After a very successful first book, we are more than happy to find our little mouse for a new adventure. Keeping the basics that made the first game a success, Moss: Book 2 takes us even further. We quickly see that Polyarc has made the most of PSVR and that it is undoubtedly one of the last good titles on the platform before its future iteration. I hope the studio will continu its great work during Sony's PSVR2 era, because they've proven once again that they're the best at it. It's an absolute must-have for any holder of the virtual reality headset. As long as you still have a PS4 controller if you play on PS5.

Kao the Kangaroo will not go down in history, I think you probably guessed it. We have to admit that it represents an interesting and still accessible challenge for people who are new to the genre. Your children could find it a lot of fun and it could prepare them to tackle little more fleshed out games. It's absolutely nothing mean-spirited towards Kao the Kangaroo but just like the other games in the series, it lacks something to elevate it to the level of the best games in the genre. Its lifespan of about 8 hours is more than reasonable and that's why it can be interesting for newer gamers.

I can't praise Elden Ring enough. However, beyond the praise, you should know that Elden Ring is probably the best game I've had the chance to play, nothing less. Yes I know, we will have to take a step back in order to weigh the words well in the coming months, even the next few years. What we can say with certainty is that Elden Ring and FromSoftware have just set the bar very high for games of the genre. We talk about Elden Ring as we have talked about Super Mario 64, Metal Gear Solid or Half-Life through the years. This is the apotheosis of “Souls-like” and who knows, maybe an “Elden-like” genre has just emerged. The game is just that good.

Actraiser Renaissance is a tasty mix of many genres. At the same time a plateformer, a strategy game and a shooter, we can say its his own unique genre. Early adopters will find their way around quite quickly, while newcomers will enjoy it. A very nice tribute to a game that marked its time.

Ninja Gaiden : Master Collection doesn't offer anything exceptionnal. You get three good games that received visual enhancements and faster loading times. Despite the fact that all the DLC content is also included, it would've been more interesting to add a couple of new elements for the fans. Nevertheless, it's a pretty sweet deal for the price if you're looking for a good challenge.

Wonder Boy : Asha in the Monster World was an excellent game back in 1994. Unfortunately, today's remake isn't spicy enough. The game is a classic, but it fails to stand out in today's world especially considering the heavy competition on the market. It's mainly good for the nostalgia if your heart really wants to give it a go.

Kaze and the Wild Masks first seems like just another platformer. But then as you keep playing, you find so much joy and a lot of ressemblances with the best in the genre. We wouldn't go as far as saying it's a simple copy, but rather a nice nod to what made these games so great. And once you are finished, you will remember it as a positive souvenir with a big smile on your face. Isn't that what you should expect from a video game ? Mission accomplished for PixelHive !

Nier Replicant ver. 1.22474487139 is a beautiful take on the original game. The story is compelling and the soundtrack really takes over the game and brings it to another level. Though it might not be as great as Nier : Automata, fans of the genre will enjoy the experience and remember it for a long time.

Disco Elysium : The Final Cut adds a lot of elements to its arsenal at the same time as it lands on PlayStation and Stadia. It is a masterpiece that should be played by all fans of RPGs. Entertaining and captivating is how I would summarize my trip to Elysium. I'll be back, for sure.

DiRT 5 is a good game. Not the best of the series, but far from the worst. It is excessively beautiful and a whole lot of fun. It will please the fan of racing games, but mostly the ones that just like to play from time to time. Those looking for realism will probably pass on that one.

Gnosia is basically a solo Among Us. A good plot, interesting characters, we always want to learn more and more as the stories pass by quickly. If you're comfortable with reading a whole lot, you should definitely give it a shot.

Another indie game that could've easily flown under the radar, Curse of the Dead Gods is a whole lot of fun. Greatly inspired by games like Hades, Dead Cells or Darkest Dungeon, it still managers to shine amongs the roguelites. A very good game early in 2021.
