Mars First Logistics Is A Deeply Funny Video Game

27.6.2023
Mars First Logistics, released last week into Early Access on Steam, is a game with a very simple setup. You are driving little robot vehicles around the surface of Mars, doing jobs for people, and those jobs involve you having to build your own cars in a way that gets the job done.Read more

I’m Not Even A Naruto Fan But The New Fighting Game Is Turning Me Into One

13.6.2023
I’m not even supposed to be writing this preview of Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. I told CyberConnect2 producer Masaya Yoshizawa that if he didn’t beat me in our demo match at Summer Game Fest I wouldn’t cover the game. I didn’t want him to go easy on me, an admitted Naruto...

That New Hawken Game Sucks

18.5.2023
Hey remember when a lot of people got excited that cult mech shooter Hawken was coming back from the dead? That was Monday! Now it’s Wednesday and I’m sad to say the excitement has been very short-lived.Read more

Crusader Kings III Has Gone RPG Mad, And I Love It

16.5.2023
There are two ways you can approach Crusader Kings III. On the one hand it’s a sprawling grand strategy game where you’re in control of a Kingdom’s entire economy, military, society and faith. On the other, it’s a big ol’ RPG.Read more

People Are Not Having A Great Time With Redfall

3.5.2023
Redfall, a vampire shooter out this week on Xbox and PC, was developed by Arkane Studios, the same team behind classics like Dishonored and Prey. It’s one of Microsoft’s first-party exclusives for 2023, a big release for the company’s Game Pass subscription service. And by most accounts,...

Terrascape Is A Lovely Little City-Builder

13.4.2023
The city-building genre is absolutely having a moment right now, whether at the big end of the market (Cities Skylines 2) or, more popularly, the smaller end (just look at Steam’s sales charts on any day of the week). Sliding effortlessly into this latter category is Terrascape, one of my favourite...

Frostpunk: The Board Game: The Kotaku Review

12.4.2023
I’ve reviewed a lot of board game adaptations of video games on this website, and with good reason: it’s the most intimate intersection of our board game and video game coverage. In nearly every case, the key consideration has been how does the board game feel compared to the original. What kind...

The Great War Tries Once Again To Bring WW1 To Video Games

31.3.2023
For such a momentous period in human history, the First World War has been relatively under-served by video games. Mostly because the defining theatre of the conflict—the nightmarish trench warfare of the Western Front—is almost impossible to recreate in the medium.Read more

Diablo IV’s Beta Has Us Kinda Obsessed With Hell

27.3.2023
Diablo IV’s open beta has finally come to an end, meaning we won’t get another opportunity to play the loot-grinding RPG until it drops on June 6. Now that most of everyone at Kotaku had the chance to check out Hell (or at least the emissaries from it you encounter in the early game), we decided...

The New Bayonetta Prequel Makes Up For 3's Bad Ending

20.3.2023
After suffering my way through Bayonetta 3’s final act, I’d all but written off any subsequent Bayonetta video game and moved on to greener character-action game pastures. While I still stand by the closing statement in my review that I’ll never replay Bayonetta 3 ever again, PlatinumGames’ prequel...

Inkulinati Is A Beautiful Tactics Game

9.3.2023
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve played a game drawn in the style of a centuries-old European manuscript in the last six months, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice. Right?Read more

15 Hours With Octopath Traveler II: Good But Disjointed Stories (So Far)

2.3.2023
I’ve had a rough go of it in Octopath Traveler II’s first few hours. As someone who loves RPG parties most when they feel like real units of friends and found family, Octopath’s anthology-like storytelling wasn’t doing it for me. Its eight playable characters felt like islands I had to walk to...

There Is No Saving Cyberpunk 2077

2.3.2023
Were it almost any other game from almost any other studio, Cyberpunk 2077's disastrous launch would have condemned it to the sales bins of history. Big AAA releases dropping with some bugs is one thing; big AAA releases being taken off the PlayStation Store because they were so broken...

This Surprise New Game Pass Gem Feels Like Moshing Through A Battlefield

27.1.2023
Have you ever caught yourself walking to the beat of a song you’ve got playing? If so, you’ll probably vibe pretty hard with Hi-Fi Rush. I’ve put a few hours into Tango Gameworks’ rhythm-action game, and I’m delighted at how satisfying it is to gel with a game that more or less asks you to dance...

One Piece Odyssey Is A Good Anime Game But A Meh JRPG So Far

18.1.2023
Yo ho! One Piece Odyssey, the first turn-based RPG game in the storied franchise, has been a bit of a mixed bag in its early moments. While the game knocks it out of the park with how it portrays the dynamic of the lovable Straw Hat crew, the game’s “fully blown RPG” mechanics are a bit of a bore...

The Block Is The Perfect (Tiny) City-Builder

21.12.2022
If 2022 is going to be the year of anything, it’s been the year of the city-builder, a strategy sub-genre that has exploded in popularity recently, especially on the PC. While most efforts are focused on sprawling urban landscapes and Viking outposts, and others make city-builders with even more...
