IGN's Reviews
One Piece: Romance Dawn is an attempt to fit a vast amount of story into a concise RPG, but the result is flimsy and underdeveloped. The turn-based battle is fun in a very average way, and the rest of the experience tempted me to put down my 3DS and just watch the One Piece anime instead. It’s not a complete disaster by any means, but it doesn’t make a lot of sense to play a condensed version when the source material is readily available.
Don't sleep on Hearthstone - it gets almost everything right. It's fun, flashy, and totally playable for free.
Yoshi’s New Island’s inconsistent art and tacked-on new ideas are all layered on top of the same strong platforming and level design that made the original great. This deep understanding of pacing and flow helps Yoshi’s latest adventure stand out as the best iteration on Yoshi since the SNES original. Even if I wanted to play with the sound turned off.
Titanfall excels at making every moment and every action a fun one. It is a breath of fresh multiplayer FPS air.
Basement Crawl is a limp, poorly presented, and broken Bomberman clone, and easily the worst PS4 game to date.
The Walking Dead: Season 2, Episode 2 "A House Divided" is one of the best episodes @TelltaleGames has ever made.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone lead the way on the South Park video game we've always wanted.
Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare does right by its namesake, putting the characters and charm to good use.
Thief has good stealth going for it, but everything connecting its few relatively open scenarios is a mess.
A shallow, on-rails experience that really can't make much of a case for itself in 2014.
New city-builder Banished is the most fun you'll have simulating famine all year.
Strider is an unbalanced yet extremely stylish platformer, and the series' best game since the original.
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is a fun and challenging platformer that isn't afraid to make you work hard.
League of Legends is an amazing and intense MOBA with great depth, tons of character, and a huge community.
The LEGO Movie Videogame's diverse backdrops and heroes devolve into tedium and busywork.
Strike Vector is gorgeous shooter with strong mechanics and lots of customisation, but it's tough to get into.
The first half of Jazzpunk is a non-stop deluge of gags and entertaining minigames, but it can't keep up that pace.
A a grim, unsatisfying and morally dubious exercise in frustration and empathy suppression.
Unepic is a funny, unrelenting homage to classic adventure games and RPGs despite some holdover shortcomings.
The Wolf Among Us Episode 2: Smoke and Mirrors is a great second act to Telltale's adventure noir.
