IGN's Reviews
Kirby Triple Deluxe may look great and has some clever ideas for how to use 3D, but falls into a rut of simple platforming and puzzles that rarely require any thought or skill. I admire that it tries to give us more powers and abilities to play with than ever before, but that empowerment shouldn't come at the expense of any real difficulty.
You don't have to be a hardcore golf fan to get hooked on Mario Golf: World Tour. It rewards good play, gives plenty to do, and is a great teacher. Its incremental approach to challenge kept me coming back to test myself, and the post-game challenges and multiplayer modes inspired me to play in new ways even after I thought I was a pro.
Revisiting retro games in NES Remix 2 is a fun way to revisit the classics, or introduce them to someone new.
Ether One dives into a world of dementia and returns in stylish, if bittersweet, triumph.
Trials Fusion's precision controls and exacting challenge make it a great pickup for leaderboard perfectionists.
A fun and charming extension of the film that nevertheless suffers from some disjointed story problems and some sameness of characters.
Halfway through the first season of A Wolf Among Us, A Crooked Mile represents a new high point in the story.
Kinect Sports Rivals isn't a knock out, but it does enough well that I'm excited for Kinect's future.
Dead Nation brings Housemarque's acclaimed PS3 game to PlayStation 4. And it's as fun -- and difficult -- as ever.
Betrayer's gorgeous presentation can't save it from being a first-person shooter with an identity crisis.
Age of Wonders 3 does the little things right, but struggles on a larger scale.
Goat Simulator is a clever piece of interactive satire powered by hilarious ragdoll physics and its embracing of bugs.
A new perspective on familiar game design can make everything feel fresh, and Smite doesn't stop there.
Reaper of Souls is sinister-looking, sports great variety, and delivers all the looting and slaying Diablo fans want.
Towerfall's fun multiplayer sets up hilarious face-offs with your friends.
BioShock Infinite's final DLC brings brilliant closure to both Rapture and Columbia.
We didn't ask for this. Deus Ex: The Fall on PC is an awful repackaging of a respectable mobile game.
This unique crossover is a powerful draw for fans of either series, but it doesn’t make the most of its potential. It sacrifices some of both series’ challenge, and the alternate-universe story feels like a missed opportunity where there could have been more meaningful interaction between the worlds of Wright and Layton. The witty dialogue writing, however, is as charming and enjoyable as ever.
Second Son is a departure in tone for the Infamous series, but its superpowered action lives up to expectations.
While short, a Metal Gear game has never looked or played as good as Ground Zeroes. Bring on The Phantom Pain.
