Sometimes the adventure / walking simulator genre can be full of nice surprises, but there are also cases of games that are maybe a bit too ambitious for the studio behind it. Kursk is one of these titles. Wanting to propose a visually realistic experience is of course something that should be praised, but sadly, when the animations and gameplay mechanics end up so clunky and dated, it's a lot more difficult to feel immersed and be interested in the story the developers want to tell. For now, the game is too poorly optimized to be recommended, as even our GTX 1080 Ti struggles in 1080p.

The Mario Party series welcomes a new episode on Nintendo Switch. In addition to its 20 playable characters and 80 mini-games, Super Mario Party also offers a new online mini-games mode or the Rafting Excursion which requires you to play in cooperation.

With a cool design and some good gameplay ideas, The World Ends With You had already attracted a lot of players with the Nintendo DS version.

Here are 20 minutes of gameplay captured on Switch.

While Hitman 2 has been playable since the end of last week for those who purchased the Gold Edition of the game, it will only ship for everyone this week. Here are 2 videos of the PC version, which seems to be more stable in terms of framerate now, though clearly not perfect even with our GTX 1080 Ti and the different resolutions we have decided to show here. The first video was recorded in 1080p with a supersampling setting of 1.3 (which pushes the resolution to around 1400p). We did the same with the beginning of the second video and as you'll see, the introductory cutscene isn't 100% smooth. We then show different resolution settings in the course of the second mission. The Mirillis Action! counter will allow you to see the drops.

Hitman 2 will be playable for all those who purchased the Gold Edition tomorrow, but we have been able to complete the main story in time for the end of the embargo. For different reasons, we haven't been able to translate our verdict, so all we have for you today is a bunch of videos of the Xbox One X version. As you'll see, performance isn't great in both graphics modes on Xbox One X, but the PC version we have had access to wasn't too good either in our experience (we don't know if there will be drivers for the game this week but we had to play with the 416.34 drivers which were released on 10/11/2018).
Update: HDR video added.

The first time we told you about Orphan, it was back in 2015. The game has been available for a coupe of weeks now and we thought we'd share the first 15 minutes of the adventure with you.
