Dragon Age: The Veilguard's Launch Week Went Pretty Much The Way We Imagined It Would
3.11.2024
It took 10 years to get here, but we finally have Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the fourth entry in BioWare’s beloved (but divisive) fantasy RPG series. The sequel is a direct continuation of 2014's Inquisition, and it’s made the full shift to action RPG. Your mileage may vary on that, but I loved...

Life Is Strange: Double Exposure: The Kotaku Review
30.10.2024
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
29.10.2024
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
29.10.2024
Ys X: Nordics marks the tenth mainline game in the beloved action-RPG franchise, extraordinarily now in its 37th year.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard: The Kotaku Review
28.10.2024
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
24.10.2024
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
22.10.2024
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
21.10.2024
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
21.10.2024
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
15.10.2024
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...
