    One Piece: Pirate Warriors isn't the game of the year but it's probably the best game in the series. Some can say it's just a Dynasty Warriors-like, with all the problems that come with it, but it's a good one. The use of Quick Time Events is clever and brings some kind of renewal to the gameplay. Most of all, Pirate Warriors is the most accurate episode and it will be no problem to convince the fans.

    Ancestors is the basis of what could be a very good survival game once it's been patched, or for a second opus. It's hard to learn, very repetitive, but once you got the first few hours in, it starts to reveal its potential.

    If you have a good look at it, you can see as many reasons to like this new SimCity as to hate it. The required connection offers plenty of possibilities but it is a pain in the ass to lonely mayors. The HUD is elegant and subtle but hides some curious flaws. Finition seems perfect, but several bugs will come to spoil your gaming experience. Anyway, SimCity will make you play again and again, and that's quite a good point.

    If Swansong is at the same time an adventure game, an investigation game and an infiltration game, it is above all a real RPG, which manages to perfectly capture the essence of Vampire The Masquerade.

    Sid Meier's Starships lack of depth and features to really arouse the gamer's interest. Moreover the iOS origin of Firaxis's latest title really shows when you play on PC, and the result is unacceptable for any gamer that has played a real Civ game before. The game is still enjoyable thanks to a worth y gameplay, specially on a tablet, but the Sid Meier branding is more of a marketing trick than a real seal of quality.

    Redeemer is a very good top down brawler that was close to competing with the biggest names in the business. Sadly, the strong difficulty and impossibility of saving when we want implies an unpleasant die & retry flavor in some places.

    Strafe is a good FPS but it's more of an old game than an old-school game. Seasoned FPS players will like it but newcomers and young people will surely find it too difficult, and too frustrating.

    Hiding behind features taken from many titles such as Pure or Sega Rally, Mad Riders doesn't appear as a strong competitor on the market, lacking an identity. If the main campaign proposes a good challenge, yet not really difficult, the multiplayer mode offers a disastrous experience with its invisible online communty and a split-screen fonction clearly missing. Mad Riders is fun for a few laps but don't expect to play it all night.

    For their tenth birthday, Ratchet and Clank are not making an incredible come-back. And yet, despite the lack of humor and graphics that are getting old, Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault remains entertaining enough thanks to its interesting gameplay mechanics and its well-balanced difficulty. Multiplayer mode won't occupy players for the next ten years, but it will surely please them.

    Perfect for VR, ADR1FT offers a very nice narrative along with good graphics and a nice feeling of floating into space. but the repetitiveness and the lack of a true engaging gameplay limits the tittle to a "why not experience". [VR Tested]

    Super Lucky's Tale is a VRless version of Lucky's Tale released last year on Onculus Rift. With 4K display on Xbox One X, the game doesn't manage to do much, especially because of an awful camera which makes Lucky's handling very hazardous.

    Darksiders III feels like it was too ambitious for it's new home. With sky-high goals, the game misses its target by far and suffers from plenty of technical problems. Only the most hardcore fans of the IP may enjoy this sequel and can close their eyes to its many problems.

    Wolfenstein Youngblood is a very good cooperative shooter that leaves the linear narrative legacy to venture more to the RPG side of things. The result is brilliant as long as you have a good pal to play with.

    Seducing with its dragon theme, free to play and quite well done as it even offers advanced housing, Dragon's Prophet is an MMORPG which does not look ridiculous. But we do have to admit that it lacks some punch to be able to compete against the genre's stars because of poor polish, an old graphics engine, dull quests and a small amount of races and classes. We note that those drawbacks could be improved by an update overtime which allows us hope. But is trying Dragon's Quest enough to get hooked? Not really but at least it's free to try.

    Assassin's Creed Chronicles India should have improved China's ideas and China's gameplay. But there's nothing really new in this second installment. The game is nothing better, nothing prettier and it still carries some very irritating problems.

    Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion is visually a great sequel to the famous Castle of Illusion, with its beautiful 2D graphics and its great references to the Disney universe. However, in terms of gameplay, the title is not as good as its big brother. Being forced to jump between the use of the touch pen and the usual game controls is not intuitive and won't make you enjoy this short experience that lasts four hours.

    Playing ReCore is just like playing some very early version of a game that could be interesting: there are some cool features, cool ideas in there, but everything is only touched on. IT could have been something nice.

    With inspiration taken from What Remains of Edith Finch or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, The Suicide of Rachel Foster is clearly sub-par relative to those games, to the point where it's difficult to recommend it for any reason, even if the story isn't that bad.

    Chocobo GP is not armed enough to compete with Mario Kart. Beyond the limited number of circuits, it is above all their failed design that makes racing boring. The driving also lacks finesse and the races become a real mess. It's not enough to place items and vehicles on a track for the magic to work; it also takes a good dose of mastery to find a good balance, something that Square Enix will never have been able to find.

    This remaster of Secret of Mana is proof that nobody should mess with a masterpiece unless the budget is more than enough. Emptied from its artistic soul, the game lacks any optimization to improve its gameplay and is thus difficult to recommend to anyone.

    Without changing anything, Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 offers an action packed game based on your ability to inflict a maximum of damage to your enemies. In spite of a very old graphics engine, the game offers a decent life with about 15 hours of play. With dynamic gameplay, the ip follows the likes of Devil May Cry and God of War for the fan's enjoyment. The only true drawback is a very poor script that loses the player in its turns before the grand finale where a very expected twist happens, destroying all hopes of a good story.

    Sonic: Lost World could have meant that the blue hedgehog was definitely back in the business. But the game goes exactly in the opposite way because of imprecise gameplay, a lack of clues in the way you have to play and a random rhythm. Fortunately, Lost World is a technical success and a beautiful game. Sonic Team will have to find its balance for the next chapter.

    While Stifled is a good VR experience with some creative gameplay ideas, the game falls flat as the player quickly understands how everything works which ruins the thriller ambiance of the game. A game to consider if you're into VR and alternative gameplay, and to pass otherwise.

    The Order 1886 is a game that divides in the same way David Cage's games do. Some will say it's too short, and way too linear to retain the gamer. But some others will love the tight story, the intense gunfights and the jaw dropping graphics. And despite the flaws, we think you should give Ready at Dawn's latest title a go.

    WRC 4 looks a lot like those annualised soccer franchises. Very few evolutions, and nothing but new fills this 4th game of the series, which does not improve by aging. We feel that Milestone has given up, and has just done the bare minimum to keep the franchise alive and make payment for the WRC's rights. Made with no passion, this tasteless game will occupy the most dedicated fans for a few short moments before it's forgotten. Very poor gameplay and a lack of finish won't make many people happy about it. Too bad for the rallye game fans who will have to wait quite some time before they can find a worthy game. Until some new publisher get hold of the license?

    With its sexy heroine, its naughty fights and its graphics which constantly seek to impress, Bright Memory Infinite has everything of the little guilty pleasure. But some players will feel disappointed because the game is too short and the story is anecdotal.

    Empire of Sin could have been a nice XCOM like with a nice management layer, where we take care of multiple businesses like casinos and brothels. But the UI is a mess, and the truckloads of bugs are ruining the fun. We hope patches will make things better.

    We expected a disappointment and Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy + fulfilled its targets. Being able to use the C stick and adding bonus skins pack with the amiibo clearly wasn't worth it. Especially when the game carries the same problems with it.

    Regardless of the good concepts and the journey provided by Impact Winter, the game is ruined by an appalling UI and awful controls, making it unplayable. Its gets better with a controller but overall it's not worth it until some major updates arrives.

    Tiny Brains is the perfect example of a small welcoming game. Light price but low life expectancy, weird script but not exceptional, good enigmas, but most of time action oriented, Unreal Engine 3 but low graphics...Overall if we liked the experience (moreover in multiplayer), we never find the spark that will make a great game, no genius nothing. A game to file in the "Why not category", "To try sometimes" or "to get during some sale".
