IGN's Reviews
While heavy on cutscenes, Valkyria Chronicles on PC is more vibrant than ever, and just as unique in its approach to tactics.
The creepy-cute dungeons of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth are amazingly different and challenging every time.
Tales from the Borderlands Episode 1 is a hilarious, fantastic start to Telltale's trip to Pandora
This War of Mine is a gripping survival sim, and a great study of survival during wartime and civil collapse.
Lego Batman 3 has loads of great DC characters and missions, but suffers from an inconsistent tone.
Persona Q is a 60-plus hour roleplaying experience that both charms and entertains. Though there were points when its puzzles completely stumped me, and the combat's steep difficulty, made me want to launch my 3DS into orbit a few times, the enjoyable battle system, deep exploration, and generous dollops of fanservice made it worth the effort.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is an amazing game with a deep roster and diverse modes to choose from.
CoH 2: Ardennes Assault is an adept interweaving of the strategic, tactical, and personal facets of warfare.
WWE 2K15 looks better and hits harder on new-gen, but some key omissions keep it from reaching the main-event.
A beautifully-designed game with a great creation toolkit, LittleBigPlanet 3 is let down by unimaginative co-op & bugs.
Escape Dead Island questions how we perceive reality, alongside questionable zombie-killing and stealth.
It's one of the best games available today.
Far Cry 4 has weak characters, but its campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer feature incredibly fun freedom.
PES returns to the Premier League in its best iteration in years.
Generic and unpolished, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric falls well below our already-low expectations.
Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal attempts to inject puzzle-solving and heavy exploration into the classic Sonic formula, and the result is a mess of gameplay styles that never feel comfortable with each other. Running one minute and clumsily searching for required hidden items the next is awkward and unrewarding, and being forced to retread the same level several times before unlocking the next is a bore. With a heaping helping of poorly written and unskippable cutscenes, Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal is a slog that never finds its footing.
Warlords of Draenor is a triumphant return to form for World of Warcraft
Judged on its own, Dreamfall Chapters - Book One: Reborn falls flat, and will confuse series newcomers.
Dungeon of the Endless combines many games, but emerges as something entirely its own.
Dragon Age: Inquisition doesn't spin a great tale, but it brings the series closer to its roots with deep RPG systems.
