IGN's Reviews
Phantom: Covert Ops takes itself way too seriously and it stealth is basic and reliant on virtually blind enemies, but infiltrating an enemy base with a murder canoe in VR does have its bright spots.
The console versions of Assetto Corsa Competizione are capable of great racing, but they're also riddled with problems.
Fun, novel, and brimming with loot, Bounty of Blood: A Fistful of Redemption is the best of Borderlands 3's DLC batch so far.
As Pokémon's first-ever DLC, The Isle of Armor is an entertaining but shallow return to the Galar region.
SpongeBob: SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated sinks under its reverence to nostalgia.
Waking tries to take the best of many different genres but creates a horrible mess of clashing, ugly parts.
The Last of Us Part 2 is a masterpiece that evolves the gameplay, cinematic storytelling, and rich world design of the original in nearly every way.
Desperados 3 is a Western that's as wily as it is wild, and well-suited to anyone after a serious stealth challenge.
Disintegration's single-player campaign has some novel ideas and its robot enemies die well, but it never achieves any tactical depth.
Valorant is a clever tactical hero shooter that's plenty deep, and a lot of fun to master.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor offers a nostalgic return to the northwestern corner of Skyrim, but its formulaic story isn't as compelling.
There's not enough meat on Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath's bones to feel like a full expansion, but two of its three new characters are excellent and the brief campaign is fun while it lasts.
Psychological horror game Those Who Remain features jump scares with a few too many jagged edges.
The new Future Connected story chapter isn’t particularly inspired, but the impressive graphical overhaul and welcome (if small) quality-of-life improvements make this the best version of Xenoblade Chronicles we’ve ever had.
Crucible's every-man-for-himself combat and tedious respawn process make this team-based shooter a slog.
Maneater's monster-shark feeding frenzy is fun but simple, and that lack of depth causes it to become repetitive as time goes on.
Simple and fun to play, Minecraft Dungeons is a good entry-level dungeon crawler, but it doesn't dig too deep.
The "Saints Row The Third" part of Saints Row The Third Remastered is good. The "Remastered" part...not as much.
Overwatch is a masterpiece. A dizzying amalgam of unique characters, stunning style, and compellingly dynamic action.
Phantasy Star Online 2 is a great combat system wrapped up in a bloated and sometimes confusing MMO-lite package that uses its charming anime flair to stand out from the competition.
