    One year ago, Blizzard succeeded in adapting Diablo 3 on consoles, thanks to an all new way to play with a gamepad. Diablo III : Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Edition aims even higher : 1080p, 60fps, the huge content of the main episode and the expansion, some new things here and there; no doubt it is the Ultimate version of the game. If until now you were hesitating, there's no reason any longer.

    Gravity Rush was one of the best games of the PS Vita, Gravity Rush 2 makes a great start on PS4. In spite of a very common story and a poor camera, this second entry manages to be deeper, with a lot of new possibilities in the fights, and more gorgeous, thanks to the extra power of the console.

    After a deceiving The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword which left us with bad memories, Nintendo thought it was time to get back to basics with A Link Between Worlds, inspired by the majestic A Link to the Past. Twenty years later, the core fans will find themselves in known territory with the same map, the three collars to lift the legendary sword and the seven sages to rescue; giving the game the looks of a remake which it isn't. If the basics are there, the dev team took some freedom like the ability to complete dungeons in any order you want, without any impact on the story. Transform into a painting to walk on walls brings a fresh touch to an already very good gameplay, even if we can sense a lack of inspiration. Truly, the worst flaw of A Link Between Worlds is the casual turn taken by the series, which ruins the challenge. The enigmas are too easy, we have access to all the objects right at start, and the Fatustus are plentiful. Happily, the rich game content should seduce newcomers and franchise fans alike.

    Halo: Reach is clearly a must-buy for any FPS fan as it doesn't feel nor look like a 9 years old game thanks to 4K 60fps, and for 10 bucks, why linger?

    Two Point Hospital is clearly the rightful heir of Theme Hospital, carrying over the same sense of humor and all the elements of a very good management game. There's no need to go on and on, you got it, it's a great game.

    Taking up the basics of the KOF XIV game system (which was a superb mix of the best 2D episodes), KOF XV never disappoints in terms of gameplay, with a depth rarely equaled. You obviously have to like the offensive game (quite the opposite of Street Fighter) and like this great mobility as well, which makes everything go very quickly.

    We could almost declare that Wasteland 2 is the real Fallout 3. Anyway, it's an incredible RPG we've got here, completely able to attract the old and the new generation of players. The former ones will enjoy something they've known and loved, the others will discover the depth of a role game handmade with passion.

    Grow Home is an interesting surprise from a publisher who got used to mismanaging its own IPs. This platformer-like-no-other has everything going for it and for a very low price tag. You can easily give it a try.

    We already had the good feeling during our preview session two months ago, and it is now a truth : Asterix & Obelix Slap them All! is indeed the little nugget that Microids and Mr Nutz Studio have promised us. Mind-blowingly beautiful (and regardless of the medium chosen, no downgrade, even on Nintendo Switch), the game also enjoys solid gameplay with a hint of strategy quite unexpected.

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare offers a believable campaign that's aimed towards a mature audience, and delivers a very good experience, while the multiplayer is as strong as always. The only let down is the Ground War mode which feels relatively rushed.

    Criterion Games proves once again they know how to make successful racing games. After a pleasant Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, the British video game developer offers a new version of Need For Speed: Most Wanted, bringing some Burnout elements to the IP. The title puts the leveling features aside, focusing on an experience players will enjoy instantaneously thanks to a new open-world universe and enough difficulty to hold them spellbound.

    South Park: The Stick of Truth is the first step in a good direction. We can now hope to have some decent South Park videogames without being too optimistic. Obviously, the game is made for the fans, but Obsidian didn't treat them like fools and made them a really good RPG, which only deserves to be enhanced.

    Persona 5 is clearly one of the best J-RPGs of its generation with a reworked combat system that adds a lot of rhythm, and the whole side of the student life at the academy. The only drawback is the dated visuals.

    After Child of Light, Valiant Hearts is another great game from Ubisoft on the UbiART Framework engine. And it proves the publisher can make something great, even with a tiny budget. Even with its WWI background, Valiant Hearts isn't just an historic documentary: it's really a story-driven title, which focuses on characters and successfully displays quite classic gameplay.

    EA Sports went serious with EA Sports UFC. Beyond the awesomeness of it's graphics, the game impresses by its gameplay even if the casual gamer might get frightened after the tutorial. For a first try, this IP hits the top in spite of some drawbacks like an online multiplayer that needs work or the career mod which is quite repetitive and at last some hits that lack a true impact. On that last matter we have to say it's weird from a game as violent and brutal as EA Sports UFC.

    Looking as nice and with as much content as on desktop consoles, Dead of Alive 5 Plus doesn't lose anything in terms of gameplay, a gameplay which will appeal to both combo fans and boob fans looking for panties. Surely it's not as sexy as Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volley-Ball but the hawtness is intensively present in the DLC's...We ask for more!

    By staying steady on the steed 343 industries insures a nice game with Halo 5 Guardians. The solo offers a smooth ride and the new Warzone multiplayer mode is a great addition to the game as it offers a good option for more casual players.

    Wolfenstein Youngblood is a very good cooperative shooter that leaves the linear narrative legacy to venture more to the RPG side of things. The result is brilliant as long as you have a good pal to play with.

    Anno 1800 is a great opus in the series, and clearly follows up the very good Anno 1701 and Anno 1404 episodes. The only complaint we have is about the weird combat and the few remaining bugs.

    With Tekken 7, Katushiro Harada shows an impressive understanding of what makes a good gameplay mechanic on 3D versus fighting games. Only the technical standpoint is prone to critique in this game.

    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.

    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.

    Sent to the stake before it could even justify its communication blunders, Silent Hill 2 Remake has now had its revenge. Not only has Bloober Team delivered a modern reinterpretation of Masashi Tsuboyama's game with this remake, but the Polish studio has also managed to capture the very essence of what it represented, namely an agonizing and anxiety-provoking dive into the tortured and painful mind of James Sunderland. The themes addressed have an even stronger resonance today, since it deals with domestic violence, toxicity, child abuse and even suicide. Not everything is perfect, mind you, and we would have liked more up-to-date animations, a more flexible combat system too, and perhaps a more marked character design, but the incredible atmosphere that emerges from the game manages to make us forget these technical errors.

    F1 2020 is another very good opus in the series, and this time, it allows the player to act as the owner of a team. It also marks the comeback of split-screen multiplayer. A must-have for racing fans.

    We were expecting a tremendous Mario, but in the end, Super Mario Odyssey is not as glorious as it appears. If it has undeniable qualities with well-oiled gameplay mechanics, it also displays technical issues and inequalities in the worlds we visited. Plus, the costumes that we earn are only cosmetic bonuses and the adventure ends a little quickly. But don't panic, Super Mario Odyssey is still a good episode and we've had fun with it.

    Square Enix made a beat'em all with this Dragon Quest Heroes, but it's no betrayal. Beautiful to watch and to listen to, nervous and well-paced, this new entry is a big success and a very good first try on PS4.

    Ben is back after 22 years with improved graphics, improved sounds, and a very low price tag. What's there not to like? Not much. Maybe the gameplay on the Mine Road that shows it's age. A must-play for any gamer.

    FromSoftware has indeed injected Sekiro into its Elden Ring, and it is no longer the same twist at all. Of course, with perseverance, you will succeed, but it will be through pain, rarely through pleasure. Some like it when the wounds are open, others much less. Fortunately, the title has other arguments that militate in its favor, such as these new territories to explore, its hundred weapons to test, its new adversaries with whom to cross fire, and others that we have already seen a ten times in the Japanese studio's previous productions. Let's agree, Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree remains a very good game and a high quality DLC, but for its overall imbalance, it is necessarily less interesting than the original game.
