A true tribute episode of a video game monument, Super Mario Odyssey collects the superlatives that make him, somewhere, the most accomplished episode of the saga.

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.

A perfect year on the floor, but errors on many elements surrounding it.

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.

DanganRonpa V3 is a great visual novel, but doesn't renew its formula. The fans of the series will be delighted. Finding the sadistic bear again with its children along is always a pleasure, especially since the game has numerous new developments in its scenario. We would have liked a slightly better general direction for the PS4, and a french translation with less mistakes and above all, no annoying glitches for now. However, we hope that they will be corrected when the game will be released in stores.

If, on paper, Warriors All Stars shows beautiful promises, we have to admit that the game is finally in an average position. Yes, some elements are eye-catching like evolving with the different licenses of Koei Tecmo. But, as a whole, the title has issues like a sometimes badly dosed difficulty, endless paths in the labyrinth of maps of battles without bringing great novelties. But, being able to embody Lu Bu, William or Kasumi out of their licenses remains really attractive.

Will Marvel vs Capcom Infinite be the bad student who will be laughed at for hours? No. Yes, developers have simplified things to make it more accessible than before, but at least they have never lied about their intentions. It is undeniable that it is easier to play, especially by the presence of "Super" almost automated, but this episode has still things to offer if you want to dig a little more. Indeed, The Stones of Infinity bring the game to another level, offering a more strategic side. Unfortunately, the graphics are a bit disapointing, especially with the competition which can be tough at this level. A good game to enjoy your evenings with your friends, failing to convince the most demanding players.

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.

Sparc is a good game with a simple concept that works pretty well, which enters into another dimension in VR. Unfortunately, the lack of content, online or offline, mess the whole thing. Why didn't they include tournaments ? Why do we have to watch others guys playing before getting in a game ? So many things which limit this title. We hope that CCP Games will make the things right for the launch of Sparc on the others VR headsets. If you're thinking about short term, you can give it a try !

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.

Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana is THE Japanese RPG of this end of summer on the PS4. It brings some new features to the series, two unique adventures, a big playground without denying what makes what Ys is. We'd like having a better general achievement and french translation to get an almost-perfect game. But those who like the genre have no reason to stay away from the game, which is a nice present for the 30th anniversary of the series.

Monster Hunter Stories is a good spin-off which fits in the Monster Hunter's universe. The game is quite different, but the player find his marks easily. Nevertheless the game is, first of all, intended for a young audience who wants to master the different aspects of the serie. However, you can have a good time waiting for Monster Hunter World.

Focusing his game on the psychosis of his heroine and his gameplay mechanics on it was a risky bet but won hands down. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a masterstroke for its storytelling, atmosphere, artistic direction and the care taken on the subject of mental illness and on Senua.

Aven Colony is a good city builder. The overall experience is great and has a tendency to make us addicted. Its accessibility, its huge quantity of statistics and buildings allow the title to shine in a kind of games which has been already seen many times. The only problem is the lack of challenge that could scare the most skilled gamers, when you look at the lifetime of the campaign mode. However, Aven Colony has many qualities and a good potential. To try it is simply to adopt it.

Master X Master isn't really a traditional MOBA, it is even better than that. The title is a "hybrid" between different kinds of games. Master X Master offers an intuitive gameplay, a great number of playable characters, and a content that doesn't have to be ashamed regarding the competition. Visually good, MxM has everything to make its place and give a little wind of freshness to the genre.

With a minimalist gameplay and offering the worst experience ever seen in a FPS, Get Even nevertheless succeeds in making an impression. With a great atmosphere and a quality soundtrack, the game brings a sweet madness in our sessions. The narration and acting of the main characters fascinate us during this well-designed investigation, even if there are some clich's. With more open areas and a better technique, Get Even could have been one of the unforgettable games of our summer, but instead of that, even if it's not memorable, it will bring you a cheerful experience.

If you have spent hours and hours in front of a CRT TV, grumbling, starting over and over one of the levels of the first three Crash Bandicoot to complete it 100%, you can go straight on the N.Sane Trilogy with your eyes closed. And if you've never played a Crash Bandicoot in your entire life, you can go on it too.

Despite a few flaws, Ever Oasis is already a game which has much to offer to the player and has a huge potential. Intelligent and showing some nice gameplay ideas, beautiful and realising an uncommon heat, the mix between oasis management and Action-RPG fits very well. The title really has the possibility to lead way to a hypothetical sequel and becoming a new Nintendo franchise. We only regret that the game comes on a 3DS which is at the end of its 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.
