8.11.2024
The original Life is Strange, from developer Don’t Nod, launched as an episodic, story-driven adventure game published by Square Enix in 2015. That’s nearly a decade ago, surprisingly enough, and it’s making me feel old, as I remember seeing the previews and press screens of the game back in...

There are certain parts of nature that inherently feel scarier than others. A dark forest, sheer cliffs, open bodies of water.

$30 Will Get You More Than 30 Games In This Incredible Capcom Bundle
9.8.2024
It’s been wonderful watching Capcom flourish over the past several years. Following a bit of a downturn in the early ‘10s with games like the floundering Lost Planet series and DMC: Devil May Cry, as well as the criminally overlooked Asura’s Wrath, things were looking a little dire for the legacy...
This Innovative Puzzle RPG Might Be A Perfect Video Game
22.7.2024

Harold Halibut: The Kotaku Review
15.4.2024
As I play through the sci-fi adventure that is Harold Halibut, I am often reminded of walking through an aquarium. It’s partially because the game’s gorgeous environments are submerged in, but it’s also because I feel a childlike frustration at the events unfolding in front of me. Like a...
