NBA 2K14 had hit the limits of what a basketball game can be, that nobody could do better, but the new brew manages to do even better. NBA 2K15 improves the gameplay even more for an impressive result, and only the loading times and the facial scan feature might disappoint you.

    If you're not tired of violent Devolver Digital Games in Pixel Art, then Katana Zero ticks all the right boxes to offer a pleasant experience, with a very good OST and a pretty solid gameplay. Even though the game is short, it's low pricing and replay value for speedrunners makes it a nice investment.

    Without being the game of the year, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 manages to offer enough good things to be a very decent JRPG game that is worth the attention of any Nintendo Switch owner, in spite of a few shortcomings like the awful clipping and framerate drops.

    World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is a very good expansion of the original game, and the sheer amount of content makes us forget about the lack of a new race or new class.

    Gravity Rush allows players to alter gravity in order to reach any places, with heroine's head upside down. A great idea who makes the player feel as if he can fly through the entire city without limits. Despite minor gameplay issues, Gravity Rush is a unique experience, combining energetic fights and a true sense of adventure in gorgeous environments.

    Far from a revolution, but it does serve their purpose, which is to provide some pocket monster enjoyment for the fans, until a new more vastly modified game comes out. A nice move from Nintendo indeed.

    Horizon: Zero Dawn - Frozen Wilds is a good DLC that shows that Guerrilla has mastered the making of an open world, even if the story is not as good as the main one. The infiltration system could use some work too but overall it's very decent content for fans of the IP.

    Beat the Beat : Rhythm Paradise is as great as its big brother on DS used to be with its colorful universe and its good game length. It can proudly appears among the Wii titles you really need to get, offering an intuitive gameplay based on the use of only two buttons that manages to share its insolent groove to any player. A game that can also count on the presence of a new multiplayer mode, interesting and yet not really essential.

    Despite the departure of Activision but thanks to Square Enix's help, United Front Games found enough inspiration to propose a great alternative to the Grand Theft Auto series, with Sleeping Dogs. With its good representation of Hong-Kong, a variety of missions, and great fighting sequences that could bring Bruce Lee back from the dead, Sleeping Dogs can proudly appear among the best GTA-like games developed to date.

    The deadliest bald man in the videogame universe is back in a new episode which strikes hard. Hitman Absolution doesn't revolutionize the roots of the series' concept, but it manages to rejuvenate the method. Beautiful and clearly cinematic, Io Interactive's game gives to the player a great amount of freedom despite some A.I flaws. Thanks to its impressive lifespan and its entertaining multiplayer mode, Hitman Absolution is a member of the end-of-year greatest games.

    For 2022, Nintendo has some new ambition for the Pokémon license! Pokémon Legends Arceus gives us a great semi open-world, which adapts well to the Pokémon formula. On the other hand, graphically, it's poor, simplistic and it feels like a game that is 15 years behind.

    Six years ago, Nomada Studio made a name for itself with Gris, an atypical platformer, which went off the beaten track and whose sincere intentions made it possible to see that even among indies, we are still capable of standing out. Neva takes up this same ideology by pushing the desire even further. By completely embracing this osmosis with nature, by drawing unabashed inspiration from the works of Hayao Miyazaki and the productions of Studio Ghibli, the Spanish developers of Nomada transport us into an absolutely captivating universe where each moment, each screen gives the feeling of contemplating the painting of an accomplished artist, that of Conrad Roset. With the COVID crisis, the birth of his child, his relationship has changed and this evolution in his personality is also felt in Neva, a game where the need to help each other, to take care of each other is felt in this dying world. Nothing is lost despite appearances, an optimistic message that will guide the player in an experience like no other has offered us. The platform is still relevant, the puzzles are still as enjoyable, but we have gained in ferocity and adversity, thanks to this katana put in the hand of Alba, our heroine, capable of many things and movements. Her hand-made animations are sublime, her fight too, while Neva, this wolf cub who is growing up visibly, is a character that we also want to cuddle. Sublime.

    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.

    Nintendo keeps its momentum with a very good Rhythm Paradise Megamix. Easy to get used to, the game does offer an unexpected challenge, specially towards the end. A game that can clearly get you addicted.

    To be honest, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is an updated version of the previous episode. But let's be fair, it's a huge update: from 70 to 221 tracks, a new way to play the game only with stick and buttons, Versus and online modes, and a Medley Quests which makes the progression better and more structured. Too bad we have to pay full price for it, even more with the DLC's incoming.

    Even if AC Odyssey cannot provide the same surprise effect as AC Origins, the wealth of content, its incredible landscapes and its dynamic dialogue system make it one of the best.

    We can't really say that Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is revolutionary because in the end Retro Studios just follows the recipe that worked well on the Wii, but with undeniable success. The HD textures allow better graphics, and the dynamic camera adds depth to the environment. Though the gameplay is precise as ever, we still regret that the gamepad features were not used at all. A bad point when you think that the co-op was well improved during the treasure hunts. The try and die mechanics are quite rage-inducing, but not enough to shake Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze on its feet. Undoubtedly, this game is an instant classic of the Wii U, the first of 2014. Now we wait for the rest of the promised games.

    The developers of Mark of the Ninja have done it again with Invisible Inc. For less than 20 bucks you can throw yourself into one of the best infiltration game there is. A true contender to the hall of fame.

    Nearly a decade has gone since its first release in 2006, and Gears of War makes a great comeback here. With a few gameplay adjustments and gorgeous visuals, this remake can settle amongst other Xbox One blockbusters with no shame.

    If Helldivers 2 surprises so much, it is because it has succeeded in two important points. The first is to finally prove to the whole world that it is possible to make a good game based on the Starship Troopers universe. From its creatures to its corrosive and second-rate humor, including the very principle of sacrifice for a common cause, we couldn't dream of a better way to immerse ourselves in Paul Verhoeven's masterpiece. Second point: also proves that making a very good live-service game without creating bad buzz or rejection from gamers is also possible. It must be said that unlike Suicide Squad, this Helldivers was designed and shaped to be multiplayer, cooperative, with the dose of fun that goes with it, the complete opposite of the title from Warner Games and Bethesda.

    Even if San Francisco is a far better place than Chicago, Watch DOgs 2 still has some flaws like an insipid hero and a very bad driving feel. Still a pretty good open world game for wannabe hackers.

    FIFA 16 is a good football game. That's precisely the problem. FIFA is "just" a good game now, and not the simulation which ruled the football world for years. EA seems to struggle to find how to make his series move forward again.

    We thought that this year again Call of Duty would continue to do the bare minimum to feed its community, but we were wrong. Black Ops 6 is indeed returning to quality, and we find ourselves with what is undoubtedly one of the best episodes of the last 10 years, whether it's the single-player campaign, the gameplay, the Zombies mode, the Multiplayer, everything has been carefully worked on to make the overall experience worth it. We were pleasantly surprised, starting with the campaign which varies the situations, with sometimes more classic and spectacular missions, but also more open levels, with finally interesting things to do. The game becomes less directive and even allows itself to try things with unexpected supernatural sequences at this level. We even have to face bosses, something unheard of for a Call of Duty game. The introduction of omni-movement brings a lot to the game, with larger, more natural movements that make the game more fluid, and with which we can combine a more nervous, more impactful gunplay. In multiplayer, the experience is also very pleasant, with a Zombie mode that returns to the sources and the waves to shoot down, even if we have to make do with two poor maps at launch. Fortunately, multiplayer and Warzone are there to fill this gap, especially since this year the new "Execution Order" mode is undoubtedly one of the best finds in the series.

    L.A Noire: The VR Case Files is clearly one of the best VR games of the year, making the police work even more immersive. A true VR game, and not one of the VR experiences for sure.
