IGN's Reviews
There hasn't been a guitar-based adventure as excellent as The Artful Escape since Bill met Ted.
Life is Strange: True Colors is an emotional rollercoaster that highlights everything that makes the series great.
Clid the Snail is a twin-stick shooter that's radula-deep in mediocrity. The slimy graphics and sluggish combat keep its decent story and characters from thriving outside of its shell.
Baldo is a vast action-adventure RPG that looks like it should be Zelda meets Ghibli, but it trips over its own feet at nearly every opportunity, from frequent bugs to frustrating combat.
King's Bounty 2 is a fairly strong tactical RPG that is dragged down by a mediocre plot and a lot of unnecessary jogging.
WRC 10 is another successful example of KT Racing's commitment to fantastic stage design and frantic, fast-paced, and occasionally unforgiving fun.
Maneater: Truth Quest is a conspiracy-themed expansion with a few fun ideas and lots of repetitive quests.
The new content introduced in Sonic Colors: Ultimate is unremarkable, but the base game still remains one of the best examples of how a modern Sonic game should be, even nearly 11 years later.
Superb melee combat and gravity-defying movement make Naraka: Bladepoint a clever spin on the familiar battle royale formula.
No More Heroes 3 is an amusing but extremely uneven sequel, with its entertaining bosses separated mostly by poor performance and barebones tedium.
I Expect You To Die 2 is a fabulous second stab at the spy thriller genre in VR, even if it's a bit short.
Even with a few rough edges, Psychonauts 2 is just about everything I could have hoped for from this long-awaited sequel.
Hoa is a beautiful but brief puzzle-platform adventure that's all chilling and no killing.
There's plenty of wild shootouts with swarms of xenomorphs in Aliens: Fireteam Elite, but some awkward pacing and repetitive level design prevents it from being a classic.
Madden NFL 22 takes a small and unimpressive first step into the Xbox Series X and PS5 generation, with even its better new ideas hobbled by poor execution.
Recompile is a short-lived metroidvania with a great story but forgettable platforming, puzzles, and combat.
Iki Island doesn't do much beyond just offering more Ghost of Tsushima, but the new content is extremely worthwhile, thanks to a story that dives deeper into Jin's past, a few new combat wrinkles, and plenty of secrets to discover.
Twelve Minutes injects a compelling time-loop mystery into a traditional point-and-click adventure game to create original gameplay that complements its story's curiosity factor.
Played solo or co-op, Descent: Legends of the Dark is an enjoyable, if repetitive, dungeon crawling experience.
Road 96 is a fascinating and frequently tense adventure that manages to keep its story on track despite the odd bump in the road.
