Football Manager 2016 lacks of ambition to be one of the main episodes of the Sports Interactive series. It's the most complete FM we have though, and it's consequently the best till next year.

First original project from Yasumi Matsuno since Final Fantasy XII, Crimson Shroud fits perfectly with its universe. At the core of a world in decay, the story relates the adventure of a group of adventurers known as Chasers. They ought to bring back a special items, the Crimson Shroud, lost in a complex mess of corridors and dungeons. But their first task is to survive. Very dangerous enemies have to be beaten with an intelligent system of luck determined attacks : in order to receive bonuses the player can use dices. A great idea which give Crimson Shroud a lovely board game's aspect. Tough and challenging, Crimson Shroud is a new form of T-RPG who worth more than a simple glance.

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.

After a Yoshi's New Island we found a bit dull, and a very fun Mario Golf : World Tour, Nintendo hits a soft spot with Kirby Triple Deluxe, a real Best of the best from the small pink bubble. Graphically seducing, Hal Laboratory's tittle shines with it's addictive gameplay which uses Kirby's numerous powers, but also thanks to the changing grounds making the 3D use a must. Truly enjoyable, Kirby Triple Deluxe could have been perfect with a bit more risk-taking, instead of using game mechanics already seen numerous times. But the real drawback it that almighty feel you get while facing enemies, and the fact that the game is way too easy to provide a real challenge. We'll dry our tears with the truckload of unlockable bonuses that gives a good replay value. A game not to be missed if you like platformer games or are a Kirby fan.

GTA Trilogy The Definitive Edition is a worthy remaster (and not a remake, do not confuse) of the classic GTA opus that defined the open-world genre. It's far from perfect, but it does make a 20 year old game widely playable nowadays.

While being very short, Journey on PS4 still amazes us with its reworked visuals and an even better gameplay experience. One of the classics on Playstation.

Dragon Age Inquisition is a solid RPG that should conquer any gamer's heart with its well-rounded gameplay. Definitely a big improvement over the last game in the IP.

Far from the exceptional stuff we've been promised, Destiny is "only" a good game, with a huge potential which will be fulfilled with some good old DLC's. Nothing to be ashamed of from a visual point a view, but Bungie's new baby has some troubles with its content (sluggish progression, repetitive missions, sometimes really dumb AI). Destiny has been limited on purpose, to serve 10 years of good service with DLC's. But the frustration mixes with enjoyment thanks to an attractive universe, a beautiful soundtrack and an accessible gameplay.

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force is quite a good game even if some puzzles seem well-known for veteran players. A very nice game indeed.

F1 2016 is back in good shape, with a brand new career mode, and a clever way to spend times during the practice sessions. We only mourn the lack of classic cars and tracks, and the graphics engine that shows its age.

Judgment isn't just a spin-off from the Yakuza series, it's also a very good doorway for newcomers to the IP with it's classic gameplay and a very good storyline that keeps the player hooked to his controller.

PES 2015 is finally the episode we were waiting for : the one which gives hope to the fans. The game is visually uneven and Konami has still work to do on the collisions but it's a real good football game. And THAT is really new.

Even if Weedcraft Inc can make you smile with its subject (and smoke), it's actually a pretty good management game and the only major let-down is the simple graphics.

Even if we recommend going for the PC version of Civilization VI, the Switch version is quite tempting with cleaver controls and a full experience on mobile format. We only regret the very long processing time between turns towards the end-game.

SNK 40th Anniversary Colleciton is one of the greatest Best-Of games we've laid our hands upon. Lots of games, lots of options and a high level of polish to the global product makes it a new landmark for the industry.

Windjammers 2 is still an addictive game with it's simple yet deep gameplay that asks a true commitment from the player. No playable tutorial is there, and y'oull have to become a master of the frisbee through sheer sweat, tears and blood, but once you've mastered the art of the Flying Power Disc, the rewards are second to none.

This new version of Sleeping Dogs can't compete with its Square Enix mate: Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. The game's graphics have undoubtedly been improved but sadly not enough. It still can't compete with the PC version, which makes it useless for all the gamers who already played the game. If you never experienced this nice GTA-like, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition is the way to go.

If you liked Castlevania: Lords of Shadows, you'll like Mirror of Fate. Mercury Steam succeed in combining the basis of Konami's reboot and some old stuffs from the early episodes. The result is ten hours of an intense and gripping adventure that will lead you to the end of Dracula's reign. The choice between four characters is very welcome, exactly like the renewal in the gameplay. A successful bet.

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.

Epic from start to finish, weird and attractive at the same time, Soul Sacrifice is an original game that takes its time to reveal it's potential. The universe is carefully crafted and the ambiance mixing uneasiness and sadness make a vault that fits the PS Vita tailored gameplay. A direct competitor of Monster Hunter, Soul Sacrifice does not match the list of monsters but sheds light on the obsolete game mechanics of Capcom's game while renewing the concept. Too bad that this game still suffers from it's youth as some mistakes are present, but we hope those will disappear in an upcoming sequel.

A real homage to kung-fu movies, and especially those from Hong Kong, Sifu is a stylized, hard-hitting beat'em all with gameplay that borrows from rogue-likes. If you like the challenge, don't hesitate any longer, it's a really good game, made by fans of the genre.

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.

Even if the the family look is there, Wargame: AirLand Battle isn't just Wargame: European Escalation with planes. The games are easier to handle (which is a good thing) and the campaign changes its format (which was almost a good thing). All this without damaging the strategic content that made the studio's lust. The wannabe soldier will be happy to find hundreds of available units, and it will be time consuming before you can master everything during online games. The players really fond of change might regret the seriousness of the graphics and interface.

Tired of Madden? We got the solution with Blood Bowl 2, a great strategy game that improves on its already strong ancestor. We only regret that more races will be added thru DLC.

UFC 4 is quite enjoyable, and a great sports sim, but its very complex gameplay could be a problem for some, even if it's better than before. If you're a fan of MMA, don't look further.

A.O.T Wings of Freedom is a good game with some nice combat and cut-scenes that should make any fan of the anime quite happy about its investment. If only it could have had better designed environments, with a bit more destruction maybe.

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.

Yes, Wild Hearts has copied the Monster Hunter formula, but it manages to go beyond that by distinguishing itself with elements never before seen. The use of Karakuris, these structures that can be invoked to help triumph, brings a lot to the gameplay of the game. The game then gains in intensity, in strategy, but also in the possibility of combat, which makes the confrontations epic and quite enjoyable.
