Shady Part of Me looks very similar to games like Alice, Contrast, Inside, Limbo and Little Nightmares in terms of atmosphere, gameplay or artistic direction. Despite all these influences, the game has its own personality and manages to seduce us frankly.

Even if Shinsekai isn't a revolutionary game, it's still a fresh and enjoyable entry in the metroidvania genre. It would have been better with a less cryptic narrative and a simpler AI though.

Fortnite feels a lot like Dungeon Keeper. It's a worthy game with interesting gameplay, and where everything is ruined by greedy monetization. The ripoff is less obvious than in EA's game but it's still a pain. We suggest waiting until 2018 when the game will be truly free-to-play.

Heavy Rain is the game which makes the most of this new Quantic Dream Collection, with better lights, the end of the blur effect and some clearly defined textures. Beyond Two Souls is more like a classic port of the PS3 version. Anyway, it should be recommended, as long as you don't already own both games.

Considering it's tailor made for VR, RIGS : mechanized Combat League offers great gameplay and very good immersion into the game. But the very light content and the framerate problems get us wondering why it's sold for 60€.

DiRT 4 is built upon the ground laid by DiRT Rallye, and thus offers a pretty good experience when driving rally cars. With improved menus, the only drawback is the limited amount of special stages and the less than impressive truck and buggy races.

With its tons of content and its inventive gameplay, Disgaea 3 : Absence of Detention is a great game. But this version is totally dispensable for PlayStation 3 owners and for newcomers who can be frustrated by the disappearance of the french translation. More characters, more stories, but for a limited audience.

With Limbic Entertainment stepping into the shoes of Haemimont Games, we weren't expecting a radically new Tropico 6, but the slight changes, and graphics update are enough to make us happy to get back to ruthless ruling.

Skylanders Trap Team is by far the most completed game in the series, thanks to the bad guys of Skylands, which weren't expected in this party. They make the gameplay deeper and the fun they bring allows you to forget the linearity of the journey, still in place. Sparkling graphics, hours of play and hundreds of treasures: Skylanders Trap Team has all that is needed to be a new success.

Fury Unleashed is a very nice rogue-lite that enjoys a dynamic gameplay, lots of weapons ans bosses, and even a very well made storyline. A future hit once we get the promised coop mode.

With a very nice artistic touch, and a dark ambiance, Little Nightmares could have been a very good game, if it weren't so short to beat, and if didn't give us that feel of playing a mock up of Playdead's INSIDE.

The GRID series goes arcade with this new game. A ruthless and less exigent gameplay are proof that GRID 2 places itself between Gran Turismo and Need For Speed, leaning towards the arcade style of EA's title. In spite of a moderately interesting solo mode, mostly ruined by a criminal IA, the games scores back with a very fun multiplayer very old school inspired. The lack of real link between the two modes is actually a strength as one don't need to hit the solo to unlocks stuff in multiplayer. GRID 2 still carries the original's DNA but it focuses on arcade in order to seduce amateurs of racing games that want to avoir the tech malarkey.

Like its ancestor, Wargame: Red Dragon looks more like a DLC disguised as a stand-alone, than a real new game. If the fans like that opus, the majority of gamers will find no interest in this IP which is getting even harder to jump in. That being said, the Asian context of the solo campaign, and the arrival of sea units which enrich the gameplay are welcome additions. Like before, it's by going multiplayer that we'll see the effect of those units since the AI is still a bit of a mold. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

NBA 2K20 isn't the most groundbreaking opus in the IP, but it's still a must-have for all the basketball fans out there.

This War of Mine: The Little Ones is as good as when it first launched on PCs back in 2014, but with the addition of the "write my story" mode which lets player customize their game, along with the kids now thrown into battle - a must play tittle now on consoles.

Good Job! could have been a nice puzzle-game, or a nice demolition derby sandbox, but by trying to be both, it misses out of the fun, and feels pretty dull quite quickly.

Mario has become so important for Nintendo that there's not a year without the famous plumber coming to a game console owned by Big N. If we were happy to see the hero coming back, we quickly realized New Super Mario Bros 2 only takes the successful mechanisms of the previous title without the originality. Especially when chasing gold coins is not really fascinating.

Before you go and buy Dead Rising 3 ask yourself what you expect from the game. If you seek a fun sequel to Dead Rising 2, with some new things, then the game is for you, no hesitations. Still as fun as before and populated with a large number of zombies, it delivers a good dose of action. On the other hand, if you're hoping that this launch title stuns you with it's graphics or revolutionizes the franchise, you will be disappointed because it simply is not the case. If the fun is present, the "wow, that's unseen" effect is clearly missing.

PES 2014 shows that Konami knows exactly what they're aiming for and what to do to catch up with EA's FIFA. FOX Engine doesn't provide exactly what we were expecting from it, but it offers a real good physics engine. No need to say it will probably reach its peak on PS4 and Xbox One. This all new PES is a true football simulation, with some problems and glitches, but also with some good ideas like the Emotion system. These kinds of ideas, added to gameplay features from FIFA, could make the difference in the next ten years.

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.

We expected a lot from Dead Space 3 and were not disappointed. The game keeps all its promises, with true moments of tension proving that Visceral Games hasn’t betrayed the Dead Space series. Horror is there, and we have never seen such violent Necromorphs. This perfect balance between action sequences and anguish is efficient, avoiding Dead Space 3 making the same mistake as Resident Evil 6. But we must be honest with the fans: if the next Dead Space has more action scenes, there will be reason to fear the worst. Since it’s not a perfect game, it’s important to highlight the poor cover system and the lack of boss fights. Although the deep weapon crafting system is likely to annoy the purists, Dead Space 3 remains a great experience you have to live.

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.

Abzû is one of the best games of 2016 with a cryptic yet very good story, alongside with beautiful visuals that go way beyond the aquatic screensaver. Unless you're a hardcore action fan, you have to try it.

Life is Strange : Before the Storm Episode 1 is a good prequel to the original game that retains most of the strength. The only flaw is the bigmouth system that chloe can use to bend people to her will, and which seem overused.

A great success. It has an original script and, surprisingly, we can be easily dragged into this story. With simple and intuitive gameplay, it’s easy to handle it. Then we can enjoy graphics which benefit from careful modeling. Injustice will please Comics fans but not only this group. With its immersive universe, even those uninitiated to fighting games will find it easy to take their places in the huge universe of superheroes.

Outlast is the pleasant surprise of fall 2013, a true survival-horror game with an olds-chool gameplay and a very scary atmosphere. Fear is what it's all about and that's what you're going to find inside Mount Massive Asylum, and it already makes the game a success. With a very well made storyline in spite of a touchy ending, Outlast is definitely a reference title rivaling with Amnesia or Forbidden SIREN. In spite of some problems which are due to the tight development budget, hence the small retail price of 20€, the game will provide gamers with a deep dive into the most dark horrors, which will make you forget the minors faults that Red Barrels let slip pass. A title that will scare future PS4 owners for sure!

Pokémon Legends Z-A is a game that tries to shake up the franchise with some interesting ambitions, but unfortunately, the technical and artistic resources don’t keep up. Between a fresh urban setting that is poorly utilized, a struggling graphics engine, and archaic level design, the open-world experience is disappointing and fails to convince. The streets are empty, the buildings are rudimentarily cloned, flat textures and constant clipping make the city of Illumis feel like a cardboard movie set.Yet, not everything is bad. The real highlight of this episode is the real-time combat. Abandoning the classic turn-based system is a risky move, but here the gameplay gains pace and tension. Positioning, timing, and strategy take center stage, while the variety of attacks and the reintroduction of Mega Evolutions add tactical depth.On the other hand, all other aspects of the game fall short: the story is somewhat flat, side quests are repetitive and uninspired, and the overall art direction suffers from a glaring lack of personality. In the end, the game feels like an ambitious prototype, limited by an outdated graphics engine and insufficient resources. Younger players and long-time fans of the franchise will find enjoyment here, but for adult or more demanding players, the experience remains frustrating. It’s clear the franchise has potential to evolve, but Game Freak needs to seriously invest in its tools and design to deliver a truly modern Pokémon open-world game.

New Style Boutique 2: Fashion Forward hasn't revolutionized the genre since the last game, but the new activities are welcome and the game is very easy for the casual audience it targets. For the most seasoned player it will feel very repetitive.
