This game was just lacking some real modern graphics improvements as well as more consistent AI decisions, but ultimately it's still a great episode.

Borderlands 2 VR is what we loved in the original game plus the VR gameplay with the hands recognition. It is one of the longer games playable in VR and the only major default is that you cannot play it in coop.

Rising from its ashes, Yu Suzuki’s saga is still a legend and this amazing adventure hasn’t aged at all. Still, this port would have required a little more care.

Quotation forthcoming.

Obversation is a weird little game. With little means, it dares jostle the player and has a good balance between its unique gameplay and its sci-fi scenario. A true UFO.

Dead Island 2 does not revolutionize the saga or the survival game, but provides the essentials. Dambuster Studios offers fans of zombie survivalism a bloody and sunny journey to the heart of a red-painted City of Angels. Mutilating the emaciated has never been so brutal and the pleasure felt so visceral. This FPS is not perfect, far from it, and suffers from a certain repetitiveness that it tries to erase with undeniable generosity. The Dead Island franchise is well and truly back, a resounding return through the front door.

Black Future '88 is a fast paced, dynamic and accurate Run & Gun but truly lacks of content and gets sometimes too challenging and repetitive due to the timed runs.

Faithful to its predecessor, Beyond a Steel Sky is a success on consoles. Taking advantage of the 4K resolution and fully dubbed dialogues, this version puts the player in an armchair. More stable and comfortable, the adventure turns out to be pleasant thanks to the impactful writing, colorful characters and a city more surprising than ever. The lack of life is however glaring and may hamper those looking for a spectacular setting.

AOT2: Final Battle targets the fans who want to experience again the events from the anime/manga. This expansion adds so many content that it will keep you busy for a long time. But it’s very classic and repetitive.

The fun of the platform is obviously intact, Mario remains Mario, but we quickly realize that the concept is not without flaws. The levels repeat and going through the classic 1-1 in a loop due to the capricious random selection and the weird progression is a little tense.

The Gardens Between's story certainly does not shine but the game features a brilliant concept and artistic design and delivers a truly enjoyable experience.

Yes, the game lacks readability when there are too many enemies. Yes, its level design sometimes loses the player. But Carrion is a successful game that takes being a monster to the extreme.

Generous in terms of fan service, equipped with complementary scripted modes and gameplay ideas that blend well with the style of the original work, Rise of New Champions is a good Captain Tsubasa game, but in some ways it forgets to be a good soccer game.

Because we must not lie to each other, opting for an old-fashioned challenge is a real risk-taking for the publisher and such an approach will not suit everyone. It's a real niche game! But qualitatively, Ghosts'n Goblins is a complete success that will only indulge the more daring. We died but we loved it!

With its challenging prestige elimination race proposition, Ara: History Untold is a relevant addition to the 4X genre, boasting some really nice detailed models, a very satisfying crafting optimization system, and a rather dense non-linear tech tree. Too bad the diplomacy is so frustrating and the concept shows some limitations after about fifteen hours of play.

To die every 60 seconds could quickly get old, but Minit is smart enough to avoid any kind of frustration during the adventure. Purposely minimalistic, the pixelated art direction shines with personality.

Cult video game saga, Metal Gear Solid remains equal to itself and this compilation reminds us of all the qualities of the works of Japanese creator Hideo Kojima. Let it be said, it's a real pleasure to do each episode in chronological order (or not) and to relive some of the most epic moments in video game history (yes, yes, we can say...). But on the other hand, with such a series available, we cannot help but rail against the absence of certain elements (Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes to name but one) and a technique which would have deserved a best treatment. Konami's initiative is not bad in itself, but we keep the bitter feeling that they recovered the HD Collection by dusting it off slightly to create this compilation. After all, these video games will forever remain pure masterpieces and it can be a wonderful opportunity to (re)discover them.

Even though it’s never going much higher, this third episode is treating with care all the topics it deals with. Its conclusion gives us high hopes for the big final ending coming soon.

If Chrono Cross The Radical Dreamers Edition allows a new audience to discover a cult PS1 game in good conditions, the latter could have been better. On the one hand, this remaster benefits from updated graphics, an improved soundtrack but also new accessibility options and exclusive content that makes it interesting both for neophytes and for those who know already the title. But on the other hand, between the lack of a tutorial, perfectible menu ergonomics, but above all a still unstable framerate, this update could have offered a better rendering. It remains to be seen whether patches will correct some of its problems in the future to make the experience even more pleasant.

LEGO DC Super-Villains doesn’t take any risk and stays true to the old formula. But it’s still well-crafted and it’s a good fit for any youngster trying to step in the gaming world.

Without being perfect, Narita Boy offers a pleasant neo-retro ride. Visually sublime, it manages to push the codes inherited from the 80s further than a few games before it.

Everybody’s Golf VR is a light version of the original game by Clap Hanz. The game plays really well but it doesn’t hide the lack of content. And it choses to be more approachable, it won’t please the fans.

Darksiders Genesis perfectly mixes Action-RPG and puzzle platformer mechanics, delivering an experience closer to Darksiders 1 than Diablo, and doubles the fun featuring a local/online coop mode.

An excellent visual novel that sublimates the reputation of an anthology license. Yoshio Sakamoto has sharpened his pen to offer better twists, a more generous narrative and a mystery that is always pleasant to follow. The polished visual work, the full dubbing and the overall richness of the artistic direction are only there to refine a high-end narrative experience, barely tarnished by an action plan that is still too classic.

This hybrid version of the adventures of Tanjiro and the demon slayers provides the essentials in terms of gameplay, content and performance. The title of Sega, Aniplex and CyberConnect2 even allows itself the luxury of aligning a complete roster of Day One fighters. The video game adaptation of Demon Slayer on Nintendo Switch is recommended for fans of the manga and / or anime who have not yet yielded to the call of fan service.

Semblance is a cool little game which invites you to experiment in various ways. Sadly, it’s way too short and there are some annoying bugs all over the place. But still, it’s a very interesting game.

Clearly, Starlink: Battle for Atlas is repetitive and its storytelling is more than conventional. But the dogfight and the big open world are just so much fun. A good addition to the toys/video games cross-over.

The Alliance Alive may not reinvent the JRPG, but it still offers a solid game experience thanks to good tactical battles and to a fun character progression.
