The Advance Wars Remake Is Tactically Satisfying But Narratively Toothless

2.5.2023
I’m not a prude about war games, but real war is so horrifying that I always need some abstraction to get into it. The outlandish outfit designs in Fire Emblem and the cat ears in Arknights create a bit of cognitive distance from the harsh realities of armed conflict I learned about in school...

Frostpunk: The Board Game: The Kotaku Review

12.4.2023
I’ve reviewed a lot of board game adaptations of video games on this website, and with good reason: it’s the most intimate intersection of our board game and video game coverage. In nearly every case, the key consideration has been how does the board game feel compared to the original. What kind...

The Great War Tries Once Again To Bring WW1 To Video Games

31.3.2023

16.3.2023

Company Of Heroes 3: The Kotaku Review

20.2.2023
My love for the original Company of Heroes knows no bounds. Indeed I’ve gone so far as to call it the perfect RTS, a blend of tactics, cover and terrain so meticulously-honed that for 17 years it has remained, undefeated, as the finest example of the genre.Read more

19.1.2023
Co-op shooter Deep Rock Galactic was first released on the PC back in 2018. It has a dedicated following online, and tons of loyal fans, but this is not a review of the video game. This is a review of the board game with, confusingly, the exact same name.Read more

Today is a sad day for card sharks who enjoy Gwent: The Witcher Card Game.

The Next Big D&D Experience Looks Like A Video Game, And That's A Problem

22.8.2022
Last week, Wizards of the Coast announced its plans for what the world’s most popular roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons, will look like in the next few years. Alongside a refresh of the rules (which Wizards promises will be fully compatible with every fifth edition book that’s been published...

Battlefield 2042 Killed My Favorite Game Mode

20.5.2022
As Battlefield 2042 continues to languish somewhere in the hell between “failed launch” and “whatever comes next”, developers DICE are making minor tweaks to the game in order to keep things running smoothly. Though I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of their latest effort.Read more

The Art Of Total War: Warhammer III

16.3.2022
Total War: Warhammer III had its highs and its lows, but one thing it got right throughout was its visuals, with a vibrant colour palette and imposing unit design truly doing the source material justice. So it’s a pleasure tonight to showcase some of the illustration and character work that went...

Controversial Steam Best Seller Ready Or Not Is An Unsettling SWAT Fantasy

6.1.2022
Ready or Not is a tactical horror game where you creep through sprawling mazes of American decay searching for violent suspects amidst cowering bystanders. Steam currently loves it, but after spending a few hours with it I can’t say I do. At its best it’s an admirably tense puzzle game punctuated...

Broken Arrow Is Trying The Whole Modern RTS Thing Again

15.12.2021
The RTS genre as we know it, or at least the popular perception of it, is dominated by its most traditional efforts, the kind of base-building-then-rush approach seen in everything from Command & Conquer to StarCraft. That’s not the only way to play an RTS, though.Read more

Company Of Heroes: The Kotaku Review

16.11.2021
I’ve reviewed a lot of video game adaptations as part of my board game coverage for Kotaku. As you’d expect, since this is first and foremost a video game website.
