IGN Korea's Reviews
The series tradition of scavenging for items and conjuring materials and tools with alchemy has become far more ideal and enjoyable. The plot however, felt like a quick patch up of leftover question marks from the prequel. As a fan, It still packs a wholesome gameplay experience, as you get to discover what happened to all the characters in the 3 years since the first adventure.

Yumeutsutsu Re:Master elevates the typical Yuri genre dating-sim with its unique plot as the game’s universe becomes more acceptable and normalizes the relationship among female identities. If this fictional novel-like subject matter is to your interest – and if the so-called Girls'-love material is your thing -- then prepare to embrace what's to come after experiencing all the possible endings.

Unless you have the absolute highest-end PC, you won't yet get to experience Cyberpunk 2077 to its fullest potential. What’s more drastic is that the console versions of the game have concerning amounts of glitches, to the point where it's more appropriate to be described as an incomplete product on arrival. Of course, if these technical shenanigans weren’t an eyesore, it would have been on the level of pleasing many types of gamers out there. For now, you should probably stay away from attempting to play the console versions.

One of the best fitness related video games for those who live in the era of decreasing access to exercise. The motion controls of Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise is not always going to be perfect, but as you progress with the virtual trainer commanding, you will physically level-up at every step of this fitness adventure. The fact that you won’t have to stress too much about creating unwanted noise for your neighbors (and being able to produce the most out of the space in your bedroom) is a gigantic advantage in comparison to other physical activity games.

Of all Musou genre titles out there, this Zelda spin-off of the original The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, is not just a reskinned Mosou series but a complete package full of cutting-edge animation and strategic properties to interact with. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity leaves a mark for fans and enthusiasts of all Zelda franchises as well as those who enjoy Mosou style of mass hack and slasher action genres. There are some technical hiccups when there are too many objects and enemies, but it is well forgiven due to the highly polished level of the game as well as some of the background explanations and additional storylines to fill in the gaps of some of the question marks from BOTW. If you want to experience the full circle of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, we recommend you play BOTW to the fullest and see its ending first.

After a long 27 or so years, being able to play Zero Team on a home console via Arcade Archives is already a remarkable feat. If you lived through the era of the 90’s gaming arcades, it will most likely bring in some sentimental and reminiscent time and value once you see its intro clip, which is usually played with the flashing text of ‘Insert Coin’ message. Thankfully, the arcade port is near perfect for you and your friends and family to enjoy. Finally, the main menu and settings of Arcade Archives have continuously become polished to be considered even more user friendly.

What’s refreshing is the fact that in QV, there are minor usages of recycling of the same puzzle mechanics as you advance the stages, thus all the stage encounters feel unique and challenging. Multiple difficulty levels and unique achievements to unlock brings in replay value to the fullest. Style and artwork delivers the crisp and cool vibe from the main menu screen to the ending. This value for money puzzle game has more than enough value in this fully diverse package of contents.

An affordable game with a full character dialog dub is a rare combination, but an RPG that tried its best to bring you as much contents it can, the pricing of just under $20 and especially if you were a fan of their original game, it’s well worth the spend to explore the stories of your favorite characters. The only nitpicks would be where the game’s UI could have taken more advantage of the Nintendo Switch’s key features.

Side scrolling platformer with a mix of rhythm genre is a cool concept where you’d be familiar with each of the universes but being able to fuse them both at the same time is a breath of fresh air. Since the basis of a rhythm game forces you to follow the beat which is a bit far from freedom, it’s an adventure that’s worth giving a test drive. Sharp visuals, awesome soundtracks and the story plot are well in harmony. The volume of the contents may not be everyone’s vibe as well as the hefty pricing it chose to perform at. If you’re into completely new things, definitely give this game a go.

If you lived in the era of SNES JRPGs and truly understand the definition of how classic games were meant to be played, the detailed stories and music will at least shield you through most of the ‘stuff you had to endure’ back then.

With positive context, it’s an ‘another Assassin’s Creed game’. The visuals have definitely improved to follow suit with the latest generation of console. Can’t say that it has received any revolutionary updates since the prequel, but for the fans who were waiting for a ‘new Assassin’s Creed game’, it’s a good game that fills your satisfactory expectations nonetheless.

Another great ‘Spider-man game’ for those who know what I’m talking about. Technically, the game itself is a spin-off from the original so there aren’t too many elements that are to be deemed as improvements, but it kept all the positive technicalities and successfully debuted the new Spider-man, Miles Morales.

Necronator: Dead Wrong is a simplified real-time strategy (RTS) simulator. At first you’d think that this looks similar to a typical tower defence game. But honestly, even if you think this way, you would get your ways around playing this game. Since strategy is key, you cannot just spam the most strongest units until the end. Basic understanding of taking one step back to advance more steps is somewhat required. The downside is, once the fundamentals are mastered, most of the later stages become repetitive. Thankfully, developers are considering more playable contents so look out for those updates in the near future.

Disc Room requires the players to focus every second of the gameplay. Sometimes you’d even think that the developers want you to suffer and feel pain as if they are enjoying torturing the players because of their lack of skills. But there are still parts where they considered the wide range of players who would try an easier difficulty or apply less violent visuals. Even if you’re not a fan of the bullet-hell genre, give this game a go to. There aren’t much games out there that openly show ‘consideration’ for their players.

This is one of the best examples of ‘remastered’ versions of the classic. Even if the new look isn’t your favorite cup of tea, once you get to play the actual game, it blends in really well. It’s priced just under $10 for Nintendo Switch, which is a great value in comparison to many other reboot/classic games’ price range. Great choice for those who are hunting for some of the best value games with great gameplay.

If you’re a fan of the Ys series, this one’s a must have to get to know the past of the first initial game that started all this. There are many questionable elements which may serve as an obstacle for some of the modern gamers so you would have to be a true fan of the game as well as having the heart to play classic retro games to be able to endure most of them. At least with its affordable pricing, it’s not a bad game to play on the go.

With added defensive maneuvers to dodge or parry allows more interactions when it comes to One Chanbara Origin’s zombie slasher.. Traditionally, the game always lacks in many aspects and somehow this PS4 version of the title also didn’t disappoint. At least the improvements in character action with plenty of freedom to roam and some of the controls reward with more powerful moves when timed correctly. Thismay just be the medicine to cure most of the game’s lacking elements. Even for those who haven't experienced the original game, you’re not missing out much. Plus points for Korean subtitles and Korean voice acting.

For around $3, you get 295 courses, various game modes, multiple collectibles and plenty of replay value for you to get the best records. Simple controls which almost everyone can get into. Even within the same course, certain mechanics and gimmicks would change the strategy drastically. The downside is, since the core mechanics stay put, once you ‘get it’, the entire game can quickly be foreseen and feel obsolete.

Don’t be fooled by its cute little looks, Plebby Quest: The Crusades is actually a really well made strategy game. You may need some time to get used to if you’ve never played a strategy and planning style games but the game progressively teaches the players what to do as you play along. The theme is pretty simple looking and enjoyable for long sessions. If you’re a super serious gamer, perhaps it may not be the most seriously styled game you’re looking for.

Pretty decent content for a rhythm game. Still somewhat feels missing to be considered a proper rhythm game to be fair. Most of these thoughts can be forgiven as you get to experience many of the great tracks produced by Avicii himself. The game considers the fans whom may not have the most musical talent and has an easy average difficulty for everyone to enjoy. Based on the pricing, it’s a decent value as you get to listen to your favorite Avicii songs every time you get to play. The split screen mode is a welcoming feature if you have guests around your house.
