Remedy's New Shooter Is More Call Of Duty Than Control, But Not In A Good Way
18.2.2022

17.2.2022
I reviewed Crusader Kings III in August 2020 and was about as glowing as I have ever been about a video game here on Kotaku.com. Yet having previewed it, then played it to death for review, when I was done I put the game down and haven’t been back to it since. Read more
Total War: Warhammer III: The Kotaku Review
14.2.2022
I remember putting on record back in 2016 how I thought Creative Assembly’s pivot to Warhammer games was a bad idea. How “seeing the series walk away from the real world was a blow”, and that “This isn’t even the good Warhammer. It’s the dorky medieval one”. Read more

Remembering Why The Jackass Video Game Was Terrible
5.2.2022
Yesterday, the world got a new Jackass film. After two years of covid-19, I’ll admit I’m happy to see the old gang back, wild and dumb as ever. It feels like a small piece of normality, one which I’m happy to have in 2022. But back in 2007, following the release of the second film and five years...

1.2.2022
The new animated movie Belle is a marvel. The latest from Mamoru Hosoda, director of 2018’s acclaimed Mirai, Belle features skilled art direction that remains coherent and focused in even the busiest scenes, and I loved the English soundtrack for its haunting beauty, which never strays from...
