Dark Souls’ Moonlight Greatsword Returns In Armored Core VI
28.8.2023
The Sword of Moonlight has been in most FromSoftware games since 1994’s first-person fantasy RPG, King’s Field. It appeared in Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and even last year’s Elden Ring. Now it’s back in Armored Core VI, and it’s as fun and powerful to wield as ever.Read more

The Best (And Worst) Video Game Names Of 2022
26.12.2022
The line between an amazing video game name and a terrible one is nebulous. Some game names try so hard that they loop back around and become good, despite being objectively bad. Some game names are good only in that they use cool words, but the vibe screams, “I was created in a vat overseen by...

Total War: Warhammer III: Immortal Empires Is The Best Total War Campaign In Years
23.8.2022
Ten years ago Total War developers Creative Assembly announced a licensing deal that would see the historical strategy game developers take on, for the first time ever, a fictional setting: the fantasy Warhammer universe. Across three full games and multiple expansions, and all the work and acclaim...
New 40K Game Is XCOM With Space Marines, And It's Great
12.5.2022
Like I’ve said before, there are too many Warhammer games, and one of the big downfalls of that carefree licensing is that when there are so many games coming out with the same branding they just become background noise. Which is a shame when one comes along that deserves to stand out.Read more
The Best Part Of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Is Its Endgame
13.4.2022
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands doesn’t really get started until the end. The best part of Gearbox’s new loot-shooter is an endgame mode called Chaos Chamber. It is both a total bummer and, ultimately, for the best that you can’t unlock it until you roll the credits, as, take it from me, doing so...
The Stranger of Paradise Demo Is Unapologetically Cringe, And I Love It
12.3.2022
Since its announcement during E3 2021, Team Ninja’s Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin has been a hotbed for shitposts and memes. These memes primarily involve out-of-context scenes of protagonist Jack Garland’s music tastes and his unbridled obsession with killing “Chaos”. Read more
Total War: Warhammer III: The Kotaku Review
14.2.2022
I remember putting on record back in 2016 how I thought Creative Assembly’s pivot to Warhammer games was a bad idea. How “seeing the series walk away from the real world was a blow”, and that “This isn’t even the good Warhammer. It’s the dorky medieval one”. Read more
The Worst Games Of 2021 According To Metacritic
17.12.2021
It was the best of games, it was the worst of games. 2021 was another year where we flocked to our gaming consoles and computers for shelter from the virus-ridden world outside. While there were plenty of good games to play this year, there were also those so bad that they made everything more...
Resurgence Of Facism Forces Warhammer To Remind Fans Imperium Are Villains
19.11.2021
Some Warhammer 40,000 players think the game’s fascist Imperium of Man faction is awesome, and actually has a few good ideas. It does not. To clarify this point—which more than one Warhammer 40K fan appears to have missed—maker Games Workshop put out a statement saying that you do not, under...

4.10.2021
Last week, Square Enix released yet another trailer for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, its upcoming Souls-like prequel to the original Final Fantasy. And while the project continues to look great, English-speaking fans apparently missed out on some more aggressive references to Chaos...
That New Final Fantasy Origins Trailer Is Actually Pretty Cool
1.10.2021
Whenever I think about the Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origins E3 trailer, the lasting impression of the game isn’t the fact that it is a Final Fantasy game or even its admittedly cool combat. No, the only thing that comes to mind is how the protagonist just really wants to kill chaos....

Chaos Walking Has Too Much Walking, Too Little Chaos
3.3.2021
Actually, let me take that back slightly—there is quite a lot of chaos in Chaos Walking, but only in the sense that attempting to navigate a coherent arc through its jumbled, disjointed scenes is a frustratingly messy ask of its audience. Despite its big names, Chaos Walking’s languid energy...
Sorry Crazy Taxi Fans, Taxi Chaos Ain't It
1.3.2021
Taxi Chaos is not Crazy Taxi. But it’s trying to be, and it succeeds in some important ways while completely failing in many others. Consider this a warning: Don’t buy Taxi Chaos. But if you do, I can help make the game a bit better. Read more
