Kotaku's Reviews
For all its various shortcomings it remains memorable. A loving, personal game.
Firewatch is the loneliest game about human beings you might ever play.
A fresh, fast tactical strategy game that makes 2012's XCOM feel ancient.
Great for kids and Marvel fans, but the LEGO video game formula is wearing really thin.
Being a hero has consequences, and Darkest Dungeon lays them bare.
A meditative masterpiece of virtual architecture and puzzle design.
Delightful, yet tedious. Paper Jam is beautifully crafted but just doesn't know when to quit.
It's Homeworld, but with sand, and it's the best new RTS game in years.
[Note: This review contains spoilers] I've been wondering when a game would make me cry, and that changed over the weekend. A few games have made me teary eyed, but that's about it. That Dragon, Cancer not only made me weep, but I had to stop playing it a few times.
Enjoyable enough to make up for its manifold flaws, but technical issues hold it back.
It's a fun multiplayer take on star Wars despite repetition and a small number of locations.
It's a massive game that combines Mad Max with retro-futuristic America.
Both the campaign and multiplayer are as great as they've ever been.
The campaign is great. The multiplayer is good. The zombie mode is lovely.
Rise of the Tomb Raider feels like a confident improvement on its predecessor, giving players more tombs, better crafting and increased options for stealth.
Wonderful characters, ample secrets, tons of replayability. Boss fights can be tedious. A subversive spin on role-playing games that's packed with heart and humor.
The campaign isn't the greatest, but multiplayer manages to succeed in the way it always has, with the addition of a fun and inventive new mode.
The newest Zelda can be a lot of fun under the right conditions, but it's more frustrating than not.
The best entry in years for a series that had seen some high-profile misfires. The Batman-ish ropeline is a terrific addition to the series of games best played from the rooftops. Too many missions feel like a to-do list, rather than an opportunity for player creativity.
A Guitar Hero game that finally lives up to the name, plus playable MTV. Amazingly immersive experience, excellent new guitar. Music television reborn and made interactive. Short single-player campaign with no hope for more. Singing requires guitar accompaniment.
