    Need For Speed: Payback is far from the Burnout style crashes we were shown at E3, leaving the game with only a nice looking open world, and a truckload of flaws like the go-buy-lootcrates grinding system, an appalling storyline and heavily scripted races.

    White Night is a very good surprise as the french game offers an experience that reminds of a good thriller novel. With its black & white graphics and the strong issues of the post 1930 USA, the games earns its own identity. And it does so with high praises.

    If Dragon Ball Z : Extreme Butoden had a great starting point with the 2D old-school fighting pedigree, Arc System Works blew it by making the game incredibly repetitive in its gameplay and because of the lousy Z-assist System. Still recommended to hardcore fans.

    Lionhead's latest production could have been a great game. Unlike many titles powered by Kinect, Fable: The Journey has beautiful graphics, an orchestral score and interesting characters. As usual, the British studio manages to create compelling stories and a "easy to reach" gameplay but Kinect ruins them all. Driving the horse-drawn carriage is pleasant, but as soon as Gabriel sets foot upon the floor for action stages, the gameplay becomes a nightmare. Spells are imprecise, Kinect doesn't succeed in tracking down your body... really awful. Fortunately for Lionhead, it's easy for kids to have fun with games of that kind.

    As long as you don't start to play, the game seems to be fun, pretty and you can say to yourself that you're gonna spend some nights on it with your pals. But you will soon change your mind. Amongst the only six sports available, three are just good to go to the garbage because of the inaccuracy of the detection. And the others don't bring enough togetherness to be played for hours. At the end of the day, Kinect is far more enjoyable from your couch.

    Cooking Mama: Bon Appétit ! sticks to the strict minimum by recycling most of its features. Only the Dojo cooking mode manages to bring some renewn enjoyment . We really wish that Nintendo would add real recipes to a game that will continue to sell anyway.

    Ryse: Son of Rome is typical Crytek stuff: beautiful enough, but not so deep if you look at the gameplay or the story. It's pretty easy on the eyes, but everything isn't perfect though. The plot could will keep you playing till the end, but it tastes like déjà vu and it's far too easy sometimes. Above all, Ryse's gameplay would have been a shame in 2003.

    As EA Vancouver had found quite a sane recipes for last year's game, we hoped that NBA LIVE 16 would have been worthy even if aimed at the arcade lover. In fact it's a disappointment chain with all the flaws we found last year are still present. Far from the awful opus of 2013, we still wish NBA Live 17 will give NBA 2K a run for its money.

    SNK Heroines is a weird spin-off of KOF XIV that aims at the male audience by selecting the female protagonists of the game. But the gameplay has been ruined for the sake of accessibility, and the oversexualized leftover has us still puzzled.

    We didn't expect much from Beyond Eyes and the short two hours we needed to complete the game proved us right. From an artistic point of view, the game is quite seducing but there are so few things to do there that it quickly becomes boring.

    Sadly, Crackdown 3 falls short of expectations, and there isn't much to save here. With sky-high ambitions, the game doesn't deliver much more than a load of fun action, wrapped into a severely outdated outfit.

    While Terminator : Resistance can be of some interest for the most die-hard fan of the IP thanks to it's clever use of the Future War storyline, everything else about the game falls short of expectations.

    Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games carries the same problems than Sotchi in 2014 : this 3DS version suffers from its too many experimental gameplays. All of them are not of the same quality. Some are barely correct as others are real nightmares. Really not enough to get a true replay value.

    Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia may be the last episode of the series, and the last of the franchise for the next full year, but it's not the one that will make us miss the franchise.

    Far from the original root of the series, Metal Gear Survive suffers from a very repetitive gameplay be it in solo or in multiplayer, and the not discreet at all micro-transctions don't help. At least the story is worthy and might hold your interest.

    Filled with goodwill, The Technomancer is one of the best RPG from Spiders, but the overall quality and the lack of budget take their toll on the final result which only offers a mild feeling.

    Resistance Burning Skies is the first FPS on PS Vita to use the game controls of an handheld device successfully, despite not being as good as Uncharted Golden Abyss or WipEout 2048 in terms of quality. The IP would have been better if the developers proposed more innovations as regards the level design, but the principal elements of the Resistance franchise have not been forgotten, espcially its multiplayer mode. For its first entry on PS Vita, Resistance Burning Skies copes pretty well.

    To tell the truth, we don't know what's sadder in this Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League. The desire at all costs for Warner to have his Fortnite with the DC overlay? That Rocksteady hasn't been able to transcend the experience despite its pedigree? That the story of this game is set in the same universe as Batman Arkham? No matter, this Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is, whatever happens, a huge waste, because in everything it tries to do, it never manages to convince. Probably because no one believed in this project, because many changes were made during its production and because this game was made under duress, and not from the heart.

    If we had to compare, Inazuma Eleven Strikers is clearly not as good as the previous games released on Nintendo DS. For sure, it has many qualities such as its career mode, the great number of players to unlock and nice animations used for shooting sequences. And yet, the lack of an online gaming experience and an old-fashioned production are not easy to forgive, as if Level-5 were keeping the remaining good parts of the game for the next title.

    If Chibi-Robot!: Zip Lash were very hyped, the disappointment is even greater. Nintendo has just given us one of the worst titles ever on the 3DS, and one of the worst Nintendo games of 2015.

    Saint Seiya : Soldiers' Souls does nothing better than Brave Soldiers, which was released in 2013. Very poor graphics, boring Campaign, and uninteresting gameplay reserve this new game for hardcore fans or collectors.

    NBA LIVE 15 offers an arcade approach to the basketball game, but despite some nice graphics, it is still a quite average game that hasn't enough to offer to keep basketball fans hooked up. Better than the previous one, but EA Vancouver has still some work to do.

    Mars: War Logs is really a low cost game. Sold for 20 euros, it delivers a complete adventure with a decent lifetime in spite of many faults. Even knowing that the game was developed on a tight budget, some points are rally hard to accept and the limited budget does not forgive everything. But we have to admit that for this price, we can't ask too much from a recent studio. Mars: War Logs is a small budget game which will entertain you and it's not a bad start, knowing that everything that was advertised is in the game. The promises are kept. We hope a new episode will come out and correct the many flaws of this game in order to provide a more satisfying game experience.

    Warcraft III Reforged could have been a hit remake, but in the end, it's a major disappointment with missing features, a lack of polish, and a lot of promises that failed to materialize.

    Blacksad: Under The Skin is a specific case where an overall good game gets totally ruined by the appalling technical side of things. Go for the PC version as it shows a much better finish.

    The desire was there, the passion of the developers too, but the Grendizer site was far too important for Microids and the Enroad studio. We do not know the real budget that was injected for the game, but if there is one thing that is certain, it is that the game lacked financial resources. Technically weak, and graphically ugly, this Goldorak unfortunately cannot hide these technological shortcomings under its cartoon D.A. The semi open world is obsolete and not up to par for a 2023 game. It's empty, it's bland, nothing happens, and the game is also riddled with collision bugs. Added to this are also numerous frame-rate problems which spoil the experience a little more, while problems with proportion and scale value ruin the feeling of being at the controls of a giant 33-meter robot made of metal.

    Despite its new cooperative gameplay, Epic Mickey 2 is not the epic sequel we were waiting for. The title developed by Junction Point studios lacks real ambition, especially regarding its technical innovations compared to the previous episode on Wii. And yet, Epic Mickey 2 offers enough hints to famous Disney productions and beautiful landscapes to satisfy players, and it will occupy them for hours thanks to its great game length and a amazing world to paint just as you like.

    Beware of numerous things before buying The Inpatient, like the overkill price tag for a 2-hour experience and the overall weakness of the plot, be it technically or on the story side.

    After a sub-par XXL 2 remastered, we hoped Asterix & Obélix XXL 3 would be a vast improvement, but we were wrong as the gameplay still insn't satisfying enough, with a fixed camera and many other problems.

    No need to debate further, this Asterix & Obelix Baffez les Tous 2 does not keep its promises. The marketing announced to us a “bigger better stronger” sequel when it is the opposite that we are receiving, namely the first episode much worse. Not only has the element of surprise disappeared, but nothing has changed or evolved. We therefore have the impression of playing the same game as in 2021 with many elements that have been removed.
