V Rising Review
A challenging ARPG that has been nicely polished up during its dark slumber in Early Access.

Customer Reviews
Convenient
I usually like to check in on IGN reviews from time to time. The podcast makes doing that quick and easy. It isn’t much more than the audio form of their written reviews which can be found on the website, but there’s nothing wrong with that.
Good way to find games
I used to rely on EGM as a kid to help find the oddball good games that you don’t hear people talk about, and this has filled that void. Now I’m at least aware of some new games, even if I’m usually playing the games from five years ago that I’ve never gotten around to.
Hard to listen to
I don’t think it’s just IGN that has this problem, but games media as a whole. The writers are incredibly wordy and it tends to come off bad. Kind of as if they’re showing off their talent and putting that above the content matter itself. Eh. The lengthy paragraphs found online do NOT translate well to audio. Sentences are heavy with words and I grew incredibly bored rather quickly. It was like sitting through a lecture and listening to a professor I care nothing about. Short and punchy should do the trick in terms of audio reviews. Remember, this is Audible. I’m not listening to a book.
