What It’s Like To Be At Summer Game Fest As The Reveals Happen


The YouTube Theater, where the first-ever in-person Summer Game Fest Event is being held, sits inside a massive structure that also houses SoFi Stadium, home of the LA Rams and Chargers. The structure looks enormous as I walk around its exterior—stark white and seemingly endless. A long line...

YouTube Freaks Out As Lofi Hip Hop Girl Disappears From Popular Stream


The Studio Ghibli-style Lofi Girl has been sitting by her window since 2018, listening to soft hip hop beats forever playing in the YouTube livestream she lives in. She’s become a studying staple, a teammate to sit beside while you pore over homework or your half-finished sitcom script, and spawned...

The Best Call of Duty Battle Royale Isn’t Warzone


Six or seven days a week, MinerHoboJo fires up his PlayStation 5 and signs into Twitch or YouTube to stream a five-year-old game—Blackout, the first Call of Duty battle royale. By his own estimation, and community consensus, Miner is the game’s global leader in solo wins and kills. (There are...

As A Resident Evil 4 Newcomer, Remake's Village Fight Is Shockingly Brutal


Resident Evil 4 combines two of my least favorite things in the world: shooting and horror. But with the remake out, and nearly twenty years passing since my initial adverse reaction to it (you can’t expect an elementary schooler to adequately handle their character being axed in the head),...

Most Open-World Games Feel Samey, But This One's Got Heart


More often than not, open-world games grind against my own gaming sensibilities. I’m the type of person who’s very goal- and narrative-oriented, so the simple act of existing in a world can sometimes feel meandering—no amount of clearing dots off a giant map will hit the same as a crafted, linear...

5 Huge Games Releasing This Spring (And Music You Should Jam While Playing)


Congratulations, you made it to March, when it’s still freezing, but you might notice a tulip poke its green head out of the dirt. Like flowers as we get deeper into the year, video game releases are also beginning to flourish. But, perhaps controversially, I rarely manage to get myself excited...

The Art Of God of War Ragnarök


I don’t know if I’ve ever actually discussed this on Fine Art before, it’s just something we have to work with in the background and I haven’t wanted to bore you with the details, but you should know that video game artists are rarely, if ever, allowed to just share their work whenever and however...

John Walker's Top Ten Games Of 2022


2022 may have been a year left somewhat fallow for AAA releases, but it had no shortage of fantastic games further down the financial scale. I’ve spent more time playing a card game on my phone than I have playing God of War on my couch, while I’ve been told some of the most interesting...

Welcome To Kentaku


Oh, hi. I didn’t see you there. I’m Kenneth Shepard, Kotaku’s new staff writer.Read more

Twitch Star Hasan Piker Banned After Rebroadcasting Unhinged Kanye Interview


It happened again: Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker, Twitch’s top political commentator, just got hit with another ban hammer. However, this time, it’s not because he called white people “cracker”. Instead, it was due to apparent copyright infringement for watching an interview with rapper-turned-antisemite...

Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Contains One Of The Greatest Facts Of All Time


Within the many, many aspects of the new Pokémon Scarlet And Violet (PSV), from its Gym campaign to its Titan-battling storyline, is one feature that is easily forgotten: its Academy lessons. For the most part, that’s for a good reason—they’re astoundingly boring. But there’s one moment, in...

Video Games, Please Stop Making Me Craft Crap


If I was playing a video game this year, odds were high that I was also dealing with some sort of crafting system. Sometimes I was fighting off zombies in a large open world. Or killing monsters and bandits in God of War Ragnarök. Or fighting bad guys on the mean streets of Gotham City as Batgirl....

Don't Miss One Of The Most Heartfelt (And Funniest) Games Of 2022


The other day at a cafe, I ordered my small coffee and was ready to pay and be on my way when the person helping me said, “Can I get you anything else, sssss…?” By the awkward look on her face, I could tell that she’d automatically started to say “sir,” which in a way I understand. I’ve worked...

Gotham Knights Is Kinda Mid


Gotham Knights came out a week ago and I’ve found it exceedingly difficult to find anything to love about the open-world loot brawler. Red Hood’s snickerdoodle recipe, maybe? The latest Batman game borrows from a ton of other, mostly better rivals, and struggles to craft a clear identity in...
