IGN's Reviews
PES returns to the Premier League in its best iteration in years.
Generic and unpolished, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric falls well below our already-low expectations.
Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal attempts to inject puzzle-solving and heavy exploration into the classic Sonic formula, and the result is a mess of gameplay styles that never feel comfortable with each other. Running one minute and clumsily searching for required hidden items the next is awkward and unrewarding, and being forced to retread the same level several times before unlocking the next is a bore. With a heaping helping of poorly written and unskippable cutscenes, Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal is a slog that never finds its footing.
Warlords of Draenor is a triumphant return to form for World of Warcraft
Judged on its own, Dreamfall Chapters - Book One: Reborn falls flat, and will confuse series newcomers.
Dungeon of the Endless combines many games, but emerges as something entirely its own.
Dragon Age: Inquisition doesn't spin a great tale, but it brings the series closer to its roots with deep RPG systems.
Assassin's Creed Unity is a gorgeous and entertaining game of impossible peaks and disappointing valleys.
Better menu layouts, countless new options and improved match-day features see FM2015 remain in title-winning form.
Despite MP troubles, Halo: The Master Chief Collection's classic campaigns are amazing examples of FPS done right.
Advanced Warfare is faster and more focused than any Call of Duty before it.
Costume Quest 2 improves on the first's combat and funny campaign, but the health and navigation systems need a revamp.
Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse succeeds by building a funny, gorgeous world around its tried and true Metroidvania gameplay. In the brief moments when the combat becomes exhausting, it’s the writing, in all its self-referential and juvenile glory, and its visual splendor that keep the pace going. Though it’s an unmistakable tribute to Metroid and Castlevania, infusing a sharp wit and bold style helps Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse stand above its retro-inspired contemporaries.
Don't let the improved looks fool you – NBA Live 15's good ideas are all stifled by poor gameplay fundamentals.
Lords of the Fallen has fun combat and a good spin on Dark Souls' skill system, but its hero is overpowered.
Sunset Overdrive provides some of the most fun, frantic, and fantastic gaming I've had on the Xbox One.
Silly weapons and invisible opponents put a fresh twist on Screencheat's old-school approach to multiplayer shooting.
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers - 20th Anniversary Edition authentically pays homage to its classic predecessor.
Some of its new ideas work better than others, but Civilization: Beyond Earth retains its addictive 4X qualities.
What a disappointment. Even with a reputable developer behind it, The Legend of Korra game left us bent out of shape.
