IGN's Reviews
Battlezone looks good and controls well, but offline there’s nothing to think about besides shoot, shoot, shoot, which in this case just doesn’t provide enough of a good time to be enjoyable for long.
I've enjoyed most of Battleborn's campaign during my initial playthrough, though it's mostly due to the handiwork of the insane playable characters than the drab enemies and stages. The unlocks both near (in-match leveling) and far (unlocking new characters) have kept me anticipating each new campaign level attempt, though I wish said campaign were just a bit more exciting and varied. Hopefully some time with competitive multiplayer will make my upgrades and unlocks come even faster.
I’m enjoying Godfall, even if it’s not doing much to wow me and the repetition of its missions is wearing a bit thin. It’s got some fun and satisfying combat, a few genuinely novel mechanics, and graphics that range from absolutely gorgeous to a little over the top – but unless its thin story morphs into more than an excuse to go stab stuff, the grindable action-looter structure doesn't seem like it has enough variety to sustain its otherwise expansive customization.
Sorry, rugby fans, this is a horrible, rushed release punted out the door in time for the World Cup.
Testament: The Order of High Human is a bland, frustrating, and buggy fantasy adventure that would have been a bad four-hour Skyrim knockoff. At 40 hours, it’s hard to bear.
FIFA 23 on Switch is a prime example of minimal effort for maximum profit.
Postal 4: No Regerts is cringingly juvenile and painful to play in between all the times it's hard crashing.
CrossfireX's multiplayer modes aren't worth the price you'll pay…and it's free-to-play.
Nerf Legends is a broken, painful slog that you shouldn't even consider playing as a joke.
FIFA 22: Legacy Edition on Nintendo Switch is another infuriating release in the series.
Waking tries to take the best of many different genres but creates a horrible mess of clashing, ugly parts.
The Culling 2 is nothing more than a weak imitation of PUBG and H1Z1.
Rugby 15 has more bugs than Starship Troopers and is messier than school-yard mugby.
Shallow, unresponsive, and unoriginal, The Fighter Within embodies the worst of what Kinect has to offer.
With its unfair gameplay and messy combat, Natural Doctrine is nothing more than a tedious, rage-inducing nightmare.
Mortal Kombat 1 proves to be too much for the Switch's dated hardware. The load times are egregious, there are numerous bugs plaguing both graphics and gameplay, making for a poor quality port of a great game that's all around aggravating to play.
Greyhill Incident is a tedious horror game that mangles everything from its story to its stealth.
Lucius can be unexpectedly funny and darkly satisfying but suffers from questionable and frustrating design choices.
CrossfireX's pair of single-player shooter campaigns are sloppy, soulless, and mercifully brief.
Dated design, clunky multiplayer systems, and unacceptable load times make playing Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition a terrific chore.
