IGN's Reviews
Tiny Glade is a building game so cozy it may as well be serving you buttered crumpets alongside its delightful dioramas.
Thanks to a ground-up rethinking of its ice-age city builder mechanics, Frostpunk 2's larger scale is less intimate but more socially and politically complex than the original.
The Plucky Squire is a beautiful storybook adventure filled with brilliant wordplay-packed puzzles and clever dimension-hopping mechanics, but it drags on a bit too long after it's already used up all of its best ideas.
Despite its name, Satisfactory is much more than merely adequate – its finely tuned loop of automation and escalating expansion is downright excellent.
The Persona 3 Reload DLC, Episode Aigis: The Answer, may be tedious to play at times, but in its faithful recreation are important lessons about the toughest parts of our lives, told through the lens of the series' best characters.
Enotria: The Last Song has fun combat and its sun-drenched environments are a breath of fresh air in the genre, even when the unapproachability of its RPG systems prevent it from taking center stage.
A handful of improvements mean NBA 2K25 has a few tricks up its sleeve to be pleasantly surprised by this year, even as many long-term issues continue.
Funko Fusion’s dull combat and repetitive missions means that just like your Funko Pop collection, it’s probably best left on the shelf.
The War Within is the best World of Warcraft has been on all fronts in many years, making this two-decade-old MMO feel fresh and thrilling again.
Forced online requirements, inconsistent AI difficulty, a stale car list, and chore-like progression all undermine Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown's otherwise robust driving and eye-catching open world.
When you’re flying around the pitch, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions can be a blast, but there just isn’t much off of it to keep you playing long-term.
Fortnite is the ultimate video game playground – with a rich world to explore, snappy third-person shooting, fun crossover content, and a wealth of cool side missions and objectives, it’s nearly impossible to get bored playing Epic’s definitive Battle Royale.
I Am Your Beast is a stirring, snack-sized shoot ‘em up that succeeds in spite of its simplified story and slight progression problems.
A very inventive platformer in its own right, Astro Bot is particularly special for anyone with a place in their heart for PlayStation.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 may not break the third-person shooter mold, but it looks amazing, makes good use of its Warhammer lore, and has brutal combat that just feels great.
The Casting of Frank Stone is a dull Dead by Daylight spin-off story that’s barely worth staying up past your bedtime for.
Squirrel with a Gun is a uniquely amusing sandbox game, but it’s as shallow and short-lived as its goofy premise seems.
Monster Jam Showdown is the strongest Monster Jam game to date, but it’s light on track variety and crying out for a deeper career mode and customisation.
Exciting combat, a deeply rewarding class system, and likable characters make Visions of Mana a great comeback for this classic RPG series.
