One Piece Odyssey Is A Good Anime Game But A Meh JRPG So Far

18.1.2023
Yo ho! One Piece Odyssey, the first turn-based RPG game in the storied franchise, has been a bit of a mixed bag in its early moments. While the game knocks it out of the park with how it portrays the dynamic of the lovable Straw Hat crew, the game’s “fully blown RPG” mechanics are a bit of a bore...

The Block Is The Perfect (Tiny) City-Builder

21.12.2022
If 2022 is going to be the year of anything, it’s been the year of the city-builder, a strategy sub-genre that has exploded in popularity recently, especially on the PC. While most efforts are focused on sprawling urban landscapes and Viking outposts, and others make city-builders with even more...

Ixion Is A City-Builder In The Cold, Dark Depths Of Space

14.12.2022
Ixion is the latest release from Bulwark Studios, the developers perhaps best known for the dangerously underrated 40K: Mechanicus. Landing in December alongside some blockbusters it too threatens to fly under a lot of people’s radars, and I’m here today mostly to try and make sure that doesn’t...

Battlefield 2042's Season 3 Makes A Good Game Slightly Better

25.11.2022
The last time we took a look at Battlefield 2042, the belagured online shooter had just released its second major update and was, finally, starting to feel like something approaching a finished video game. With Season 3 out this week, it’s now even closer.Read more

Marvel’s Midnight Suns Seems Good Enough To Turn Me, A Hater, Into A Fan

17.11.2022
I tend to land on the Martin Scorsese side of the superhero craze—“The problem is the amusement park films,” he said in 2019—and so I admittedly went into Marvel’s Midnight Suns feeling bratty. The tactical role-playing game, which was delayed twice before finally landing on its current December...

This Killer Narrative Game From Obsidian Is A Must-Play

14.11.2022
Welcome to 16th-century Europe. You are Andreas Maler, an artist living among the people of the fictional town of Tassing, where things are about to change in the wake of a murder. How will they change? That’s what you’ll decide in Pentiment, a narrative adventure game that brings together...

Victoria 3: The Kotaku Review

24.10.2022
I’ve been reviewing Paradox’s grand strategy games on this website for a very long time now, spending countless hours on everything from Crusader Kings to Hearts of Iron to Europa Universalis. I’ve even, believe it or not, played Sengoku. I will confess now, though, that I had never once played...

God Of War Ragnarok's First Four Hours Are Rock Solid

19.10.2022
After what feels like years of hype and trailers, the next entry in the God of War franchise finally arrives on November 9. And ahead of God of War Ragnarok’s launch on PS4 and PS5 next month, I’ve been playing the game for review. And while I can’t talk about everything, I can share some early...

Play The Trombone Game, It's Great

21.9.2022
I had seen screenshots of Trombone Champ earlier this week and thought it was some kind of Wii Music meme I’d completely missed. Now that I know it’s an actual game of its own, though, I am very glad I’ve had the chance to check it out.Read more

NBA 2K23: The Kotaku Review

20.9.2022
After I went down the river last year, I honestly didn’t think I’d be back here reviewing NBA 2K23. What could possibly be left to say, for a series whose relentless pursuit of player’s time and money “sucks the life out of the basketball itself”, and in 2022 just keeps on doing it?Read more

Wayward Strand Is A Beautiful Story About Being Young, And Growing Old

15.9.2022
In Wayward Strand, out today on PC, Switch, PlayStation and Xbox, you play the role of a teenage girl, stuck visiting the place her mother works. Which happens to be a giant, floating airship moored off the coast of Australia, and which having been decommissioned as a luxury vessel is now serving...

Saints Row Is Less A Trainwreck And More A Messy, Fun Car Crash

29.8.2022
Before I played the latest Saints Row game, confusingly titled just Saints Row, I expected a shitshow. On YouTube, I saw countless, popular channels calling it soulless, dead, and the worst game of 2022. Reviews from various outlets weren’t much better. Yet after putting about 14 hours into...

Surprisingly, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Won Me Over In The First Few Hours

2.8.2022
I’ve been looking forward to Monolith Soft’s next game since the last one ended in 2017, though not without my fair share of reservations. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was a meandering JRPG with a hodgepodge of systems and extremely uneven storytelling. As much as I love the series, I was worried...

Street Fighter 6’s Cheat Mode Is A Game Changer

16.6.2022
The growth and mainstreaming of esports has helped shine a spotlight on an important but often overshadowed corner of gaming culture. But it’s also occasionally led some developers to focus on the high-end competitive side of their games while the casual audience at home languishes. Street Fighter...

I Played Sonic Frontiers And I Still Don’t Get It

14.6.2022
We’re at a new turning point in Sonic’s 30-year history. The cult favorite gaming mascot is once again a mainstage attraction, besting Sony’s Uncharted at the box office and spawning a new Netflix series. And after making the jump from side-scrolling platformer to 3D soap opera, the series is...

Three Hopes Is The Most Exciting Fire Emblem In Years

13.6.2022
Despite public cynicism about musou games, which seem like straightforward hack-and-slash fests against armies of faceless foes amid chaotic battlefields, I’ve long felt that this style of gameplay could bring out Fire Emblem’s best war-simulating potential. Two months ago, I wrote about how Fire...
