Concord Has One Big Thing Going For It And Lots Of Stuff Holding It Back
23.8.2024
Concord is a hero-based multiplayer shooter where you run around sci-fi maps on distant planets using pistols, cannons, fireballs and knives to obliterate opponents in familiar modes like “capture the point” and “kill stuff.” There’s nothing in it that’s surprised me or blown my mind, but it’s...
Three Hours With Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Has Me Thinking It Might Be A Great Immersive RPG
21.8.2024
There’s a fine line between medieval gameplay that’s historically accurate and medieval gameplay that’s fun. The overall reception to Kingdom Come: Deliverance indicates Warhorse Studios struck that balance well in 2018, but as noted in Kotaku’s review, plenty could be improved. After playing (the...
Snag The Entire Far Cry Series On The Cheap This Weekend
16.8.2024
First kicking off 20 years ago, the Far Cry games rank among Ubisoft’s most popular series and for good reason. The first-person shooter series is largely viewed as the tentpole franchise in which the developer and megapublisher consolidated the open-world model of games that became so ubiquitous...
The 4DX Movie Renaissance Is Upon Us, And It’s Fascinating
16.8.2024
A few weeks back, I left a screening of Twisters in 4DX (a multi-sensory experience in which your seat moves, water sprays in your face, wind whips your hair, and flashing lights mimic lightning) feeling like I had just ridden the wildest roller coaster at Six Flags. A giddy grin remained plastered...
Legacy Of Kain Collection Is Getting The Weirdest Port Ever
15.8.2024
The early Legacy of Kain games aren’t just interesting puzzle action RPGs full of demonic horrors and mysticism, they’re also perfect time capsules for a certain type of jaggy-edged ‘90s PlayStation game that’s currently riding a wave of nostalgic revival. Now who’s ready to play them on a neat...
The Best Places To Farm Blood Eagles In Fallout 76
6.8.2024
Is there anything more satisfying than running a Slugger build in Fallout 76, tracking down a few Blood Eagles, and stomping them into the dirt in exchange for sweet loot? It’s one of Appalachia’s little joys and, typically speaking, well worth the hunt. Blood Eagles scavenge fantastic loot for...
John Wick TV Series Announced, Doesn't Star John Wick
6.8.2024
Entertainment studio Lionsgate is going to expand its enormous John Wick franchise by spinning off a second TV series, one that continues directly from the end of John Wick 4.

House Of The Dragon Is A Master Class In Adaptation
29.7.2024
House of the Dragon, HBO’s Game of Thrones spin-off based on the 2018 novel Fire & Blood, is nearly done with its second season. The war between the Greens (Alicent Hightower and her Targaryen children) and the Blacks (Rhaenyra Targaryen and her supporters) kicked off at the end of the first...
This Fantastic Noir-Inspired Game Blends Blade Runner And BioShock
22.7.2024
In the first five minutes of the new cyberpunk noir game Nobody Wants to Die, the main character runs through a list of genre tropes in record time. He pounds down a bottle of pills, takes a swig of alcohol from his flask (while another unopened bottle of moonshine sits in the background), gets...
New Witcher 3 Mod Gives The Game A Full-Fledged Reputation System
19.7.2024
Modders of The Witcher 3 have only had official tools from developer CD Projekt Red for two months, but they’ve already made great use of them. One ambitious modder was able to recreate some of the first game’s map with the new tools only a day after they were released. More recently, a new mod...
Kotaku’s Weekend Guide: 5 Awesome Games We're Staying Indoors With
12.7.2024
Well, here we are, crossing over into the middle of June. Sorry, January. Damn it. I meant July. Things with the same starting letter screw me up every time (apologies to every Matt and Mike I’ve met). But hey, maybe old, stubborn, resistant-to-change habits can be convinced to take a hike and...
Kotaku’s Weekend Guide: 6 Great Games We’re Kicking Off July With
5.7.2024
July is here and so are its wonderfully (or not so wonderful) high temperatures. Here in the States, we just wrapped a holiday that feels…well, do I need to spell out how discordant and weird things are here right now? Probably not. Oh, hey, that’s right: Video games! Escapism isn’t always...

Pirate Brawler Planned For The OG Xbox Is Finally Launching 20 Years Later
17.6.2024
20 years ago, a third-person action-adventure pirate game called Age of Pirates: Captain Blood was announced via a short trailer at E3 2004. And then a lot of shit happened, leading to the game being delayed repeatedly in development and then protracted legal fights once it was finished. But...
This Vaporwave Skateboarding Game Is An Impressive Love Letter To The Sport
14.6.2024
Before any of the in-your-face vaporwave aesthetic of Skate Story has a chance to overflow my senses, I am struck by something surprising—the sound of skateboard wheels rolling across a slightly gravely surface. It sounds exactly like skateboarding should. It’s a small detail but one that...
The #3 Game On Steam Is Just A Picture Of A Banana
14.6.2024
Clicker games are inherently stupid, and the best ones lean in. That’s why Cookie Clicker is an all-time classic. Years of increasingly idiotic ideas piling on top of one another, but always boiling down to the core concept of clicking on a picture of a cookie. Well, Banana reduces this down to...
Wolfhound Is A Rad-Looking WWII Metroidvania Where You Kill Mutant Nazis
12.6.2024
There’s no shortage of Metroidvanias out there, but none of them are set in World War II and pit you against diabolic Nazi experiments. That’s the elevator pitch for Wolfhound, a surprise new retro-inspired project from Bit Kid, the developer of 2018's gorgeous pixel-art dungeon-scroller Chasm....
