Milestone continues, with Ride 4, the evolution of its 2-wheel racing simulator with ever more realism whether in terms of graphics or physics engine, but also the introduction of elements inherited from MotoGP: artificial intelligence ANNA, tire wear and fuel management. In addition, it is also necessary to add here the appearance of dynamic lighting depending on the time of day and the variable weather, as well as an endurance mode introducing a new type of racing. Too bad the environments always fall short of the rest and that accidents related to the driving of other pilots are so recurrent.

Contrary to the received idea conveyed by the first trailer of the game, Genshin Impact has its own identity coupled with mechanics that certainly already work elsewhere. However, he manages to stand out with his kawaii side and his system of elements. Between a dynamic gameplay, a very good quality soundtrack and a rather rich history, the game of miHoYo manages to rise in the box of the very good games of the genre despite its gacha-game side. In addition to offering cross-play between all platforms and being free, it follows in the footsteps of other headlines and could very well become one of the good surprises of this end of the year 2020 (if it doesn't. is not already done).

Years go by and look the same, but this year it really feels like EA Sports has taken into account the community's feedback for its new opus. Right now FIFA 21 is a very good game, but the big question is, "Will it stay so as the season progresses?" Only time will tell, just hoping that the updates don't alter the current gameplay of FIFA 21 too much, which is pretty good. The new features in the different game modes are a real plus and maybe that's what we as football fans expected. FIFA 21 is a good game, with very interesting content. EA Sports now has all the cards in hand to keep it that way throughout the season.

With a breathtaking graphic texture, Crash Bandicoot: It's About Time is a breath of fresh air on the series while retaining the strengths of previous titles. Its extreme difficulty at times will discourage some but fans of the genre and nostalgia will always want to complete the levels at 100%. This ubiquitous difficulty makes this fourth opus a game that is perhaps not intended for the general public or at least for young children wishing to discover the universe of Crash and Neo Cortex. Crash Bandicoot: It's About Time is a modernized digest of good humor, invigorating colors and old-fashioned gameplay the way we like it combined with four new ways to play with Quantum masks.

The Walking Dead Onslaught has a way to immerse us in the universe of the series, but it won't be remembered. It's pleasant to play — the fights are stressful and the choice of weapons is extensive — but it lacks variety and even forces us to redo several missions to unlock the next ones. Additionally, we find it hard to feel concerned about the rebuilding of Alexandria, as it only acts as a hub to launch missions. As for the four characters, they are rather forgettable, and only Daryl's story is worth the attention.

It is a game designed to be played multiplayer, but not all levels work equally well with company.

This remake manages to bring the 2002 hit back to life while improving it at the same time. Not only does it offer detailed graphics with good lighting effects, but the animations are very high quality. It's not state-of-the-art technology, but it's very close to it. There are a few synchronization problems and Lost Heaven might be a little small, but it fits Hangar 13's model like a glove. We enjoyed rediscovering the atmosphere of such a well-executed scenario, with its very high quality soundtrack and varied gameplay that gives a real rhythm to the game.

Finally, something fresh in 2020! In 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Vanillaware offers PS4 players a singular sci-fi experience, driven by a well-crafted and exciting "Russian doll" plot from start to finish. We thought it would be impossible for the developers to keep us in suspense across 13 different scenarios while still remaining intelligible — and yet, despite the hallucinating number of revelations and plot points thrown at us, it proved to be fully digestible until the end. The combat is also a strength, with dynamic turn-based battles that are enjoyable, if not chaotic.

By hiring Vicarious Visions studio (Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy) to remaster these monuments that are Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2, Activision made the right choice. The developers have managed to sublimate the games that we have known for and loved about twenty years now. 4K graphics, recreated levels, new playable characters, new soundtrack, tons of new challenges to complete: everything has been thought out so that players can spend more hours skating using an enjoyable arcade gameplay. Players, young and old will have a blast, and the arcade aspect will delight fans of tricks and huge scores. At an unbeatable price for both games, you won't find anything better.

Although Necromunda has freed itself from the limitations of the original license, it's still a failure. This is due to poor execution at almost every level, as well as a big lack of ambition and content. It's ugly, the interface is heavy, there are bugs everywhere, the modes lack variety and are repetitive, and the AI is slow and overwhelmingly stupid, which ends up killing the fun of the title's solo aspect. It's still possible to have fun against other players however, as its qualities as a turn-based tactical game stand out despite the rest.

Between a disappointing campaign and a whole "service game" aspect with significant content but limited interest, Marvel's Avengers didn't convince us. We'll have to see how the Crystal Dynamics game evolves, as there's clearly potential behind its progression system and its superheroes with very distinct styles. But for now, we suggest you think carefully before jumping into the adventure. In addition to all the structural flaws and lack of variety, the game has a plethora of irritating technical problems, including bugs, crashes and framerate issues. We'll see in 5 or 6 months.

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered is a good multiplayer game. You'll spend hours exploring dungeons and perfecting your characters. The main feature of the game is of course its multiplayer dimension, and you'll have fun whether you play with friends or with strangers. However, the experience is tarnished by incomprehensible choices such as the disappearance of local cooperation or the gameplay's lack of dynamism. In conclusion, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered is a lazy port of an excellent game.

Wasteland 3 is an exciting game in many ways, and although it doesn't reinvent the mechanisms of the genre, it implements them in the best possible way. It provides the player with the opportunity to fully immerse himself in the universe he portrays through difficult (or even downright ruthless) battles, situations requiring the player to commit, mature and credible writing, multiple choices and consequences, and multiple resolutions that will allow the player to choose a different path in a later game. The game has a very good rhythm, which alternates battles, exploration and quest resolution, constantly rekindling the player's interest. An excellent RPG for any self-respecting fan.

With its solid gameplay and sinister Soulsborne atmosphere combined with some good ideas of its own, Mortal Shell could have been a great game. But a hasty release seems to have caused a lot of damage: the overall balance is weak, and there's a lack of variety in the shells, weapons and bosses. The game is quickly over, the fights hardly noticeable with no music and the unbalanced difficulty. The most relentless might find their happiness by playing without shells , and with the New Game+.

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition is a welcome port on PC, although very little effort has been made to actually adapt it to our machines. The graphics improvements are there and it is possible to play with the keyboard and mouse, but the interface is not particularly suitable. The flaws and clumsiness of the title, both in the combat system, inventory and crafting, still tend to irritate, but it remains a good game, on which you can spend tens of hours without getting bored.

While fans of the series will certainly enjoy having all their heroes back in a colourful game faithful to the original material, the others will probably be harder to convince. Except for the story and the anime side of the title, the production is rather unremarkable with regrettable inconsistencies. The turn-based combats are quite repetitive, but are fortunately compensated by the regular addition of new gameplay elements. If you're a fan of the series, you are likely to be seduced by the enchanting universe of Fairy Tail and its characters. Otherwise, you should probably wait for a more appropriate price for the experience.

With its satisfying gameplay and solid lifespan (about 30-40 hours), Ghost of Tsushima is another quality exclusive for the PS4. It knows how to reuse mechanics and fundamentals established by other licenses, and give them its own personal touch. And what a touch. It's not just an Assassin's Creed in Japan: it has its own visual code and almost cinematographic atmosphere, and the sublime island of Tsushima naturally replaces some of the interface elements. The whole game is infused with poetry, which is rather bold for a mainstream title. However, we regret the big weaknesses on a few fundamental points, as it lacks variety regarding the points of interest, the fights and especially the duels, which, combined with an ill-fitting difficulty, wearied us at the end. Nevertheless, it remains a very good experience and a game full of personality.

The Death Stranding port from PS4 to PC is a complete success. Sony, Kojima Productions and 505 Games had the intelligence to use the latest generation of the PS4 in terms of graphics. In terms of content, Death Stranding PC offers six new side quests related to Half-Life and Portal; a welcome homage for Valve's fans. Beyond the graphic qualities detailed in this test, the latest Kojima remains a special experience, fascinating in many ways and very engaging. The atmosphere, the colors, the music, everything contributes to a complete immersion in the tortured world of Death Stranding, particularly well reproduced on PC.

With Desperados III, Mimimi brilliantly relaunches the license by going back to the roots of the genre. We would have appreciated a little more variety in the opposing ranks and more polished cinematics. However, the western atmosphere of the title, its seductive scenery, the constantly renewed gameplay and the perfectly tuned level design quickly make us forget these little details. In addition, the multiple challenges offer a great replayability.

To put it simply, The Last of Us 2 succeeds in achieving excellence in everything it does. Its poignant story, with strong themes, is well-paced, the gameplay thoroughly reworked, allowing the rage of its heroine to express itself, all wrapped in the most elegant of bows. Far beyond the simple, unfounded sequel that some feared, TLOU2 marks the expansion of the universe linked to Ellie and Joel's first adventures thanks to a new, emotionally-charged and challenging quest. The latest Naughty Dog title undoubtedly ranks among the best titles on the PS4.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is a great makeover of 2 cult games by fans, for fans. You can feel the love of the developers, old and new, as they offer all the vintage experience to modern gamers, with serious comfort gains and many options to adapt it to different player profiles. All this without compromising the vintage gameplay or its difficulty, and with better music than ever before. On the other hand, however, it might discourage many players with its outdated graphics, its peculiar old TV movie humor, its pixelated cinematics and its punishing gameplay.

This remastered version of Mafia II features improved graphics and nice lighting effects, but the title can't deny its age due to the slightly rough and stiff characters. The open world remains limited to the place you're supposed to visit, and NPCs have behaviors that don't necessarily help make them credible. However, the storyline is interesting from the beginning to the end and the thrilling soundtrack of the title help to overcome its small imperfections. And, icing on the cake, the fact that all 3 DLCs are included allows you to enjoy Empire Bay a little more if you found the main adventure too short and want to continue your life as a gangster.

Ten years later, Xenoblade Chronicles confirms its status as an iconic Japanese RPG: a classic and an excellent reference for all those who would like to see how the genre has evolved since the 16/32-bit golden age. While the battles are quite messy and the visual redesign will probably have an aftertaste of "not enough" for the most demanding players, it's still the best way to discover this masterpiece by Tetsuya Takahashi and Monolith. If you're a first time player, enjoy: titles of this magnitude are far too rare to miss.

Maneater proves to be a good outlet if you want to feel powerful and reign supreme underwater by terrorizing and devouring humans. The fauna is very well represented and animated, but too much information spoils the charming graphics, and the camera sometimes tends to affect the clarity. The somewhat repetitive aspect of the title is compensated by regions and enemies that are regularly renewed, as well as by an offbeat and mischievous humor.

Minecraft Dungeons is an accessible dungeon-crawler that will satisfy fans and novices of the genre, young and old. With a very nice sound and graphic atmosphere, the new Mojang game is meant to be a game for everyone, and the challenge has been met. Hardcore gamers may like it a little less because of the lack of content, even if the difficulty is present. In the end, whether played solo or cooperatively, Minecraft Dungeons is a very satisfying game, but it can quickly become redundant. We'll have to see how Mojang and Microsoft will incorporate content updates and new features to make it a long-lasting game.

Despite its flaws, Gears Tactics should manage to satisfy tacticians and fans of the license, pushing players to be aggressive while showing some finesse. It's a pleasure to play this campaign, which has a correct lifespan. Unfortunately, the strategic dimension is almost non-existent and replayability is really lacking. It's a great game to play on occasion via Gamepass, but probably not one that many will choose to dwell on.

It's crazy, even though we're playing a game that was created 23 years ago, we still want to forgive it for its youthful mistakes. With its excellent next-gen fighting system and all the iconic sequences of the Midgar arc, enhanced and improved, Final Fantasy VII Remake is a very good title, but is one that unfortunately trips itself up trying to do too much. Hence, its structure which brings us back 10 years back in time, its stammering technique which breaks the immersion, and some dubious additions to the scenario, managed to lower the blissful smile that we would have liked to keep throughout this first episode.

Resident Evil 3 version 2020 works very well. The adventure will delight action fans without sacrificing what makes the soul of the series, its survival horror side. The atmosphere is amazing, oppressive and reinforced by the constant pressure of the Nemesis, which benefits from a much better AI than Mr. X. The RE Engine is more precise and the music plunges us into a nightmarish universe. However, the adventure is quite simple in its confrontations, thanks to new gameplay mechanics, and won't put your brains to the test. The few puzzles are very basic and the weapons and accessories aren't really hidden, making the single-player adventure very short. Still, we're having a great time with Jill and Carlos, and Capcom proves once again the quality of the Resident Evil license.
