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

20.9.2023
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...

Ahsoka Episode 6 Review: The Threads Of Destiny

20.9.2023
If last week’s episode of Ahsoka—which featured lengthy, surreal scenes centered on Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano—was showrunner Dave Filoni catering to both Clone Wars and prequel fans, then the newest episode, “Far, Far Away,” is for Rebels loyalists. But not just Rebels loyalists, as Ahsoka...

Cyberpunk 2077 - Phantom Liberty: The Kotaku Review

20.9.2023
Even as Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty expansion tells a new, mostly standalone story, there are multiple points throughout when V, the protagonist of CD Projekt Red’s long-troubled RPG, reflects on the job that got them into this mess: the heist on Konpeki Plaza. While Cyberpunk 2077 and...

In A Year Of Big Games, Sea Of Stars Is Refreshingly Small

19.9.2023
There are a lot of games to play in 2023, so many that right after I beat Sea of Stars, the new indie RPG inspired by genre classics like Chrono Trigger, I immediately turn my attention to Baldur’s Gate 3. The switch reflects a jarring sea change in the design of role-playing games: after...

New Mortal Kombat Is A $70 Mess On Switch

18.9.2023
Following a paid “early access” launch, WB and NetherRealm Studios’ newest Mortal Kombat game, confusingly named Mortal Kombat 1, is out now on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. And it’s that Switch version of the fighting game that is being heavily criticized online by players...

The Crew Motorfest Is A Wackier, More Frustrating Forza Horizon

15.9.2023
The Crew is a weird franchise. The first game was focused on a story involving car gangs and criminals. The second game kept the map from the first—a scaled-down recreation of the United States—but ditched the narrative and focused on exploration and adding more types of vehicles to operate....

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - The Teal Mask: The Kotaku Review

14.9.2023
I’ve put over 120 hours into last November’s Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and I think at some point between then and now, I must have mentally suppressed just how poorly these open-world Switch games run. Either that, or their first DLC, The Teal Mask, is somehow worse at holding itself together...

Ahsoka Series Episode 5 Review: The Ghost Of Anakin Skywalker

13.9.2023
Ahsoka episode 5 is here, something we—and by “we” I mean Clone Wars fans, Anakin Skywalker apologists, and Star Wars nostalgists—have been awaiting for a very long time. Will Anakin get redemption? Will Ahsoka get closure? Will the live-action version of this thing we’ve seen before crackle with...

Assassin's Creed Mirage Could Be Great News For Old-School Fans

12.9.2023
Previews for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the thirteenth game in the Assassin’s Creed series and first since 2020’s Valhalla, released early on September 12, and they suggest a long-awaited return to the historical fiction series’ roots. That could come as good news—in the 16 years since the first...

NBA 2K24 Just Launched And It’s Already The Second-Worst Rated Game On Steam

12.9.2023
Steam has proclaimed Blizzard’s Overwatch 2 and 2K Sports’ NBA 2K24 the first and second worst games of the year, respectively. As of September 12, 165,573 of Overwatch’s 183,780 total Steam reviews are negative, and 3,135 of 3,523 reviews for NBA 2K24 are also negative. Since 2K24 only released...

This Persona-Inspired Dating Sim's Ending Is Worth The Bumpy Ride

11.9.2023
Eternights, a hack-and-slash dating sim by Studio Sai, wears its Persona inspirations on its sleeve. When I played the game for the first time earlier this year at Summer Game Fest, I said its action combat felt flimsy and its characters seemed generic, though I was at least interested to see...

FTX Looking to Recover Millions Paid to Athletes and Sports Clubs

10.9.2023
Advisers working for FTX have analyzed if some payments made by the failed crypto exchange to sports stars and organizations can be returned. The money went to celebrity athletes, including basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal, and sports teams like the NBA’s Miami Heat and Formula 1’s Mercedes under...

FLCL: Grunge Is An Anime No One Asked For And Its Premiere Doesn’t Help Much

7.9.2023
FLCL, otherwise known as Fooly Cooly, is uniquely a product of the early 2000s, something that comes through in its provocative art direction, its hectic action sequences, and its unforgettable alternative rock soundtrack. It’s also a cult classic, known for its disorienting fever-dream-esque story...

Fae Farm: The Kotaku Review

6.9.2023
I sometimes hide disappointment behind a meek observation that, well, “it isn’t for me,” but I’m sure that Dauntless developer Phoenix Labs’ life sim role-playing game Fae Farm, out on Switch and PC on September 8, is for me. Calm and uncomplicated “cozy gaming” is heavily associated with women...
