IGN's Reviews
Tomodachi Life offers a great kind of humor: it's just fun to laugh at yourself and your friends in absurd situations. Nintendo gets a lot out of mileage out of this Sims-like concept, but still manages to find ways to make it simple, accessible, and entertaining. The stiff, robotic voices could use improvement, but the effect of hearing the Miis speak is still novel in it's own way. The easy-breezy pace makes it ideal for short bursts of play, and it leaves me eager to check in on my town early and often.
Among The Sleep is a poignant horror adventure more interested in the nature of trauma than scare tactics.
Murdered: Soul Suspect has a lot of great ideas, but none of them come together in a satisfying way.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II has some launch issues, but it's a respectable and funny action RPG.
It's a tropical vacation, always pleasant and relaxing… and one that you're always ready to leave behind.
Watch Dogs is an excellent open-world action game with some unique hacking-magic that makes it a memorable experience.
The Wolf Among Us Episode 4's lack of meaningful choices and scant story progression mark a low point in the series.
Transistor is a wildly smart action-RPG that places all of its trust into your intelligence.

Infused with a novel concept, Super Time Force is both fun and frustrating.
In Harm's Way is another excellent episode of @TelltaleGames' The Walking Dead with superb character moments.
While parts of Bound By Flame are messy, its combat is strong enough to keep the fire stoked.
Titan Attacks is an enjoyable ode to Space Invaders, and a good way to waste some time on PS3, PS4, and Vita.
Outlast: Whistleblower's hellish adventure is still scary, but relies too heavily on the same old tricks.
Tex Murphy's latest weaves campy live action, silly puns, and convoluted mysteries into a fun, if dated adventure.
Sir, You Are Being Hunted is a dynamic and atmospheric stealth game that'll kill you politely.
It's super-fun to swing around New York City in The Amazing Spider-Man 2! Everything else, on the other hand...
Daylight's horror atmosphere starts strong, but repetitive corridors and nonthreatening enemies squander it quickly.
