Forza Horizon 4 marks another success for the franchise and proves once again that it is the new yardstick in the fun open world racing game. Each improvement made to the gameplay vis-à-vis the previous opus is a success and the season system remains a landmark improvement in the field of car simulation.

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.

Spider-Man is indeed the new souffe expected for the license and a nice note of intent for the universe that Marvel wants to install in video games. Beautiful visually, the game makes us live epic moments thanks to a controlled staging despite an uneven adventure that delivers its best moments at the end.

DQ XI is classic in its shape,despite some additions and new features, but the game managed to surprise us in a beautiful way due to its scenario. Epic and surprising for the series, he will affect palyers looking for a very good JRPG with texts translated into french. We would have liked to have a better technique especially for the score. But its richness, its characters are also here to give us a nice adventure. And it's seems obvious that all the fans have to buy the game.

Dead Cells is a success story of its kind. Generous, addictive, fun and sometimes frustrating, the title has enough to take you dozens and dozens of hours without you tired as its mastered concept easily pushes to video game bulimia.

AirHeart is a haunting game with some game's mechanics offering many hours of flight, but this is unfortunately at the cost of some repetitiveness. The possibility of making crafts and customize your plane allows you to have a gear that adapts to the way you play. The history is not unforgettable but the music that will accompany you throughout your trip deserve this rise.

Sonic Mania Plus brilliantly offers a definitive edition of what remains the best adventure of the blue hedgehog of the last 20 years, the title is a Must-have for both fans and newcomers.

For his third title, Farsky Interactive worked the platformer game using the grapple as a means of propulsion. The Free Ones is a good game that gives you some pleasant moments, even if it is not perfect and environments are missing life. Through his adventure, Theo will embark on a conventional story, but here it is more the way you progress that must be retained rather than the epilogue.

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.

Sega Megadrive Classics is certainly not ''the'' ultimate collection which will satisfy everyone, due to the lack of some great games and the retirement of others, but the new entries are also remarkable. The offer is still efficient as before. We regret that too few games can be played in french language. Still, for the price, that collection worth its purchase, either to discover some forgotten gems ( and some rotten games too), or to initiate those who have not known the90's in video games with a best-of coming from one of the best consoles of its generation.

Boucy Bob is not a good indie game. He has still some ideas, and it sell price is cheap. But this doesn't explain the lacks shown within': the one single button gameplay could have been a good idea, but is the main limitation of the title as well. Furthermore, with a small number of levels and a very weak multiplayer mode, Bouncy Bob is even more limited. Instead of bouncing, that game falls flat like an old football after a few hours.

State of Decay 2 keeps all its promises in terms of gameplay and offers us a real survival experience where the slightest mistake will be punished immediately. The huge play area on offer allows us to express our nosy skills while discovering zombies of all kinds.

We had to wait 5 years to get a new episode of the God of War franchise, but it was worth it. After getting lost with its previous episode, the serie returns to the top, which it has already known in the past. Managing the father-son relationship works great and Atreus is more than just an awkward NPC. All the elements of the puzzle fit perfectly and naturally to offer a memorable adventure that proves that risk taking can pay off. Even if he loses some of his excessiveness, Kratos has never been so indisputable in your library. It is impossible to miss this God of War if you own a PlayStation 4, the game takes a clear lead over the competition for the title of the GOTY 2018.

Radiant Historia': Perfect Chronology isn't as perfect as we expected, but is still an excellent opportunity to test a game which was never officialy released in Europe in a enhanced version. We would have enjoyed a more significant technical progress, and a french translation for this title who has a very developped story. These few minors flaws should not prevent the 3DS owners from playing a gold standard in japanese role-playing game.

Gothic universe and charismatic characters, masterful soundtrack and rich and accessible gameplay are on the program, the whole being served by an explosive staging that has made the reputation of PlatinumGames. Enough to spend many hours in the company of the beautiful witch, waiting to find her in a third part.

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.

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.

With Rompancin SaGa 2, Square Enix allows us to rediscover a game from a not well-known series in these parts of the world. It offers a certain originality and some principles not very seen in the a japanese role-playing game, for example an almost total freedom, but, in the other hand, it makes the game not be accessible and not easy, addressing the game to the hardcore gamers. Both complete and complex, we would however have preferered the game being more than just a transposition from the smartphone version sold at a higher price.

If Nights of Azure could have been a promising franchise, Gust didn't succeed in making a good use of it with this second game. Despite a few improvements, Bride of the New Moon is technically and narratively too weak to outperform his predecessor. Only its casting, while too clich' and hyper-sexualized, raises the bar and offers a few cute moments. In itself, Nights of Azure 2 isn't a chaotic game and JRPG fans will most likely enjoy it.

Etrian Odyssey V': Beyond the Myth clearly is for those who know the series well. However, they may be still confused, due to a very high difficulty along the game, even more than in the previous episodes. But the interest is still there, with new classes, and some welcome new features in game. Plus, the game will reward with its richness the most relentless players, but it may also leave the beginners behind.
