Kotaku's Reviews
An interesting combo of shooting and skateboarding that's sadly buried beneat a grating tone and gross aesthetic.
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.
It's fast, fun, fluid, and a fresh way to play what was becoming a stale genre. And it makes you feel good.
Easily enjoyable enough to recommend, though its ambitious scale and satisfying zombie slashing are undercut by frustrating design and clueless writing.
A Blizzard-themed MOBA that's easy to get into and increasingly fun to play as you improve.
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.
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.
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.
Gives you the constant feeling of just escaping death at the last moment.
Easy to learn and fun to play, Rocket League is an example of how to make multiplayer gaming appeal to more than just the casual crowd.
Much more than a dolled-up version of its predecessors, Mario Kart 8's new features and refinements make a stale series fun again.
Takes a timeless, successful formula and adds a couple of fresh new features.
The stealth genre, deconstructed and almost perfected.
You want to build cities? This game lets you build really big cities that look awesome.
A brave, stylish take on the Civilization formula.
The great Civ V experiment continues, and for the most part, it's a success.
Enemy Within adds a ton of new maps, mission types, and soldier abilities without losing the balance and unrelenting tension that make it XCOM.
A great Batman story that keeps everything that has made this series great, while adding something less great.
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.
