RIP To Me, The Person Writing This, A Real One

23.7.2021
Are you allowed to call yourself a real one? No, I would argue, you are not. That pretty much immediately disqualifies you from being a real one, so I’m already off to a rough start here. But today’s my last day at Kotaku, so I consider it my solemn duty to close out my award-wanting “RIP To A Real...

Video Games Are Part Of Climate Change, Too

9.7.2021
It’s hot! I don’t just mean in the sense that I am sweating while my window AC unit does its best to gasp cool air into my apartment; I mean that it’s historically hot. Last month was the warmest June ever in North America. In honor of the increasingly agonizing heat death of the planet, this...

Someone Has To Draw The Skies In Video Games

30.6.2021
The stuff that exists outside the bits you actually play in is usually taken for granted, but the skybox—the part of a level that constitutes not just the sky but background environments around it that the player can’t access—can also be one of the most beautiful parts of a video game.Read more

Backbone: The Kotaku Review

9.6.2021
I’m pretty tired of fantasy racism. At this point, portraying racism in video games through the proxies of elves forced into squalid ghettos, stateless space alien nomads, and disenfranchised robots feels a cop out. So I was surprised that I enjoyed Backbone so much, a noir adventure set...

Pfft, The Medium Isn’t Even That Scary

19.4.2021
Full disclosure: I am a wimp. Horror games? Can’t do ‘em. So it is with a modicum of surprise that—and I say this hesitantly—a couple hours in, I’m not scared of The Medium. At least not yet.Read more

Same. Exact. Energy.

13.4.2021
The time had finally come for me to check out id Software’s unapologetic 2011 Mad Max ripoff Rage, and true to its reputation, I spent the first couple hours just trying to get it to run smoothly like a game built on a normal engine. Megatextures, am I right? But I succeeded, and promptly ran into...

The Weight

8.4.2021
More than 20 years later, I can still remember my grandmother handing me the silver diet book with the cartoon cover and the sense that I needed to do something. I was probably around 13; the specifics have mercifully faded with time, but the cover and the feeling are burned into my brain. And...

How To Skip Monster Hunter Rise’s Pesky ‘Quest Complete’ Cutscenes

6.4.2021
Once you get comfortable with the basics of Monster Hunter Rise, the real game of grinding out rare materials for high-level equipment can finally begin. While one would normally need to wait through a cutscene every time they finish a mission, a simple trick allows players to skip this brief...

Monster Hunter Rise Is Tough To Get Into As A Newcomer

30.3.2021
Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t get into Monster Hunter Rise. Fans of the kaiju-killing series are legion, and this latest entry, out last week for Nintendo Switch, is arguably the buzziest game in the world right now. But it sure doesn’t make things easy for newcomers.Read more

I Can't Wait To Play Monster Hunter Rise With Other People

23.3.2021
The review embargo for Monster Hunter Rise has lifted, and while I’ve been having a heck of a good time battling beasts with my AI dog and cat friends, online play is still a couple of days away. And everybody knows Monster Hunter is more fun with other people. Read more
