Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is an excellent action game, but above all, one of the best entries in the franchise, plain and simple. Its campaign is intense, engaging, and well-paced, even if you could argue that it plays things a little too safe, especially given the themes it tackles and what we've seen in previous installments. The multiplayer might just be one of the best in the series.At this point, we can only hope things stay this way until next year's installment.

Phantom Blade Zero is an intense, generous and exhilarating action RPG that manages to inspire as much excitement and awe as it does frustration. Its difficulty may put off less daring players, although the multiple difficulty settings can also make the game far too easy. If you're after those adrenaline rushes that make the experience so special, you'll have to accept a few occasionally poorly handled difficulty spikes, particularly when it comes to certain bosses. But if you can look past those rough edges, you're in for one hell of a ride. Phantom Blade Zero is one of the best games of the year.

Despite its exhilarating gameplay, FF Resonance is far from perfect. At times, it plays things too safe, holds your hand a little too tightly, and feels far too easy before finally showing its teeth. You could pick apart its flaws and draw up a lengthy list of grievances, but then a single battle, a familiar melody, or a beautifully staged cutscene comes along and makes it all seem rather trivial. Not because nostalgia blinds us to its shortcomings, but because the game reminds us, with Bahamut's might and Shiva's grace, what Final Fantasy is all about.

There's no doubt about it: with this highly accomplished new entry, Konami marks the grand return of its franchise after twelve long years away. Castlevania Belmont's Curse may not be the most intricate or the most original metroidvania we've seen in recent years, but it arrives with real personality and a charm that will have no trouble winning over fans of the genre. The game developed by Evil Empire also makes for an excellent entry point for newcomers to the series, which could well make it the ideal springboard for a genuine Castlevania revival in the years ahead.

CONTROL Resonant is a prime example of how a sequel can realise the full potential of a formula. While Remedy had undeniably succeeded in building a remarkable world with the first game, its many shortcomings arguably limited that world's impact. With this second instalment, however, the Finnish studio pushes past what we could have imagined, not only fixing most of its predecessor's flaws but also bringing in just the right amount of new ideas. The result is an adventure that is at once distinctive, gripping and impressive ; the kind that confirms Remedy as one of the most creative studios in the industry.

In essence, the additions of the Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition serve as a fine anniversary gift for Sucker Punch's latest feudal Japan title. The Echoes of Sekigahara expansion naturally complements the main game's formula, albeit perhaps a bit too safely and without major surprises, aside from a narrative that remains thankfully as compelling as ever. As for the Most Wanted mode, it is sure to keep fans occupied for hours, even if the paid access could have been avoided, especially considering how other PlayStation exclusives have handled such bonus modes in the past.

The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival is more Walking Dead than Streets of Rage. The fan service will delight fans with nods to the series scattered throughout the adventure and several iconic characters.

EA FC 27 clearly follows in the footsteps of the last installment, improving upon the innovations introduced last year. While the experience isn't radically different, it has become more refined in its controls.

Six years after *Rise of New Champions*, we were looking ahead to *Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters* as a game that promised to elevate a formula full of good intentions. Unfortunately, Tamsoft tries to reinvent this formula a bit too hastily to deliver a fully polished gameplay experience. While the fan service in the story is a delight, the exhilarating nature of the matches, which we love so much in the manga and anime, is missing. The game has enough to satisfy even the most die-hard fans, but it will need to go back to the drawing board to deliver an experience worthy of the legend.

Let's be clear: Marvel's Wolverine is a game that's likely to divide opinions. In line with Insomniac Games' latest titles, it takes the form of what could be described as the quintessential blockbuster- an explosively action-packed, finely crafted adventure that's a sheer delight to play from start to finish. Its linear approach, simplistic mechanics, and old-school superhero game charm, however, will likely not appeal to players looking for an experience that matches the maturity of the Wolverine universe. And even if it isn't perfect in every way, the fact is that, for us, the magic worked.

Orbitals is a game that wants to do well, there's no doubt about it. While Shapefarm excels in its graphics, the studio clearly aims to offer fresh co-op gameplay, even if it struggles to fully captivate us.

Rebel Wolves delivers a dark fantasy RPG that can hold its own against its illustrious cousin and is a firstborn that we hope will produce other gems in the same vein in the future.

For a tactical game, the presentation and writing are polished and surprising, so much so that we would have loved to learn more about Zero Company and its mostly intriguing characters.
