Renaissance Faire: The Kotaku Review


Life doesn’t often let you know when your brain will flip. If you ever do receive such a heads-up, you’d be wise to heed it. I learned so while playing Renaissance Faire, a massively multiplayer real-world role-playing game that is only nominally about the Renaissance.Read more

PC Game Is Gonna Really Lean Into Slavery


When Paradox announced Victoria III earlier this year, I was very excited, but also a little wary. Simulating the comedic excesses of medieval rulers is one thing, but how was a game coming out in 2022 (?) going to handle depictions of very real and lingering issues like the exploitation of workers...

Uncovering The Real History Of The Women Who Pioneered Video Games

ToeJam & Earl III's Original Final Boss Was A Klansman


In early builds of the Xbox’s ToeJam & Earl III: Mission to Earth, the eponymous extra-terrestrials beat up a hooded member of the Ku Klux Klan as the final boss fight of the game. Previously we only had the developer’s word from an obscure interview, but now we can finally see it for ourselves...

Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.3 was touted as another round of bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as giving players a new outfit and car. But some players quickly noticed other changes. Puddles seemed fewer and farther between. The roads were less slick and reflective. In general, the game’s...

Pokémon Go's Reddit Goes Dark In Protest Against Site Inaction


Pokémon Go creators Niantic recently proved slow in addressing widespread fears about the game forcing players into close proximity with other humans amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, in a ripple from that, the game’s Reddit sub, r/pokemongo, has switched itself to ‘private’, in response to what...

Bandai Launched A Gundam Model Recycling Project In Japan


Much of the appeal of making Gundam models is getting a box full of parts connected to plastic frame sections, cutting those parts out, and then piecing together a badass mecha. But when you’re finished, there’s still a box full of discarded plastic frames! FNN reports that as of last year, when...
