Be careful, however, this game is particularly violent and detailed.

Mafia Trilogy: a facelift to a game originally released on PC
The PS4 game Mafia Trilogy brings together the 3 parts of the famous saga on PC.
We rediscover Tommy Angelo and his moving story in the middle of Lost Heaven, an imaginary city largely inspired by Chicago of the 1930s. The style of play is inspired by classic GTA-Like, alternating exploration and armed combat.
If the three games are successful, the big highlight of this trilogy remains the complete facelift brought to the original Mafia, accompanied by an essential soundtrack.
The most
:
a complete remastering of Mafia 1
a box set bringing together the saga
a successful passage on the console gameplay

Assassin's Creed Valhalla takes place between Norway and England during the time of the Vikings.
Male or female depending on the starting customization, the main character Eivor will aim to federate friendships for a bloody final fight.
But Sigurd, Eivor's brother and village chief, does not necessarily hear it that way.
Besides the main quest, the player has something to do with the hundreds of quests and items to collect throughout the map.
The most
:
the Assassin's Creed license settles among the Vikings
the AC codes respected (Angel's jump, synchronization point, stealth ...)

Marvel's Spiderman Miles Morales: New York City Skyscrapers Walking Tour

Fans of realism appreciate the PS4 Driveclub game.
The tracks, spread across Scotland, Chile, Norway, Canada and India, allow you to get behind the wheel of 50 different cars.
The landscapes, but also the reflections on the bodywork or on the wet asphalt accentuate the already very present immersion.
Each race won earns experience, which in turn unlocks options for vehicles.
For those familiar with the genre, the "Hardcore" mode adds additional difficulty.

breathtaking realism
50 different vehicles to drive
several circuits spread over 5 countries

some levels are particularly complex

On the program of their journey: slaps, wild boars and timed races of all kinds.
