7 / 10 - Pyre
Aug 2, 2017

If you only consider its narrative, art direction, music and lore, Pyre is absolulety gorgeous. But its "combat" mechanic just doesn't succeed in being totally fun.

8 / 10 - Redeemer
Jul 31, 2017

Redeemer offers a very satisfying mix of good old top-down shooters and modern video games.

8 / 10 - Miitopia
Jul 27, 2017

Miitopia may seem like a simple, artificial RPG simulation with Mii, but the humoristic narrative tone underlined by such absurdly customizable protagonists suggest to take some distance from the deceptive classicism of this quest, that reveals an ironic look at the genre. The focus on the relationships between these avatars, their freedom in combat along with the randomness of the gameplay elements add life to the whole experience, creating a special position for the player, neither actor nor spectator, yet deeply involved. Whether it's considered as an introduction to RPG or a satire, Miitopia doesn't lack character, and wonderfully embodies the role.

7 / 10 - Hey! Pikmin
Jul 26, 2017

Like a herbarium, Hey! Pikmin is a conscientious, wonderful, tactile, yet flat transposition of the series' singular gameplay, mostly preserved along the way. While some depth, even life was lost in the process, this lateral perspective lets Captain Olimar explore the vertical dimension of this feral world rather quietly and cleverly, carrying its delicate ecogical message to new heights as well.

8 / 10 - Splatoon 2
Jul 18, 2017

Splatoon 2 keeps everything that worked in the first episode to deliver a strong but somehow light sequel. Fortunately, the Salmon Run mode seems new enough to bring back the fun, as this cooperative option took us by surprise. Fans will love, haters gonna hate, but Splatoon should benefit from the Switch phenomenal success to increase its fanbase.

Serial Cleaner is engaging (and laughably gory) stealth game with an awesome atmosphere, easy to pick up and play. Too bad it lacks variety to feel great from start to finish.

This first DLC miss some chalenge and ideas, and is very short.

Joyful, inspiring and darker than the previous chapters, Closure is a good conclusion to an elegant narrative experience.

Final Fantasy XII : The Zodiac Age is a beautiful remaster which makes us love the game even more. Thanks to the second job addition, the fast forward rhythm or the magnificent re-orchestration of the original soundtrack, this version deserves a run, wether you already finished the original game or not.

Without being the TPS of the century,, Danganronpa Another Episode, is to be reserved (and will seduce) the fans of the series who passed by the game on Vita. They will benefit from it in better general graphic layouts. But if you have already completed it two years ago, go your way.

Micro Machines World Series succeeds in some areas, as the controls has been nicely revamped and the Elimination mode works fine and is fun... But for the rest, this game lacks so much content (modes, challenges...) we couldn't believe it!

The Star of Diablo II is coming back in Diablo III. Still fun, still cool to play, even if the price of this DLC may slow down your enthousiam.

Friday The 13th has a good gameplay concept, but it still disappoints. Counselors' gameplay is quickly redundant, and embodying Jason is cool but too occasional, but above all the game seems really far from being finished, and that's quickly frustrating.

Crash Bandicoot fans can rest easy, Vicarious Visions didn't deface Naughty Dog's work. The three games look better than they ever have and play just as good as they used to. The NSane Trilogy is both fun and challenging and offers a good time to longtime fans of the original PlayStation's unofficial mascot. That said, people who didn't enjoy Crash Bandicoot games back in the 90s won't fall in love with the franchise thanks to this compilation.

MXGP 3 has some undeniable advantages, but fishing unfortunately by a lack of sensations. This does not detract from the technical qualities of conduct, but takes it away from a sense of realism. His chance is to occupy a niche free of competition at this time. If you are looking for a good motocross game, MXGP 3 is the only one in the saddle.

Valkyria Azure Revolution is the spin-off no one was waiting for. Every component which made the Valkyria Chronicles saga so famous is absent from this bad "sequel". The graphics look awful on PS4, the casting is generic at best and its action-rpg mechanics are one of the worst we've ever seen in the last decade. Why would an Action-RPG make you pause the game every time you want to use a skill ? Why, SEGA ?

Pro Cycling Manager 2017 is a disappointment. It did not bring a lot of novelties and fans will have to wait next year to observe a real change. However, the game is pleasant thanks to the richness of the gameplay and the fluidity of his game engine.

Tour de France 2017 is an updated version that is slightly improved from the previous game. The game has too many technical issues to be highly recommended for a wide audience.

8 / 10 - Ever Oasis
Jun 22, 2017

By mixing proven Action-RPG recipes with inspired puzzles and a slice of good-hearted life simulation, Ever Oasis already makes a refreshing cocktail. But there is more to discover under the sand of the desert than it seems, since the powerful stream of cooperation injected through the game's strata adds depth to this captivating adventure. Despite the inexplicable lack of multiplayer, such journey can be seen as a humanistic, ecological allegory from Koichi Ishii, and surely a benevolent experience, something rather rare these days.

3 / 10 - Akiba's Beat
Jun 21, 2017

Akiba's Beat is a poor game, with poor combats, poor RPG mechanics and poor customisation. Acquire forgot everything that made Akibas' Trip such a great game.
