IGN Korea's Reviews
While it may feel unfamiliar or even alienating to those expecting something in line with the Extreme series or the mainline Dead or Alive games, Venus Vacation PRISM is a title that may satisfy fans of the Venus Vacation series—especially those who prioritize communication and interaction with the characters. The graphics, built on a new engine, are undeniably beautiful, though they carry a subtle sense of disconnect. Although the current lack of content is unfortunate, there's hope that future updates might eventually enrich the experience.

AI LIMIT carves out its identity as an action RPG by focusing on rhythm and timing. Its parry-centric combat delivers a rewarding sense of precision, though limited strategic variety can lead to fatigue over time. While rough around the edges, the game showcases a bold and distinctive vision.

Jack Jeanne goes beyond the conventions of a typical romance simulation, focusing instead on the protagonist and their companions’ journey of growth as they strive for the stage. Through the in-game performances, character emotions deepen, and the contrast between reality and the theater enhances immersion. The full-voice acting brings life to the intersection of role and self, heightening the emotional impact. While the game requires strategic stat-building and repetitive rhythm gameplay, the payoff—witnessing the characters’ development and the final performance—leaves a lasting impression. For players seeking a narrative centered on personal growth rather than just romance, Jack Jeanne offers a truly unique experience.

Metal Suits: Counter Attack is a side-scrolling platformer shooter where players take control of a battle-hardened hero seeking revenge against the alien invaders who destroyed his life. The game makes smart use of various suits, each adding a unique flavor to combat, while maintaining a focused, action-driven experience. At first glance, its gameplay might seem simple, but the stage design tells a different story. Levels are crafted with care and complexity, offering a satisfying challenge without feeling unfair or overly punishing. Like many games in this genre, there are moments when traps and stage gimmicks can feel a bit brutal or even absurd—but Metal Suits strikes a fine balance, never becoming frustrating or overwhelming. It’s accessible without being too easy, and that’s no small feat. One minor gripe is that the suits, while offering different weapons, don’t come with unique movement or special actions, which could have added an extra layer of strategic variety. Still, Metal Suits delivers a fun, well-executed platforming experience that fans of the genre will surely enjoy.

While the game's optimization for PC, graphical quality, and overall polish as a competitive fighting game are top-notch, it's disappointing that it offers little support for newcomers despite its high entry barrier, and the lack of substantial single-player content is a significant drawback.

Rage of the Dragons NEO sets itself apart with its distinctive combat system and strategic use of walls, allowing players to fully enjoy the game both online and offline. Those already familiar with fighting games will appreciate its accessible combo system and intuitive controls, making it easy to pick up. However, the game lacks sufficient accommodations for beginners, which may make it challenging for players unfamiliar with the genre. While it may not have the same level of recognition as major fighting games, its historical significance as the first Neo Geo fighting game developed in South America, combined with its solid gameplay mechanics, makes it a title well worth experiencing for fighting game enthusiasts.

The general intention of the development was to focus on easier difficulty, even if you never played platformers. So when players expect an easy and average game, they will be positively surprised by how thoughtful the experience would be. The intensity of details in the DualSense's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers allow some of the most dynamic gaming experiences ever. The players will be in for a ride for the 30 plus years of PlayStation titles and the console legacy, which were naturally blended within its gameplay.

A typical 2D side-scrolling action game, but the unique mechanism kicks in when you become tougher and stronger as you die during progression. You’re in an underworld full of dreamy color themes. You start off as an ordinary cat, dodging traps and enemies but if you accidentally lose a life, the cat will gradually get stronger with supernatural powers and be able to attack and play aggressively. From here the player has to weigh the balance between sacrificing life to gain powers or the ordeals of responsibility by getting resurrected each time you make a mistake. The entire playtime is quite short and the boss battles may feel repetitive, but it allows players to take a unique path on approaching every combat strategy differently based on your attained skill level as you proceed towards tougher boss fights.

Ever wondered what the everyday ‘normal’ life would be of the Spy x Family characters? This game is basically the scratch of that itch brewed into a video game for the loyal fans of its anime series. Surely, many fans could, and may have been curious about the day of a life of the protagonist and her family. While the game’s narrative may not be canon, the surprises and expectations through the perspective of Anya is truly an exceptional experience that you would have never felt through the original animated series.

Another arcade favorite to enjoy at the comfort of your living room. With its wardrobe change to modern graphics, evolved music and audio based on the classic chip-tunes, the classic gameplay kept for over 40 years has gone through some adjustments with added battle royale mechanics. The change is understandable, but there hasn’t been any competitive edge where you could see a creative comeback, with players trying to focus on survival rather than strate

The 3 major elements of the game revolve around the battle mechanics which you’d be very familiar with if you're an avid gamer. As a deck building, roguelike genre, players are meant to explore the possibilities of different combinations but somehow the variations can get old quite quickly thank you’d think. Thankfully, the straightforward guidelines and combinations are easy to understand, making some of the players who might be new to the genre, easily experience some of the creativity it would bring to the table.
