The problem with beauty is that it lets us imagine perfection on all levels. And The Ascent, despite a truly sublime setting, is far from meeting all the requirements that would allow it to rise to the level of the most memorable experiences of 2021. In 15-20 hours, we navigate between the happiness of discovering environments that do more than tickle our Cyberpunk fiber, to fight hard but correctly against hordes of enemies and a certain frustration.

When Sonic malfunctions, it works very badly. But when the magic happens, the blue hedgehog makes you feel a feeling of class that is unique to it and without real equivalent in the video game. Sonic Colors is in the second category and shows the best sonic in 3D can offer.

Without being exceptional, Traffic Jams is a fun little game that is played mainly in short sessions and can also be played by several locally, with four players with their smartphone.

No More Heroes III is radical, punk and messy experience with a unique personnality that wil indeed please players who have been seduced by the first episodes on Wii - despite theirs flaws that are stil those of this third game. 10 years have passed since No More Heroes 2, and as many games have successfully been walking on the same path, breaking codes and brilliantly combining content and form, it's suprising that Suda 51 did not give more scope to his title to sublime its personnality.

Psychonauts 2 is another great entry in the series, a action-platformer that can look a bit stiff and not very challenging, but has a lot of surface to explore and motivates us to explore every corner thanks to its incredible art direction, stellar characters and story. One of the most refreshing games of 2021.

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut is a bigger and enhanced version of an already very cool game, with a new island to explore, so there's no reason to refuse the invitation !

RiMS Racing has a lot of good ideas, but ends up being very disappointing for players who thought it would be an alternative to RIDE. It doesn't look great, feels very limited and really gets boring with a lot of dispensable and redundant QTE.

Fracked is a playstation VR exclusive game that does the taf. Featuring an almost non-stop "action" gameplay alternating phases on foot, skiing and climbing with a concept of undercovering using motion gaming, it is very easily placed in the list of the most fun VR games to play to date.

12 Minutes is a brilliant, complex, dense and very smart point and click adventure, which amazes each time you play it, thanks to its many, many branches. Served by a talented and rightfully toned cast, 12 Minutes is a rare and outstanding experience all the way.

Road 96 offers a non-Manichean adventure on the roads, looking for a brighter future on the other side of the border. Despite some uneven mini-games and some brutal cuts in its narration, the game still offers some interesting cast and landscapes, carried by a strong soundtrack with delightful 90's vibes.

Too bad this Switch port suffers from such a big downgrade once grabbed on the go.

With The Siege of Paris, Assassin's Creed Valhalla goes back to the serie's roots by allowing players to find the best way to get rid of their victims. With a very french intrigue and setting, this episode offers a pretty good reason to launch the game once again, sacrebleu !

HUMANKIND is a true masterpiece and the best 4X of the decade. The game has brilliant gameplay mechanics and offers us an experience of great depth, with some incredible art style. May its reign be long.

With Four Last Things, Joe Richardson had fortunately not said his last word. For the one that best describes his works, collage in this case, also applies to his spiritual successor - in every sense of the word - The Procession of Calvary.

Last Stop should best be reckonned as a strictly narrative game, as its interactive scope is way too clumsy : full linearity, no impacting choices and bland QTE sequences. The variety of atmospheres (comedy, drama, mysteries) makes it intersting to play though, and the game is carried by a nice and fitting soundtrack.

Chernobylite is an excellent narrative RPG that will totally please players in need of post-apocalyptic settings. It certainly isn't a revolution, as its combats and crafting systems feel very familiar, but it has a few mechanics that hit the mark and a great story with a powerful ending.

Pok'mon Unite is an easy to play and well-designed MOBA that inventively translates mechanics of its license to adapt them to the genre. While Pok'mon fans will enjoy playing this game, MOBA enthusiasts aren't the primary target since its casual aspect prevails.

NEO : The World Ends With You will keep you hooked with its pretty universe, charming characters, captivating story and its very nice manga/anime design. It has a lot of intersting RPG mechanics that connect you with its world, but in terms of battle system, it is still a bit limited and repetitive.

Witchcrafty is one of the very last games of the PS Vita. The game is shipped unfinished, with tons of collisions, IA and damage bugs which change at every run. To enjoy this visually charming sorcery adventure, you will have to cope with the dark forces of randomness working against you.

Winds & Leaves is a charming ans soothing VR experience, but not without flaws. Controls are not very precise and we are kind of disconnected from this artistically dashing world because of aliasing and clipping. A pity, we would have loved to let it grow on us.
