IGN's headquarters are located here.

In a spacious office, Michael is leisurely sipping coffee, chatting with colleagues and negotiating prices with Huaxia Moyun Technology on the other side of the world.

Michael is a veteran editor of IGN, who has participated in the review of many of the world's most famous triple-A masterpieces, and when he first saw that it was a game company in China that submitted a game review, he was really shocked, and then couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

What the? In that country that has implemented a game lockdown for many years, there are still people making single-player games? And these people who make games still know IGN, an international evaluation agency?

Oh, he remembered, it seems that this country has lifted the ban on the import of game consoles a few years ago, and he seems to have done a report.

But please, a country that has been isolated from the art of games for more than a decade and completely occupied by online games, even if they re-notice the market of single-player games, what good games can they make?

Games are not independent products, and they need to be supported by a whole set of industries, otherwise there are not even a few high-level technical personnel, and how can there be soil for the birth of high-quality games.

After the other party passed the game over, saw the pitiful 130M capacity, and heard that it was a mobile game, Michael's face became even more sarcastic, so he began to ask for a sky-high price.

Although this kind of gadget is time-saving and labor-saving to evaluate, generally speaking, it doesn't cost a few dollars, but Huaxia's companies are not all wealthy, who do you slaughter?

The public relations staff of Moyun Technology Company are not fools, so it is naturally impossible to be at the mercy of others, and the two sides began to argue.

After a long time, the other party still refused to give in too much, Michael felt a little bored, just had nothing to do, so he transferred the game to his mobile phone with great interest, curious about how inferior this gadget would be.

Open the game, looking at the exquisite opening animation, he couldn't help nodding slightly, it seems that this company is very luxurious, and it is actually outsourced to make such a beautiful CG, which is probably worth no less than 200,000 US dollars, and it is necessary to slaughter it fiercely!

Obviously, he doesn't think Huaxia has the technology to make beautiful CG.

In fact, this is also a fact, take movies as an example, many domestic movies known as the Lord of the Rings special effects team and the Avatar special effects team, no matter how many hundreds of millions of votes are thrown in, they can only make a piece of-in the end, not to mention far away, the recent trailer of Guo Siniang's "extinction" is a bloody example.

I don't fight for it, and I don't complain about being despised by foreigners.

When the initial cutscene is over, Michael is a little unsatisfied, I heard that Huaxia's games are very good at doing plots, it seems that the rumors are true, and the kind of chic and elegant Xianxia cultural atmosphere is not possessed by any game in the United States, which is very fascinating.

He felt that it was a pity that the game market in China had wasted a precious gold mine, using the best raw materials for big meals, but only making street food that could not be put on the table.

“what？ "Mountains and Rivers Refining Immortals"? 2D version? ”

Despite the fact that the translation of the fantasy generator was as accurate as possible, and the opening animation was foreshadowed, Michael was still a little confused, completely unable to understand what the name meant.

Could it be that the game tells a picture?

Does the addition of a 2D version to the name suffix still mean that it also has a 3D version?

Michael shook his head, he couldn't figure out what the brain circuits of these orientals were, he could only click to start the game and enter the field of game evaluation that he was good at.

As a veteran player who has been playing the game for more than ten years, Michael can basically see at a glance whether the main body of the game is excellent.

“oh-my-god！ This art style is really superb! Michael was instantly conquered by the game's ink painting style, and his eyes simply glowed.

IGN has a special feature, for indie games with a strong art style, they often give very high ratings, even a bit high, the main reason is that most of the editors in it are old and young!

That's right, literary and artistic youth, a creature that is extremely sensitive to appearance, not only exists in Huaxia Yunnan, but is widely distributed all over the world.

"It seems that I misunderstood, this game is completely different from those low-quality scum in China, and the fact that this similar but more expressive graphics style to "Hell's Border" alone gives it a basis for high scores." Michael muttered to himself.

As he controlled the character to move, the exclamations were wave after wave, and a flush gradually appeared on his face, which was the wonderful expression of a core player after playing the game he wanted.

It's like falling in love with a game!

The rest of the office was surprised, as they themselves occasionally became like this, wondering what kind of game was Michael, the arrogant and even somewhat mean editor, fascinated by?

I remember the last time he became like this ghost was when he played "The Witcher 3".

But "The Witcher 3" is a triple-A supermaster, and I haven't heard of any famous games recently!

"Hi Michael, what game are you reviewing? Send me a copy too. Jones, the young girl next door, naughtily stretched out her long black silk legs, bit her lip and kicked Michael, as if to seduce him.

Actually, this is a clever plan that Jones has figured out against this old-timer, which can test how attentive he is to one thing, because Michael has been divorced for several years and is now somewhat addicted to fine wine and beauty.

Sure enough, even though Jones kicked several times and made Michael feel fragrant, he was very interested in beautiful women, but he did not respond in the slightest.

Because, his love for games has overshadowed everything, otherwise he would not have divorced his ex-wife a few years ago because of playing "Grand Theft Auto 5".

At this moment, he has completely immersed himself in the world of "Mountains and Rivers Refining Immortals", and he is fascinated by the mysterious oriental culture!

Jones was very curious, this senior's strict standards for games are obvious to everyone, and now he is holding his mobile phone, indicating that it is just a small mobile game, what kind of mobile game can make him so addicted?

Jones decided to reveal the answer herself, she got up and went to Michael's place, coquettishly pushed him aside with the chair, then held his mouse, found the latest email, forwarded it directly to her mailbox, thought about it, and sent it to all the editors in the company, and then downloaded it with her mobile phone.

"Hey, everybody, listen to me, I just sent out the game that captivated old Michael to all of you, let's give this one a try!" While installing the game on his phone, Jones waved his arms and called for everyone to try it out.

After Chu Ye's transformation, the compatibility of "Mountains and Rivers Refining Immortals" has been greatly improved, and the same game file can be run under the Android system, and it is still smooth and silky when changed to IOS and windows.

The other editors smiled kindly when they heard Jones's appeal, and the new girl was very enthusiastic and often moved the whole office atmosphere, and everyone loved her to death.

Thinking that Michael would also be attacked by a mobile game, many hardcore players in the editor expressed great interest, downloaded it as soon as possible, and then played.

Led by them, everyone else was also curious to install the game and try it out.

This time, it's amazing......

An hour later, Mr. Devon, a director of the company, angrily went to the editors' offices and was about to ask Steve's editor why he hadn't updated an important article on the site.

But when he saw the eerily quiet atmosphere in the office, he froze.

I saw that everyone in the office had turned into a bowing party, and his arrival didn't even cause anyone to look up, and was completely ignored.

"Can anyone tell me what the hell you're up to?!" Devin yelled frantically, but no one cared about his anger.

Well, this time the ignorance is really quite complete, you employees are going to reverse God!

Annoyed, Devon rushed to a desk in a few strides, grabbed Steve, the person he was looking for trouble with, and shook it vigorously.

However, it is unbelievable that even if Steve's body is shaking like he is sitting on a tractor, the distance between his head and his mobile phone can be kept still, this unique skill is so cool that he has no friends!

Devin was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and he even laughed angrily, okay, no one cares about playing games and no one pays attention to me, right?

He took out his mobile phone, clicked on the SMS software, and then edited the message to send it in a group.

As a result, everyone's phones received a message: fuck-you! Get-out-now，！

Translating Chinese is: eating pulls you, don't you hurry up and get out?

Well, this translation is absolutely fine!

At this moment, everyone was as uncomfortable as eating flies, the interest in playing the game suddenly dissipated, the office resounded with boos one after another, and someone even quietly raised the middle finger to Davin.

Devin finally smiled, his face full of scolding, hum, fight with me? You young people are too tender!

"Okay, can someone tell me about this office?" Devin asked aloud.

"Old Davin man, this game is wonderful, it will pale in any language to describe it, you better download it and play it yourself." Michael shook his head, his face full of nostalgia, as if he was flirting with a blonde who was angry at a critical moment, but the other party suddenly ran to take a shower!

Recalling the game experience just now, Michael just wants to describe it in one word, and that is to be exhilarating!

This game seems to hide infinite magic under the simple art style graphics, which can suck people's full attention, or soul, into the game's plot, battles, upgrades, treasure refining, and cultivation, and everything is so perfect that you can't find the slightest flaw.

Michael lamented that there is such a perfect game in the world, the gameplay is simply ridiculously strong, what kind of things were all those things that were played before? Even if it's those triple-A masterpieces, aside from all the gorgeous appearances, in terms of gameplay alone, most of them will be blown out of by this game!

As a core player with a deep understanding of the game, Michael meditated for an afternoon before writing a review, and finally figured out where the magic of "Mountains and Rivers Refining Immortals" lies.

That's the rhythm.

During the game, every link of it is connected just right, without the slightest redundant and cumbersome design.

For example, when you first enter the game, you want to understand its controls, background, and features, and the game will follow your wishes with clever and interesting instructions.

For example, when you experience the first aggrieved plot and want to kill a big fight, the game will immediately let you enter the battle, and at the same time remind you to open the burning spirit and burning mana, the first time you use these two functions is to abuse the enemy, which will definitely make you cool to explode!

It's because of this wonderful rhythm that this game can make people addictive and have a hypnotic effect that is amazing.

"The designers of "Mountains and Rivers Refining Immortals" definitely have very deep attainments in the field of psychology, don't worry, although IGN occasionally collects money, but for really good games, especially high-quality indie games, we will definitely not chill the makers who worked hard to develop it!" Michael muttered to himself the secret of IGN's success.

The secret of IGN's success is undoubtedly dedication and professionalism.

Attentiveness means that you will carefully play each game submitted for review and write a fairly good review.

Professional means that each game will be cross-evaluated by multiple editors, and if you try to reach a consensus, you will get a rating that everyone is satisfied with.

Although IGN is a commercial company, it has a very good grasp of the balance between commerciality and authority, and it can be said that it has achieved a perfect balance.

Collecting money, at most, is to blow up a little bit of a game that is slightly inferior, but for really good games, they never deliberately smear them.

After much deliberation, Michael, a veteran editor, finally started writing the first draft of the review, which he is now looking forward to.

Looking forward to how violent a tsunami this game will cause in the world gaming circle after its official release?

Looking forward to a hypnotic game that has never been seen before, can you conquer the whole world?

He wants to be a witness to this event, and he will wait and see!
