    Inspired by the glorious Dark Souls series, Lord Of The Fallen was aiming at bringing some of the hardcore RPG magic to the next gen consoles. Truth is it's only a cheap ripoff of From Software's IP, with a difficulty that mainly comes from its slow and heavy hero, and not much appeal besides a few cleaver features.

    Easy to learn and fun from the get-go, NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 feels like the rightful heir to NBA Jam, but the pay-to-win system needed to acquire all the players ruins the fun and make it more of a party-game than something you'll play for straight days.

    It's hard to understand why EA wants to make FIFA more casual, more accessible, as the series is a record seller every year. It's also quite hard to get why FIFA World Cup: Brazil 2014 is sold as an entire game whilst it's more like a big DLC. Of course, all the official content make the game interesting as long as you take it for what it is: a fancy football game far from the demanding gameplay of FIFA 14.

    Rocket Arena is a worthy hero shooter with an all rocket approach that's pretty fun, but it still lacks a campaign, the PvE mode is dull and it feels like you're playing in a funpark. Worst of all is the feel that you pay for what feels like a free-to-play.

    Dead Island 2 is not doing too badly, especially for a development that started more than 10 years ago. But we obviously cannot ignore all the archaism of its game design. Whether it's the overall structure of the game (several small, very down-to-earth open areas, without any possibility of verticality), its basic and repetitive gameplay, Dead Island 2 can put off some players. Despite these major flaws, the title of Deep Silver still manages to appeal to our primary instincts, namely to slaughter zombies with such graphic violence that it becomes enjoyable.

    Eagle Flight is pretty much everything we want from a VR game. A fun concept with a great gameplay and no motion sickness. The only real drawback is the very light content for a 40€ game.

    WWE 2K16 fixes some problems inherited from the last episode of the series, especially in terms of content. But it keeps trailing certain issues that makes it unworthy of our expectations, unworthy of the platforms it runs on.

    The Get to Work expansion pack for The Sims 4 fills one of the many gaps the main game displayed. If you always wanted to be a doctor, a scientist or a P.D. then The Sims 4 : Get to Work should keep you busy for some ten hours.

    Unless you're a fan of the comics, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 hasn't got much to offer. The gameplay is quite generic, the story is dull and the technical side of things is quite a let down.

    The Surge is basically built upon the Dark Souls model, but brings it into a futuristic world with some nice touches like the combat system that allows to cut limbs. It's still is quite difficult and intended for masochistic players.

    eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is a good way to extend the life of the game by changing bits of the gameplay at improving the online experience, but the content still feels limited.

    We will be honest with you : by launching Far Cry 6, we came with a negative opinion. It's true that since the Primal episode, the series has declined over the years, with a New Dawn spin-off completely missing its pumps. But it seems that Omar Bouali and his team at Ubisoft Toronto did not want to be responsible for the downfall of the saga. Result : Far Cry 6 surprises and amazes on many aspects; starting with its story, much more interesting than any that we have lived since the beginning of the series.

    Double Helix Games had to do something big for this brand new Killer Instinct, something that sticks with the codes of today's fighting games. They took a lot to Street Fighter, it's not genius, but you can feel the balance between old stuffs and new ones. It's fast and explosive but Killer Instinct hits far too hard in the wallet.

    Marvel's Iron Man VR is a VR game that will appeal a lot to fans of the IP, and while some of it is nice, there are lots of shortcomings chief among which are the poor story and the very long loading times.

    After the very good FighterZ, Dragon Ball Z Kakarot could have been a worthy RPG for the fans, but the game ultimately underperforms in too many areas to be of any interest to anybody but the most hardcore of Dragon Ball fans.

    Worms Revolution remains as fun as the previous titles of the IP, adding some new features like a shuffle mode, water-based worlds, and classes for our worms. And yet, Team 17 suffers from a lack of ambition, Worms Revolution being a shy evolution of Worms Battle Islands. That's why players that are fond of the IP won't be surprised by the new weapons or some levels with good ideas of interaction.

    Way more interesting than it's cousin Space Hulk: Deathwing, Space Hulk Tactics stays true to the mechanics of the board game while peppering it with a cleaver system of cards. Overall it's still a niche game made on a budget, but it performs as required.

    It's hard to be fully satisfied with First Light if you've played InFamous: Second Son. The game as a whole continues to be very fun but some features wouldn't have been erased. We've got some regrets for the karma system obviously and above all, the missions lack something new. Nevertheless, for such a price tag, First Light will keep you busy for some time and perhaps you'll be happy to learn about Fetch's life.

    Mario Strikers Battle League Football does not disappoint in its gameplay. The controls seem basic but they are extremely deep in reality. But the game has serious problems which are its lack of content and a big concern for clarity on the ground. Online gaming has also been botched.

    Despite a good technical side, Star Wars Battlefront suffers from quite a number of balancing issues, where for instance AtAt's are quite too tough on Hoth. Let's hope a patch comes out to correct those issues.

    Old school but enjoyable, Evil West offers us a scenario of cowboys and vampires, a very naughty gameplay, and a general design inherited from the games of 2010. A formula that quickly finds its limits in certain aspects of the game, but its combos devastating will satisfy you.

    If AirMech Arena is not exactly bright and shiny at first, you need to admit that it works wonderfully well once you get the pad. The newcomers will appreciate the way you can learn MOBA basics, while the others will enjoy all the strategic part of the game. It's a shame that AI and too recurrent disconnections come to spoil this positive scene.

    Since it's first adventure, Styx has grown and now offers quite complex infiltration mechanics, along with a very well done level design that allows for a lot of replayability. The only drawback is the crappy humor and appalling punchlines. A pretty good game overall.

    If the fact of constantly replaying the same type of online games in order to progress your characters does not scare you, then Evil Dead The Game will not disappoint you. The gameplay is solid, the references to the films of the saga are numerous, the graphics have nothing to be ashamed of, the demonic creatures and the soundtrack are very creepy, and the knockouts bring a good dose of gore.

    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.

    Dead Rising 4 is disappointing on several levels, but above all, it's hard not to stress that the IP seems to reach some solid boundaries. It's maybe time for Capcom to let it rest for some time.

    Sadly this remaster of Beyond Two Souls doesn't bring much to the game. The graphics improvement is minimal, and the lack of 60 fps framerate is quite unfortunate. Beyond Two Souls stays one of the best narrative games of the last few years.

    For a first shot, we can count it as a success. Remember Me is not flawless but mort of those flaws are due to the ip's youth or an excessive care. Good ideas not well used, features that are too limited in use or too rare, some repetitive things too, but that's pretty much all we can criticize the game for. The risk-taking brought by this new gameplay, a new context and a unique universe are wonderful. On the looks, the bet is won et we would even like to know a bit more about this strange Neo Paris. Maybe in another title? With such inspired graphics and creativity, we hope the sequel will follow on quite quickly.

    Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is far from perfect mainly due to the sheer number of characters, which is really too much to get the player involved in the story. The other main problem is the back and forth travels you have to go through between missions, those really kill the rhythm. The game is a quite good port from PSP to PS4 and has the merit of demoing what Final Fantasy XV will be.

    Anno is still a great IP which ventures into lunar lands. While the concept is good and the changes are welcome, we would have gladly traded Uplay and DLC's for a multiplayer mode and more maps.
