IGN Middle East's Reviews

Jun 8, 2016

So was the Marrakesh episode a step up from the Sapienza? Definitely not. The targets were a bit too easy (or maybe I’m just getting good at the game), and I could not get over the local shopkeepers or even the soldiers who talk with a really strong American accent. The whole episodic release plan might not have been the smartest idea because this episode wouldn't really get you stoked for the next one.

Unfortunately, the open world of Mirror's Edge: Catalyst is a sad and disappointing one and if it weren't for the exciting parkour and constant running it would have been absolutely barren. A superficial story, weak characters, and okay visuals make Catalyst is less than stellar continuation of Faith's story.

Warner Bros. has done what we all wanted EA to do: create a genuinely fun Star Wars experience that honors the beloved universe. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is incredibly fun and it's jampacked with easter eggs that'll make any fan smile. The game is full of charm and witty humor, the story is great, the levels and puzzles are terrific, and the new gameplay mechanics add a lot of much needed diversity.

8.2 / 10.0 - No Man's Sky
Aug 12, 2016

No Man's Sky might not be a perfect game, in fact it is riddled with flaws from a technical and visual perspective, but it is certainly a bold new step that benefited from random generation technology to give us an impressive universe with endless possibility. We have to appreciate the effort that the small Hello Games has been able to put into this.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is an excellent continuation of the series. It has a deep and balanced story with additions that might seem trivial to some but are highly effective in transforming the gameplay experience. The graphics on the PS4 need to be upgraded for players on the console to have a better time with the game.

The King of Fighters XIV is one of the best installments for the series so far and it paves the way for a new era of SNK fighting games in the future. If you're a fan of the genre and want to go through a unique and enjoyable experience, then The King of Fighters XIV is the game for you.

Hitman’s latest mission is fairly reminiscent of the more classic Hitman games, thanks to the extravagant hotel setup, and well guarded targets. However, due to some glitches, and some minor complications in gameplay, the latest mission just misses the target by a few inches.

7.5 / 10.0 - Seasons After Fall
Sep 3, 2016

Seasons After Fall is an incredibly charming platforming experience. The art style, soundtrack, and overall atmosphere are well done. The powers of the seasons are also great although the puzzles weren’t challenging enough and didn’t utilize them properly. If you feel like having a good time without thinking too much, I would definitely recommend it. However, if you’re looking for a challenge, this might not be the game for you.

8.5 / 10.0 - NBA 2K17
Sep 20, 2016

NBA 2K17 continues the tradition by delivering a more refined version of the best basketball simulator out there. With increased options in ball control, a better (but not so great) story, and a ton of customization options, NBA 2K17 is a blast to play even if it is set back by sluggish online connectivity issues.

7.5 / 10.0 - FIFA 17
Sep 24, 2016

EA tried to make FIFA 17 feel new and while it succeeded in some areas, it failed in others. Certain modes in the game have been given a new sense of purpose and direction with the formation of the campaign and the graphics look better than ever thanks to the Frostbite engine, yet the gameplay experience does not yet feel real enough.

5 / 10.0 - Assetto Corsa
Sep 25, 2016

Assetto Corsa is a perfect example of ambition. Kunos Simulazioni is not a very big studio but that didn't stop them from working hard to release a simulation game that can compete against existing series. Yet the studio fell short of delivering the expected and necessary standard to pose any real threat to other driving simulation games out there.

9.5 / 10.0 - Forza Horizon 3

Forza Horizon 3 is a masterpiece among open world racing games, a complete victory.

Hitman’s latest Colorado mission is quite a change up from the traditional classy missions seen earlier, but the new formula does not exactly work for 47. While the emphasis is on maximum stealth, there will be times where you just give up and shoot everyone.

5.5 / 10.0 - Mafia 3
Oct 22, 2016

Mafia 3 has one of the best stories we've seen between the video games that released this year. However it suffers greatly from a repetitive gameplay experience, mediocre mechanics, and bad visuals. It's stellar story is not enough to make up for how disappointing everything else is.

9.5 / 10.0 - Battlefield 1
Oct 25, 2016

EA and DICE have managed to present a new installment in an annual series that stands out from its predecessors in every possible way. The story is more human, the visuals are breathtaking, the multiplayer modes are varies, and the maps are terrific. Battlefield 1 presents the tragic events of World War I beautifully in a way that respects the realness of the tragedy, which is what makes it special.

World of Final Fantasy is a charming turn-based RPG filled with familiar characters, settings, and music to make any fan of the series happy. While it's adorable setting, interesting story, and new combat mechanics provide hours of fun, it eventually becomes tediously repetitive and the fights become monotonous. Even creating and customizing stacks loses its luster when you start resorting to familiar "tried and tested" combinations. The game could have definitely benefited from a much shorter campaign.

8.5 / 10.0 - Titanfall 2
Nov 2, 2016

Respawn has given us a lot of the elements we wanted to see in Titanfall 2 from an excellent campaign, to diverse multiplayer modes, to varied Titan types, all while keeping the soul and excitement and speed that we have come to know and love from the series. However, the game released at a really unfortunate time that resulted in almost barren multiplayer matches and long matchmaking waits.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has been getting a lot of unnecessary bad rep on the Internet. Even though the story isn’t perfect and the multiplayer is facing some technical issues, I absolutely loved the sci-fi additions, the fun gameplay, the third act of the campaign, and the silly zombie mode. However, it does not bring anything especially innovative to the shooter genre. It’s a good Call of Duty title and that’s about it.

9 / 10.0 - Dishonored 2
Nov 13, 2016

Dishonored 2 is a fantastic journey that takes you across different cities in the empire to take down Delilah’s allies and reclaim your throne. It’s much more challenging than the first game but also much more flexible. Playing as Emily and Corvo gives you multiple powers to experiment with and ways to traverse the maps and you can play it over and over again to find new secrets and without getting bored. However, while playing as Corvo, the game and the story will feel very similar to the first game and it’s much less exciting than playing as Emily.

Hitman Episode 6 Hokkaido is a great ending to a series that started losing its touch a few missions down the line. A well detailed map with a very secret agent feel, and new challenges making the mission quite different are some of the few factors that make this episode one of the best of the series.
