Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound: The Kotaku Review
30.7.2025
The gaming world hasn’t talked enough about how it feels to get good at the original Ninja Gaiden for the NES. I mean, I get it, it’s a notoriously brutal example of “Nintendo Hard” difficulty. I still have nightmares about those endlessly respawning birds that boomerang relentlessly around...

It Took Me 10 Minutes To Hit A Paywall In The New Free-To-Play Pokémon Puzzle Game
23.7.2025
I know “free-to-play” is often a misnomer, and these games should actually be called “free-to-try,” but I haven’t played one that felt as blatant in its efforts to extract money from me as Pokémon Friends in a hot minute. The puzzle game/plush collector is cute and clearly geared toward young...

Off The Grid Is An Average Shooter Buried In Garbage
18.7.2025
I was called a “regurgitated cum bubble” within the first minutes of booting up Gunzilla’s free-to-play battle royale shooter, Off The Grid. And the crass insult wasn’t shouted by another player, but by an obnoxious soldier dude who is the game’s announcer. Things only got worse and weirder from...
The New RoboCop Game Is A Fun But Shallow Spin-Off
17.7.2025
RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business is a newly released standalone expansion to 2023's surprisingly excellent and charming RoboCop: Rogue City. And while this new RoboCop game is built on the foundation of Rogue City, it lacks a lot of what made the first game so compelling. Still, it is...
This Short And Sweet RPG Spins Up A Beautiful Deckbuilding Melody
17.7.2025
Fretless - The Wrath of Riffson is the kind of genre-blending mismatch that’s just crazy enough to work. A turn-based deck-building rhythm game clearly made by musicians with a care for the craft scratches an itch for me that a lot of more straightforward rhythm games don’t. Like Hi-Fi Rush before...

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4: The Kotaku Review
11.7.2025
I’m not sure heaven is real. But when I die, if there is a big oasis in the sky waiting for me, I’ll be happy to meet up with old family and friends. And then I’ll ask them where the room is that contains all the (good) Tony Hawk games. If heaven is truly paradise, a place where I’ll be happy...
