Mario & Luigi Returns After Nearly A Decade But Not To Universal Acclaim


2024 might end up being the last year of the Nintendo Switch’s lifespan before it’s replaced by something else. Yet looking at the console’s constant stream of new releases you wouldn’t realize that. In a year that already saw wonderfully charming titles like The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom...

Like A Dragon: Yakuza Is A Confused, Sometimes Visionary Mess


Amazon MGM’s Like A Dragon: Yakuza has the unenviable task of taking RGG Studio’s beloved Yakuza video game series and translating it into prestige television. The Yakuza games are as much studies of bizarre secondary characters and unlikely encounters as they are narrative-driven crime stories....

Life Is Strange: Double Exposure: The Kotaku Review


2015’s Life Is Strange was about a high-schooler, the supernaturally gifted Max Caulfield, but its power resided in something deeper than its protagonist’s youth and the setting of Blackwell Academy. I think that, for many of the millions of players it resonated with, Life Is Strange spoke to those...

I Hate Call Of Duty’s Launcher So Much


A few years ago, my best friends convinced me to play Call of Duty: Warzone, the series’ battle royale installment that had shot up the charts. While I was aware of it for work reasons, I’d largely sworn off the franchise about a decade prior, returning for brief stints and forays into the Black...

Here's Why You Should Make Action-RPG Ys X: Nordics Your First Ys Game


Ys X: Nordics marks the tenth mainline game in the beloved action-RPG franchise, extraordinarily now in its 37th year. Originally released in Japan in September 2023, Ys X now at last has a worldwide English-language release. And yet, despite all this, you’ve never played a Ys game! Let us convince...

Dragon Age: The Veilguard: The Kotaku Review


I admit, I’d grown cynical. Dragon Age has a well-established penchant for swapping out protagonists with each new game, and for treating one entry’s be-all, end-all conflicts as little more than narrative springboards that can largely be cast aside in the next. However, with 2014’s Inquisition,...

2023’s Best Narrative Game Just Got Even Better


When I play a smaller game that really has an effect on me, I’m usually cool with not getting more of it. The advantage of artful, smaller-scope projects is that they can concisely say what they need to say without being beholden to all the forever-game nonsense that infects the AAA space. However...

New Quiet Place Game Is Short, Scary, And A Perfect Halloween Treat


2018’s A Quiet Place film kicked off the ongoing horror franchise that is all about deadly alien monsters invading Earth and hunting down anything that makes too much noise, forcing humanity to be very quiet at all times or die. I’ve never seen the movies, so I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy the...

I Would Like To Join The Penguin’s Sofia Falcone-Led Mob


It seems impossible, but HBO’s excellent The Batman spin-off series, The Penguin, keeps getting better. Last week, we watched Cristin Milioti put on a masterclass as Sofia Falcone, learning how the scorned woman went from mafia princess to Arkham inmate to de facto head of the Falcone crime family...

Sonic X Shadow Generations: The Kotaku Review


People will no doubt call Sonic X Shadow Generations a “love letter” or “tribute” to Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic’s brooding rival who debuted back in 2001’s Sonic Adventure 2. But as a person who grew up seeing the black-and-red hedgehog as the emotional center of the franchise, it feels more like...

I'm So Happy Scare Tactics Is Back Just In Time For Halloween


20 years ago, SyFy (which was still known as the SciFi Channel) premiered a hidden camera prank show called Scare Tactics. The premise behind the series was placing real people into terrifying, often paranormal or bizarre situations, and then watching them react. I loved the show when I...

South Korea to Form Committee to Review Spot Crypto ETF Plans


South Korea is forming a 15-member public-private committee to address issues in the virtual asset market and explore cryptocurrency legislation. The committee will include government officials and representatives from the legal profession, academia, and the virtual asset industry. One of its...

Neva: The Kotaku Review


The wolf does in fact die in Neva, the new platform-adventure game from Nomada Studio. That’s not really a spoiler, as the game’s reveal trailer showed this very moment off and it’s the very first thing you’ll experience when you start playing. What you’ll be wondering for the next five hours...

Metaphor: ReFantazio’s Political Style And Substance Has Us Hooked


Metaphor: ReFantazio is the latest RPG from the minds of the Persona. Like its predecessors, Metaphor is a dense game with lots to do and talk about, from its Archetype class system to Atlus’ maturation as storytellers. There’s even something to be said about how cool it is to skate on your sword....
