Why IGN’s Alien Isolation Review is an Insult to Journalism

Ten years ago, IGN dropped their Alien Isolation review, one that still gets mentioned in the comment sections of their reviews to this very day. You're watching Rayl Deal Games, and in this video, I'll be rhetorically analyzing Mr. McCaffrey's points, taking into account the interviews he gave on the IGN podcast, Beyond, among other associated videos. Check the links below for the entire list of videos sourced and creators mentioned in this video.

Regardless of what you choose to do, thank you for keeping it real with Rayl Deal Games. Have an awesome day, my friend!
