Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is a very good puzzle / reflex game, for newcomers and veterans who have already tried the first game. It offers new rules that boost the gameplay and renew the fun, and this Switch version also adds a game within the game, with a very cool co-op mode. Since the game comes out at a low price on eShop, we see no good reason to avoid this sweetmeat, as long as you like frantic arcade games where scoring depends primarily on your reflexes and your smartness.

True to the series' heritage, Kirby Star Allies asserts its apparent simplicity through a candid, somehow heartbreaking scenario, a vibrant artistic direction, and a sweet gameplay fundamentally built for conviviality, with ennemies that can also become skillful buddies once befriended. This amicable approach creates sympathetic cooperative operations and wonderful sequences of grouped transformations, but it results in a constrained, hence linear level design. While the new powers reveal interesting and potentially overpowerful teamwork synergies, those are only exploited into the rather short additional modes. More generosity, imagination and even boldness were expected from this moving, then ultimately nostalgic adventure.

If you expected something new from this version, too bad. Except that it now runs in 1080p/60fps, Devil May Cry HD Collection is the exact same compilation it was in 2012. Nothing more was added, the first two episodes feel quite old in terms of gameplay compared to a still fun DMC 3. And that's it: decent for newcomers, useless for those who already know them by heart.

Sword Art Online : Fatal Bullet has some flaws, but it can be a satisfying game if you're a fan of the anime.

This Nintendo Switch version of Layers of Fears offers new possibilities with the touch screen and the Joy-Cons and the DLC is of course included. It is also a little bit downgraded in terms of visuals, but the game is still the same : an outstanding narrative/horror adventure that you really shouldn't miss if you like the genre.

This first episode takes its time to introduce the plot of the Council as well as the RPG mechanics. They suit very well to the narrative genre, allowing the player to follow its own path through the choices of the game.

With the Curse of the Pharaohs, Ubisoft finally delivers a strong DLC which plays the fantastic card to push the series forward. Yes, the adventure stills uses the same tricks and twists used a thousand times before, but the beautiful Thebes and After-Life visuals will make the 20-hour long series of events fly in the blink of an eye.

This bonus episode can't be missed by fans and should convince them to go into the Deluxe Edition of Before the Storm if they didn't. Farewell is a great way - carefree and melacholic - to say goodbye to Max and Chloe.

Detention intelligently mixes the traditional point and click mecanics with the anxious ambiance of the survival horror genre. Ta'wan-based Red Candle Studios delivers a clever lightning on a very dark period of its country history, which gives the game quite some originality.

It's sure that developers of Fear Effect Sedna are huge fans of the franchise. They had some ideas about this new episode and there are e few elements that feel compelling. But in the end, there are too many things that just don't work or frustrate the players. Too bad.

Bravo Team nearly does the job as a VR shooter, with good controls (Aim Controller compatible) and online coop gameplay, but for all the rest it is really boring. This game is a poor clich' of shooting games, with no soul and no ideas. Very far from what Farpoint did last year.

Into the Breach is an excellent tactical game. It feels like a game of chess with robots and aliens, and it offers a very deep gameplay behind its simplistic looks.

If you've played de Blob 2 back in 2011, no need to play this PS4 port. Even if you liked it back then. Almost no changes have been made to the game and none of its weak points have been improved. de Blob 2 is an average platformer at best. Cool soundtrack though.

TT Isle of Man is a good motorcycle racing game, realistic and very demanding. As long as you are completely in love with the legendary Isle of Man, it can even become a must.

Bridge Constructor Portal is a very nice fusion between two series which offers clever architectural puzzles mixed with Valve's beloved franchise twists. Accessible, pedagogue, user-friendly and delivering a very strong content, the game might be interestig even for the non-fans of the genre.

Gravel is a game that holds up, but which, like the races it offers, skids and slips often offroad. It will therefore satisfy the ones that likes this kind of games for fifteen hours to complete the Off Road Masters mode and probably a half dozen for completers who want all the stars and liveries. Its launchprice price under the bar of 50 € can help to make a decision and remains finally very coherent with the proposed offer.

This "Late[st]" version of Under Night In-Birth EXE adds some stuff to a very cool and technical fighting game that every fan of the genre should try.

Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is an original narrative experience. He's got a lot of American stories to tell us, supported by a perfect dubbing and high-class illustrations. The problem is that the end result is harmed by a repetitive gameplay and extremely slow character movements, all that ending up causing a deep feeling of boredom after one hour or so.

The graphic style is clean and the music is lively; we finally regret only its short lifespan of just 30 minutes, which leaves an aftertaste of too little, but nevertheless, the experience is perfectly worth the detour.

Moss is undoubtedly one of the best PlayStation VR games available. This little tale is absolutely charming, from beginning to end, and it offers a both interesting and perfectly balanced gameplay. Too bad it ends so quickly, after 3 or 4 hours of play, with a frustrating "to be continued"... We had such a good time ! An enchantment you still have to live, if you're equipped with Sony's virtual reality headset.
