Kotaku's Reviews
It looks like a cute fairy tale, but this is a turn-based game that's thorny with challenge and packed with an incredible number of gameplay secrets.
Within the zombie clichés lies a lovely, moving story about a relationship between two desperate people.
Because it's the perfect five-hour play session.
There's no other war, or game, quite like this.
A weird, hillarious, and heartwarming game that still surprises me after three solid weeks of playing it.
The game tells an uninspired story by forcing you through a series of repetitive, bland, and unrewarding puzzles.
An ambitious but flawed game that loses focus on its best ideas.
Much more than a dolled-up version of its predecessors, Mario Kart 8's new features and refinements make a stale series fun again.
A solid, satisfying run-and-gun first-person shooter that elevates iconic hero B.J. Blazkowicz from glorified holster to actual human being.
Expertly honed and original gameplay that supports a moving story delivered in a compelling way. What's not to like?
Super Time Force takes collective nostalgia for old movies, cartoons and games and wraps them up in a fun, exponentially clever manifestation of current video game technology.
The tried and tested Spider-Man formula is beginning to wear thing.
It may not be as transcendent as it wishes it were, but it's still a lot of fun to play.
An often hilarious bit of video-game slapstick that makes up for its shonky second half with delightful gags and a lovably clumsy protagonist.
Turns out, a good main character and a focus on careful stealth over noisy violence can go a long way toward making a game more interesting.
Second Son provides a great example of how to transition a sereies to a new generation of dedicated hardware with a tangible sense of evolution in almost every aspect.
A brief but well-crafted game that rewards creative play in surprising ways. It's good to see Snake again.
Gives you the constant feeling of just escaping death at the last moment.
A return to classic Yoshi's Island gameplay would be worth cheering about if the new game didn't feel like an inferior imitation of a still-excellent game.
It's fast, fun, fluid, and a fresh way to play what was becoming a stale genre. And it makes you feel good.
