IGN's Reviews
The Escapists makes breaking out of prison as hard as nails, yet soft as taffy.
Total War: Attila is an adept refinement of Rome 2, with a great, harrowing campaign that sets it apart.
It's a shame that more significant improvements weren't made to Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered, since playing both sides of a murder conspiracy is still such an interesting concept that's not often done right. However, the frantic button prompts, still-stupid stealth, and newly-introduced glitches make this Remaster way too unrefined.
Tactically deep, and bursting with character, Evolve offers a level of nuance rarely found in multiplayer shooters.
Just when you think the fight is over in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, the next challenger steps in and ups the level of competition for another satisfying round of combat and loot. Very few games can hook me in for 100 hours, but this installment adds enough new creatures, weapons, locations, and fighting moves to expand and reinvigorate my lust for the hunt.
Grow Home's charming personality, feel-good physics, and satisfying controls make for a beautiful climbing adventure.
Gravity Ghost is a poignant and weird space adventure that's definitely more about experience than the challenge.
It looks like a game worthy of Zeus, but weak controls keep Apotheon out of the action-platformer pantheon.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D proves that interesting game design and strong world-building never get old. Even 15 years later, it still delivers charming characters, tense resource management, and a world rife with personality. Despite some cumbersome menus and a single drag of a dungeon, Majora's Mask is a great adventure that (repeatedly) stands the test of time.
Raven's Cry would be a bad pirate game even if it weren't in such a buggy, unfinished (and unfinishable) state.
The Lost Lords neglects to advance the Forresters' story in meaningful ways as it introduces new characters.
Life is Strange starts out with a problematic first episode, but there's a lot of potential in this young-adult drama.
Supreme League of Patriots' clumsy political humor overpowers its sometimes-clever superhero-themed adventuring.
High-speed parkour and gruesome zombie massacres make Dying Light a blast, even if the story's just okay.
Time has done little to diminish Grim Fandango's beauty or relevance. It is an adventure game not to be missed.
Grey Goo oozes with enjoyment for old-school
Citizens of Earth is a quirky game with its heart in the right place and its head in the clouds.
Resident Evil does a good job of updating the look and feel of a classic survival horror game for a new audience.
Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is still an enjoyable, chaotic romp on PS4 and Xbox One, but its improvements are minimal.
Blackguards 2 removes much of the chaff from the original game, but you'll still need some patience.
