5.6.2023
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse came out on June 2 to rave reviews and a box office weekend that trailed only The Super Mario Bros. Movie to become the second-largest of 2023 so far. There’s only one thing holding the movie back apparently: people can’t hear what the hell characters are saying...
15+ Games We Simply Must Install On Every New PC
7.4.2023
Every new PC requires the obligatory christening of your browser of choice, Steam, other game storefronts, and miscellaneous productivity apps (in my case, that’s Obsidian, VCV, Reaper, Guitar Pro, and Reason..new computer days are super busy for me) are obvious immediate downloads. But once you’ve...

5.4.2023
When you’re not getting lost in Resident Evil 4 remake protagonist Leon’s dreamy abs, you might find yourself trapped in an uncomfortable reality filled with puzzles—some difficult, and some simply annoying.

15 Things We Wish We Knew Before Playing The Resident Evil 4 Remake
30.3.2023
While some of Capcom’s newly released Resident Evil 4 remake is different than it was in 2005, including core and not-so-core (sorry, perverts!) gameplay mechanics, the horror game is still prepared to kick your ass. Read more
What We Loved And Hated About Destiny 2: Lightfall
17.3.2023
There was a lot of hype going into Lightfall, Destiny 2's big cyberpunk expansion. The reality has been much more muted, full of ups and downs, fun discoveries and tedious chores. Live-service games are unwieldy creatures to try and examine under a microscope, and Destiny remains one of...
These 5 Retro Games Hold Up Even Without The Nostalgia
16.3.2023
I spent most of my childhood fixated on free dress-up games and Animal Crossing so, now, when I play something someone older than me swears is the best game ever, I feel like I’ve already missed out on its magic. It can be hard to swallow outdated plot points and vintage polygons when modern gaming...

What Are Your Video Game Resolutions For 2023?
22.12.2022
The first thing anyone says in Edith Wharton’s 1924 novella “New Year’s Day” is “she was bad…always.” Though nothing I do will intrigue as much as Lizzie Hazeldean appalling Wharton’s fictionalized New York high society with her affair, “running out of the Fifth Avenue Hotel on New Year’s day with...
Zack Zwiezen’s Top 10 Games Of 2022
21.12.2022
2022 was a bit of an odd year for games. I’ve seen a lot of folks, including some fine people here at Kotaku, suggest 2022 was pretty bad on that front. I’ve spotted the opposite take, too! Personally, I’m squarely in the “2022 was a great year for games” camp. I mean, when I first started trying...

14.12.2022
Though it’s hard to say whether or not “Steam Deck” has become a household name yet, it certainly deserves such a status after an impressive introduction. Valve’s mini-PC has had a one-of-a-kind first year, one that might make other platforms envious. After various attempts at getting into...

If you, like me John Walker, are still fathoming your way through the lower echelons of Marvel Snap, there’s a good chance there are cards you’re clinging on to because they were working so well for you.

Overwatch 2's Lack Of Support Players Is Racking Up Wait Times, Fans Say
21.10.2022
Some people’s Overwatch 2 queue times are getting bad…really bad. And it’s mostly because no one wants to play support, according to a Blizzard forum post with over 450 replies (and approximately the rest of the internet).Read more
Saints Row CEO Sounds Kinda Disappointed About New Reboot's Sales
21.9.2022
While digital and physical sales of the Saints Row reboot hit a strong second place in both American and European markets, the open-world crime sim was denied first place by Madden NFL 23 and Grand Theft Auto V, respectively. While second place isn’t bad, the Saints Row reboot has actually been...

16.8.2022
Hope you got your fill playing the best game of 2020, aka Hades, because the next wave of Xbox Game Pass games are upon us and alas, some games are leaving, too. Although this month’s lineup of games is short on big-budget blockbusters, it has a few sleeper hit indie games you’d be wise to check...
Everything You Need To Know About The Weird New Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Class
12.8.2022
For those who love the grind, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is Borderlands heaven. For those who don’t, it’s a solid shooter that lacks the sharp hooks of a true-to-form live-service game. I imagine this dynamic will remain much the same in the wake of the game’s latest expansion, which adds the game’s...
