IGN's Reviews
Assassin's Creed Unity is a gorgeous and entertaining game of impossible peaks and disappointing valleys.
Better menu layouts, countless new options and improved match-day features see FM2015 remain in title-winning form.
Despite MP troubles, Halo: The Master Chief Collection's classic campaigns are amazing examples of FPS done right.
Advanced Warfare is faster and more focused than any Call of Duty before it.
Costume Quest 2 improves on the first's combat and funny campaign, but the health and navigation systems need a revamp.
Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse succeeds by building a funny, gorgeous world around its tried and true Metroidvania gameplay. In the brief moments when the combat becomes exhausting, it’s the writing, in all its self-referential and juvenile glory, and its visual splendor that keep the pace going. Though it’s an unmistakable tribute to Metroid and Castlevania, infusing a sharp wit and bold style helps Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse stand above its retro-inspired contemporaries.
Don't let the improved looks fool you – NBA Live 15's good ideas are all stifled by poor gameplay fundamentals.
Lords of the Fallen has fun combat and a good spin on Dark Souls' skill system, but its hero is overpowered.
Sunset Overdrive provides some of the most fun, frantic, and fantastic gaming I've had on the Xbox One.
Silly weapons and invisible opponents put a fresh twist on Screencheat's old-school approach to multiplayer shooting.
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers - 20th Anniversary Edition authentically pays homage to its classic predecessor.
Some of its new ideas work better than others, but Civilization: Beyond Earth retains its addictive 4X qualities.
What a disappointment. Even with a reputable developer behind it, The Legend of Korra game left us bent out of shape.
Fantasia: Music Evolved pairs conducting with music customization to create a fun, unique music game.
The Legend of Grimrock 2 is an RPG that's as much Myst as D&D, and benefits from the strengths of both.
Superb gameplay, a breakneck pace and terrifying enemies makes The Evil Within a wonderful survival horror experience.
With its unfair gameplay and messy combat, Natural Doctrine is nothing more than a tedious, rage-inducing nightmare.
Styx gets its hardcore stealth right, but its controls and platform elements fall short.
Defense Grid 2 is just as addictive as 2008's Defense Grid: Awakening, but lacks the original's surprising heart.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel successfully builds on the series' many strengths while repeating its pacing mistakes.
