Speedy Combat And French Weirdness Make Steelrising A Unique Soulslike
16.6.2022
Genre has been on my mind a lot ever since I had a chance to get some hands-on time with a preview build of Steelrising, an upcoming soulslike action-RPG from French developer Spiders. In this stab at the infectiously popular and notoriously challenging genre, Spiders hopes to send us to...

49 Under-The-Radar Games That Belong On Your Radar
11.6.2022
Video game marketing season is an exercise in duality. For every Sony State of Play or Geoff Keigh3, there’s a lower key event—a Day of the Devs, say, or a Devolver Digital showcase. Today’s big one is the annual Guerrilla Collective livestream.Read more
Steam Breakout V Rising Is A Stellar Survival RPG
31.5.2022
I have complicated feelings about the modern vampire story. Violence is cheap. Tasty humans are plentiful. And skyscrapers provide ample shelter from the sun. The sanctity of human life doesn’t mean much to creatures that will kill people over a simple meal. It can feel powerful to be so...
15 Incredible Indie Games To Slam On Your Wishlist
30.5.2022
“...no, you can have some water in the afternoon if you’re quiet.” I’m sorry, you’ve caught me just cramming the last of the Kotaku team in the Holiday Closet. As they rest and recuperate in tangled proximity, I have control of the site, and as such can write about indie games no one’s heard...
Cursed Mario Kart Clone Starring Peter Griffin Is Actually Pretty Good
27.5.2022
I was horrified by the trailer for Warped Kart Racers, a new kart-racing game that blends together several popular animated shows. But like a terrible car wreck, I couldn’t look away from the waking nightmare of Peter Griffin and Hank Hill racing each other in a Mario Kart clone. It was cursed....

25.5.2022
Dozens of games were shown during Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase earlier this month, but only one featured a crab heading out in search of treasure, sword in claw, and taking on the undersea world. The Switch game in question, Another Crab’s Treasure, sounded perfectly niche, but its developers...
Dune Crypto Leader Quits NFT Project After Being Accused Of Racism, Homophobia & Grooming
24.5.2022
Let’s cast our minds back to January, when I wrote a story called ‘Crypto Losers Buy Copy Of Jodorowsky’s Dune, Have Played Themselves’, a piece which I thought at the time perfectly captured the extent to which brainworms had infested the blockchain community.Read more
13 Killer Strategies For Dead By Daylight
13.5.2022
If life were a Scream movie, I would likely have already been trapped under a garage door by now. It would have been punishment for spending $62 on a skort one time and watching Friday the 13th after eating a weed-infused chocolate chip cookie. It really enhanced the ki, ki, ki, ma, ma, ma...

Someone Finally Made The Inventory Briefcase From Resident Evil 4 A Puzzle Game
3.5.2022
Resident Evil 4 has stood the test of time as one of the most iconic survival horror games. While you could credit its accolades to its enigmatic merchant, Ashley’s banshee screeches, or Leon’s devil-may-care attitude, perhaps the quintessential RE4 experience is methodically Tetris-ing your...

How To Earn Millions Of Studs Quickly In Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
8.4.2022
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a very good game. In fact, I’d say it’s probably one of the best Star Wars games ever made. A big reason why is that it contains such a rich assortment of characters and ships from all the films, from the most widely known to those only true Star Wars diehards...
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, As Told By Steam Reviews
6.4.2022
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is exactly what it says on the tin. The open-world action game is TT Games’ latest entry in the Lego Star Wars series, and it’s pure nostalgia for anyone who grew up watching the Star Wars movies. It’s reviewed very well for being faithful to the movies ahumorous...
A Stunning Southern Dystopia Is One Of The Best-Written Games Of The Year
30.3.2022
The unnerving tone of Geography Of Robot’s Southern Gothic point-n-click adventure Norco fascinates me. Its conflation of a recognisable 21st-century Louisiana, and dystopian science fiction, creates an oppressive darkness that weighs on my mind as I click through the game’s “mind-map” menu, where...
Far: Changing Tides Is Your Next Under-The-Radar Game Pass Gem
16.3.2022
The past two months have been defined by massive, sprawling adventures that sap all of your free time (and part of your soul). As a result, this week, I’ve found myself gravitating toward a tighter, more focused game, Okomotive’s Far: Changing Tides.Read more
Square Enix's New Tactical RPG Is Deeper Than Pixel Art Nostalgia
10.3.2022
When I first saw the trailer for Square Enix’s new tactical role-playing game Triangle Strategy, I was excited about scratching my Fire Emblem itch (very normcore of me, I know). But now that I’m actually playing it, I’ve found that it’s more often reminding me of another game I love. After a...
Internet Horror Legend Sees Incredible Reimagining After Over A Decade Of Tensions
16.2.2022

New Agent Neon Brings Sprinting And Sliding To Valorant
5.1.2022
In her recent (and gorgeous) reveal trailer, Neon, the newest agent about to be introduced to Riot’s team-based tactical shooter, Valorant, breaks the cardinal rule of the sweaty, tryhard, head-clicking tac-shooter genre—she can actually move fluidly.Read more
