    Crimson Dragon will probably hit its public among the fans of Panzer Dragoon, who will enjoy the old-school gameplay and atmosphere. On the other hand, gamers who just bought an Xbox One to experience new things or at least awesome graphics are in for a big disappointment: Crimson Dragon could have been an Xbox 360 game. That was the initial plan before it was delayed to the next gen system. In spite of a good artistic lead, the graphics are quite poor, the levels are very short and the railed cam is coming from another era. Happily, for 20€, the RRP of this digital exclusive stays quite reasonable.

    Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 is, exactly as the first one was, a bad Dynasty Warriors-like, only saved by its background. Fortunately, this kind of game is disappearing. Obsolete graphics and game mechanics will make you feel very tired after only few hours playing. You'll get it only if you're a very tolerant fan for its high fidelity to the manga.

    Rune Factory surely has some qualities with its long game experience and its colorful and aquatic universe that players will enjoy crossing thanks to the introduction of the Golem. However, the ones that usely play the IP to satisfy their farmer spirit, will be disappointed to see that all the hard work has been given to the mobs, the players' role consisting in checking if they have enough cookies to eat. Hopefully, fight sequences remain entertaining, yet repetitive.

    Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games leaves us unsatisfied, even with its not so big ambitions. Even so, there is no excuse for this permanent lack of precision and this very inappropriate latency. Ice hockey and curling will probably make you smile, and graphics aren't that bad, but those are almost the only arguments the game can have.

    Clearly not as good as a Call of Duty regarding its main campaign, or a Battlefield regarding the multiplayer modes, Warfighter remains a good game despite not being as innovative as players wanted it to be. Frosbite 2 may propose a pleasant visual experience, especially on PC, but it is not enough to create any form of enthusiasm, especially with its linear storyline. However, players will eventually find some kind of pleasure with its well-balanced and explosive gameplay.

    Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is clearly a fan-product with lots of content from the manga but very little appeal in terms of videogaming. The worst drawback is the repetitive aspect of the game with chains fights and boring side quests.

    Clearly too ambitious, Fade to Silence looses itself in the many things it tries, but ultimately fails, to achieve. Apart from the visuals, we can't really find anything appealing, from the rigid gameplay to the poor game design, and worst of all, that punishing permadeath system.

    Once upon a time, Dimps was known and respected for the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series, that introduced a revolution in fighting games. Since then, the studio has created bad games, up to the point where we wonder if the same team is still working in the studio. Saint Seiya : Brave Soldiers never reaches the seventh sense, stuck with a bad realisation and a gameplay that shows its limits after two hours. Bandaï Namco's Game gained in dynamism and is much more spectacular than the PS2 episodes, but still, as one of the last games of the PS3 we expected better. The fanboys will enjoy the 60 characters and the OST but that will be their only sweet spot.

    Homefront: The Revolution has everything a modern shooter needs : open-world game, loot system, crafting system… All these things will allow you to spend a good time but there are too many technical issues. Just wait for some patches.

    Whereas Knack does not justify buying a next gen console, this PS4 exclusive is not lacking interest. A clever mix between a nice classic gameplay, a very hard level of difficulty and cartoon graphics to go with the Disney-inspired scenario should get the attention of platform fans. Still plagued by a number of faults like a linear story and a badly set camera, Mark Cerny's game seduces us with its hard level and its uncommon hero. Loaded with badly-used qualities, this game is a call for a second opus which should have a better finish, more development time and a better knowledge of the console it's designed for.

    GTA Trilogy The Definitive Edition is a worthy remaster (and not a remake, do not confuse) of the classic GTA opus that defined the open-world genre. It's far from perfect, but it does make a 20 year old game widely playable nowadays.

    The Legend of Korra fails to fulfill its potential. With a little more money and time, it could have been a good surprise; as it is, we can barely advise it to the fans.

    With its too shy Immersive Sim aspect, its too limited RPG elements, its too systematic gameplay mechanics and its extremely dated technical achievement, Werewolf The Apocalypse Earthblood undoubtedly misses the mark.

    Rebellion gives only one thing for your 10 euros : the way to kill zombies. You kill them all the time, while moving, while waiting for a door to open, with some bigger ones from times to times, and do absolutely nothing else. Golden award for the most soporific gameplay ever, Sniper Elite : Nazi Zombie Army is simply boring to play, and should not appeal to any gamer thanks to an almost nonexistent content, ugly graphics and poor gameplay. Definitely a commercial trick as this content should not even be sufficient for a DLC. Anyway, we don't doubt that we'll be able to find that game for a couple of cents during the next Steam Sales if some masochists want to endure this experience.

    It's still quite difficult to tell somebody to buy Goat Simulator. The game is funny but completely glitched. The atmosphere is nutty, but the soundtrack is atrocious. It's merely interesting but easy to play. Well, Goat Simulator is an oddity.

    The Witch & The Hundred Knight is one of a kind, it's a title which tries to do something different in the very tight and narrow hack'n slash style. Nippon Ichi has made the choice of an hybrid gameplay, more tactical than you think and it can be a true strength. But the lack of rhythm in the narration and a very annoying camera, among other faults, make it just a little more than average.

    Time is flying and Dragon Ball videogames are sinking into mediocrity. Battle of Z may be one of the worst episodes of the saga. It's hard to say though if the lack of experience at Artdink studios was the main problem, or if it comes from their will to make something different. Nice try, but the result is awful. You just can't make a Dragon Ball game and forget about the offline multiplayer! And even if you can overcome that, you'll land in an atrocious cocktail of blurry colors and unintelligible action. Your one and only solution : don't buy it.

    Let's be realistic: Spiders ain't Bioware and Bound By Flame is not Dragon Age. But the french studio tries it's hardest and gives us a quite hard RPG, far from the mainstream easiness of games. Each fight is an adventure, you better be a fan of Dark Souls than Super Mario RPG to enjoy that game. Anyway, you will have to close your eyes on some real flaws (weird level design, poor AI, boring script..) Happily, Bound By Flame is coming at a time where RPG are quite rare. If Spider's game won't replace Dragon Age Inquisition or Risen 3, it can be a way to wait until those latest editions come out.

    As of today, Fallout 76 feels more like a rushed game that turned out to be a failure than a true member of the Fallout family. If the whole feels broken, there is potential, and after months (or years) of patches, it could become a good option for Fallout fans.

    Dakar 18 is a game that accurately depicts rallye-raid and it's focus on navigation rather than speed. It's highly recommended for fans of this genre of race, but feels incredibly tedious for regular gamers. moreover, the game lacks polish and has bugs in abundance. Proceed with caution.

    We were convinced by the proposition of this Silent Hill The Short Message, which takes up the concept of the P.T. by integrating it into a modern story, a mirror of our society. Everything is not perfect, far from it and we would have liked to have more gameplay mechanics, puzzles, some more concrete moments of freak out, but as a party game, it does the job well. And let's not forget that it's free.

    Available on PC since November 2018, Leisure Suit Larry Wet Dreams Don't Dry is a nice tip of the hat to the old games. The point'n click gameplay is solid, and if there's nothing new, it still all feels fun and tight.

    Warhammer 40 000 : Eternal Crusade tries to do a lot of things, promised a lot and achieved not so much eventually. Let's hope that developers don't give up on it and maybe we'll be able to play it as a nice disciple of Battlefield in the Warhammer 40k universe.

    Even without its specific history, Mighty N° 9 would have been a disappointment. Unable to bring innovative features, the new game from Keiji Inafune also fails to modernize the classic recipe of the Megaman series.

    Rabbids Land is clearly the title that has been developed too quickly, with not enough resources to do justice to the Wii U. With its long animations and some mini-games that should have been more explored, Ubisoft's title lacks the interesting ideas that made the IP so successful in the past. A shame when you know the Rabbids universe could easily make you smile with their crazy jokes.

    Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 delivers what it promised to do, meaning not much, but that fact alone is worth mentioning. Forget all about the big productions of the market, here we clearly are in another market share: Low Cost gaming. This Dacia of the videogame, once the buyer don't expect the full service, starts scoring points in the spirit of the fanatic of sniper games. If we cant consider recommending this game to the first gamer we meet, a real hardcore gamer fond of Sniper action might well like it. In the mean time, the gamer that does not want to pay the full price (70€) for a game that's so specialized in it's offering, could appreciate this games which is sold at a bargain price.

    OVERKILL's The Walking Dead is a clever take on the series with a subtle mix of stealth and gunfights to survive the numerous foes of the lore. Sadly, the game is ruined by bugs, the lack of tutorial, the long loading times, and a lack of vocal chat and the balance problems.

    Syberia 3 is appealing to the fans of this IP, but newcomers will be shocked by the technical issues that makes the game unimmersive and quite frankly, difficult to play with those awful controls.

    Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories could have been an interesting game about earthquakes if it didn't feel like it was made 15 years ago, as the visuals are appalling.

    Think about a Diablo-like game without any loot system, or a Dragon Age without dialogue. Then you have an idea of what the true nature of Confrontation is. A game which is neither a role-playing game nor an RTS title.
