IGN's Reviews
WildStar's success is built on the shoulders of MMORPG giants, but its colorful personality sets it apart.
Shovel Knight -- in all of its old-school glory -- is arguably the best game released so far in 2014.
Valiant Hearts is an adventure more interested in exploring the effects of war, than having you re-enact the violence.
Grid Autosport promised proper motor racing and that's exactly what it delivers. The spirit of TOCA is finally back.
War Thunder soars high, even with the weight of its bloated menus holding it down.
As great as it looks, EA Sports UFC fails to capture the high stakes excitement that makes MMA such a great sport.
PS4's Entwined doesn't fully deliver on its promise. It's beautiful, but also frustrating.
1001 Spikes is nightmarishly tough but impossible to put down. It's a treat for retro fans and hardcore masochists.
Pushmo World is a fun, challenging puzzle game that only really fails in setting itself apart from the original.
Tomodachi Life offers a great kind of humor: it's just fun to laugh at yourself and your friends in absurd situations. Nintendo gets a lot out of mileage out of this Sims-like concept, but still manages to find ways to make it simple, accessible, and entertaining. The stiff, robotic voices could use improvement, but the effect of hearing the Miis speak is still novel in it's own way. The easy-breezy pace makes it ideal for short bursts of play, and it leaves me eager to check in on my town early and often.
Among The Sleep is a poignant horror adventure more interested in the nature of trauma than scare tactics.
Murdered: Soul Suspect has a lot of great ideas, but none of them come together in a satisfying way.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II has some launch issues, but it's a respectable and funny action RPG.
It's a tropical vacation, always pleasant and relaxing… and one that you're always ready to leave behind.
Watch Dogs is an excellent open-world action game with some unique hacking-magic that makes it a memorable experience.
The Wolf Among Us Episode 4's lack of meaningful choices and scant story progression mark a low point in the series.
Transistor is a wildly smart action-RPG that places all of its trust into your intelligence.
Wolfenstein: The New Order's emphasis on storytelling and characters make it a shooter worth playing.
Mario Kart 8 is a fun kart racer that uses gravity-defying tracks and better item balance to build a better game.
With its deep, varied gameplay, Sportsfriends is the most exciting local multiplayer game since Wii Sports.
