Kotaku's Reviews
All the same, Iron From Ice succeeds far more often than it falters. It's yet another Telltale game that lives in those difficult moments, when you're glad it's your on-screen character standing there and not you.
Chaotic fun, or an intense, technical game, Smash Brows. is a fighting game like no other.
One of the best Pokemon games in the franchise, with everything that makes the modern games good.
A great sequel, if not a true next act, for Far Cry.
Less Batman, more Green Lantern. This is good.
Epic in scope but carefully crafted down to the smallest character moment. A generous, joyful fantasy.
This War of Mine looks at war from a point-of-view rarely explored in video games, that of the civilians who have their lives disrupted by armed conflict.
A heartwarming story told without words.
It's gorgeous but not very fun in solo or co op.
A high tech upgrade completely refreshes the tired Call of Duty formula.
A brave, stylish take on the Civilization formula.
An interesting combo of shooting and skateboarding that's sadly buried beneat a grating tone and gross aesthetic.
Combat feels good at times, but overall the game is alternately bland and frustrating.
Bayonetta 2 represents a master class in over-the-top set pieces, filled with dozens of giatn bosses and absurd situations to test your reflexes.
The great Civ V experiment continues, and for the most part, it's a success.
The Evil Within winds up feeling like an inconsistent rehash of ideas previously executed elsewhere. Its great boss fights aren't enough to justify the tedium and frustration the game puts players through.
If you've ever played a Borderlands game, this is mostly more of the same. If not, it's a solid albeit unspectacular shooting and loot-hoarding.
Functions equally well as an intense horror game and a heartfelt tribute to the first Alien film.
With more personality than ever before and a narrow focus on the new toys, it's the perfect time to play a perfect platformer without being overwhelmed by years of toy releases.
Portable Smash Bros. blizz.
