SEGA reinvents the music adventure game by giving us a strong story and a very pleasant background which is Paris under the lights. A really a nice mixture of Rhythm Paradise, Elite Beat Agent and Samba de Amigo.

Heave-Ho is a very good party game that's most enjoyed with 3 or 4 players, and which offers a lot of fun. The downside is that the fun goes down with the number of players, being quite boring when you're alone.

Lawbreakers offers quite a lot to the fast-FPS gamer with a good gameplay and the famous low gravity areas, but it also lacks some personality to really stand out from the rest.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance has the potential to be one of the greatest RPGs of this year, but the sheer abundance of bugs make it almost unplayable. A perfect example of a game that would have benefited from an early access release.

Ubisoft carries on with the traditional Far Cry recipe that's used this time in a prehistoric setting. The game has its ups and downs and mainly relies on proven features which could prove boring to the players, a bit like an Assassin's Creed game.

The Evil Within 2 is a very good game that proves that Tango GameWorks can make a great game even when Shinji Mikami isn't directing it, even though we would have loved a few more jump-scares and less rigid gameplay.

If you are not yet bored with open world and zombie games, then you have no reason to shun the PC version of Days Gone, which is more beautiful, more complete and less buggy than the PS4 version released in April 2019. And if the technical defaults have all been fixed, there are still some concerns regarding the repetitiveness of the adventure, which tends to drag out a bit too long.

Used to atypical games, the publisher Annapurna Interactive surprises us once again with Twelve Minutes. Yes indeed the game has some rigid animations, not really worthy in 2021, game is quite short, and the system of dialogues isn't perfect, but the stifling atmosphere, the atypical staging, the surprising scenario and the puzzles are really worth the detour in our opinion.

If you have taken the time to read our article, you have noticed that there are many negative points with Rise of the Ronin, but the game also has good arguments for its defense and to assert itself in relation to the competition, starting with its gameplay, which is the main thing in a video game. Obviously, the game will suffer from comparison with Ghost of Tsushima, which, whatever anyone says, redefined samurai games. Sucker Punch's game was not perfect, but its open world was much better controlled, more enchanting, more captivating and above all more interesting to explore. Rise of the Ronin is a test attempt on the side, with an empty open world, quite flat and ultimately not very interesting to discover. Technically too, it doesn't keep up, and it's even very weak, especially when we know that it is a game developed exclusively on PS5 and that it still required 9 years of production. Team Ninja still has a lot to prove in the field of open world games, but manages to interest people through the richness of its gameplay and its numerous possibilities. We hope that this first attempt will allow the Japanese studio to do better next time.

Surviving Mars is a very good city-builder game with a lot of upsides, but the early game is made unnecessarily hard by an absolute lack of tutorial, which forces the player to learn by trial and error.

Beyond Two Souls is at last available on PC, and with a more recent release than Heavy Rain, it looks gorgeous with 4K and 60 FPS. If you haven't yet finished the game on consoles, or haven't tried it yet, go for the PC version.

For a try, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is not a masterpiece, but it does work quite well. The gameplay is flawless, the game is well made and the class system is worthy, everything wrapped with strong humor : we were not expecting a first try that was so successful. On the other hand, the content is extremely light which reminds us that PopCap Games has still some ground to cover before reaching the level of the competitors. With three game modes and a handful of maps, you quickly see everything.

Samurai Warriors 4 takes a little advantage of its port on PS4. It's still kind of old-school, but the game is at last better on a technical point of view. We're still waiting for the episode that will rebuilt from ground zero.

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.

WWE 13 clearly rests on its laurels and does not propose enough innovations to make players dream. And yet, the content remains exhaustive, the gameplay is well-oiled and the new Attitude Era mode will propose interesting sequences for all wrestling fans. That's why, despite the lack of new features, WWE 13 remains one of the best wrestling simulation games to date.

Hard to say if Gigantic is woven to success but it deserves it by providing an interesting variation of gameplay around the MOBA genre. The third person camera and a few clever tricks are enough to make the game avoid the "failed Overwatch Clone" sticker that's already been given to Battleborn.

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War is a nice addition to Treyarch’s series. The game brings back everything we love about the CIA’s black ops and the traditional unforgiving multiplayer experience. Zombie mode and Dead Ops top up an impressive content, but overall, we fell the lot is a bit conservative, and we would have loved to see more new stuff. Guess the COVID pandemic didn’t help.

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.

We were waiting for something awful, but Hyrule Warriors is a nice surprise after all. Omega Force and Nintendo did some good work to make the two IP's match without any problem. The high number of treasures will force you to explore and the Adventure mode with its 8-bits map, is a true jewel. Alas, without online modes and a smart AI, Hyrule Warriors becomes sometimes really annoying.

Bred from a high profile e-sports culture, ShootMania Storm wins the challenge of bonding Hardcore and casual gamers together by submitting various mods. If we can regret the poorly made ManiaPlanet the community experience and the freedom allowed by the dev to the gamers in terms of customization and gameplay should succeed. With a retail price of 20€ and the availability of Royal and Elite mod as freewares, this game has a strong financial appeal, knowing that e-sports already welcomed ShootMania in the family, we guess there will be active servers for years to come...Let's hope it will be as successful as the Trackmania franchise.

Paper Mario: Color Splash feels like the last hurrah of the dying Wii U. The game has an interesting combat system and a very good music, that shows what Nintendo can do when they put their minds to it.

If Batman Arkham Origins is the first game you play in the series, then you'll find it very enjoyable because it has all the great qualities of Arkham City with a new story and even some very few new features. But if you already played Batman Arkham City, then you'll find too many similarities to justify to buy a new game.

A bit better than ADR1FT but less than Firewatch, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is a very good observation game that boasts impressive graphics, a great soundtrack and a nice story. The only drawback is the sluggish pace at which the player can move.

Journey to the Savage Planet feels a lot like Subnautica and No Man's Sky, but with its own twist. The exploration is good and the level-design is pretty good, even if the Humor is kinda special. Definitely a game that's worth its price.

While some players will probably enjoy Firewatch, others will find it very boring. Campo Santo's production will divide the audience, that's for sure. But we have to admit the game is below our expectations. With slightly stronger writing and some real choices with important consequences, Firewatch would have been something exceptional.

Tales of Hearts R is a clear drop in quality from the two Xillia episodes. The graphics are far from what the PS Vita is capable of and what more can we say about a remake that's clearly worse than the original? Sadly Bandai Namco's title is unworthy of your time despite an enjoyable combat system.

We were expecting a lot from Redout, maybe too much because this game is far from taking the crown off WipEout's head because of a crappy AI and a poor feeling in the steering.

Whereas most of sport games are going next gen (FIFA, NBA 2K, NBA LIVE), others like WWE are aiming at current gen improvements. A nice initiative, and improvements have been made for this WWE 2K14 which display a crazy casting. With over 100 wrestlers in the game, there is material to play for quite some time with that game which also displays better animations. Those are not breathtaking but it has to be mentioned since it's in a transition title. On the graphics side, it's a disappointment, the wrestlers are badly made with ugly textures and a creepy public. Thankfully the ambiance around the ring is pretty neat and largely compensate for technical problems even if those bugs and dated gameplay would require an update. Now that 2K is in the business and has taken the IP, let's hope that next gen games will make this series shine again. It's worth it, and we would like it a lot.
