31.1.2024
What started off as a relatively obscure survival game known colloquially as “Pokémon With Guns” has officially become the biggest third-party Game Pass launch of all time, as Palworld has reached 19 million players in just under two weeks. That’s a lot of people catching legally distinct...
Granblue Fantasy: Relink Has The Best Demo In Recent Memory
31.1.2024
Before multiple friends of mine went out of their way to sing the praises of Granblue Fantasy: Relink to me, I had no interest in the RPG. But with such energetic recommendations, I couldn’t ignore the new title from developer Cygames, set to release on February 1 for PlayStation and...

Everything We Know About Princess Peach: Showtime!
31.1.2024
In just a couple of months, Princess Peach: Showtime! will give us a standalone Peach game, rather than relegating the princess to the role of side character in yet another Super Mario Bros. title. We haven’t gotten a solo Peach game since 2005 (and that one was pretty shallow and insulting),...

Palworld Mods Turn ‘Pokémon With Guns’ Into ‘Digimon With Guns’
31.1.2024
While the Palworld mod that turns every critter in Pocketpair’s survival game into a Pokémon has been hit with Nintendo’s banhammer, that hasn’t stopped fans from modding the game to feature characters from other monster-taming series. Digimon mods are starting to pop up to replace Palworld’s...

Granblue Fantasy Relink: The Kotaku Review
31.1.2024
“That seems familiar.” It’s a phrase I said to myself a dozen times or more in the first two hours of Cygames’ Granblue Fantasy Relink. When a giant monster attacked my boat during the prologue. When I realized my sidekick was a tiny, flying mascot with a high-pitched voice and room...
5 Years Later, I Still Haven’t Emotionally Recovered From Kingdom Hearts 3
31.1.2024
Like almost any child born in the ‘90s, I was obsessed with all things Disney. When Mulan came out on VHS I would watch it, rewind it, then immediately watch it again. There was only one other thing I’d obsessively spend that much time on: Final Fantasy. After my introduction to Final Fantasy...
Don’t Sleep On Tekken 8’s Story Mode
30.1.2024
Tekken 8 has been out since January 26 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. While you might be tempted to jump straight into its online matches, which you’re not prepared for—trust me—you should check out the game’s story mode first. Not only does it introduce you to many of Tekken...
Destiny 2 Is Getting Mass Effect Outfits, And They’re A Slay
30.1.2024
I don’t play Destiny 2, but after hearing Bungie and BioWare are collaborating to bring Mass Effect cosmetics to the game, I’m more tempted to jump in than I’ve been in the decade since its release. Will wearing Liara T’Soni’s cunty lab coat in Bungie’s MMO shooter fill the Mass Effect-shaped hole...
Palworld’s Pokémon Modders Return With Sarcastic Non-Infringing Mod
30.1.2024
Palworld, and the infamous mod that changed its Pokémon-like creatures to actual Pokémon, have entered some sort of Inception-style vortex of copyright-violating complexity. After Nintendo DMCAd the living juices out of ToastedShoes’ mod, the group has returned, their work adapted, to now fill...
Get Final Fantasy Creator’s Lost Masterpiece For $8 On Xbox
30.1.2024
It seems like everytime a new mainline Final Fantasy game is released, the first criticism is that it doesn’t capture the same spirit as classic entries in the franchise. And while every new entry has its defenders, there is a general notalgia for the age when series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi...
Persona 3 Reload Finally Realizes Men And Women Can Be Friends
30.1.2024
One of my biggest complaints with the original Persona 3 was that, even if I just wanted to be friends with any of the girls in my party, the game’s social sim elements required you to enter a romantic relationship if you reached the end of their route. When this became clear to me, I stopped...

Indie Classic Celeste Just Got A Surprise (Kinda) Sequel
30.1.2024

Persona 3 Reload Does Away With The Original’s Transphobia
30.1.2024
Persona 3 Reload is a mostly faithful recreation of the 2006 RPG. There are new social sim elements, new abilities, and a handful of quality-of-life changes, but by and large, it’s the same story about high schoolers killing monsters with the power of friendship. However, after playing through...
Persona 3 Reload: The Kotaku Review
30.1.2024
Persona 3 was always the best one. Persona 3 Reload, the from-the-ground-up remake of the 2006 supernatural, social sim-driven RPG, just eliminates any doubt. A complete visual overhaul, new mechanics, and new music all reinforce what made the original a stellar, poignant, and radical game for...

Nearly seven years after the release of NieR:Automata, fans are still clamoring for a third entry in the series helmed by Yoko Taro. While we are all eagerly awaiting another AAA console game in the DrakenNier universe, it’s easy to forget that a sequel is already available to play—but it won’t...
