Gears of War 4 is not a breakthrough for the franchise, but it underlines a successful transition from Epic Games to The Coalition. We would have loved more risk-taking, but overall it's still a great game.

By staying steady on the steed 343 industries insures a nice game with Halo 5 Guardians. The solo offers a smooth ride and the new Warzone multiplayer mode is a great addition to the game as it offers a good option for more casual players.

Even if Assassin's Creed : Valhalla isn't as groundbreaking as Origins, we welcome some new content, and the comeback of the secret blade for instant kills. The historical aspect is also a nice aspect of the game, which separates it even more from purely fictional titles like God Of War. Overall a great experience.

With the enhanced graphics from the Legendary Edition, Skyrim offers nice looks and a very decent content on the Nintendo Switch. The only drawback is having to pay full price for a six years old game which is cheap on any other platform.

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.

Yakuza Like a Dragon shifts to a turn based fighting system which adds a new tactical layer to the game, and adopts a new character which we liked a lot ! Overall there isn't much to dislike about that new entry in the series.

Criterion Games proves once again they know how to make successful racing games. After a pleasant Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, the British video game developer offers a new version of Need For Speed: Most Wanted, bringing some Burnout elements to the IP. The title puts the leveling features aside, focusing on an experience players will enjoy instantaneously thanks to a new open-world universe and enough difficulty to hold them spellbound.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a very good game that the fans will enjoy, the gameplay mechanics, and graphics engine are a bit dater though but the storyline and the general feel of the game are enjoyable indeed.

Built upon the same cradle as many other rhythm games, Thumper is one of the best experiences we've had this year. Feeling a bit like Audiosurf, the game pushes the player to go beyond everything he knows about his reflexes, while being hypnotized by the greatness of the soundtrack/visuals combination.

Frostpunk is one of the best city-builders out there with rich gameplay mechanics and awesome graphics. We would have loved a sandbox mode, but that's about the only drawback we can find in this awesome game.

We thought the Uncharted series was over but Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a very good add-on to the IP built upon the foundations of Uncharted 4, but with a new interesting story centered on Nadine and Chloé.

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.

Taking inspiration from Konami's Turtles in Time as a reference, Tribute Games and DotEmu had little chance of missing their game. A true cry of love to a cult Super Nintendo game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is this little sweet candy that we keep in the mouth as long as possible to suck all the flavors.

It's hard not to be fascinated by the magical world of Hogwarts Legacy, so much the game has been made with passion. The first steps in this adventure are enchanting, especially when it comes to Hogwarts Castle, Hogsmeade and all the interiors in reality. It's beautiful, it's alive, it's teeming with details and contemplation is indeed there. Of course, not everything is perfect, but the game invites so much exploration with its ultra generous open world that we manage to close our eyes to certain flaws.

We expected an exceptional title and Capcom did not lie to us: Resident Evil Village is a great game and above all a great Resident Evil. A true mix between the horror of the seventh episode and the meticulous action of the fourth part, this new opus is the result of a particularly well calibrated and complete experience.

Xenoblade Chronicles X could have been a huge success if Monolith had put forth the same effort for the writing and the pace of their game that they did for the creation of the planet Mira.

Resogun is the little big surprise of the PlayStation 4 line-up. Offered with the PS Plus subscription, Housemarque's game is a perfect mix of Geometry Wars and Choplifter. Visually nice and attractive, it offers a harsh challenge though. Skill highly recommended. You'll be addicted.

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.

With six studios collaborating, The Division 2 is a blockbuster that builds itself upon the strengths of its predecessor. The game offers good gameplay, decent AI, and loads of content which is a good thing for power players. The game still lacks some soul and feels repetitive after a while.

Suffering from a relative lack of polish with collision bugs and a few hiccups, F1 2019 manages to impose itself as the best F1 game available thanks to its awesome AI and generous content.

Unsurprisingly, Fallout 4 is closer to Fallout 3 than it is to the former episodes. And it comes with all the qualities and problems we already know. But Fallout 4 belongs to this hypnotizing kind of games that you should not miss if you love Western RPGs.

As often, this BioShock Collection will prove its value to those who didn't play the three games it contains in the first place. The others will find an honest but modest remaster of three wonderful games.

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.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist wanted to go back to basics. By throwing a handful of RPG elements into the games, Ubisoft signs a great Splinter Cell that in spite of some faults, is a rightful heir to the franchise. Without revolutionizing the genre, it should seduce without trouble any lover of the genre or any fan of infiltration games. Powered with a powerful scenario and a well known graphics engine, Tom Clancy's franchise hands back a clean work without revolution but with enough evolutions to please the gamers.

Two Point Hospital is clearly the rightful heir of Theme Hospital, carrying over the same sense of humor and all the elements of a very good management game. There's no need to go on and on, you got it, it's a great game.

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.

PES 2018 puts the series on the tracks to redemption with a very good gameplay that will put pressure on FIFA 18 for sure. On the other hand, the official licences are still lacking and the UI is quite dull.

With DOOM The Dark Ages, the series takes a 180-degree turn, especially with a return to a less airborne, less frenetic DOOM compared to DOOM Eternal. The game might divide players who loved that ultra-fast FPS approach, but the developers at id Software wanted to shake up the formula. Those looking for a more grounded, back-to-basics experience will be pleased, especially since the gameplay centered around the shield-chainsaw, parries, and dodges offers a new dimension. There's less verticality and fewer aerial movements; this DOOM favors close combat but with the same brutality. While the sequences inside the large robot are fun, we're less fond of the dragon-riding sequences, which aren't always that engaging. Overall, we had a great time.
