Detective Pikachu Returns: The Kotaku Review
10.10.2023
Detective Pikachu Returns, the new Switch adventure from Nintendo, is not great at a lot of things. It’s incredibly simple for an adventure game, only looks about as good as the original 3DS game did seven years ago, and even when it has its own take on things, a lot of its big twists have been...

Forza Motorsport Feels So Damn Good
4.10.2023
I love racing games, but I’m not really a racing game kind of guy. What that means is I enjoy getting beyond the wheel of a flashy car, whether it’s a half-million-dollar Ferrari or a souped-up Subaru hatchback, and trying to hug turns while grazing past the competition. What I don’t particularly...

4.10.2023
The path leading up to the October 4, 2022 release of Overwatch 2 was tough to navigate, like a half-cleared trail in a dense wood. The messaging around the game was winding and discombobulating (it wasn’t clear if it was a standalone sequel, if the original Overwatch would shut down, if/when...
Assassin’s Creed Mirage: The Kotaku Review
4.10.2023
Assassin’s Creed Mirage isn’t like the past few games in the series. It’s not like Odyssey, and it’s not like Origins. Those games both evolved the series into something bigger, adding hundreds of side-quests and newfound RPG elements, like loot drops and enemies with levels. Those games were fun....

Starfield: The Kotaku Review
28.9.2023
As my spaceship emerges from interstellar travel to orbit a once-distant alien world, I know that once I’m down on its surface, it won’t feel like a world at all.

Cocoon: The Kotaku Review
28.9.2023
There was a moment near the end of Cocoon when my brain could not keep up with the game. Like being curled up in a wave and then flipped head over heels against the surf, my mind sluggishly tried to work backwards what precisely had just occurred. Where did I just come from? How did I get here?...
Ahsoka Episode 7 Review: Very Much A Star Wars Show

Mortal Kombat 1: The Kotaku Review
22.9.2023
I’m not a fighting game expert. I can remember a couple of combos and special moves for my favorite characters, but that’s about as far as I get when it comes to games like Tekken, Street Fighter, and Soul Calibur. However, one series, Mortal Kombat, holds my attention more than any other because...
Lies Of P: The Kotaku Review

Lies of P frustrates me. The first Soulslike from developers Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio, this gothic action-RPG keeps kicking my ass no matter how many times I level up. It’s aggravating. And yet, I keep pulling myself from the comfort of my Starfield spaceship to descend into the chaos...
