IGN Korea's Reviews
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 simple point at click interactive game to collect evidence to solve puzzles. The sound design is very precise and adaptive including the 360 degree panoramic camera angles. These immersive properties make the game’s depth much greater without needing the attention to detail facial expressions or tool tips. Whenever emotional events may occur, players will get to experience a 360 degree, full 3D immersion that other games have never showcased in the past.

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 pixel art in the game is filled with lovely designs detailing the very mechanisms of day and night cycles, weather and other beautiful visuals which tries its best to reimagine our daily lives. Players get to experience the story through the perspective of a cat in a local neighborhood, interacting with humans and other cats in town.

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.

With the core mechanics of the game focusing on individual combat and survival to outlast your opponents, there are zombies to worry about which means some co-op action as well as potential betrayal. Multiple stage gimmicks are to be abused and a decent cleverness shown by the AI enemies are not to be reckoned with. The amount of content feels a little repetitive as a party purpose game unless it’s in battle royale mode. Which is why we would highly recommend playing this game to compete with your best mates to witness all the chaos it would bring.

There are certain flaws around all aspects but all respect to the developer who has created this game solo and it’s their very first game to be published as well. No promises but it paves way for more improvements to come nonetheless. Beware that the players are bound to have their time and souls drained with inconvenient mechanics coupled with traps that give no hints or reasons whatsoever. It is a retro style platformer after all so perhaps these factors do belong to the classic genre in its own modesty. It’s definitely worth a try if you're a fan of action games.

Another great title with immersive classic JRPG roots. Players will be busy with their hearts being engulfed with a tsunami of emotions when the game’s protagonists with all differences in races, culture and relationships eventually come together as one to share an ultimate goal. Players must build cities and defend against waves of invasions which brings enough motivation to show that even heroes still need everyone’s support to grow and be strong. Truly motivating once the players understand that maintaining positive relationships with other adventurers is key to advance forward in their journey. The 2.5D-esque graphics paired with dynamic action camera work is surely eye-candy and the sound design that focuses on epic 1-on-1 duels will be music to every gamers’ ears.

Earth Defense Force 6 has a heartfelt plot of humanity to save the much devastated state of earth from invaders since its prequel. If you listen closely to your comrades’ quotes and communications, you will be drawn into the lore of reasons to become a planet defense combatant. The visuals will remind you of the retro era of gaming, frequent frame drops and out of place grotesque aliens may be a put-off to some, but the sentiments of utilizing all sorts of equipment to just fend off aliens off the planet is something to experience for.

This is an ultimate text-adventure game where the player is left to deduct clues while puzzle solving through two different dimensions. The storytelling paths crossover between character perspective and timeline. The game attempts to become its own form of emotional storytelling medium just like the classic format of literature, which were mainly restricted to paperback novels. Since video games bring in the advantage of interactivity, the developers try their best to make the modern gaming form as immersive as books have become.

The main focus of the game’s concept heavily promotes aggressiveness. So the low-risk, high-return situations have been reduced and with the addition of the Heat system, this drives players to be in reach even more, but let’s not forget that a fighting game also requires precise spacing thus making it virtually similar from its predecessor. There have been some short-cut action buttons for beginner players and plenty of content to teach the understanding of how a fighting game may be played. Of all the Tekken series in the past, this one is definitely the most beginner friendly and have designed their system in order to narrow its gap, with the hopes of keeping both the returning players as well as providing convenience to the newcomers.

In order to ensure the longevity of the game’s lifespan, they’ve focused on polishing the features that were praised for, all while implementing the highly anticipated rollback netcode and crossplay functionality. The launch of their free edition was well handled as well as the party mode gameplay which settles their unique position amongst other fighting games

With cute and affectionate visuals and a casual friendly character building system, some of the classic RPG meta such as inconvenient item combinations and bland turn based combat were at least given a polished look with specific tutorials and 3D artistic designs. With plenty of eye candy elements, the immersion during gameplay is also pleasantly rewarding.

Even without any pre-knowledge of this series, everyone can enjoy the combat, action and stories between a master and their servant during the feudal society of the Edo era of Japan. Although the combat becomes quite repetitive while the protagonists develop stronger when the enemies somewhat never seem to learn their lessons, if you’ve heard of this series before, the game’s definitely worth a shot.

One of the developer interviews mentioned something about implementing a Souls-like element to the game, which was a bit of a concern. Once the game was released, it kept the classic taste of Ys, all while adding creative cinematics thus if you’re once a fan, this game won’t disappoint. Classic ARPG masterpiece as Ys would be, we recommend everyone to give it a try.

This is a story of love and despair filled with magnificent special effects and wonderful jazz music. It offers some basic puzzles as you progress, but way too simple that you might question whether this is a video game or not. The underwhelming curtain call doesn’t seem to support this question either. But one thing for sure, the scenes and music you experience will vividly remain in your mind for a long time even after your journey’s end.

The puzzle elements of Colorgrid focuses on using the primary colors to mix and match with squares of dfferent property within a grid-like layout. With its straightforward UI, the 70 different stages felt unique to each other and felt encouraging to uncover more interesting stages to clear through. The key controls requiring rotation and using reflective surfaces were placed in a clever way, just enough to provide fulfillment on finding solutions to each puzzle. The game’s main structure seemed quite clever once colors required to be mixed to create new colors.

Meg’s Monster should be given some consideration if you’re into experiencing the value of a game’s story. The world is based on a structure of what everyone would agree upon the theme of an ‘infant care’. Even after a few hours of gameplay, you’ll be steadily seated with peak curiosity to see what may happen next, with a mixture of mini games and combat, and a unique mechanism of ‘not making the baby cry’ even if you’re low on health. The game will provide around 5 to 6 hours of entertainment at your leisure.
