Lords Of The Fallen Reboot Is Sounding Like A Solid Soulslike
11.8.2023
Lords of the Fallen was already a game, one that came out nearly 10 years ago by developer Deck13 (Atlas Fallen) and publisher CI Games. It was fine, but felt too much like a lackluster facsimile of FromSoftware’s Dark Souls formula to have much of an identity of its own. CI Games is back, though...

Baldur's Gate 3 Puts Luck Ahead Of Fun
11.8.2023

Baldur’s Gate 3: The Kotaku Review
10.8.2023
Baldur’s Gate 3 has been propped up as a big-budget, computerized approximation of a tabletop role-playing game, but that’s not entirely accurate. Sure, as an RPG rooted in Dungeons & Dragons’ Fifth Edition ruleset, complete with dice rolls, big decisions, and enough customization options...

Atlas Fallen: The Kotaku Review
9.8.2023
Atlas Fallen is a classic jack-of-all-trades, master of none. It’s an open-world action RPG Metroidvania platformer with co-op that tries to do so many things it rarely does any of them well. That doesn’t make it a bad game, just, more often than not, a forgettable one. I had some fun surfing...
