Dark Souls III should serve as a bible for the often difficult exercise of the final episode of a franchise. In conclusion, this ultimate "Soulien" journey is quite simply the masterpiece undoubtedly imagined since the beginning of the series by its creator Miyazaki.

Demon's Souls Remake is beautiful and fluid, what a pleasure to return to the land of Boletaria in these conditions. The bestiary is varied, the fights are technical and demanding. What could be better than learning through failure to improve? Because yes, you will die and die, but that is what makes the feat even more rewarding.

Josef Fares succeeds brilliantly in his bet. With It Takes Two, he offers us an effective and enchanting cooperative game in which we clearly don't have time to get bored. Even if its scenario does not break 3 legs to a duck and it ends a little dry, it allows to propose multiple inspired universes that we take pleasure in crossing.

Death's Door is a game of rare excellence. We are caught in it instantly thanks to its singular graphic paw and its first lines of dialogue that set the tone. Acid Nerve signs here a title with gameplay perhaps too simplistic on paper, but perfectly oiled, which also offers nervous and demanding fights, especially boss fights.

Because there won't be such an imposing development for a long time, Red Dead Redemption 2 asserts itself as the testament game of a generation that is coming to an end.

17 for those who have played it on PS3. Even if at first glance, the graphic gap may appear derisory on The Last Of Us Remastered, the technical power made available to the game by the PS4 allows it to fully express its potential and captivate once again players who have already traveled the adventure on PS3.

Titles that will mark the history of video games, we find perhaps 3 or 4 per generation of consoles. It's very little, still happy, but it's the price of skimming. For many, Smash Bros. on Wii U will be part of this race, that of the venerable, of those who will be talked about by the fire to our grandchildren.

Let's not procrastinate, The Witcher 3 is well at the level we expected it to be. Bulimic RPG that devours everything in its path, the title has absolutely everything to convince. An impressive plastic when you measure the size of its universe, a generosity without limits, then a gameplay certainly classic but well put together.

Twelve years after its initial release, Shadow of the Colossus now has the realization it deserves. The title is sublimated here. Bluepoint has done a goldsmith's job to arrive at such a graphic redesign without touching an iota of the original story.

Hollow Knight demonstrates that indie play is able to compete with the biggest productions. Artistically superb, generous, addictive and mastered from start to finish, the title offers an unmissable experience for all fans of the Metroidvania genre who would be looking for a more pronounced challenge than in Ori and the Blind Forest.

Forza Horizon 5 is the monster of car racing that we have been waiting for. Fun, exotic, beautiful to fart the mirettes, Playground Games has made a monumental taf to serve us a real video game pearl. Ultra generous, it also shines by the diversity of what it offers and already offers hundreds of hours of content.

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is aimed primarily at newcomers who have yet to taste the joys of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.

Kindom Hearts III is like a giant Disneyland Park. The game keeps its promises and will delight all the players who will buy it. He renews the combat system in a very good way, but has few minors flaw making the experience not totally sastisfying even if it's a very good trip. KH 3 is generous in its content, offers a nice conclusion and the fans will really enjoy the game. The newcomers could feel a little bit lost though, but this title is without any doubt one of the great games of the beginning of this year.
Zelda manages to change its core mechanics brilliantly with a well thought-out gameplay that undusts the saga while opening the door to newcomers. Its colorful universe and atypical characters are the foundation of a magical experience, and it bewitched us before we realised it. Wandering the land of Hyrule quickly becomes an obsession at any time of the day. It's just a pity that the title is handicaped by the technical shortcomings of the Switch and that the size of the Joy-Cons cause a few hiccups here and there. For those who'll choose to live the adventure in handheld mode, this episode is a must-have on the console and shows that sometimes, only one title is needed to redeem a whole lineup.

Everything we have seen since the announcement of this 2018's edition, is in the final version which will release this week. Konami has always mastered the graphic aspect of his title and really improves the technical part, although the management of contacts between players needs to be improved. Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 marks the beginning of a new era for the franchise, and we hope that Konami will be more reactive to transfers and that the atmosphere will improve in the future. Let it be said, the title is not here to play as an extra, but wants to make an impression with a long awaited revolution. PES 2018 restores the franchise's reputation.

Monster Hunter World doesn't revolutionize the genre, but improves it anyway. Indeed, apart from loading times that can sometimes seem long and some graphic bugs, the game has improved a formula that has always worked. If some changes may disappoint long-time fans, the game remains accessible to everyone. Rethink a game is never an easy thing, but Capcom has succeeded. As epic as it is beautiful, Monster Hunter World is a must-have of the saga.

Forget the flawed spin-off named Valkyrira Revolution with Valkyria Chronicles 4. Sega delivers a formula that still wonderfully works ten years later. Its unique design makes the game recognizable among all others. The difficulty is quite high and will occupy you for a while besides all the sidequests. The translation into french language is another reason to buy this game mixing story, strategy and tactical sens despite a few flaws. We hope we will no longer wait for ten years before antoher game like this comes on our home consoles.
