IGN Korea's Reviews
'One step from Eden' delivers fast paced action with various spells and artifacts which could be customized into a personal deck of arsenal. The customization experience is a fresh turn of its genre but it won't be easy to absorb all the multiple aspects of the situations given to the player. Once you're adapted to the intended play style, continous challenges await to provide consistent fun and activities.

The most affordable fighting game on the Nintendo Switch, yet it only provides typical modes to play against the AI and no online multiplayer mode in sight, Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe fails to deliver the value for the fighting game fans to even think about purchasing this game. Surprisingly, the battle mechanics are very polished and learning the combo mechanics can be a fun challenge for those who seek complex and accurate executions required in flashy combos. But in the end, will that be satisfying enough?

Bleeding Edge has the typical multiplayer fun that's built-in by default. Wide range of playable characters allow the gamers to spend plenty of time in theory-crafting their strategies. On the other hand, the depth of the lore doesn't really attach those characters to the back story as much. While the game relies on gathering with other players to battle, it's also the only content worth mentioning as many of the other aspects lack in standing out.

The game has an innteresting mix of genres which involves aqua motorsports and shooting action. Kandagawa Jet Girls tries to push this unbalanced mixture all while allowing the gamers to fully customize their characters and their 'Jets' till their hearts desire. Variety of different modes somewhat allows this overwhelming experiment into a bucket of creative ideas, which at least provides some much needed gameplay hours.

The game brings in sympathy and much needed feels for both cat owners and cat lovers alike. It has a great mix of mechanics to play through the story and contents that the players will agree on some common grounds that a stray kitten must endure in its everyday life. Emotions will pass through the players' hearts while playing through 'A Street Cat's Tale'

Among many great metrovania-like titles, Ori and the Will of the Wisps has fulfilled all the expectations what may go beyond the current trends from other similar titles. The most up-to-date style of gameplay, visuals, soundtrack, countless amount of collectibles and exploration routes are all ready to be unveiled. It has all the positive aspects from many metrovania-like titles but nothing that stands out as its own unique mechanics. Despite the lack of something new, its atmosphere and experience is a great new addition to be added to the genre.

The developers of Overpass have put in massive efforts to make the game's value as high as a Triple-A title. Unfortunately, the expectations were way too high and it didn't really fulfill the satisfactory level of implementations. There's definitely a demands for games that require you to put in endless effort and time into, but some of the game's achievements do not really justify the time you would invest into, nor provide further encouragement to continue on. At least this game is another gem in its genre due to its rarity between other similar titles. It serves as a good influence for any follow up games that are planned to be released in the 'racing game' genre family.

It’s really difficult to find a game that has the best combat system, pool of characters, story plot, visuals and audio all in the right balance. This turn based JRPG is one of the textbooks of its own genre. But we are reviewing the expansion pack here, which happens to be the same full price as its original. This clearly is the only ‘thumbs down’ of this review.

Experience the life of an artist with 'Passpartout: The Starving Artist'. It's a wonderful feeling to be allowed to draw your own creations using the touch screen of the Nintendo Switch.

It's certainly going to be a long and tricky climb of proficiency to be able to play mind-games with a human opponent, the combo system has been simplified and has enough single player content to allow new comers to the fighting game genre to enjoy this title. The tutorial actually teaches the basic fundamentals of a 2D fighting game and some insights on what the opponents may think and react to your certain actions. It is a good entry level fighting game which will also help you transition into understanding and playing other fighting game titles.

'Street Fighter V: Champion Edition' has implemented another layer of depth in strategy with the addition of V-Skill 2 and 4 years of continued adjustments in character balancing. Variety of single player contents and other Customizations from the original title had all carried over and it still reigns as the only unique fighting game title to allow cross-platform online multiplayer.

High quality, high speed action. Moderate storyline but senstational soundtrack. There were concerns of a scare factor if the title implemented something totally new, but thankfully, it delivered 'what Ys is known for'. The only complaint - if we were to be picky - would be the standard looking graphics.

Code Shifter is a simple action genre which has some cameo appearance from other ArcSystem Works characters. If you're not sure of the original source of the game, it will take some time to absord all the insider quotes. Prepare for some utter confusion if you play this without much preparation.

If you have the guts to play through some dark and intense story of a distopia, it's got some substantial value as a DRPG genre. If you're into the characters and voice actors of Kei Nanameda, it will be a bonus. The game doesn't really cater for convenience so if you can withstand some challenging mechanics, it's definitely worth a try.

As the name suggests, 'Kunai' is a wire-action game using the item of the same name. Fast-paced movement, crazy explosives, spectacular combat system are all in the right balance for the gamer to carry on the thrill until the end. While it's described as another Metro-Vania type of genre, the action packed gameplay is as close to be an action genre, without the boring character leveling process. Various boss-fights, storyline and the pixel art style adds up as a positive value to the game.

The game's configuration remains the same as its original title release of 23 years ago and also keeps the same vibe and atmosphere along with higher resolution and FHD quality visuals. Definitely worth a play with a touch of sentimental value.

The decision to reinstate the entire combat system was not a bad choice. It's still questionable whether if the title can withhold the genre of a true RPG - due to its simplicity and lack of dynamic strategy in comparison to those existing ones - loyal fans of Yakuza series will still be able to accept this change without much denial. The best thing about this title is the fullness of both the main and sub storylines with plenty of drama and surprises to entertain the gamers. This was actually a boost in value in comparison to the previous series. Yakuza: Like a Dragon can be a game which can be proudly suggested to your friends and those who never played any of its predecessors.

Bookbound Brigade has a unique lore which includes some sense of humor which originates from Italy. To understand the full context of the story, gamers may require to go through each of the character backgrounds but the overall layout of the game allows new players to progress without having to concern about having to study the lore.

The gameplay feels a bit old-school, but it keeps the exclusive aspect of a 'mass scale' action genre which will occupy your precisions in control.
