Far Cry 3 was released over a decade ago, and while it supported achievements on console and Ubisoft’s own PC launcher, it didn’t include any Steam achievements. But as Ubisoft returns to Steam, it’s also going back and adding these missing challenges to older games, including Far Cry 3. And even...

17.1.2025
Hideki Kamiya, the director behind Platinum Games’ Bayonetta series who’s now working on Okami 2 under a new studio, has never been one to hold back. The latest targets of his ire are Switch 2 leakers who basically beat Nintendo to revealing the console weeks ago. Kamiya used the occasion of...
Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii Hands-On: The Next Act In Gaming’s Greatest Variety Show
16.1.2025
As someone who has only casually engaged with the Yakuza / Like a Dragon series, I’m fascinated with its ability to sway in and out of different genres and subgenres while still maintaining the wacky soap-opera core that has made it so beloved. Yakuza has shapeshifted from a crime drama beat-em-up...

9.1.2025
In 2025, the idea of releasing a paid, online-only multiplayer shooter seems very risky, as we’ve seen plenty of them fail. But Remedy, the developers behind Control and Alan Wake, have a plan to make sure their first multiplayer game—FBC: Firebreak—succeeds and doesn’t flop like Concord...

Toughen Up Like A Dragon For This Yakuza-Themed Astro Bot Trophy
9.1.2025
There are a lot of unique, one-off trophies to earn in Astro Bot if you’re trying to unlock the game’s platinum trophy. Some of them are worded in a way that makes you stop and think for a bit, which isn’t the most helpful for us digital completionists. For instance, if you’re stuck on...

Ubisoft's New Game Has Rayman! And Blood Dragon! And NFTs!
20.12.2024
Remember NFTs? They were this hilariously stupid and obvious scam from 2021, where people—and you’ll laugh—sold the “rights” to jpegs! Yeah, I know, those things you can right-click and make an infinite number of. So silly. Anyway, three years after that all collapsed, Ubisoft has launched a game...

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...

During tonight’s Game Awards aka a large trailer-a-thon (that’s also a game awards show) Fumito Ueda showed off a small glimpse of a still-untitled sci-fi-looking game featuring a big mech, a evil looking cloud of dark energy and a person in a cool space suit. Read more

Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Have A 'Canon Mode' For Animus Purists
12.12.2024

Avatar Is Getting The PS5 Pro Option Players Have Been Begging For
10.12.2024
The PlayStation 5 Pro has been out for a month now but still has some issues, with certain enhanced games like Dragon Age: The Veilgaurd and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor actually looking uglier in various ways due to resolution upscaling. Ubisoft is now the first game maker to announce an option...
Indiana Jones And The Great Circle: The Kotaku Review
10.12.2024
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is not what I was expecting. My expectation and fear was that developer MachineGames’ AAA action-adventure adaptation of the popular franchise starring Harrison Ford would play mostly like Uncharted, but in the ‘30s and with more Nazis. Thankfully, Great Circle...
