    Day of the Tentacle stays one of the all time best point & click games ever made, and this remastered version is quite well-rounded with awesome graphics and an option to get the genuine 1993 visuals for nostalgia's sake.

    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.

    Monster Games did the job with Xenoblade Chronicles 3D : if he's not being offered some really new features or functionalities, the player will still enjoy an undiminished experience.

    Beyond the commercial gamble, Fire Emblem Fates is an excellent tactical-RPG, just like Fire Emblem Awakening was. This new game takes back everything that worked in the previous entry (relationships, support) and adds some very addictive elements, like the castle management or this three-headed story you'll want to explore completely.

    Unlike The Wind Waker, Zelda: Twilight Princess suffers from the damages of time. This HD version makes its empty, edgy places, its out-of-age animations and its character design even worse. The game's still captivating though.

    Cadence of Hyrule successfully mixes the gameplay from Crypt of the Necrodancer with the Zelda universe in a very nice game that only suffers from being quite short.

    Monster Hunter Generations improves an already excellent breed with new gameplay mechanics, and four new combat stances which can suit any style of player. The content is immense, and the stamina bar is at last unlimited when you run. The only problem is that you need the Circle Pad or the C-stick of the New 3DS to manage the view angle.

    Mario + The Rabbids Kingdom Battle was a very good game, and Mario + The Rabbids Sparks of Hope is a very good sequel! We instantly find our bearings, as well as the improbable but effective cross between the colorful world of Mario and the delirious one of the Rabbids. However, the formula has been sufficiently renewed so that no repetition effect is felt.

    Dirt Rally is without a doubt the best rally game available at the moment if you're looking for an uncompromising sim. Immaculate physics and great graphics are only tarnished by the limited content.

    Metroid Samus Returns is a very good remaster of the original GameBoy game with a load of new features that make the game more user-friendly. We only wish the hard mode would have been included in the game, and not exclusive to amiibo owners.

    Dragon Quest VIII 3D is every bit as good as the genuine PS2 game with a huge life and an awesome OST. The new features like the ability to speedup the fights are a welcome touch that will surely attract a younger audience.

    Ni No Kuni is not a bad game strictly speaking, but frightfully irritating. Beautiful, nearly an artistic piece, packed with enchanted moments, especially for a younger audience, the Level-5's game miss its target. With its unbalanced difficulty, Ni No Kuni can easily put children aside and its lack of thickness will bore adults. It's a shame.

    Who is this Zelda Echoes of Wisdom really for? This is the perfectly legitimate question that one can ask oneself after finishing the adventure, not without some desire to give up along the way. By wanting to play the break with the remake of A Link's Awakening and avoid taxing this episode as a simple DLC with a playable Zelda, Nintendo has opted for a gameplay that is the opposite of what a Zelda game represents for many people. No real combat here, but instead room for reflection and puzzle solving, that's the heart of the gameplay and we can obviously understand that the game risks displeasing a large part of the usual audience.

    The Outer Worlds is truly the rightful heir to Fallout, but that religious respect for the origins means that nothing new is here. Still a very good action-RPG game that will help you forget Fallout 76.

    Violent, fast and visceral, Doom finally returns to its origins. The atmosphere and gameplay undoubtedly remind us of how powerful the saga was in the 90's.

    In this next gen' era filled with crappy ports, NBA 2K14 is an exception, a great example with brand new graphics engine allowing impressive graphics. Visual Concepts's Basketball sim delivers graphics never seen in a sport games, and gives a meaning to the term next gen' on par with Killzone : Shadow fall and Battlefield 4. But beyond impressive graphics NBA 2K14 keeps touching perfection in terms of gameplay, still as precise as ever, with a game experience still more satisfying due to the very well done AI. You still don't know what game to buy for your PS4 or your Xbox One? Think again.

    The first season of Life is Strange is an experience between Quantic Dream productions and Telltale games. Something like a third lane, that becomes only darker and deeper with time. We're looking forward to see what Dontnod can make with the rewind in a second season.

    Metro Exodus was already a graphic yardstick in its basic version, but this new edition manages to raise the bar even higher. This progress is mainly due to a more advanced integration of ray tracing, which brings in particular an extremely realistic light.

    Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater isn’t the bold reimagining some fans might have hoped for. Instead, it’s a visually stunning update that preserves the 2004 classic almost to the letter : story, voice acting, cinematics, and gameplay included, with all their dated quirks. Unreal Engine 5 delivers impressive character models, environments, and lighting, but the clunky mechanics, outdated AI, and stiff animations remind you of the game’s age. For newcomers, it’s still a fantastic gateway into Snake’s world of stealth and espionage. For veterans, it’s a nostalgic return, faithful, polished, but not revolutionary.

    Spider-Man: Miles Morales isn't a big surprise as it's a direct sequel to the game released in 2018. The new hero offers a rejuvenated gameplay thanks to its powers, but the game doesn't really feel next gen', partly due to the choice we have to make between 4K Ray-Tracing or 60 FPS.

    Expressing its love for beautiful cars and intuitive driving controls, Forza Horizon offers a new arcade and fun dimension that could not be found in the Forza Motosport series. Playground Games manages to create a pleasant road trip where competition can easily replace our need to travel. With hundreds of cars to unlock, Forza Horizon proposes a well-balanced gameplay, despite some problems regarding the A.I. and the multiplayer modes.

    Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition is pretty much similar to Arkham Asylum. Less focused on the story, Rocksteady's game sticks to the usual codes linked to the famous Dark Knight, flying from crime scene to crime scene across Gotham City. A great liberty of action that offers diversified gameplay sequences. However, the Wii U version suffers from freezing problems and the new gameplay mechanics introduced by the GamePad are mostly anecdotal.

    True Survival-RPG without peaceful moments, Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition will convey either fascination or hatred, being an terrible hardcore game. Players that were looking for a simple Action-RPG title will have difficulties to appreciate its tough gameplay, whereas the ones looking for the ultimate challenge will welcome Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition with open arms. It's a shame the PC version doesn't bring any particular features compared to the console versions.

    With Pragmata, Capcom comes in with a pretty bold idea, a dual gameplay system where shooting and hacking happen at the same time, and honestly, it works really well. The whole dynamic between Hugh and Diana is easily the highlight, and once the hacking clicks, the fights feel fast, tense, and really fun. The game is at its best when everything flows together, Hugh feels great to control, super mobile, and Diana’s hacking system becomes pretty natural after a while. That contrast between the two is really what makes the game stand out. But yeah, it’s not perfect. The progression gets repetitive, the game is pretty easy overall, and the bosses, while cool-looking, don’t really push you that much. Story-wise, it’s also pretty standard. There are a few nice moments between Hugh and Diana, but overall it’s a bit predictable, and sometimes a little cheesy. Still, for the gameplay alone, Pragmata is worth checking out, just don’t expect it to last more than about 10 hours.

    Beneath its appearance of a simple and cute tribute to Zelda, Tunic actually hides a rather difficult experience, which borrows a lot from Dark Souls and others. A game almost out of nowhere but which deserves your greatest attention.

    With Super Smash. Bros 3DS, Nintendo gives a finger to all people who forgot what genius was required to make all those pretty IP's work together. We're not dealing with a Street Fighter or a KOF episode, and then, this new Smash Bros. gameplay is deeper than deep. More than that: it's beautiful and smooth, even online. The left stick is fragile and we can only regret the fact that you'll probably need an XL to fully enjoy the game, but this new entry is a true gem.

    Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster is a nice remake of two great games. Technically (and that's the point of this HD version), there's nothing to complain about, and you will also be able to play some new content from the International editions. But we can't avoid a few disappointments: no Japanese voices and no cross-buy between Vita and PS3.

    As FIFA 17 will take a few gambles in order to build something new, PES 2017 rather has improved and polished what Konami is trying to do for two or three years now. It will be time for the big changes next year.

    Despite it's lack of official content and the dullness of the career mode, partly due to the sloppy AI, Assetto Corsa is simply the best racing sim ever developed. Everything smells the love of cars, from its jaw breaking physics to the amazing graphics, and just that feel of the car. A new benchmark for racing sims.

    Nioh 2 walks on the path made by its predecessor, taking its strengths but also its weaknesses like the complex UI or the loads of loot, but the gameplay saves it all, and make this game a true challenge.
