Besides its difficulty that will discourage the less patient, the game wants to do too much and ends up weary, when technical bugs sometimes do not come into disream. It's a shame because you can still feel the good intentions of these designers and the world of Oddworld is still as fascinating as ever.

13 / 20 - Outriders
Apr 18, 2021

Solid, but generic. That sums up Outriders perfectly. An ultra nervous and particularly naughty looter TPS that will still offer some fun moments between friends.

Not only is it visually sound, but the artistic direction is also a hit. The new monsters are mostly sublime and their animations decidedly awesome. Despite the heaviness of some weapons, the fights are more dynamic than ever thanks to the Filoptere and each hunt offers jubilant moments where victory gives a real sense of accomplishment. In short, it's all good, vividly the sequel.

19 / 20 - It Takes Two
Apr 3, 2021

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.

Tarsier Studios delivers a suite worthy of its predecessor. The game does not pretend to reinvent the genre and despite the few problems tainting the gameplay, we feel that they put a lot of heart to the work to make this experience interesting and authentic, although too short.

15 / 20 - The Medium
Feb 7, 2021

The Medium is in line with previous studio productions. Namely a nice game with good ideas, but that suffers from some heaviness and a technique a bit below what the competition offers. On the other hand, even if the game takes its time in its first part, it offers a gripping story carried by strong subjects and strewn with twist. The Medium remains an atypical and convincing game despite its few shortcomings.

17 / 20 - Hitman 3
Jan 23, 2021

IO Interactive has brought the final touch to its great web of the World of Assassination, still offering players a reference infiltration sandbox - with superb destinations built intelligently and always varied after all this time - leading to the culmination of a unique formula and a beautiful end of trilogy.

17 / 20 - Cyberpunk 2077
Jan 3, 2021

Cyberpunk 2077 is an excellent experience, a good big RPG perfectly mastered, original and very addictive, but is not the huge, monumental achievement that was expected.

17 / 20 - Call of the Sea
Dec 30, 2020

Call of the Sea is a success. Taking the best of Firewatch as well as Lovecraft's books, Out of the Blue has managed to digest its inspirations to mix them and offer a moving story.

17 / 20 - Pistol Whip
Dec 29, 2020

There is no need to say, Pistol Whip is an effective game that puts our physical commitment to work in the most beautiful way. With its colorful and clean environments and its soundtrack well paced, it knows how to quickly embark us in its universe.

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.

Admittedly, Observer is not a triple A with a production equal to the video game stars of the genre, such as Cyberpunk 2077 or Deus Ex. And its anecdotal gameplay will not suit those looking for a "traditional" video game. But Observer is also a proposal, a vision of cyberpunk that honors the most striking works we have seen. With its creepy and oppressive world, its dirty and sticky atmosphere, and its narrative filled with innovative ideas, Observer is a game that marks the spirits. A successful coating that sublimates a mastered scenario, addressing themes specific to cyberpunk, and which reveals a dystopia where it makes it hurt.

A true wind of addictive and hypnotic freshness, Tetris Effect Connected offers a visual and auditory spectacle of high quality. Each level, each matrix, embarks us on a new universe that is sometimes poetic, sometimes psychedelic, but always captivating.

Keeping the cute side that made the success of his first albums, Sackboy: A Big Adventure finally meets the expectations of those looking for a nice little game to spend time with their offspring. But players accustomed to the sure values of the genre will regret the lack of challenge and memorable passages that remain in the lead several hours after a game. It is to be hoped for the future of the franchise that it will stop relying on the recipes of the success of its past to innovate as it had done in the era of PlayStation 3.

Devil May Cry 5 remains the one we have known in terms of its gameplay and we are therefore faced with one of the best games of the genre. The various additions imagined by the Capcom teams are welcome and perfectly take advantage of the power of the SSD and graphics chipsets of our machines.

Spider-Man Miles Morales must take center stage in your console at the end of the year.

Although it will seem short for most players, the title manages to shine thanks to its very cartoonish artistic direction as well as its crazy, characteristic humor.

Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition remains the great RPG that it was 10 years ago. Equipped with an excellent combat system and a real identity it will entertain those who have never played the original game as well as those who have already fat it.

Certainly one of the most significant games of the eighth generation of consoles, and already a major piece in video game history.

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.
