Microsoft is still working hard to court indie games.

29.4.2024
We’ve gotten some Lego sets based on video games over the last few years. Stuff like the Atari 2600 set, or all the Super Mario Bros. playsets featuring various characters and obstacles. But none of them are as cool as this fan-made Lego set that turns Tetris into a playable tabletop game.Read more

Final Fantasy 16: The Best Ways To Farm AP And EXP Fast
29.4.2024
Final Fantasy 16 streamlines many of the RPG elements typically seen in the Final Fantasy series, but you’ll still need to grind to max out Clive’s stats. Initially, this looks like a daunting task. And as of The Rising Tide DLC, you’ll have two more ability sets to master on top of an expanded...
Kingdom Hearts Movie Reportedly In The Works
29.4.2024
Kingdom Hearts, Square Enix’s Disney x Final Fantasy crossover, has been around so long it’s surprising we haven’t gotten some kind of animated series or film before now.

Recall Initiated For Mario Kart Ride-On Racers After Stuck Accelerators Cause Multiple Crashes
26.4.2024
Tesla was recently forced to recall every Cybertruck it’s ever built — all 3,878 of them — because the cover on the accelerator pedal could come loose, causing unintended acceleration. As it turns out, though, you don’t even need to be old enough to get your driver’s license to deal with unintended...
The Knuckles TV Show Has A Wild Reference To Sonic ‘06
26.4.2024
I didn’t love the Knuckles show, but as a long-time Sonic fan, one of its six episodes stuck out to me for a few reasons. One, it’s easily the most representative of the show’s problems with excluding its titular hero, but it also drops a huge lore bomb in the wildest way possible. It all ties into...

Legendary mangaka Akira Toriyama, character designer for Chrono Trigger and creator of the Dragon Ball series, passed away in March 2024. He was just 68 years old. Though he’s gone now, publisher Bandai Namco has shared a note Toriyama wrote in January 2024 about developer ILCA’s Sand Land,...
Another Crab’s Treasure: The Kotaku Review
25.4.2024
I think most of us are constantly trying our hardest to fill the Dark Souls and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice-shaped holes in our lives. They’re simply some of the greatest games ever, and no one can really be blamed for seeking more of them. Time and time again, studios have tried their hands...
Palworld, As Told By Steam Reviews
25.4.2024
It’s been long enough that we can probably stop calling Palworld “Pokémon With Guns,” right? Pocketpair’s monster-taming survival game has amassed millions of players, all while remaining legally distinct enough that The Pokémon Company’s lawyers haven’t come after them. But the jokes about...
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door's Remake Is Looking Picture Perfect
25.4.2024
Nintendo might be stomping around the internet, crushing all joy in its path, but it still knows how to make a cracking game. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door was absolutely one of those, and is looking like it will be all over again in five minutes of new footage from this year’s upcoming...

Stellar Blade: The Kotaku Review
24.4.2024
In many ways, Stellar Blade is awesome. The action is awesome, the soundtrack is awesome, the world is awesome. However, when you peel back the curtain just a bit and peer behind all the flash and style, you find that Shift Up’s character action game can also be quite tedious. It’s a game...

Fans Divided After Learning Metaphor: ReFantazio Won’t Have Romance
23.4.2024
Metaphor: ReFantazio, the upcoming RPG from developer Atlus’ Persona team, will bring in a lot of elements from its predecessor when it launches in October.

11 Things We Learned From The Metaphor: Refantazio Showcase
23.4.2024
Metaphor: Refantazio is the next game from the Persona leads at Atlus, and while it has some similarities to the franchise (it’s a turn-based, social sim-driven RPG), it’s adapting a lot of those concepts into a medieval fantasy setting rather than a modern-day high school. On April 22, Atlus held...
What Does FF7 Rebirth’s Luck Stat Do? (And How To Make Cait Sith Broken)
23.4.2024
As an RPG, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has a number of character stats that influence various aspects of a battle. Luck is perhaps one of the less understood ones. Not only is it an attribute worth raising, but certain characters, like Cait Sith in particular, can benefit from a high Luck stat...
