IGN's Reviews
Neither compelling as a survival simulation nor captivating as a story-based experience, Windbound is all at sea.
If the RTS is dead, then Iron Harvest is some pretty slick necromancy. A classic single-player campaign with a strong story complements the absolute satisfaction of big, stompy mechs.
Crusader King 3 takes the throne as the new king of historical strategy by expanding on and deepening the best parts of what made its predecessor memorable and unique.
Despite the fact that Madden NFL 21 features arguably the best core gameplay the series has ever seen and the introduction of a fun, albeit novel, new mode in The Yard, the continued neglect shown to classic Franchise mode, lack of innovation across the board, and technical issues leave this gridiron mismatch coming up short.
Tell Me Why is a good story in a charming world but the choices and plot fail to enthrall.
AWE is an enjoyable few hours back in the world of the Bureau and a great first step into Remedy's Connected Universe.
Choices with major consequences, satisfying combat, and a boldly distinctive and humorous post-apocalyptic world make Wasteland 3 a memorable RPG.
Project CARS 3 is easy to pick up and play but impossible to recommend to Project CARS 2 fans.
Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is a surprisingly fleshed-out action game that should please both the Toonami faithful and those who miss a simpler time in the action genre.
Battletoads not only revives the long-dormant beat 'em up franchise, it makes it fun to play for everyone instead of only ultra-hardcore masochists. And if they made a TV show about these hilarious characters, I'd watch it.
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a puzzle game with unique ideas that takes far too long to fully implement them.
PGA Tour 2K21 delivers the most flexible and enjoyable game of golf since the Tiger Woods series was at its peak.
Mortal Shell is an extremely loyal Dark Souls homage with just enough clever new ideas to make fighting through its gorgeous world feel like something more than a rehash.
Spiritfarer's gorgeous mix of an exciting action-platformer and a touching town manager is a journey worth savoring.
Unparalleled realism and an entire planet to explore makes Microsoft Flight Simulator a simulation like no other.
Helheim Hassle is a limb-lobbing, rib-tickling puzzle-platformer that suffers slightly from overly finicky controls.
EA Sports UFC 4 is great, with an improved career mode and clinch system, though its ground game still needs work
Short, shallow, and surprisingly simple, Fast & Furious Crossroads is a disappointment in almost every department.
A Total War Saga: Troy absolutely nails its Bronze Age setting and comes up with interesting ways to make the period work in its grand strategy framework, but its AI has trouble wrapping its head around it.
A collection of exciting minigames and a burst of every colour under the rainbow makes Fall Guys a consistent delight.
