IGN's Reviews
Story of Seasons' kept me occupied for well over 30 hours, and even then I could have kept playing until the cows came home. It took awhile for the interesting options for running my farm and business to open up, but the mix of strategy and good old-fashioned simulation made it all worthwhile. It may not have the prestigious Harvest Moon name, but Story of Seasons is definitely the bees' knees.
Broken Age: Act 2 is an amazing adventure filled with great writing and fantastic puzzles.
The Consequence falls short of greatness, but chills with gruesome bosses and spectacular environments.
State of Decay's unique gameplay remains intact on Xbox One, as does its jankyness. Nevertheless, don't miss YOSE.
An inspired rhythm-action roguelike powered by an excellent soundtrack. You'll dig it.
Dungeons 2 tries to revitalize dungeon management games...and falls on its face in the process.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China does a lot of the hard stuff well, but can't convey the rush of being an assassin.
StarDrive 2's ship building is top notch, but the flawed game surrounding it keeps it from ever truly shining.
Predictably, GTA 5 remains a masterpiece of a game. Surprisingly, the PC version is technically excellent.
Great new characters, and sharper gameplay hooks make Mortal Kombat X the best game in the series.
Titan Souls' creative fights and fluid controls make for intensely satisfying and rewarding one-hit-kill combat.
Turning the simple act of making toast into a Herculean task, I Am Bread is as vexing as it is irresistible.
MLB 15: The Show is an excellent, complete package, but there are no game-changing new features this year.
RBI Baseball 15 slightly improves on RBI 14's biggest faults, but game-breaking bugs make us want to charge the mound.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D shrinks an epic RPG into a nifty portable form. Even though the New 3DS' speedier hardware can't make it look quite as good as it does on the Wii, its scope and scale still make it an impressive and deep game that's well suited for play on the go.
A good intro to Forza Horizon 2's driving action but one that doesn't offer much for long-time Forza fans.
Axiom Verge isn't a perfect homage to Metroid, but we still enjoyed our time in this strange, familiar world.
Tough gameplay and a beautiful new terrain balances out over-familiar questing in this worthwhile adventure.
Obsidian (and its Kickstarter backers) have done it: Pillars of Eternity is one of the best RPGs since Baldur's Gate.
Early excitement and newfound purpose puts Telltale's Game of Thrones back on track in Episode 3.
