9 / 10 - Hades
Sep 21, 2020

Hades is a fantastic Rogue-lite that offers some terrific action, strond design, beautiful narrative, unforgettable characters and, needless to say, tremendous visuals and soundtrack. Even players who are or became allergic to its genre should try it, as it has probably no Achille's Heel and is, for sure, the most accomplished Supergiant Games experience to date.

Observer System Redux is an absolute must-have, whether you played the original game or not. If you're keen on Cyberpunk and horror, you'll find here exactly what you want : a beautiful game, with a stunning universe and fantastic dialogues and storytelling. Improvements are more than welcome and offer a more attractive and intense experience. The best game Bloober Team has delivered. It clearly doesn't deserve to be lost in time like tears in rain.

9 / 10 - Shovel Knight
Jul 4, 2014

If we first have the impression that it will be only a sequence of winks addressed to Mega Man, his main and avowed inspiration, Castlevania or Duck Tales, Shovel Knight remains a unique title. Beneath its NES-typed game nature are treasures of original ideas, level design and maneuverability combined with an overall creation that will seduce the nostalgic. Released 25 years ago, it would probably be considered a cult today.

9 / 10 - Rez Infinite
Oct 27, 2016

To believe that Rez Infinite had been thought for virtual reality. Already very addictive when you play it in a classic way on a TV, where it appears slightly boosted compared to the 360 version, the game of Tetsuya Mizuguchi is transcended when using the PlayStation VR. This electro trip becomes all the more accessible and natural and tickles our senses as it should to create a slight addiction to the sensations provided, very pure and downright sublime in Zone X mode.

The examination of the open world passage passed brilliantly by The Witcher 3, which does not forget its roots. Beautiful, generous, remarkably well written and staged, enjoying an effective gameplay, this adventure is devoured like a good book whose pages could be rewritten. There is always something to accomplish in these gigantic expanses, superb, full of life and animation, and the charm operated from the first minutes of this violent and adult fresco never breaks, despite some obvious flaws.

9 / 10 - Hitman 3
Jan 19, 2021

Could IO Interactive have ended the World of Assassination Trilogy better ? Probably not. Even if Hitman 3 sticks to previous episodes formula and plays it safe, keeping its usual flaws, it offers gorgeous and incredibly well-convceived destinations that will indeed please fans. There are so many good trails to follow, so many possibilities that you'll sure end up with the urge to try everything in order to go for the perfect kill. If you own Hitman 1 and Hitman 2, there is some serious amount of challenges waiting. A PlayStation VR ? Prepare for a game-changing experience.

9 / 10 - Dishonored 2
Nov 11, 2016

Dishonored 2 is unquestionably bigger, more beautiful and stronger than the first episode. Artistically the most neat, bathed in an extraordinary universe and offering a simple but captivating and very well narrated frame, with two charismatic characters that we enjoy embodying, it proposes environments as seductive as brilliantly constructed.

9 / 10 - Fallout 4
Nov 9, 2015

With flaws that are sometimes troublesome for progress, technically not always in focus and much reminiscent of its predecessors in many aspects, Fallout 4 nevertheless fulfills its contract hands down.

9 / 10 - Owlboy
Nov 3, 2016

The gestation was long and complicated, but D-Pad Studios can be relieved and proud of her baby. Owlboy is not only a delight for eyes lovers of well-arranged pixels but also an exceptional game, touching, which sweats from the spirit of the glories of the past while presenting its own identity.

Eager to re-engage after a decried second installment, BioWare took its time to make what is probably one of its most successful productions. Between its sublime environments that we take hours to explore, its quests, main as annexes, often exciting and lined with difficult decisions to make, its hundreds of secrets, its dashing characters or its captivating fights that it is possible to modulate at will, Dragon Age: Inquisition allows you to reach the peaks of pleasure for anyone who has been bottled at Dungeons & Dragons or at the work of Tolkien. An exceptional RPG not to be missed.

8 / 10 - Bayonetta
Feb 14, 2018

If it's not a port that changes a thing, it's still a pleasure to be able to play Bayonetta anywhere, anytime, as it's one of the best beat them all of all time. Not a flawless one, but indeed a lovable one.

Lizardcube did an amazing job, showing so much love and care for this - still enjoyable - classic. The way the french team allows us to play it with lovely and modern visuals and music just makes us hungry for more of this kind of remasters.

Even if the formula is still the same, without any significant new gameplay element, The Lost Legacy succeeds in being a very good stand-alone in the Uncharted universe. It's a gorgeous (probably the most beautiful PS4 game at the moment) and funny ride, and its loveable and very interesting protagonists surely deserve to get a another shot in a more consequent and surprising game.

8 / 10 - Far Cry 5
Mar 26, 2018

It seems like Far Cry 5 tries hard to be different in some ways. But in the end, it is obvious it doesn't want to - it can't - step too far from its predecessors. There's a feeling that even though its world is new, appealling, offers some good tweaks, a magnificient set of allies and villains, and a potentially unlimited content in Arcade mode, we still have the same game flawed with the same A.I. problems, we still complete the same kind of missions ans see the same animations. As we sure can have fun and witness a fantastice ending, this can be forgiven. Until next time.

You can regret that this is not a new WipEout for PS4. But you can't blame this compilation fr being what it is. Because it is indeed a great way to meet again with the series and its beautiful and intoxicating races, with a lot of challenges and fun offered offline and online.

Some notable adjustments make PES 2018 a lovely football game that feels comfortable to play and realistic from the very first match. New animations, better physics and responsiveness are, with the fact that it is quite challenging, what makes it a fun simulation that has to be considered for this season.

Hellbalde : Senua's Sacrifice is a Hel of a game. A gorgeous, scary, crazy, oppressive and unique experience with a great setting and story, different and loveable heroin and some interesting gameplay mechanics. Maybe the best surprise of summer 2017.

8 / 10 - A Hat in Time
Oct 6, 2017

A Hat in Time is such a pleasant surprise. Hilarious and full of bright ideas, inspired and playing like a classic - even if the camera can't be tamed-, this 3D platformer has been made for all of those who feel nostalgic about best games of the genre like Super Mario 64 or Banjo-Kazooie. And is clearly essential to them.
