Double Dragon delivers a good feeling of impact, nice graphics and music, and also a large number of unlockables. What a pity the touch controls don't work as they should, making the whole experience cumbersome and frustrating.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD brings to Nintendo Switch a nice story and some interesting ideas, but also all the weaknesses of the original game, that feels very outdated.

Hot Shots reminds us what makes this franchise so timeless, with every release: it is a cheerful, colourful golf game, sometimes bizarre but also technically and athletically accurate in its transposition, not overly technical but not inconsistent either. It is a container of seemingly distant worlds brought together by a realisation that does justice to golf, while conveying all the Japanese flavour typical of the saga. Nothing new under the sun, or almost nothing if we consider the extravagant mode: Hot Shots remains competently on that path, careful to follow, at times with excessive caution and redundancy, that typical but probably somewhat tired stylistic approach, at least for those who have been following it for almost 30 years.

It's a shame that a so-polished and rich card game is spoiled by an unbalanced reward system.

Monsters Ate My Metropolis is a decent card battler, packed with a lot of funny animations.

Disc Jam is fun and engaging, even though it needs more contents and game modes.

Animal Crossing Pocket Camp is the most faithful, complete and up-to-date Animal Crossing you can expect on smartphones.

Cities in Motion 2 brings some interesting new elements into the gameplay structure of its predecessor. The game had some bugs, but Colossal Order worked hard to get most of them fixed soon after the launch.

Borderlands 2 VR is a stripped down version of a six year old game which has simply nothing to share with virtual reality. And at a full price, too.

Directive 8020 also gives us the ability to rewind time and make different choices, or to replay these sessions, in order to ensure that more survivors make it to the end of the game.

Even if Pro Cycling Manager is complete and realistic as usual, this edition may result a little bit tricky for newbies and a "déjà vu" for the veterans.

Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise is Yakuza spin-off that takes the Hokuto no Ken iconic characters but tells a different story, definitely not the one we expected.

Immortals Fenyx Rising: a New God is a good first DLC for Ubisoft Quebec. Something more could be done with the variety of the gameplay, but the game is fun and makes you smile.

Pac-Man is back with a new collection that is truly unmissable for all historical fans, but also for casual gamers.

At the heart of Gundam Evolution lies an idea with a lot of potential that, for the moment, is trapped in some dated and frustrating game design choices.

While taking several steps forward compared to its predecessor, My Hero Academia: All’s Justice is not without its flaws. The Story Mode follows the anime and manga very faithfully, but grinds to a halt during an excessively long and lackluster final boss fight. Other modes increase the game's longevity and variety, offering some hints of an RPG-like structure, though they fail to make the side activities truly engaging. The combat system works well thanks to an extensive roster and diverse playstyles tied to the characters' Quirks, but it still suffers from legacy issues such as imprecise collision detection and a frequently problematic camera. For a fan of My Hero Academia, this is undoubtedly one of the most complete and well-crafted titles based on the franchise (though it must be admitted that the bar was set quite low), yet it remains far from the best arena fighters currently available on the market.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the best that the asymmetric horror genre has to offer, even though it doesn't have the same amount of content as any given Dead by Daylight: the killers are few, but designed with great intelligence and satisfying to use, the victims truly experience the tension of such an extreme situation, and every mechanic is crafted to evoke the fear that elsewhere seems to have been relegated as unnecessary. If it had more content and had been more polished during the entry phase, it would have been a masterpiece. As it stands, it's still an excellent title, to be played strictly in the dark.

Megaton Rainfall is a nice surprise for everyone who dreamed about being a superhero. You will appreciate it whether you have a PlayStation VR set or not.

Quotation forthcoming.

Axel & Pixel looks and plays like a graceful and fresh add to Xbox Live Arcade line up, and a good game for graphic adventures' fans. It's a bit short and easy, and its look may not appeal to everyone.

Rush of Blood is a roller coaster ride through the unsettling world of Until Dawn. Always engaging, sometimes disturbing, rarely scary, it's a competent on-rail-shooter enhanced by the virtual reality.

Basically Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage seems a little bit too similar to "Road Trip". On the one hand it's quite good if you haven't played it yet, but it's not enough if you bought last year's game.

Just Dance 2019 is the new annual chapter of a successful series: it has few innovations, but it continues to entertain.

Earth Defense Force 5 is not that step forward that we hoped to see for the series, but a ramshackle more of the same that seems not able to do anything.

Ninja Gaiden's charm is undeniable, so this latest port of the game for PlayStation Vita can easily win your hardcore heart. The problem is the developers did nothing at all to solve the frustrating camera issues. Well, they also cut the original frame rate in half.

Open Me! is a smart puzzle game plagued by annoying technical issues and quite a shallow replayability.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope isn't offensively bad like Integrity & Faithlesness and this remastered porting does improve a lot the game on the technical side. Still extremely animesque, it keeps delivering on a solid combat system and a few twists which may appeal fans of the genre.

Batora Lost Haven knows how to occupy a few hours of your time thanks to an enjoyable, if somewhat repetitive, combat system. Unfortunately, the plot fails heavily in terms of pacing and fails to enthrall. It may be a good investment to occupy a weekend while waiting for November's AAAs, but don't expect to be impressed by Stormind Games' work.
