    Super Mario 3D World is using mechanics from another century, but is Nintendo to blame if old recipes still work? The risk-taking stays minimal, and the core gamers will mostly enjoy the two last worlds in spite of a difficulty level that has improved significantly. Impossible to forget the level design and the precision of the gameplay, which defines the game. Even the multiplayer mode is good in spite of some camera problems. Nintendo set everything to perfection and most players should enjoy this Super Mario 3D World.

    DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition admirably brings Ninja Theory's reboot from 2013 to PS4 and Xbox One. The 1080p definition and 60fps sublimates the gameplay, making it even more nervous. The right way to take on the new challenges the game has to offer.

    The main attraction in Titanfall remains the gameplay. On this side, there is no doubt that Respawn did a really great job. It's excellent, handy even with the profusion of possibilities. The parts of the game you play in Titans and you play on your feet are very well-balanced as well. However, it's difficult to hide the small number of modes and their lack of originality.

    Horizon: Zero Dawn - Frozen Wilds is a good DLC that shows that Guerrilla has mastered the making of an open world, even if the story is not as good as the main one. The infiltration system could use some work too but overall it's very decent content for fans of the IP.

    The war ain't some glorious thing like portrayed in Call of Duty; it's the definition of darkness and horror as This War of Mine will show you. What's the price of survival? It's yours to decide in this truly awesome game.

    If Nintendo refuses to start developing new licenses, it's only because the firm already has enough talent to efficiently renew it's existing ones with a success others have yet to match. Luigi's Mansion 2 is a perfect example of this pattern as Luigi's new adventures in haunted houses hack your mind like drugs once the player understands the finer points of the game. The gameplay has a great finesse which is very enjoyable and the directing along the general atmosphere are almost a masterpiece. Of course the lack of a second controlling stick is not the best feature of the game and we would have liked a multiplayer mode with more rhythm. But the number of qualities provided by Luigi's Mansion 2 makes this game a classic of the 3DS lineup.

    Ghostrunner is an excellent die&retry game with high intensity, a perfect gameplay, and a sublime OST made by Daniel Deluxe. If you like fast-paced games with a cyberpunk atmosphere, you have to give this one a go.

    Fot its first venture into the next gen' realm, NBA 2K21 scores hard, with improved visuals a better framerate, and the reworked shoot system from Visual Concepts. We only wish the new Career mode would have been better.

    Translating 13 years of legacy into a gigantic open world was quite a big challenge, and FromSoftware did it brilliantly with Zelda Breath of the Wild as a guide. But, to be honest, we don't share the opinion of most of our colleagues: Elden Ring is an excellent title, but it still lacks something to have the stuff of a GOTY 2022.

    SoulCalibur 5 is a true success with it's awesome gameplay and the feeling players can have while fighting. We only hoped the technical side of things would have been better with what current hardware can do.

    As we expected, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart is a true next-gen experience, harnessing the many capabilities of the PlayStation 5 with flying colors. Supported by a wonderful artistic direction, we have here a really impressive technical showcase, proving once again that the DualSense has potential that can change a lot of things.

    Mafia Definitive Edition is the example of a well-made remake, with vastly improved graphics, and enough new stuff to keep every gamer hooked, be it a newbie, or one that has already done the original game. Still, we miss the Extreme Freeride mode that disappeared from this version.

    Zandatsu is quite a good symbol for this Metal Gear Rising Revengeance : a development divided, fragmented but a game that is highly efficient. Very short indeed, you can see it suffered from this change of direction. Nevertheless, with such a turbulent life, Rising manages to give players a rare and intensive game experience. Definitely, it's an Enfant Terrible, a Son of Liberty.

    Three years after its initial release, Horizon: Zero Dawn is still a great game, and that Complete Edition offers all the contents available, and nicer graphics. The only drawback is the lack of stability, and many crashed that are still happening. Guess it'll buffer out with time and patches.

    We expected a lot from Dead Space 3 and were not disappointed. The game keeps all its promises, with true moments of tension proving that Visceral Games hasn’t betrayed the Dead Space series. Horror is there, and we have never seen such violent Necromorphs. This perfect balance between action sequences and anguish is efficient, avoiding Dead Space 3 making the same mistake as Resident Evil 6. But we must be honest with the fans: if the next Dead Space has more action scenes, there will be reason to fear the worst. Since it’s not a perfect game, it’s important to highlight the poor cover system and the lack of boss fights. Although the deep weapon crafting system is likely to annoy the purists, Dead Space 3 remains a great experience you have to live.

    Even if Total War: Warhammer 2 was made in a short time, it is clearly better than its first iteration thanks to the four new races, the new story mode and the many gameplay improvements.

    Beyond Two Souls is at last available on PC, and with a more recent release than Heavy Rain, it looks gorgeous with 4K and 60 FPS. If you haven't yet finished the game on consoles, or haven't tried it yet, go for the PC version.

    Finally the chapter concept hasn't done any harm to the new HITMAN. It's the opposite in fact as every level has been meticulously done and the global feeling is that quality is here. If you're a fan don't wait any longer and go for the full season.

    We can now say it : Dynasty Warriors is a license that has come a long way, a very long way even. After a decade of going around in circles, multiplying episodes that don't care and failed attempts to do like the West with its poorly put-together open worlds, the saga ended up getting lost. But neither Koei Tecmo nor the Omega Force studio gave up, and after a good bit of soul searching, the two entities were able to identify the choices to make to make this saga shine again, which has been reborn from its ashes. Thanks to producer Tomohiko Sho, Dynasty Warriors Origins was able to take a 180 degree turn, without denying its fundamentals. We are still dealing with a massive, brutal and enjoyable beat'em all on the surface, but which has been able to refine its gameplay in order to make it more demanding and even more satisfying.

    Spec Ops The Line is a good TPS whose lack of originality regarding its gameplay mechanics can be easliy criticized. And yet, the title offers a great experience, depicting a bright and apocalyptic vision of Dubaï, just as if players were there. The mise-en-scène of Spec Ops The Line also manages to share, both psychologically and physically, the craziness experienced by our heroes. Finally, the classic multiplayer modes make us forget the short time needed to finish the main campaign.

    Guitar Hero Live has finally comeback to it's former glory thanks to the amazing work put in by FreeStyleGames. The new improved buttons on the guitar rejuvenates the gameplay, and the only flaw we can think of is that you can only rent online songs, even if you paid for it with your own money.

    With its remarkably effective 4 Vs 1 asymetric gameplay, 2K's latest shooter brings an alternative to the likes of COD and BF. With a new concept that makes you hunt before you fight, Trutle Rock's game has it all to make its mark in the e-sports arena.

    Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is probably the best episode in the Capcom series, even if we're talking about evolutions and not revolutions. It's also a very good ambassador for the New 3DS.

    Destiny 2 is clearly better on PC with improved visuals and a much sleeker gameplay when you aim with a mouse, the only drawback being that you need quite a tough PC if you really want to push the graphics to the max.

    By mixing a card game and rogue-like mechanics, Meg Crit Games made Slay The Spires a very addictive game in which only the graphics are a let-down.

    It's nice to discover this brand new take on Lara Croft with this next-gen version. But there's nothing outstandingly new here to be fair. High framerate means obviously flawless gaming comfort and Lara's looking much better now. There is some extra content too, but if you bought the older version, there's no real reason to pay once again. Especially when it's full price.

    Clearly inspired by Fumito Ueda's games, RiME manages to get it's own feel thanks to a splendid artistic work and a beautiful music. A masterpiece that's only let down by the short playtime it offers.

    DiRT Rally 2.0 is still the benchmark in terms of rallying simulation, but we regret that Codemasters has made the choice to sell as DLC content that was previously available in the first iteration of the game.

    Warhammer 40,000 : Dawn of War 3 is clearly a very good strategy game which follows in the footsteps of it's predecessors. The only drawback is the obvious lack of content which calls for future DLC.

    In spite of a reduced enemy pool which gives the incentive to kill the same foe over and over, and regardless of its short story, Moss is one of the best PlayStation VR games out there. The camera is used with skill and helps create a strong link between Quill and the player.

    GetsuFumaDen : Undying Moon announces about a year of updates before it reaches its truly final version. These future patches will be necessary to correct the progression and balance of the game, which respectively prove to be too laborious and too punitive at the moment. But these very real flaws do not prevent Konami's rogue-like from being very pleasant already. [Early Access Review Score = 75]

    Sold at a very low price, Goat of Duty isn't a joke like Goat Simulator has been, and tries to get into the competitive shooter scene by taking elements from the likes of Quake and Unreal tournament. Clearly worth its 7 bucks price tag ATM. [Early access score = 70

    Take a little Animal Crossing, add a pinch of Stardew Valley, mix it all up in a Disney cauldron, and you've got Disney Dreamlight Valley! If the formula gives the impression of having the air of a thoughtful marketing project, the game is actually surprisingly effective and endearing. [Early Access Score = 80]
