IGN's Reviews
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a fabulous looking and frantically fast anti-grav racer that gets a little repetitive thanks to its heavy reliance on repeatedly revisiting the same slim selection of planets, but has successfully lit the afterburners on a long-dormant slice of the Star Wars universe.
Minecraft Dungeons 2 is a shallow ARPG sequel that provides a few evenings of mindless dungeon delving fun, but not much beyond that.
The action in EA Sports FC 27 is enjoyable once again, but the series is still searching for the right balance between innovation and making the core game work the way it should.
A striking atmosphere isn't enough to carry End of Abyss to greater heights; a twin-stick shooter style of horror game in a metroidvania format sounds like a winning combo, but combat and exploration lose steam quickly.
I would have loved more RTS-style missions in Warcraft 3 Reforged's Forsaken Kingdom campaign expansion, but the deeper RPG mechanics and a story that fits right into the Warcraft 3 era seamlessly kept me hooked to the end.
Garfield - Escape from Monday is a passable 3D platformer dragged down by its relentless self-deprecating humor and sluggish platforming.
Like the intravenous needle permanently jutting out of its hero’s wrist, Silent Hill: Townfall gives this long running series a welcome shot in the arm.
Even when combat's sharp edge eventually dulls, Control Resonant is a great addition to the Remedyverse. While its story follows a more standard framework, its gravitational pull is in the inventive world built around it and the humanization that grounds the paranatural intrigue.
With unmemorable tracks and maps that completely lack the sense of scale we get in the life-sized, real-world environments of the Unleashed games, Hot Wheels Infinite Rush has sadly shed a ton of the series' special charm.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave provides an excellent pairing of combat strategy and management, with compelling stories spread across each of its four heroes that come together to form one phenomenal RPG.
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter captures everything that made the original so endearing while giving it an impressive makeover that enhances its elegant storytelling and charismatic cast.
Marvel's Wolverine's slick and satisfying combat wears thin well before its conclusion, so much so that even its strong character work can't quite save it from being anything more than okay.
Fireteam Elite 2 doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but blasting Xenos and synths is a good time with friends, and there is a lot of blasting to be done.
Valheim is the oath of the ultimate survival crafting adventure fulfilled, with a gorgeous art style, deadly dungeons, charming homesteading mechanics, and a breathtaking scope.
The handful of changes in NHL 27 are mostly welcome – nothing is worse than last year, but very little is better either.
NBA 2K27 is like every story of wasted potential in the league: full of what ifs and if onlys, with poorly developed talent in the form of disappointing features and modes.
While Orbitals loses some momentum toward the end, it's a strong co-op adventure that nails the feeling of a playable ‘90s anime.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is an impressive, bloody cocktail of interesting ideas and well-written characters, making it one of this year’s best open-world RPGs.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is an incredible action game with an excellent story to match.
Gallipoli is the WW1 series at its best, managing capturing a feeling of realism and fun simultaneously.
