Twelve years after Crash Bandicoot’s last original adventure on home consoles, Activision and Toys for Bob have embarked on a gamble as risky as ambitious : to bring the famous orange marsupial back to the forefront of the video game scene with an episode paying homage to the original trilogy of the 90s. A challenge that worried more than one after the many years of wandering that the series knew. But for our greatest happiness : the bet is raised hands down. With Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, Toys for Bob undoubtedly delivers us one of the best episodes released to date and proves us at the same time that it’s never too late to revive the icon of a whole generation. Whether through its story, its gameplay or its artistic direction, this new adventure appears with every minute passing as a true love letter to Naughty Dog’s work. And we can say it… it was about time !

Iron Harvest had the challenge to do better than Company of Heroes without being an umpteenth copy of the game developed by Relic. Unfortunately, despite excellent art direction and fair good core gameplay, the game has far too many flaws to revolutionize its genre. And it is not its campaigns with ridiculus cutscenes that will come to plead in his favor. For mechs aficionados and players who are fed up of Company of Heroes 2.

Spiritfarer stands out as a real breath of fresh air arriving at the right time, after big video game releases at the start of the year (The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima etc) and those still to come with the next-gen. Its varied gameplay makes the experience interesting.. Its artistic direction and soundtrack give a relaxing and pleasant touch to the game, while its main subject is touching, even sad. Thunder Lotus manages to offer a relatively difficult speech with accuracy and brilliance

The downhill mountain biking simulation seems to have found, with Descenders, a truly faithful and quite convincing video game production. We enjoy discovering all the regions offered and accomplishing the bonus objectives, while progressing in the career of our rider. The Die & Retry side specific to the software is frankly interesting and we liked this feeling of learning all along. It will suit much more by its gameplay than by its graphics and its musical track, but that was more than enough for us to enjoy it.

We can easily say that Mortal Shell has nothing to be ashamed of From Software's games as it has a solid basis which bring some new exciting features. And it's a AA title. More accessible than most of the Souls-like games for all the gamers, it has his own codes. Mortal Shell is not a Dark Souls copycat and even if he doesn't have the same aura, it will easily make his path to your video-games library. And if you're still affraid of the Soulsborne, Mortal Shell seems to be the perfect choice to take a look at this very specific style, especially at a very kind price (29.99€)
