Someone Created An Evil Minecraft Mod That Camouflages Creepers
25.4.2021
Most mods I download or see add helpful features or neat new elements, like a cool weapon or better sound effects. However, not all mods are helpful or fun. Some mods are downright evil, like this new Minecraft mod that uses different textures to hide Creepers based on what biome they are in. Read...
Let's Rank All The Doom Games, From Worst To Best
24.4.2021
1993’s Doom is one of the most important, popular, and influential games ever made, and it spawned a whole franchise of (mostly) great shooters. To put it another way: Doom is very good. But even the best franchises have high points and low points.Read more
I Have Backlog Anxiety
23.4.2021
We at Kotaku have designated April as Backlog Month, in which we, in light of a looming dearth of new video game releases, turn our attention toward the games that we have wanted to play but missed. But unlike my colleagues, I’m having a problem—I have no idea what to do for Backlog Month, and it’s...
Listen To Gilbert Gottfried Mispronounce Some Mortal Kombat Names

Disco Elysium Was Its Incredible Narrator's First Voice Acting Gig
23.4.2021
Narration plays a huge role in Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, the spiraling detective simulator that was recently updated for consoles. As such, one might expect the man chosen to lend his pipes to such a project to be some sort of master thespian, or at least a veteran voiceover artist. But...
Sometimes You Just Have To Let Backlog Games Go
23.4.2021
Most of us will probably never play every game we own right now, let alone all the others we’ll buy or download in the future. In that sense, backlogs are like the universe: infinitely expanding and confounding to physicists. Sometimes you just have to make peace—or force yourself to make...
What Are You Playing This Weekend?
23.4.2021
The weekend is about slowly and joylessly working through our backlog, somehow dripping with sweat and covered with coal dust. Where did all this sweat-enhancing coal dust come from? Read more
Opening Osaka's Super Nintendo World Last Month Seems Like A Mistake
23.4.2021
On March 18, Shigeru Miyamoto appeared at the Super Nintendo World opening at Universal Studios Japan. For the photos, he seems to have briefly removed his mask, which was probably safe. However, in light of the ensuing state of emergency, the photos reflect poorly on the seriousness of...
Epic Games Store začal prodávat i aplikace pro Windows
23.4.2021
Sice mu ještě chybí nákupní košík, achievementy, uživatelské profily a další funkce svého hlavního rivala, od Steamu však kopíruje i jednu méně podstatnou věci. Řeč je o Epic Games Storu a centru pro stahování a aktualizaci aplikací.

One Of The Best WW2 Games Is Now Even Better
23.4.2021
I reviewed Unity of Command II a couple years back and, a few quibbles aside, found it to be one of the most interesting and innovative turn-based tactics games I had ever played. It’s now back with a major expansion, and those quibbles are in the firing line.Read more
Civilization 6 Update Lets You Pet Dogs, But Not Cats
23.4.2021
The latest major patch for Civilization 6 dropped this week, and there was a great new addition: you can finally pet the dog! Petting cats, however? Firaxis has some strong opinions there.Read more

Last Stop's Meant To Feel Like A Playable TV Show
23.4.2021
You’d think a game featuring mysterious green magic swirling in the London underground would be all about weird stuff. But Last Stop—at least from what I’ve seen of it so far—is first and foremost a game about people.Read more
Mortal Kombat 2021: The Kotaku Movie Review
23.4.2021
As I said last month following a preview of the film’s first 12 minutes, the new Mortal Kombat movie starts off strong. The opening battle between the men who would become Sub-Zero and Scorpion is one of my favorite cinema moments of the year. The remaining 98 minutes? Not so much. The fights...
Clone Hero Is So Much Fun I Don't Mind The Carpal Tunnel
23.4.2021
As the last of the notes disappeared from the screen, I put my fake, plastic guitar down to look at my hands. They were shaking, and my fingers were curled as if they were still wrapped around the fretboard. I felt pain twisting around my wrist and creeping into my finger joints. Still, I wore...
The Nier Replicant Remaster Does Many Good Things And One Awful Thing
23.4.2021
I played the original Nier back in 2010 and thoroughly enjoyed it despite the main character being a hideous troll of an old man. Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139…, with the handsome younger hero originally exclusive to Japan, looks, plays, and feels better overall, save the unfortunate inclusion...
