Kotaku's Reviews
A fresh direction for the franchise, dressed up as an older game so we don't feel all awkward about it.
It's more Peggle, only prettier.
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.
Visually creative, fun levels, great source material and packed with one of the best casts in gaming history.
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.
A shambling, mediocre mess.
Lords of Shadow 2 squanders a great premise - playing as the King of Vampires in a modern day city - with mediocre execution.
A bright, colorful and friendly introduction to the world of online multiplayer shooters.
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 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.
A stellar, challenging experience that borrows from its predecessors while making significant and complicated design changes.
It's fast, fun, fluid, and a fresh way to play what was becoming a stale genre. And it makes you feel good.
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.
Gives you the constant feeling of just escaping death at the last moment.
A brief but well-crafted game that rewards creative play in surprising ways. It's good to see Snake again.
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.
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.
An often hilarious bit of video-game slapstick that makes up for its shonky second half with delightful gags and a lovably clumsy protagonist.
It may not be as transcendent as it wishes it were, but it's still a lot of fun to play.
The tried and tested Spider-Man formula is beginning to wear thing.
