19.12.2023
Entire generations of Pokémon history often feel defined by a single game. As wide-ranging as this franchise is—games, anime, trading cards, lifestyle merchandise—Game Freak’s video games provide the single creative wellspring from which everything else springs forth. As such, games like Scarlet...

God Of War: Valhalla DLC Just Got Harder, With One Big Exception
18.12.2023

Pokemon Scarlet And Violet’s DLC Has A Secret Ending, Here’s How To See It
15.12.2023
When I reviewed Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC, I said I wished it expanded further on some of the specific characters who were central to the main game’s stellar ending.

God Of War Ragnarök: Valhalla: The Kotaku Review
14.12.2023
God of War Ragnarök’s free DLC, Valhalla, is so good I can’t believe it’s free. While the original Ragnarök was robust and a worthy successor to the 2018 reboot, it was also a bloated attempt to wrap up a trilogy’s worth of story in one game. Valhalla, meanwhile, is such a lean encapsulation...
