21.12.2023

Pokémon Scarlet And Violet: The Indigo Disk: The Kotaku Review
14.12.2023
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s second DLC, The Indigo Disk, is a far less damning encapsulation of the base game than The Teal Mask expansion.

Final Fantasy XVI's Leviathan DLC Lets Players Escape The Game's Gross Gray Sky
14.12.2023
Final Fantasy XVI is a wonderful game with many flaws. One of the low-key biggest is a grimy, dark pink sky that eclipses the world near the end of the game. It can make completing every side-quest and monster hunt real depressing. Fortunately, players will get a much-needed vacation from...

Finally, A Clever Indie RPG For People Who Suck At Undertale
11.12.2023
True confession: while I admire and enjoy the heck out of Undertale, the hugely influential 2015 indie RPG that rewards a peaceful approach to conflict, I’ve never actually managed to complete a pacifist run of the game. That’s because I stink at its bullet-hell combat, which demands lightning...
Analogue Duo: The Kotaku Review
