Disney Infinity 3.0 sees the pop culture powerhouse flexing its formidable mega franchise muscles with impressive results. It’s a game that doesn’t just encourage the player to have fun, it insists on it; offering up a generous helping of gameplay and countless things to unlock even before you start piling...
Lara Croft GO
From the opening menu screen of Lara Croft Go – a wheel of items you cycle through, reminiscent of the early games – to the tropical ruins and mysterious caverns of its five chapters, Lara Croft Go feels like a classic Tomb Raider experience, with its sense of adventure and...
Mega Man Legacy Collection is an object lesson for how game compilations should be engineered, providing rock-solid adaptation to a new platform, respecting the material’s historic context, and exercising restraint. I recommend it both to Mega Man fans and to players who haven't had the privilege of experiencing these exemplary...
Madden NFL 16
Simply put, Madden NFL 16 changes the way you play the game. The risk vs. reward aspect of the new passing and defending mechanics adds a level of realism the franchise has never seen. You can catch and throw the ball pretty much exactly how you want, and it feels...
Until Dawn

The Phantom Pain is the kind of game I thought would never exist - one where every minute gameplay detail has true purpose. Its lack of story focus is sure to be divisive for the Metal Gear faithful, but the resulting emphasis on my story, my tales of Espionage Action,...
Zombi
Zombi is the textbook example of a game that needs a sequel. Within the trope-ripe grounds of the zombie shooter, it builds interesting NPCs, delivers genuine scares, and makes deaths mean something more than a respawn. With more exciting combat, Zombi might have been a must-own for horror fans. As...
Volume
Volume may suffer from a few issues of poorly designed AI and easily exploited level design, but I still found a great number of challenging rooms with an intriguing story to match, and plenty of room to master. The added bonus of being able to show how to complete a...
This series faces an uphill battle in maintaining momentum so long after the release of the game. At the moment, it's losing that fight. This issue is heavy on action and bloodshed but light on characterization or compelling drama. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jesse is a mild-mannered writer for IGN. Allow him to lend...
[Editor's Note: In light of the new information about the hidden sprint feature, we've taken the unusual step of raising Everybody's Gone to the Rapture's score from an 8 to an 8.5, in order to bring it in line with the revised text. This is not to suggest that sprinting...
