Hey, PlayStation, If You’re Putting Games On Switch, Here’s A Few More Ideas
28.3.2025
One of the more surprising announcements from yesterday’s Nintendo Direct was that not one but two more PlayStation series are coming to Switch.

Insomniac Boss Says Resistance 4 Was The One That Got Away
7.2.2025
The Resistance games were never among Sony’s most popular franchises but they still have a special place in some players’ hearts, especially those who remained ride-or-die through the tough early days of the PlayStation 3.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth On Steam Deck Is Surprisingly Playable But Kind Of Ugly

2024’s highly anticipated (and very good) Final Fantasy VII Rebirth broke out of its PS5 containment cell to emerge on PC on January 23, 2025. Here, the open-world RPG ostensibly improves its arguably disappointing technical performance and presentation issues on console by way of more powerful...

We’re two weekends into January. How’s everyone’s 2025 going? Have you kept up with your New Year’s resolutions?

Remember when Activision was publishing other games besides Call of Duty?

Every Official 'Kotaku Review' Of 2024
30.12.2024
Writing a review is a tall order. Especially at a place like Kotaku, where we have a whole headline format meant to declare our “definitive” word on a game, movie, or show. It can come off as if we’re putting an authoritative stamp of approval or disapproval on whatever we’re critiquing, which...
New Game Is Basically LittleBigPlanet 4

Thank God Naughty Dog Is Doing Something Other Than The Last Of Us
13.12.2024
I love The Last of Us and Uncharted, but I would also be content to never see another game in those series again. After all, for nearly 20 years now, Naughty Dog has been exclusively developing games in these same two franchises. Wild to think about, right? The first Uncharted game’s development...
