The Bunker reviewed by Leana Hafer on PC, also available on Xbox and PlayStation 4. The newest Amnesia game proves that smaller, anthology-style episodes within its universe can still bring the tension and the scares. Developer Frictional’s bag of tricks is far from exhausted when it comes to getting our hearts pounding and making us

System Shock reviewed by Jon Bolding on PC. Nightdive’s remake masterfully brings most of the aspects that haven’t aged as well into the present day, with excellent new graphics and nearly all the modern gameplay conveniences you could want. Tweaking the technical workings of Citadel space station to come out on top and foil SHODAN’s

Starship Troopers: Extermination reviewed by Jarrett Green on PC. This early access launch is pretty light on content, but it already does a decent job of pitting a large group of marines against an overwhelming force of alien bugs, and building fortifications gives you something to coordinate on as you hold out long enough for

Diablo 4 reviewed by Travis Northup on Xbox Series X|S, also available on PlayStation and PC. Blizzard’s long-awaited sequel to Diablo 3 has near perfect endgame and progression design that makes it absolutely excruciating to put down. The story is a disappointment despite still being a noticeable improvement over Diablo 3 and there are some

Reviewed by Mitchell Saltzman on PlayStation 5. Also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox, and PC. Street Fighter 6 comes out the gate swinging as the most feature-rich a Street Fighter game has ever been at launch. Boasting 18 characters, a 20+ hour single-player story mode, fantastic additions to the excellent 1-on-1 fighting formula, and a

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum reviewed by Justin Koreis on PC, also available on Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch. Why, of all the interesting characters in The Lord of the Rings lore, would anyone want to play an entire game as Gollum? Why would one trade the solid action of prior games in this universe,

Star Trek: Resurgence reviewed by Will Borger on PC, also available on PlayStation and Xbox. Resurgence does an admirable job of capturing the spirit of Star Trek in a Telltale style game. The choices are almost never easy, but the lack of a morality system or any indication of what you’re “supposed” to do creates

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun reviewed by Jon Bolding on PC. Also available on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. Boltgun impresses with Warhammer 40K chops and a fully realized vision of the famous franchise as a modern retro-shooter, light on story but heavy on action and nods to the tabletop game. The level design of its many

The handheld gaming revolution has arrived for PC gamers, and there are more options than ever to choose from to get your gaming fix on the go. The GPD Win 4 makes for an especially interesting choice, with its PS Vita-like design and hidden slide-out keyboard. It feels more like a true pocket PC than

After Us reviewed by Gabriel Moss on PlayStation 5. Also available on PS4, Xbox, and PC. After Us is difficult to recommend for its platforming alone, though its nature-focused kitsch gives way to gorgeous visuals as you breathe life back into its post-apocalyptic world. Some of its levels left a grin on my face, whereas

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny reviewed by Siddhant Adlakha. Opens in theaters on June 30, 2023. By yanking Indiana Jones out of retirement yet again, for a fifth (and hopefully final) movie, Disney proves that some things should be allowed to end. Or, at the very least, it proves that a franchise resurrection

LEGO 2K Drive reviewed by Luke Reilly on Xbox Series X. Also available on Xbox One, PlayStation, Switch, and PC. “One part The Crew 2, one part Mario Kart, and one thousand parts… LEGO parts, LEGO 2K Drive is a wild and whimsical all-ages kart racer that’s buried itself under my skin like the pointed

The Outlast Trials early access reviewed on PC by Travis Northup. The Outlast Trials is a unique cooperative horror game with a fantastic premise and some really memorable scenarios, but while the early access version proves the concept there’s a lot of work to be done to make those ideas pay off. Running around with

Humanity reviewed by Gabriel Moss on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR 2. Also available on PS4, PSVR, and PC. Humanity is a beautiful, modern reimagining of Lemmings that feels as esoteric and artsy as Enhance’s previous games, while ambitiously stepping onto new terrain for the action puzzle genre with the pitter-patter of countless little feet.

Darkest Dungeon 2 reviewed on PC by Jon Bolding. Interesting turn-based RPG combat keeps Darkest Dungeon 2’s roguelite progression fresh for hours – if you can push past the early, intentionally punishing humps and like it for what it is, rather than the close retread of Darkest Dungeon that it isn’t. Its structure may be

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom reviewed by Tom Marks on Nintendo Switch. This is an unfathomable sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, somehow improving upon it in nearly every way – be that with simple quality-of-life improvements, a genuinely exciting story, or wildly creative new building mechanics that

Honkai: Star Rail reviewed on PC by Jess Reyes. “Honkai: Star Rail is the best free-to-play game of the year so far. Its stellar storytelling and satisfying progression systems offer dozens of hours of content that a HoYo newcomer can enjoy, even without paying for gacha items or having played Honkai Impact 3rd or Genshin

Redfall reviewed by Luke Reilly on Xbox Series X. Also available on PC. “Redfall is a bafflingly bad time across the board, whether playing solo or with a friend or three suffering alongside you. That it comes in the wake of Arkane’s excellent Deathloop, the enduringly beloved Prey, and the acclaimed Dishonored series honestly beggars

The Last Case of Benedict Fox reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on PC. Also available on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. “The Last Case of Benedict Fox features a wonderfully unique supernatural setting that’s full of interesting ideas, but mixed execution and control issues meant that I could only enjoy its morbid mystery in patches.

With Redfall arriving at IGN just a couple of days ahead of its official release date, reviewer Luke Reilly hasn’t had enough time to complete his final review yet. However, after his time spent with the vampire-slaying shooter so far – solo, co-op with a friend, and also in a group of three – he

Stray Blade reviewed by Jarrett Green on PC. Also available on Xbox and PlayStation. The striking color palette of Stray Blade’s world and its simplified combat are admirable but flawed attempts to stand out amongst the growing din of FromSoftware-inspired action RPGs. Its large scale turns that lovely world into a labyrinth bloated with endless

Age of Wonders 4 reviewed by Leana Hafer on PC. The fact that your legacy follows you in Age of Wonders 4 is rewarding, and the faster pace of its very strong campaign mechanics and pretty good tactical battles make it feel like you can write a new chapter of this saga in a reasonable

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor reviewed by Dan Stapleton on PlayStation 5. Also available on Xbox Series X|S and PC. “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes what Fallen Order did and wall-runs with it, then double-jumps and air-dashes straight into an epic lightsaber battle. Rather than taking us back to square one to begin Cal’s journey as

Tron: Identity fills a void that’s been empty since the Tron world debuted in Kingdom Hearts II almost 20 years ago. After multiple playthroughs, however, it’s still not clear what the story means for the greater Tron canon. Identity feels more like a first chapter than a standalone story, which may very well be the

Dredge reviewed by Gabriel Moss on PlayStation 5. Also available on PC, Switch, Xbox, and PS4. Dredge erupted out of the left field as 2023’s most unforgettably creepy fishing simulator. Without spoiling anything, its slow dive into Lovecraftian horror intermingles with subtle elements of seabound thrillers like Jaws and Moby Dick, and yet despite its

Disney Speedstorm Early Access reviewed by Luke Reilly on PC. Also available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch. “Disney Speedstorm in Early Access is a fundamentally good kart racer that’s currently too light on tracks and too repetitive to warrant the required investment. Worse still, it’s buried beneath a veritable Splash Mountain of gacha garbage and

Watch our IGN Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores review! A couple of poor boss battles aside, Forbidden West’s Burning Shores DLC is a great new chapter with enough creative new bells and whistles to keep Horizon fans more than happy. #IGN #Gaming #HorizonForbiddenWest

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp reviewed by Jada Griffin on Nintendo Switch. With nicely redone graphics and excellent music bringing the classic turn-based tactical action up to modern standards, Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a great return for this long-neglected series and gives me hope for a follow-up that includes the DS games. While

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story reviewed by Jada Griffin on PlayStation 5. Also available on PS4, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch. The Mageseeker: A League of Legends story is another solid example of Riot Forge partnering with talented developers to bring League’s rich list of champions to life in new genres to showcase

Dead Island 2 reviewed by Travis Northup on PlayStation 5 and PC. Also available on Xbox. Dead Island 2 is a hysterical Los Angeles-infused satire that does most things well enough, but feels like a stroll down the Walk of Fame of celebrated zombie games I’ve already played without adding many new ideas of its
