I’m A Certified Star Wars Hater, But Jedi: Survivor Whips
10.5.2023
I don’t like Star Wars. No, I don’t mean in the “it’s just not for me,” way but in the “I actively dislike this highly-influential franchise and think it’s bad, actually” way. I find it philosophically detestable in its rigid view of its world and unwillingness to interrogate the oppressive systems...
Star Wars' Mantis Is Such A Good Ship
9.5.2023
In Respawn’s Jedi series, one of the constants across both games is the Mantis, a starship that’s kinda yours, but also not yours, but you use it enough that it may as well be. And I think, more than the combat or the jumping or the surprisingly Star Warsy tone of the games, it’s my favourite thing...

8.5.2023
If you attempt to skip past certain story elements in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the latest Force-powered action-adventure from Respawn Entertainment, you’re greeted with a funny little pop-up message warning you that the game may break.

Fans Are Embracing Cal’s Mullet In Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
3.5.2023
I still haven’t gotten around to playing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order or its new (apparently fraught) sequel Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, but the more I see of the game’s extensive fashion and customization options for protagonist Cal Kestis, the more tempted I feel. However, one Jedi rebel hairstyle...
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s Most Annoying Boss Returns In The New Sequel
2.5.2023
In Star Wars, death is just a detour. A minor inconvenience. If you are famous or well-liked, odds are you’ll be back, either through the magic of prequels or through just being straight-up brought back to life to get fans all excited. And this tradition continues in the recently released Star Wars...
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Might Include The First Canonical Toilet In A Star Wars Game
1.5.2023
There I was, exploring the large hub world of Koboh, the first planet you visit after the opening section of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. I had found myself inside a grungy cantina on the planet.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: The Kotaku Review
26.4.2023
The last several decades of Star Wars video games have been spotty, to say the least. 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was a rare standout, a big adventure from one of the world’s biggest publishers that still felt bold and experimental. A lot has happened since then, and now a sequel, Star Wars...

The Internet's Freaking Out Over Dead Island 2’s Incredible Gore
24.4.2023
Dead Island 2 was always going to be a gory game. The first Dead Island, released in 2011, played like a schlocky, uninhibited horror B-movie, and Dead Island 2 developer Deep Silver made butchery a priority soon after it began working on the sequel in 2019. Blood and brains are also usually...
