Kotaku's Reviews
The Sims 4 is a beautiful new act in EA's popular franchise. Even with its controversial changes and missing features, I've never had this much fun playing with my Sims.
Hohokum is bizarre yet hypnotic. The urge to make sense of what's going on will keep you playing a lot longer than you'd frist expect.
It looks like a cute fairy tale, but this is a turn-based game that's thorny with challenge and packed with an incredible number of gameplay secrets.
Within the zombie clichés lies a lovely, moving story about a relationship between two desperate people.
Because it's the perfect five-hour play session.
There's no other war, or game, quite like this.
A weird, hillarious, and heartwarming game that still surprises me after three solid weeks of playing it.
The game tells an uninspired story by forcing you through a series of repetitive, bland, and unrewarding puzzles.
An ambitious but flawed game that loses focus on its best ideas.
Much more than a dolled-up version of its predecessors, Mario Kart 8's new features and refinements make a stale series fun again.
A solid, satisfying run-and-gun first-person shooter that elevates iconic hero B.J. Blazkowicz from glorified holster to actual human being.
Expertly honed and original gameplay that supports a moving story delivered in a compelling way. What's not to like?
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.
The tried and tested Spider-Man formula is beginning to wear thing.
It may not be as transcendent as it wishes it were, but it's still a lot of fun to play.
An often hilarious bit of video-game slapstick that makes up for its shonky second half with delightful gags and a lovably clumsy protagonist.
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.
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.
A brief but well-crafted game that rewards creative play in surprising ways. It's good to see Snake again.
Gives you the constant feeling of just escaping death at the last moment.
