    Without revolutionizing the shooter-looter genre in any way, Outriders does things efficiently and offers frenetic non-stop action that goes frankly well with co-op play. Too bad the game is repetitive and subject to technical instability, which spoils the game experience.

    It Takes Two is a true couple therapy in which the two players (mandatory coop) will have to work together to overcome a large variety of challenges and activities. The overall feel of the game is very refreshing, but some minor flaws are still there (like poorly balanced minigames).

    Kaze and the Wild Masks is a nice platformer with cool pixel art visuals, but if the gameplay is good, the difficulty waves from too easy to incredibly hardcore, which is quite a let down. Overall a nice game, even if it's no match for the best productions of the industry, like Ori.

    Monster Hunter Rise really feels like a true opus and not just a spin-off which is high praise for that Switch version. The UI isn't perfect tho, and the need for hardcore farming can scare some players.

    By adapting Super Mario 3D World on Nintendo Switch and adding an unprecedented adventure to it, Nintendo is playing finely and scores points. Indeed, fans who have already played the original game on Wii U and those who missed it at the time have a good reason to get Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. This iteration perfectly complements Super Mario 3D World, don't miss it.

    Like the first épisode, Little Nightmares 2 plays on childhood fears to distill a particularly unhealthy and disturbing atmosphere. If the gameplay goes better with the arrival of a companion, the handling remains unfortunately perfectible. Not enough to sulk our pleasure, this little adventure remains both charming and scary.

    Sweet mix between Destruction Derby and Twisted Metal, the game from Lucid Games has some good ideas, but never manages to make them come true. There is fun, explosion, but it lacks depth. Fortunately, it is offered in the PlayStation Plus this month.

    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.

    If it is not quite the great game that we could have hoped for, The Medium is nonetheless an endearing adventure, which can be enjoyed with pleasure. Finally, despite some very real efforts (RTX and HDR in particular), the technical aspect is more of an AA budget than AAA.

    HITMAN 3 concludes the trilogy started in 2016 in style, on almost all points. The level design shows itself as always brilliant, while the scenario really makes things evolve. This new iteration can also be a valid entry point for new gamers.

    Ten years after Super Meat Boy, SMB Forever has the merit to try something new and yes, maybe surprising. Unfortunately, the switch from a classic platform game to an autorunner risks leaving a lot of fans behind. But the game absolutely does not sink into mediocrity despite its few flaws.

    Shady Part of Me looks very similar to games like Alice, Contrast, Inside, Limbo and Little Nightmares in terms of atmosphere, gameplay or artistic direction. Despite all these influences, the game has its own personality and manages to seduce us frankly.

    DOOM Eternal still feels great on the go in its Switch version, but of course, you'll have to be ready to make do with sub-par visuals. Thankfully, Panic Button defined the 30 fps framerate as a top priority, which guarantees a playable game at all times, even if the resolution has to dip very low at some times to keep the frames coming. It's blurry, but it's fast.

    Sadly Twin Mirror gives us the feeling that Dontnod has a shortage of ideas, as the game feels like another iteration on Life is Strange's concept. The narrative isn't special anymore, the few dialogue options are way too shallow, and the few puzzles can't make up for the lot. It's not a bad game overall, but it feels like the Xerox machine has done most of the work.

    Call of the Sea isn't as groundbreaking as what the sales pitch would make you think. It's a very classic puzzle game which doesn't stand out from the rest. Thankfully, le visuals are great, the narrative is a good surprise as it has multiple endings.

    On PS5 and Xbox Series X, FIFA 21 enjoys a healthy bump in graphical quality, with a Forstbite engine that's impressive as ever. But outside of this visual improvement, the game hasn't changed, and the same problems are still there.

    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.

    Cyberpunk had the potential of being one of the contenders to the GOTY 2020 title, with an incredible city that delivers a strong atmosphere and really beautiful graphics on PC thanks to the extensive use of Nvidia RTX. On the other hand, it’s let down by under-used features and can’t live up to the hype surrounding its release, especially given the appalling technical aspect of the game, with truckloads of bugs, and very serious performance issues, even on a very powerful PC. We bet it will be the GOTY 2021 in 6 to 8 months when everything’s been ironed out.

    Immortals Fenyx Rising is a fun game that joyfully brings us into the Greek mythology, buts it also feels quite unpolished, with many aspects being either too familiar from Ubisoft games or just badly made.

    World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is a very good expansion of the original game, and the sheer amount of content makes us forget about the lack of a new race or new class.

    Football Manager 2021 is still the undisputed king of the soccer management sim. It's sheer content and the new features added this year make this opus a must-have for every soccer fan.

    It's hard to hold a grief against Astro's Playroom, as it's a wonderful showcase for the PS5's DualSense controller, which also brings back memories of oldschool plateformer fun. Moreover, it's free with every PS5 unit purchase.

    DiRT 5 looks good, but feels way too dull to really trigger our love of arcade racing, specially with a lousy AI and multiplayer races that all end up in a demolition derby round. At least, Playground mode saves the day and brings a welcome dose of pure fun into the mix.

    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a nice muso that pulls all the right strings to seduce the fans of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. If you can forget about the lousy visuals and the repetitiveness of it all, you might enjoy the nice gameplay it offers.

    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.

    Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition isn't groundbreaking, but it's a nice touch for the fans as vergil's new gameplay is quite enjoyable. We would have liked a bit more TLC on 9th gen consoles tho, but at least the loading times are gone and we got ray tracing, even if that takes a hard toll on framerate.

    Demon's Souls may be a remake form a game released in 2009, but it's clearly the only game currently available that offers visuals that truly feel next gen. Moreover it's a very good remake of an already awesome game, a must buy if you have a PS5.

    XIII Remake could well be called a demake as this new version feels a step back from the original game. Littered with bugs, the game is rendered almost unplayable, and we still don't get how it could be released in this state.

    The Bluecoats: North & South is quite posibly the worst remake we've seen this year (considering it's a remake of another remake). For 40 buck you'll have barely 2h of gameplay, but a truckload of bugs and technical problems. Avoid it, even if you're a fan of the books.

    Tetris Effect is back again, and it brings all the multiplayer modes along, which is a great add to the content. Sure it lacks coms between players, and you sometimes end up playing versus a bot, but overall, it's a great game, specially if you missed the original release two years ago.
