XBOX ONE CASUAL GAMES SERIES
Getting from that first point to the second may dissolve into a series of frustrating knowledge checks until you learn the hard way what you can and can’t do, but on the other side of the grind is a fun fighting game with enough hidden depth to hopefully sustain a player base that thrives on continued discovery. However, that simplicity doesn’t mean it isn’t also a great game to play online after you really understand the complex mechanics underneath those inputs and how any two characters interact with one another.

– Ronny Barrierĭeveloper: Capcom | Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC | IGN’s Capcom Fighting Collection Video Reviewįrom our review: DNF Duel’s simplified inputs make it a great game for beginners to pick up, press a few buttons, and get right into the action. It’s a bummer that there’s no cross-platform play and Street Fighter III is conspicuously absent, but other than that Capcom truly has a collection worth collecting on its hands. Online play has been flawless ahead of launch thanks to easy matchmaking and modern rollback netcode. – Stella Chungĭeveloper: Respawn Entertainment | Platform: Mobile | IGN’s Apex Legends Mobile Video Review Capcom Fighting Collectionįrom our review: The Capcom Fighting Collection has everything it needs to succeed: a collection of great games alongside some rarities, an impressive museum filled with interesting art and music, and a snappy UI linking everything together. Some of its tweaks mean teamwork isn’t as encouraged as it is on other platforms, but sometimes there’s nothing wrong with a little lone-wolfing. Being able to play Apex anywhere on a platform that can handle its fast-paced movement and gunplay well is incredible, and extra touches like the directional audio visualizer and an exclusive Legend that introduces new tactical possibilities give me a few reasons to play here instead of my usual stomping grounds. While a few things are still being worked on, like reliable controller support, I found myself wanting to spend more time on, especially immediately after finishing a match. – Leana Haferĭeveloper: ThinkingStars | Platforms: PS5, PS4, PC | IGN’s Anno: Mutationem Video Review Apex Legends Mobileįrom our review: Apex Mobile is a surprisingly fun battle royale experience that brings everything Apex Legends does on PC/console to mobile devices in a way that is in some ways better than the original.
But none of that stopped me from thoroughly enjoying all the things it did well. An unwieldy plot and less than amazing script show that if the project was missing one thing, it was probably an editor. When you add in the neon urban sprawl of Skopp City, bursting with flavor and character around every corner, it gets even easier. Anno: Mutationemįrom our review: Excellent, punchy side-scrolling combat against diverse and interesting enemies is almost enough by itself to make Anno: Mutationem an easy recommendation. If we have major complaints, there are more than enough excellent qualities to cancel them out. These games leave us with something outstanding to remember them by, usually novel gameplay ideas for single-player or multiplayer, clever characters and writing, noteworthy graphics and sound, or some combination thereof.
