Kotaku's Reviews

Mar 11, 2014

A stellar, challenging experience that borrows from its predecessors while making significant and complicated design changes.

A mix of mostly-new puzzles, an engaging, globe-spanning story, characters worth caring about and a welcome change to the series' formula. It's the opposite of a lazy sequel.

Though Stick of Truth still suffers from a number of glitches and technical issues that won't be fixed any time soon, it's a great game, and it's worth your time nonetheless.

A bright, colorful and friendly introduction to the world of online multiplayer shooters.

Lords of Shadow 2 squanders a great premise - playing as the King of Vampires in a modern day city - with mediocre execution.

A shambling, mediocre mess.

It looks good, sounds better and plays well...if you have a high tolerance for a high level of difficulty and/or are willing to cheat the system.

Visually creative, fun levels, great source material and packed with one of the best casts in gaming history.

If you've got a craving for that classic RPG feeling, this is your game. Four heroes; four crystals; a world to be saved--you know how it is.

It's more Peggle, only prettier.

A fresh direction for the franchise, dressed up as an older game so we don't feel all awkward about it.

Combines the best of "old" Mario games with some neat new tricks

Nov 21, 2013

The revival of the old-school fighting game has over-the-top appeal but still feels like a half-strength title, even when you buy everything.

Probably the best graphical showcase exclusive to Xbox One and a fun game if you're willing to learn its combat system--and aren't squeamish.

Nov 20, 2013

Tearaway connects you to the game's world in a delightful, fourth-wall-breaking way that also takes great advantage of the Vita platform.

The distinctive parts of NBA Live 14 are buried deep and difficult to understand. The rest is hamstrung by overwhelmed player AI and underwhelming visuals.

While the premise of riding, growing, bonding and battling with a dragon is a cool concept, it's not fleshed out here. The game also recycles levels too much.

Easily enjoyable enough to recommend, though its ambitious scale and satisfying zombie slashing are undercut by frustrating design and clueless writing.

Need For Speed: Rivals puts you in a gaiant , connected web of high-speed car chases where you can join in on (or spoil) other people's fun.

It's very well designed, a lot of fun, and a good way to put the PS4 through its paces.
