    With Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U, Katsuhiro Harada proposes a good sequel to the successful fighting game released on PS2. The gameplay mechanics are still intuitive but leave room for improvement. And yet, the use of the GamePad won't revolutionize the gameplay. Thanks to the Tag Crash and the Tag Assault attacks, the fighting sequences are now mostly well-balanced. Moreover, with tons of playable characters, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U is a clearly the kind of title that a lot of players will enjoy. As regards the introduction of the new Mushroom and Tekken Ball Battle modes, it's not really significant.

    Project CARS is simply the best racing sim that money can buy on eighth generation consoles thanks to a very nice physics engine and very decent content. A must buy for petrolheads.

    The Games Workshop franchise is particularly well-suited to Total War, which gets rid of its realistic and historical aspect to become crazier. Fantastic spells and demonic creatures are present, and it works well. In addition, Total War Warhammer 3 has the merit of offering us a quality scripted prologue, just to welcome novices as it should.

    Gorogoa is a very good small game with very good puzzles and a lovely artistic sense highlighted by a sublime soundtrack. On the downside, we would have loved a little bit more playtime as the games offers little more than two hours of enjoyment.

    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.

    The PC version of Death Stranding is clearly the superior version as it's better looking, but also offers more content, a new difficulty setting, and a few Easter eggs to Valve Software's franchises. On the other hand the game's initial drawbacks are still present, like that awful advertisement for an energy drink, or a messy UI.

    Gravity Rush allows players to alter gravity in order to reach any places, with heroine's head upside down. A great idea who makes the player feel as if he can fly through the entire city without limits. Despite minor gameplay issues, Gravity Rush is a unique experience, combining energetic fights and a true sense of adventure in gorgeous environments.

    NBA 2K18 keeps dominating the basketball game genre with perfect gameplay and better graphics each year. The career mode on the other hand is less than convincing with its pointless RPG style. The best basketball game on the market nevertheless.

    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.

    Grow Home is an interesting surprise from a publisher who get used to mismanaging his own IP's. This platformer like no other has everything going for you and for a very low price tag. You can easily give it a try.

    EA Sports UFC 2 is quite simply the best MMA game there is. Loaded with improvements over the past iteration, the game still suffers from a poor netcode and a very repetitive career mode.

    After spending 150 hours on it, finishing the main story of Yasuke and Naoe, and exploring every nook and cranny of the open world, we can tell you without any shame, we enjoyed the adventure offered in this feudal Japan of the 1500s. Everything is obviously not perfect, because the game still carries the stigmata of a license that has difficulty renewing itself, but there are positive things to be learned from it. By choosing to offer two radically different protagonists, the Ubisoft Quebec studio manages to bring together under the same banner the purists who swear by infiltration and the others who appreciate the action-RPG aspect taken since AC Origins in 2017.

    Final Fantasy VII: Remake is a fresh take on Square Enix's classic, with enough new stuff to bring in young gamers, and most of what made the game great over 20 years ago. A true "Remake."

    After more than 60 hours spent on the lands of Hokkaido, juggling main missions, side quests, and endless exploration, the answer isn’t simple. Sucker Punch plays on two fronts: technical conservatism and artistic boldness. Of course, the game isn’t perfect: some mechanics feel recycled, climbing remains archaic, stealth can be frustrating, and technically, you can tell the engine has its limits. But Ghost of Yotei more than makes up for these flaws with its world, storytelling, atmosphere, and that rare feeling of truly losing yourself in a dreamed-up, poetic, and simultaneously violent version of feudal Japan. In short, Ghost of Yotei isn’t a revolution, nor a breathtaking technical leap. It’s a respectful sequel, sometimes conservative, yet one that manages to elevate the original experience through its artistic direction, immersion, and narrative. It’s a game to be savored as much as played, one that delights, moves, and, above all, reminds us why we love virtual feudal Japan: for its landscapes, its mood, and those unforgettable moments when you truly feel like a part of the story.

    The Division is quite a pleasant surprise as long as you play it with some good friends. New York is well-duplicated and the content overshadows Destiny's, yet with some DLCs it will be perfect. The only drawback is the need for a permanent Internet connection.

    Streets of Rage 4 is the rightful heir to the series, and if it doesn't do too much in the way of new stuff, it's still a blast to play. A must-buy for the nostalgic gamers.

    Ben is back after 22 years with improved graphics, improved sounds, and a very low price tag. What's there not to like ? Not much. Maybe the gameplay on the Mine Road that shows it's age. A must-play for any gamer.

    Despite almost no genuinely new stuff in the game, and a easy-to-guess scenario, Rise of The Tomb Raider is one of the best games of the year thanks to an impeccable technical aspect and very good gameplay which alternates between action, exploration, climbing and a lot of loot.

    Shadow of War is one of the best action-RPGs of the year with an awesome combat system and an incredible amount of content which guarantees hours of quality entertainment. A must play for Tolkien fans.

    Shadow Warrior 2 is what the series is about. Lo Wang, humor, violence, a bit of crafting and RPGish things to get you wandering around, more violence, chopping, and gallons of blood. Would chop again!

    With an outstanding story coupled with awesome graphics, Frictionnal Game's last project has it all to make you shake with fear. But SOMA is much more than this because the story is truly believable. The only drawback is the gameplay we found a bit light for such a game.

    Far Cry 4 is one of the best solo /coop first-person shooters we've come across lately with massive content, a vast open world filled with life, and some truly awesome graphics on the PS4 version we reviewed. Just don't expect a revolution, but more of a Far Cry 3.5.

    There’s no doubt that Forza Horizon 6 is one of the strongest and most polished entries in the series. Japan gives the game a fresh visual identity, the mountain roads are incredible to drive on, exploration remains addictive, and the driving still feels unmatched in the arcade racing genre. But at the same time, you can also feel that Playground Games is starting to play things a little too safe. The biggest disappointment is probably its version of Japan, especially Tokyo, which feels a bit too clean and restrained. After years of fans dreaming about a Forza Horizon set in Japan, many expected something more vibrant, crazier, and more immersive culturally. Instead, the world sometimes feels slightly too westernized to deliver the total change of scenery people hoped for.Still, it would be unfair to focus only on that. Forza Horizon 6 remains an incredibly fun open-world racer. The driving is exhilarating, the progression feels more structured, and the map constantly makes you want to get in a car and drive with no destination in mind. It may not be the revolution some expected, but it’s still an excellent Forza Horizon and easily one of the most accomplished games in the franchise.

    Without changing anything, Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 offers an action packed game based on your ability to inflict a maximum of damage to your enemies. In spite of a very old graphics engine, the game offers a decent life with about 15 hours of play. With dynamic gameplay, the ip follows the likes of Devil May Cry and God of War for the fan's enjoyment. The only true drawback is a very poor script that loses the player in its turns before the grand finale where a very expected twist happens, destroying all hopes of a good story.

    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.

    Rome 2: Total War suffers from the same problem as the former episodes: a really poor finish for such a great game. It's a good thing that you can forget this thanks to the quality of the new Creative Assembly game and its strategic richness. More easy to play, full of new features, it will be enjoyed by regular players and newbies.

    With PES 2016, Konami makes a statement: they are back in the game. And at the heart of this final mutation is finely carved gameplay, based on the traditionally precise construction phases of the series and enhanced by new animations and collisions. The result is a game which is, at last, very nice to play.

    Bayonetta 1 & 2 is a very good remaster that brings the witch into the modern age with 720p 60fps display, and above all portability. The only drawback is that the first game shows its age, especially when in portable mode, but the gameplay makes all those complaints irrelevant.

    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]
