Though it might not he exactly what Housemarque got us used to, Returnal offers an excellent experience. It's a very difficult 3rd person roguelike that can be frustrating at times, but will also come up as greatly gratifying. When we figure out what to expect, we let ourselves be taken by the intriguing atmosphere and the decisions we have to take to survive. Housemarque did it once again.

Apex Legends on Switch is one of the least successfull port of Panic Button Games. The studio had to do a lot of sacrifices to bring this free battle royal to the platform. The many technical issues and the fact that you can't transfer your save from another console, makes it tough to justify jumping on this version.

Darq is a nice surprise on the next-gen consoles especially with the haptic feedback of the PS5. Despite being short and offering fairly easy puzzles, the game manages to be interesting.

DiRT 5 is a good game. Not the best of the series, but far from the worst. It is excessively beautiful and a whole lot of fun. It will please the fan of racing games, but mostly the ones that just like to play from time to time. Those looking for realism will probably pass on that one.

Outriders is not the most innovating title and doesn't really deliver the greatest experience in its genre. Nevertheless, when playing in coop and if you're fan of the genre, you could quickly forget the flaws and enjoy the experience. The game is going to have to bring a lot of additionnal content quickly if it hopes to keep an active community.

Evil Genius 2 : World Domination brings back good memories with an experience offering similar sensations. In the end, I appreciated the content provided, but it is a bit repetitive and offers very little new additions. Hopefully, the additional content coming in the futur will help vary the gameplay a bit.

Gnosia is basically a solo Among Us. A good plot, interesting characters, we always want to learn more and more as the stories pass by quickly. If you're comfortable with reading a whole lot, you should definitely give it a shot.

Another indie game that could've easily flown under the radar, Curse of the Dead Gods is a whole lot of fun. Greatly inspired by games like Hades, Dead Cells or Darkest Dungeon, it still managers to shine amongs the roguelites. A very good game early in 2021.

With an undeniably charming visual, a captivating story and complex gameplay, Bravely Default II is a great JRPG. Despite a few slowdowns, BD2 should satisfy veterans of the genre with its great soundtrack and high level of difficulty. It might not be a game for newcomers, but Claytechworks managed to bring the franchise to the next level without forgetting the essence of what made it great.

Little Nightmares II is a great sequel that builds on the strengths of the first game while making some key adjustments to the gameplay and the overall experience. This new chapter met all my expectations with a compelling story that ties into the first game beautifully. Although the controls are not as buttery smooth as I wish, it is a fun and quick little game that is very well put together.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury offers much more than your regular Switch port with a brand new adventure that packs between 5 and 8 hours of great new original content. I loved my time spent in this new open world of Bowser's Fury and going through 3D World a second time sure was a blast. Hopefully, this new package gives the game the second life that it truly deserves.

Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is a step in the right direction for Nihon Falcom with some intense combats and a well-thought-out story. The characters are fun and they bring a lot of possibilities to the gameplaly making it almost impossible for the players to get bored. If it wasn't for the very average visuals and the monotonous colors of the game, the experience could've gone from good to great. Guess we'll have to wait for Ys X...

The Medium is another proof that you should not stop at the first impression. I started a bit disappointed, but I ended up in awe of the very touching story and the innovative duality of the game. Although, it is only the first steps in a 3rd person world for Bloober Team, we can say that they succeeded implementing this new approach. I recommend you give it a shot as the more you will play it, the more you will want to uncover its mysteries.

Hitman 3 offers enough new elements to stay fresh in the eyes of the veterans of the franchise. If you are a fan of stealth games, this is a very complete experience. You will want to discover all the possible endings that IO Interactive prepared for the players. Despite the aging graphic engine, this title concludes the trilogy on a high note.

Visage achieves a real tour de force. It allows itself to put us in confidence and control before destroying us in the most efficient way. The chapters being all different, the game is renewed each time. Its atmosphere and its difficulty turn it into a game that you shouldn't put in all hands. In my opinion, Visage is a success and you should give it a chance at least once in your life (if you feel up to it).

Crayta offers a lot of fun ideas that reinvent the coop game in many ways. Whether its the group creations, the original games, the very engaged community or the constant efforts from the devs, it should keep you busy for many hours.
