The adorable little Ori is back. After a first episode full of charm (but not always, we remember the tragic introductory sequence), the little white character returns to us in a world just as magical as the previous one, but even more dangerous. The soundtrack may still be a big hit. Come on, we can admit it: the first opus, Ori and the Blind Forest, remains one of our favorite titles to the editor. We can’t wait to find the little character!

Doom Eternal will also offer you an “invasion” mode, in which you will have the possibility of playing a demon. However, you will have to be patient, because this mode will be released after the game’s exit. The date of release of this mode, which promises to increase the interest of the game (who said that we ended up getting tired of Doom?) Has yet to be released.

The action of this game takes place during the Mongol invasion of Japan on the Tsushima Islands in 1274. Jin Sakai, the character you play, is the last of the samurai. In order to defeat the Mongol Empire and fight for independence from Japan, you will need to learn to master a new fighting style called the Path of the Ghost. Ghost of Tsushima sets its scene in an open world: you can move anywhere, as you wish. This title is only played in “story” mode. To design their game, the developers were inspired by various manga like Lone Wolf & Cub, and it shows strongly in the trailer that you can watch above.

Cyberpunk 2077

Developer: CD Projekt RED
Platform (s): Xbox One, PS4, PC and Stadia

This is probably one of the most anticipated titles of the year, if not of the decade. The development of Cyberpunk 2077 started in 2012: the wait was long and we now hope that it was worth it. As the name of the game suggests, the action is in 2077. Here you will control V, the main character, who evolves in a futuristic and dangerous city. You can choose the look of your character, gender, class and skills (physical, intellectual, etc.). Any choice you make can have far-reaching consequences for the rest of the story. Another notable element: one of the non-playable characters is played by actor Keanu Reeves, who plays here a rockstar who has become a vigilante. In view of the premieres of this game, we really can’t wait to see what it’s worth, especially since it will fully exploit the Ray-Tracing card. If this technology is not a big first in the video game world, at this level.

Overwatch 2

Developer: Blizzard entertainment
Platform (s): PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC

Overwatch 2 will take over most of the elements of the first part, but will also offer a PvE story mode (player against the environment). Players will face AI co-op there. You will evolve in teams of four players on a map or will have to carry out the requested objectives. Good news: the players of the first Overwatch will also be able to find those of Overwatch2, but only in PvP (player against player). To access story mode, you will obviously need to buy Overwatch 2.
