- Android - I only played the game offline so that's what my "review" is based on. Graphically the game is stunning! Especially considering that it's a free game. The maps are also pretty diverse even tho I think that dedicating 3-4 separate maps for 1 country was stupid af. My main issue with the game is that it's incredibly hard to win a race, I'm not that good at the game but I should at least be able to reach fucking 3rd place on the easiest mode lmao. I mean it's probably because of the bad cars I used, but I don't have the money nor want to spend the money to buy a better car lol. It's far from being a bad game tho, and while they do ask for money for certain modes (I think?) and cars and stuff, I think they're still pretty generous with what they give you when you start the game.
64. NBA 2k16 [19/20]
- Xbox One - So like I said in my Live 16 review, NBA 2K16 was clearly the superior game imo. It has a HUGE roster with historic and international teams, a good character creator (could be better but definitely not as bad as some other sport games), a roster editor and also an AMAZING story mode! The story was one of the best I've seen in any sports game, I got really attached to the characters and the "ending" had my shook tbh. My only issue with the game is that without paying with real money, it's gonna take you a long ass time to have a decent myplayer! I'm really happy they kinda fixed that in the next game because playing in the NBA with such a bum ass character is really annoying lmao.
65. Dragon Age II [18/20]
- Playstation 3 - So I started playing it right after finishing Inquisition, however I knew it wouldn't even be close to be as good as Inquisition since it's known for being the worst Dragon Age game. However I was nicely surprised, I liked the game a lot, especially the characters. I romanced Anders this time and he actually made the game way more enjoyable for me. I do think the graphics are pretty dated especially when you compare it to Mass Effect 2 or other games like Red Dead Redemption which came out a year before. I also IMMENSELY regretted choosing a rogue character, fucking USELESS I swear, I ended up never fighting with my Hawke so the boss fights where a real struggle. Talking about the boss fights, fuck the chapter 2 boss fight, I forgot his name but I hate that motherfucker SO MUCH lmao hardest boss ever. But overall it is a good game, pretty underrated imo, the story is good and it has some really good characters.
66. Oxenfree [20/20]
- Xbox One - THIS GAME!! Thank you Xbox SO much for giving it as a game with gold title because this game is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! I loved the characters, except maybe Nona who was pretty useless but I also never took her with me so that might explain why I don't care about here. The story is everything. The ending fucked with my head so badly I was still thinking about it days later. I got the best ending imo (everyone survives except Michael), but still it was so crazy. I wouldn't call this game a horror game, but the atmosphere of the game is just so chilling imo, we're stuck alone on a haunted island with fuckin loops happening every 5 minutes and our friends getting possessed out of nowhere! The music is also amazingly creepy, like it's mostly the same melody but it really fits the game. This is probably my favorite Indie game ever with Unravel tbh, it's honestly a must play imo.
67. Forza Horizon 3 (18/20]
- Xbox One - This was my first racing game from the 8th generation and it BLEW me the fuck away! This game is so stunning, every areas are just breathtaking! Especially the ones near the beach! Graphically it's definitely one of the best game from this generation imo. Gameplay wise, I loved the controls, it was a good mix between realistic simulation and arcade, I also loved the fact that you could rewind anytime you fuck up something lol. My only small issue with the game is that I wish the missions were more diverse, they get pretty repetitive once you've done the same type of mission 5 or 6 times.
68. NHL 17 [15/20]
- Xbox One - So I know absolutely NOTHING about hockey, my only experience with hockey was playing NHL 2006 when I was like 7 yo. So except the basic concept of hockey I was pretty new to it, so I didn't really was team was good or what player was good (which didn't really matter anyway cause I made my own). The gameplay was pretty solid, however out of all the sports game I've played it's definitely the one I had the hardest time making points. Graphically it's pretty nice however once again like in Live 16 and NFL 17, the character creation is pretty basic, out of the 3 games tho it's definitely the best with the most face choices. Career mode s fun but really long so it can get boring, especially if you're like me and not that interested in hockey. It was a good solid game tho, but like any sports game it's probably better to know more about the sport to truly appreciate the game.
69. Handball 2016 [08/20]
- Playstation 3 - Probably and hopefully the worst game I've played/will be playing this year. I feel like i'm being lowkey generous af with that 08/20 cause this games is really terrible. I know it was made by a small company but damn like there is zero fun in this game. The graphics are horrible, there are not cut scenes to show the players, the commentary SUCKS ass and the gameplay is shitty af. It's funny to play it for like 10 minutes because of how ridiculous it is but once you realize the gameplay is not far from broken, it just stops being funny and starts getting annoying. And it's coming from someone who's really easily pleased with video games usually.
70. FIFA 17 [18/20]
- Xbox One - EA definitely put a lot more work into this game than NBA Live 16, NFL 17 and NHL 17. I'm from France so i'm pretty familiar with football since it's really popular here and I've previously played a few football games however I never actually owned one. I loved the game, the gameplay is really good, even if your character has low stats you can still play pretty correctly and not look like a complete amateur trying to be a professional. Graphically it's also really good, the cut scenes in the Journey mode are stunning. I also love that the game has a proper create a character, and not just some random "choose a head" type of shit. The career mode is also the best from any EA sports game, it's way more realistic + the Journey mode also add a real story mode which most EA sports game lack off.
71. Yoshi's Woolly World [18/20]
- Wii U - Yoshi's probably my favorite Nintendo character ever, he's just so cute and innocent how can you not like him tbh? Yoshi's Woolly World was one of the games I was the most interested in for the Wii U, and I wasn't disappointed tbh. It's a solid platformer with a lot of unique ideas. Graphically it's also really beautiful, I especially loved the snow world ! I did have a few issues tho with the "puzzle" levels which were annoying af, I will never understand why they thought it would be fun to do such levels. But overall I really liked the game, it's pretty similar to the Kirby games but with a bit more challenge (it's never that hard tho).
72. NBA 2K17 [17/20]
- Xbox One - So as I've already said I'm a big basketball and NBA fan, so I already liked the game just because of that. However this game while being a really good basketball game, feels more like an update of NBA 2k17 than a truly new game. The gameplay is better tho, I like the shooting way more, and they also fixed the MyPlayer issue I had where it took way too long to upgrade your skills without paying with real money. However the career mode, or more the story is not even close to being as good as NBA 2k16's. I wouldn't even call it a story since there basically no storyline except "I made it to the NBA yoohoo".
73. Infamous : Second Son [20/20]
- Playstation 4 - First game I ever played on PS4 and i'm honestly glad I chose it as my first game because it was AMAZING! I haven't played the first two games but I was familiar with them so I knew what type of game it would be and I was a bit iffy about it cause I'm not typically a huge of game where you can ran really fast or fly everywhere, however this game handled the powers really well imo, only minor issue was the shooting which wasn't really precise but it wasn't that bad. I also thought the game looked STUNNING! Seattle is so pretty tbh, I loved just walking around the city to visit it (even tho that wasn't really possible after like the half of the game since everyone wants to kill you lol). The story and especially the two main character were really interesting imo, and tbh [SPOILER] Reggie's death was so sad and unnecessary, I was so shocked I honestly didn't believe they killed him like that! My only regret is that we didn't really get to know more about the side characters.
74. Saints Row 2 [20/20]
- PC - Saints Row 2 was the first Saints Row game I ever played (like 5 years ago) however I never really got far into the story. I previously played this year the third and fourth game and I liked both of them, especially the fourth, but I did remember this game to be quite different in term of atmosphere however I played it such a long time ago that I barely remember anything except the crazy cheat code lol. My first thought was why is the city so much better than in the two next game? I love the city so much it's so much more alive and realistic imo, I feel like there was so much more pedestrians in this game! I also loved the crazy side quests! I made my character similar looking to both my SR 3 and 4 character, however he did feel like a completely different character to the one in the 4th game, way more serious and bossy, but I feel like both fitted there respective game. Overall I really liked the game, it's so much more than a simple GTA clone like some people try to make it out to be.
75. Mad Max [16/20]
- Xbox One - I have extremely mixed feelings about this game. In one hand I loved the atmosphere and graphically it's incredibly stunning, but on the other there is so many annoying things about that game that I didn't really get into it as much as I wanted to. So the positives graphically stunning as I said, I also loved the fighting system in the game and the overall animations. However that's about it for the positives tbh. The story wasn't that exiting, Max was a rude bitch during the whole game who killed the only person who was by his side all the time, he also threw away a gift from a lil ass girl (like who does that!), everyone wants to kill you so it's barely possible to even start a fuckin mission and also the control of the car are annoying as hell. So yeah. I do have to say it's far from being a bad game, it is a good game I just think it wasn't for me, it has a lot of good qualities but I guess I was just to bad at the game or somethin lol which made it a pretty annoying experience.
76. D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die [19/20]
- Xbox One - D4 is probably the weirdest game I've played in all my life! You start out thinking it's gonna be this serious deep story and then a female who acts like a cat just busts through your door and attacks you lol. At first I was honestly confused but the more I played the game the more I liked it, it's really original and totally wtf. It's not gonna be everyone's cup of tea but I like a game that is different. The story was pretty basic yet I was really into, mostly because I loved David, he's so serious and funny at the same time it's hilarious. I really wish there would be a sequel or a second season because they kinda finished the game with a cliffhanger and I really hate that I'll never know the true ending!
77. Fatal Fury: King of Fighters [15/20]
- Neo Geo - So I decided to do a full playtrough of all the KOF games, and so I obviously started with the one who started it all : FF King of Fighters. I love the game, it's the one who started it all and even tho there is only 3 playable characters, it has the Bogard brothers and Geese Howard! Graphically I also think it's stunning, the backgrounds in SNK games are always so beautiful tbh. It is however the first game so it does have a few issues, a bigger roster would've been better and the AI is also a little cheap (but that's probably just me sucking at 2D fighting games lol), it gets a bit boring after you've played with all the 3 characters but it's still a game that every fighting game fans should play just to see how much they evolved!
78. Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 [20/20]
- Playstation 2 -The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise is my second al ltime favorite video game franchise so it was no surprise I'd absolutely adore this game! It has the same mechanics and the same feels to it. The gameplay is really easy to pick up especially if you've played TH games before. I also love the maps, especially Los Angeles and New Orleans. The music is also perfect but that isn't a shock tbh. My only small issue is that I wish it has more or the Tony Hawk's games humour, it kinda lacks a few funny npcs here and there. But overall it's an amazing game, super fun and probably one of the best bmx game ever.
79. Fatal Fury 2 [16/20]
- Neo Geo - Second game from my KOF playtrough, and it's actually a lot better than the first one. I don't feel like graphically there is a big change, it's a little prettier but not a big difference. The backgrounds are still stunning, SNK was/is really talented at making some really amazing backgrounds in their fighting games tbh, with musics that always fit perfectly! The biggest + in this game is definitely the addition of new characters, especially the iconic Mai and to a lesser extent Kim. I do feel like except these two and the Bogard brothers, most of the fighters are kinda filler. This game does have one of my favorite boss battle of all time tho, seriously, so legendary!
80. Heart Of Darkness [18/20]
- Playstation 1 - This game is probably the hardest platforming game I've ver played. It is however really good and definitely and underrated game! It's really beautiful and all the animations make the game look like a real animation movie! The creepy monsters mixed with the childish feel of the game really makes it unique and memorable to me. This game however, as I said, is incredibly difficult, and will take a lot of time and patience to master. However it's not hard because of clunky gameplay or whatever, so it's hard but not in a "it's impossible to do it cause the game is a fucking glitchy mess" type of hard. I do recommend tho because it's truly an unique and fun experience.
81. Art of Fighting [16/20]
- Neo Geo - Third game from my KOF playtrough! Just like in Fatal Fury 1, Art of Fighting 1 only has the main characters as playable fighters, however even tho Fatal Fury 1 had the Bogard brothers, AOF has Robert Garcia who is imo a much more unique character. I don't care about Ryo at all, he's just the token boring hero fighter that you see in every fighting games tbh. I also think that graphically it was definitely the prettiest game of it's time, the bigger characters and the background just look so good. The only thing that this game doesn't have imo is a good boss, Mr Karate is pretty boring imo compared to Geese and Wolfgang.
82. Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown [19/20]
- Xbox 360 - My opinion of this game is the exact same as the one about Virtua Fighter 5 "basic edition" so I don't really have much to say. I do love the new backgrounds a lot and Jean is an amazing addition to the game! I don't care about Taka Arashi at all tho, he's super boring and not and exiting fighter at all to me. A good thing about this game is that they changed the difficulty level and made Dural way more easily unlockable. I still have nightmares trying to unlock her in the basic version lol. Definitely the best Virtua Fighter tbh, still waiting for a new game tho =/
83. Street Fighter [12/20]
- Arcade - I also decided to to a full Street Fighter playtrough while doing my KOF one. So obviously I had to play this game and well, that was...a start lol. Only two characters who look the same and a horribly cheap CPU. I mean probably the cheapest I've ever seen in a fighting game. It was fun to play tho, I mean just seeing how far the game has come and I think every fan of the serie should try to play it once just to have the experience.
