Let's not beat about the bush, What Remains of Edith Finch is a real nugget that manages to break the codes of the genre thanks to its inventive game design. This short, tragic and poignant adventure is sublimated by an ingenious level design, a refined sound and visual universe, and an exquisite narrative.

There are remakes that just offer a new youth to a work and there is Final Fantasy VII. Square Enix has managed to reinvent its myth by offering it a more consistent story, more in-depth characters, a fun combat system, exceptional music and a visual slap. Final Fantasy VII Remake is far from perfect, that's right. But the few pitfalls that can be formulated ultimately weigh little in the balance in the face of the sum of the qualities that he proposes to us. You're not going to go back to Midgar, you're going to rediscover it.

Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir is an exemplary remake, which excels in all areas, of those that we would like to see more often in the mode of the video game . Vanillaware proves that they are indeed the masters of 2D even in 1080p and 60Hertz. But significant progress has also been made in the way of playing, which is proving to be much more flexible, taking advantage of the lessons brought by Dragon's Crown and Muramasa.

Undoubtedly singular, Cuphead is a game as beautiful as it is ruthless. But behind this difficulty that will necessarily leave some players by the wayside, the title of Studio MDHR is not unfair and offers as much satisfaction as it requires requirement. A true love letter to the cartoons of the 30s, from Walt Disney to Hanna barbera, Cuphead has all the characteristics of a masterpiece that is just asking to be tamed to express what it has most beautiful to offer. It is a success.

Tales of Arise marks a real turning point for the license. More mature than its predecessors, the app may deal with the same themes as the previous opus, it adds a lot of nuance and does not fall into the clichés of the genre when treating its characters. Alphen and Shionne form a duo that is both touching and dynamic while the second knives that complete the group are not to be outdone and also benefit from a special care.

In addition to its majestic artistic direction, its stunning staging and its striking musical themes, the title also manages to convince where it was not necessarily expected, thanks to a progression system and a demanding gameplay that borrow the best from references that have proven themselves in the field. Ember Lab is therefore achieving a real tour de force for its first try in the world of gaming and just for that, hats off.

Don't judge a book by its cover. Inscryption sells itself as a roguelite card game immersed in an anxious atmosphere, but it is actually much more than that. With an intelligent narrative, simple but surprising staging effects and mechanics that are renewed as much as the artistic direction, the game hides a lot of surprises and turns out to be a most singular experience, which does not care about the 4th wall.

This new episode still tends to rally new players to its cause. Fans will appreciate the few revelations around Samus Aran and on the universe of the game, neophytes meanwhile, will be delighted to make their weapons on this masterful opus. Metroid Dread is a real success both in terms of its level design, gameplay and atmosphere. I can only recommend this game despite the potential difficulty that may put off some players. An adventure that we will not get enough of doing and redoing while waiting for a sequel.

In its entirety, Halo Infinite is excellent. The campaign may have its problems, including this mania to sink into the clichés of the open world, it remains solid and is done without displeasure even if the coop is delayed. Finally, its fully free-to-play multiplayer component is certainly the best multiplayer experience of this end of the year.

A "must have" that, in addition to being original, is as beautiful as it is demanding and diabolical by its gameplay.

That the wait was long, but what a pleasure to find the license at this level. Gran Turismo 7 offers us an absolutely gargantuan menu that rhymes competition with passion. If this opus still drags some 25-year-old flaws (collisions, damage), it reconnects with its glorious past with its exhilarating gaming sensations, bluffing graphics and a plethoric content that promises an incomparable lifespan.

Amplitude made a great work, Endless Space 2 is a good successor of is big brother and bring a lot of new stuff for the gamers. A game who's easy enough for beginner and really interesting if you dig upon the gameplay, thanks to a nicely done politic system. If the developer can correct some bugs, we can have an epic 4X game for the fans. Anyway we hope the combat system will change to something more visceral on an hypotetic third game.

Codemasters succeeds in doing better this year with a game which almost improves on all levels. The redesign of R&D through the integration of a huge tree of competence justifies many hours of play, while the addition of historical cars will fulfill the expectations of many fans. However, with all this great work on one side, it is disapointing to see such old graphics on the other side. Nevertheless, F1 2017 is an excellent game close to perfection, which will keep you in front of your TV until the next edition.

Yo-kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters is the ultimate version of Yo-kai Watch 2. Despite the fact that the 3DS will still get new opus from the license, this one is probably the most complete released in Europe. The players who already have Fleshy Souls or Bony Spirits will only have a few novelties. As qualitative as these novelties can be, this can make people hesitate to buy the game at a high price, especially since the arrival of version 2.0. On the other hand, those who have not purchased the game since its release last spring can buy it without hesitation.
