    World War Z is a worthy TPS which feels quite good with brainless shooting and hordes of zombies, but the overall content is far too slim, and the gameplay far too repetitive to score a hit in our hearts. Consider playing it with friends, or pick it up at a sale.

    A thousand miles from a simple remaster, Oddworld Soulstorm is also much more than just a remake of Oddworld : Abe's Exodus. Extended in content, updated in the form, enriched in its mechanics, modified in its levels, the game has in fact been completely redesigned.

    Blair Witch feels more like a tip of the hat to Eternal Darkness : Sanity's Requiem than one of the most gruesome games out there. The characters (including the forest) are pretty good, but the sub-par graphics (even on Xbox One X) are a true let down.

    The ABC Murders is a promising start for this new IP based on Agatha Christie's books, but the devs need a bit more work before it can compete with other investigation masters like the Sherlock Holmes series.

    Doom 3 BFG Edition is an expensive game that won't easily find buyers. Admittedly, the pack proposes a lot of stuff such as Doom 3, Resurrection of Evil, The Lost Mission, Doom et Doom II. However, the "enhanced" part is not as good as it should be. The original game and its expansions did get really old despite their new support for 3D and the introduction of a checkpoint save system that won't revolutionize the gameplay.

    Sold like it's a revolution, WWE 2K18 is merely an evolution of the previous game that mainly shows the big ambitions of the devs and their small budget while the awful QTE system still harms the gameplay in a big way.

    Pro Cycling manager is the best pushbike sim available on the market, with a manager mode more enjoyable than ever. The biggest flaw is the absolute lack of official licensing which will undoubtedly keep some fans away.

    Nintendo has had better spin offs than Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer; If the core of the game is decent, the overly week challenge removes every ounce of interest from a game that could very well be a simple DLC.

    DriveClub VR is currently the only one to offer such an experience in virtual reality. And that saves it from being a total fail. But the feeling of speed and immersion are both damaged by poor graphics and low ambition.

    Making a crossover between The Escapists and The Walking Dead was a great idea and the result is tremendous fun, whether you're a fan of the comic or not. Beware though, as the genuine flaws from the Escapists are carried over in this game like the repetitiveness of the gameplay.

    Even if WRC 6 shows a little bit of improvement over the last iteration, it's still miles away from Codemaster's Dirt Rally. We can only hope that with work and ideas, Kylotonn manages to bring back the official games to the lever they were at when Evolution Studios were making the game.

    With better polish and an add genius touch, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified could have been a great game. But for now, it's old technique, it's bugs and numerous incoherencies don't let this game into the hall of fame of videogames. Happily, the worthy gameplay, the 60's ambiance and the XCOM universe are here to salvage the game. The mix between action and strategy works well, and the choice in dialogues brings a cool RPG touch. In the end we go through missions with quite an enjoyment in spite of all this, and we don't leave the bureau that easily.

    Ultra Street Fighter 2 is a very good game, and the Switch port is quite a success if you stick to the versus mode. Otherwise it's not a breakdown, the visuals are from 2008 and the Hado voice mode is simply a disaster thanks to very poor motion controls. But the core of the game is just perfect.

    Ride was off on the good foot to be the bike's Gran Turismo with its generous roaster of over 100 bikes and a lighter roaster of 15 tracks. But with all the official licensing and the aftermarket parts, the salvation was in sight, until Milestone's incompetent devs ruining of the final product with major bugs blossoming all over it, including corrupted save files and game instability.

    In spite of a few story weaknesses, Hidden Agenda is a very good interactive movie that makes a cleaver use of the PlayLink technology by allowing multiple players to join in. A perfect pick for an evening with non-gamer friends, but we would have loved a bit more interaction, while the app uses a lot of energy from your phone.

    In the same vein as Atelier Rorona and Atelier Totori, Atelier Meruru is a logical conclusion for the Alchemist of Arland serial. The game manages to develop some new things, but can't succeed to cure itself of many many flaws. Cute but totally vacuous, Atelier Meruru : The Apprentice of Arland don't know how to tell a good story. With a poor combat system and a lazy rythm, it seem already an old fellow.

    Even if Close to the Sun offers a nice steampunk atmosphere and a worthy story, the basic gameplay and rudimentary puzzles are not enough to keep the player hooked long enough. Consider it during a strong sale.

    Berserk and the Band of Hawk could have been the new Dragon Quest Heroes or Hyrule Warriors. Even if they were far from perfect, those two wanted to do something modern with classic musou gameplay. Instead, Berserk falls in the same category than Fist of the North Star.

    Unsurprisingly, Lightning Returns : Final Fantasy XIII is like the trilogy it ends: full of appeal but ruined by flaws you can't help to notice. We're speaking about the technical aspect that the ip has stacked since its arrival on PS3 and Xbox 360, which still harms the game and our eyes. We're even more disappointed to see that it ruins the good artistic direction of the game. We also have to mention the difficulty, set on extremely hard in a hope to increase the life of the game. But Lightning returns also has some great features, the 13 days left to Lightning to achieve its mission, and the quests to be achieved give a good rhythm to the title, while the costume system give a true strategic dimention to the fights. Don't miss it and hang on tight.

    Based on a high-advanced concept of survival and management, the game unfortunately suffers from rudimentary mechanisms and many blunders. SoD 2 is clearly preferred in multiplayer for more fun.

    Like many other indie games, Diluvion is packed with great ideas but suffers from a lack of polish and budget, to the point where we would have loved to see it as a triple A game.

    Batlezone VR is not a game we recommend to buy for your PlayStation VR. Sold for 60€, Rebellion's title has bad graphics and a boring gameplay with no variety at all in enemies and arenas.

    It's hard not to fall for the charming Leopold, more attractive than ever now he's reached PC and new consoles. With only two or three hours to spend in it, Leo's Fortune may seem short but its very low pricetag should convince you to give it a try.

    Need for Speed is a one-night stand but it's definitely not the love of your life. A depressing open-world, some uninterested cops, an empty scenario : this reboot is not what you've been waiting for, except for the very impressive visuals.

    Bleeding Edge sadly is too little too late to be able to make an impact on the hero shooter market, with a lack of content and no solo mode, even if most of the game is pretty well-made.

    Available for a top price, Final Exam is a great deal for any beat'em all lover. It's not the journey of the century but the work has been well done and you'll have a good time playing it at the end. We can only advise you to try the free demo available online, which is a very good offer in our greedy 21st century.

    Taking elements from the first two titles of the IP, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD returns to basics especially regarding its gameplay and the music used to entertain our ears. Even if the game is developed for those who are nostalgic for the PSOne era, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD has nothing revolutionnary to offer.

    New chapter of Sega's ten years long series, Super Monkey Ball : Banana Splitz comes in on PS Vita. A new console for a new concept? Not really. Indeed, it's difficult to differentiate this episode from previous ones. Same gameplay mechanics, same characters, and in fact same problems. Of course, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz contains many mini-games, approximately 100 levels and online play, but the game is unable to drive the player to endure a dangerous lack of originality.

    If you played the game on PS3 or Xbox 360, we can hardly advise you to open your wallet for Saints Row 4 : Re-Elected + Gat Out of Hell. Even with the large amount of content the game brings, 50 euros is still too much to ask for a GOTY edition without any visual improvements.

    Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus is precisely what we can call an opportunist adaptation. The game carries technical deficiencies that can quickly spoil your gaming experience, above all for such a great license. Bringing Ninja Gaiden with you anywhere is quite classy but that doesn't really make it worth your money, especially if you played the console version.
