Meh Reviews but Useful Guides Some of their reviews are wildly dishonest but plenty of their guides, especially on retro games, are well written. My brother used their spoiler free Chrono Trigger guide and I can confirm it was splendidly written.

IGN on mobile is a tragedy I have chosen to wait writing this review in case it was fixed at some point (wishful thinking), but this has been an issue since I have started using IGN on my mobile up to over a year ago. While IGN has served well on some fronts hence two stars in lieu of one, using the website on a mobile is beyond infuriating. The ads on pages fill up the screen and laid in so slowly that when you tap somewhere on the page, you click the ads instead. When watching videos, the ad that plays before (if you are lucky) will sometimes load only its audio for up to 15 seconds and be unskippable after the regular five seconds. The video player sometimes snaps incorrectly so that you cannot exit or change what part of a video you want to watch due to it filling up too much of the screen to tap either out of it or pause it; this has never been an issue on other sites with my device. Furthermore, if you are plagued by an add that has an X to close, it will sometimes be untappable on the video itself. While I get some enjoyment from the videos, it'd be far more enjoyable with a player that works and if it is ever fixed, I will happily change this review. Until then, it is: Awful and unenjoyable.

No thank you. Some reviews on games just don't make sense at all, looks like they were written by complete amateurs, its baffling sometimes. Most reviews are either extremely biased or just straight up wrong with pretty hilarious reasons. It seems the site favours corporations over the actual gamers.

Seems ign hires journalists instead of… Seems ign hires journalists instead of gamers to review games since of late and they have a biased point of view. To be able to write an article about à game you should have played à lot of them. Some games seriously dont deserve their ratings and are uterly underrated cause they are not triple A games. Just take "dead cells" review for exemple and you Will clearly see they hire any bunch of low lives.

Does everything that I ask Does everything that I ask, I usually just use this site for reviews and honestly most of the reviews are honest and ones that are helpful, however, it gets annoying when you realize that it seems a lot of the people that review games seem to be paid. Some games just have an oddly high number for it's rating. Especially shooter series, they are getting way too much praise while platformers are stuck at the bottom simply because a lot of people don't prefer them.
