Indiana Jones And The Great Circle: The Kotaku Review
10.12.2024
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is not what I was expecting. My expectation and fear was that developer MachineGames’ AAA action-adventure adaptation of the popular franchise starring Harrison Ford would play mostly like Uncharted, but in the ‘30s and with more Nazis. Thankfully, Great Circle...

Marvel Rivals is out now and free to play on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The hero shooter pretty shamelessly draws inspiration from Overwatch. As a result, NetEase’s swing at the genre feels like putting on a familiar glove to long-time players of Blizzard’s game. However, there are...
Slay The Spire But With A Claw Machine Turns Out To Be Utterly Compelling
6.12.2024
I thought I’d reached a point of cynicism when it comes to Slay the Spire’s roguelite format. You can’t just take the framework and replace the cards with just anything! That’s silly.
