Here's What Bloodborne Looks Like As A Diablo-Style Action-RPG
6.11.2024
We might never get a proper Bloodborne remake, or even a current-gen remaster, but that hasn’t stopped fans from continuing to experiment with their own spin-offs of FromSoftware’s dark fantasy action game. The latest is called Bloodborne Top Down Arena, and it’s exactly what it sounds like:...
Elden Ring Players Are Split On Whether The DLC’s Bosses Are BS Or Not
25.6.2024
Elden Ring has once again found itself at the center of a huge discourse around video game difficulty and I’m already mostly bored of it. Not only do we keep having the same conversation, but it often feels like the wrong conversation, too. However, there’s a wrinkle in this latest round that...
Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree Has A Freak Straight Out Of Bloodborne
13.5.2024
The team at FromSoftware is really good at making the most fucked-up creatures imaginable. Some of the stuff that team has fit into its games are utter nightmares ripped out of the deep dark recesses of the human mind. Parts of its catalog, like Bloodborne, have explicitly leaned into that haunting...

Stellar Blade Previews Say It's More Sekiro Than Bayonetta
27.3.2024
A free demo for Stellar Blade, developer Shift Up’s character-action PS5 exclusive, will go live on March 29. Ahead of its imminent release, some gaming publications got early hands-on time with roughly two hours of the game, which contains the first level and its respective boss. Based...
Dataminer Discovers Alternate Elden Ring Intro
11.3.2024
I thought we were done with the base Elden Ring narrative and, instead, had moved onto figuring out the Shadow of the Erdtree clues director Hidetaka Miyazaki left behind. But it turns out that FromSoftware’s magnum opus really is an endless treasure trove of cool lore and interesting stories, as...
Shadow Of The Erdtree Is The Sekiro DLC We Never Got
28.2.2024
If you thought you were getting through Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC unscathed because you have a 200-hour file and an NG+ character, Hidetaka Miyazaki has recently assured you’ve got another thing coming. Speaking to Famitsu, whose interview was translated via Reddit and reported...
Meet The Early Lies Of P Mini-Boss That’s Terrifying Players
21.9.2023
Lies of P, the punishing Soulslike about Pinocchio looking for his dad Geppetto, has plenty of tough enemies waiting to meet you. They’re all terrifying, ranging from a poison-imbued slug beast to a dude who literally thinks he’s God, but there’s one mini-boss who sucks so much I can’t wait to meet...
Lies Of P: The Kotaku Review
20.9.2023
Lies of P frustrates me. The first Soulslike from developers Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio, this gothic action-RPG keeps kicking my ass no matter how many times I level up. It’s aggravating. And yet, I keep pulling myself from the comfort of my Starfield spaceship to descend into the chaos...
Armored Core Is So Back And It's Awesome
28.8.2023
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon marks the cult-favorite mech series’ long-awaited return after a 10-year hiatus, and it’s been incredible to watch so far. The community is alive and well, trading broken builds and sexy emblem designs, and new players are having their confidence checked by...
Lies Of P Is Giving Steampunk Bloodborne With 60 FPS Performance
15.6.2023
FromSoftware’s Bloodborne will probably linger in your mind when playing Lies of P. While the similarities are obvious, the Pinocchio Chalamet-led Soulslike is more than just a xerox of the 2015 Victorian-era masterpiece, and the recent demo makes it clear that developer Round8 Studio is more...
Here's What An Armored Core VI Boss Fight Looks Like
14.6.2023
I got to see Armored Core VI in action last week, and while the game appears to be staying true to the mech action series’ roots—featuring quick combat and lots of customization—there are also some things that fans of Dark Souls, Sekiro, and FromSoftware’s other, more recent games will be happy...

FromSoftware’s Next Game Almost Done, Staffing Up For ‘Several’ New Projects
24.6.2022
Elden Ring finally released just a few months ago, topping the charts ever since, but FromSoftware doesn’t appear to be slowing down. The Dark Souls studio is already hiring for “multiple” new games, and director Hidetaka Miyazaki reports in a new interview that one of them is already close...
PlayStation’s Big Summer Sale Is On, And It’s Actually Not Bad
22.6.2022
At this point, it almost seems silly to pay full price for a PlayStation game. Fresh on the heels of one big sale for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Sony has kicked off another. It’s not as good as last month’s, but it’s not bad, especially for those who’ve been holding off on some of the bigger...

Elden Ring Fans Restore Cut Quests Where You Get Everyone Drunk, Learn Their Secrets
11.4.2022
Noted Souls YouTuber Lance McDonald has uncovered some, hm, intoxicating content that was cut from Elden Ring’s final build fairly late into development from the looks of it.

Elden Ring: The Kotaku Review
24.3.2022
I spend too much time, at least for someone with only 33 years on his odometer, thinking about legacy. I find myself overly concerned with what I’ve accomplished and what I’ll leave behind, especially in comparison to other people—both successful and otherwise. As such, while playing FromSoftware’s...
Dark Souls Player Beats Game By Throwing Poop At Bosses
14.3.2022
Dark Souls gives players a lot of leeway in how they want to approach its challenges, but I don’t think even the developers at FromSoftware envisioned someone someday beating the game with a bunch of poop.Read more
