IGN's Reviews
Now THIS is how you remake a classic. Resident Evil 2 expertly reanimates the horrifying atmosphere and moments of extreme tension that made the original so revered.
Onimusha: Warlords is exactly how you remember it, and in 2019, that's not necessarily a good thing.
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes has Suda51's eccentric charm, but the repetitive hack and slash gameplay doesn't feel nearly as great as previous entries in the series.
Ace Combat 7: Unknown Skies doesn't do a lot ot update its classic arcade-style dogfighting, but it does look great and its gameplay holds up for the most part.
Legacy of the First Blade's second episode, Shadow Heritage, is a familiar but engaging next chapter of Odyssey.
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is an enjoyable re-release, but doesn't stand quite as tall next to modern platformers.
Last Year: The Nightmare is among the best the asymmetrical survival-horror genre has to offer so far. While it's light on content and has some severe bugs, the rewarding class-based gameplay and great killer diversity makes each match feel slightly different and equally exciting.
Insurgency: Sandstorm isn't the prettiest shooter of 2018, but the places where it excels are the places that matter most. Its gunplay is superb, its arsenal is exemplary, and the maps and modes are serviceable enough to facilitate its memorably frantic and immersive FPS combat.
Forza Horizon 4: Fortune Island is a great expansion with some of the best stretches of road in the series to date.

A satisfying end to a three-part story that had a couple swings and misses.
Artifact is a challenging, deep, and surprisingly approachable card game.
Below is a gorgeous, atmospheric dungeon crawler that is difficult to take in at the pace it deserves because of oppressive survival mechanics.
Gris's beautiful exterior hides a simple, at times confusing, platformer.
Reroll gives a whole new generation the chance to experience this wonderful Japanese fever dream.
Ashen's handful of new ideas make it a stellar Souls-like with solid combat, a great art style, and an interesting world.
Destiny 2's Black Armory DLC finally adds matchmaking, but its repetitive missions and bland gear mean it has little else to offer.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Smash Bros. done right, and done bigger than ever before.
In changing the interplay between stealth and combat, Mutant Year Zero spins an interesting and intense new perspective on turn-based tactics that pushes you to get the most out of every move you make.
Legacy of the First Blade's first episode, Hunted, is a brief but effective foundation for a larger story yet to come.
