We’re sorry to hear that... :(

I am amazed (and delighted; this is my jam) at how many games about designing factories have come out since people first started adding automation mods to Minecraft and other people went “That could be a whole game in its own right.” That said, Infinifactory and Satisfactory could not be more different, and I hope…

I have no desire to play DF, I just don’t have the time and energy to get to the point of enjoying story generators, but I’ll definitely buy it because these guys deserve it. So much respect for what they have created even though it’s not for me.

I hate that this urge to take sides permeates every last bit of our culture, from movies, to games, to politics. It’s okay to like both games! 

I think I can explain, as this has little to do with the game itself. Speaking broadly, the people who are the biggest fans of Bioware games don’t have a lot of interest in a Destiny-style loot grinder. What they want is a bigger, deeper Mass Effect. In an era where nobody is making that kind of 3p action-RPG that…

Haha, I noticed after I barfed out my reply. I get excited when I see cool stuff, and I’m blatantly ashamed of my spelling error!

Yesh but that one they give out to everyone, basically a participation award.

So it’s the love child of Tenchu and Bloodborne?

I still don’t agree with the common belief that the last third of the game is significantly worse than what came before. Lost Izalith may have been empty and full of lava, but those elements just served to make it feel like a true ruin to me, and like Anor Londo’s rooftops made it feel like the environment wasn’t made …

For the longest time, the only person I’d play with was my older brother. Generally, we did dungeon crawlers, but Tales of Vesperia made a huge emotional impact. He favoured the lead character of Yuri, while—much to my surprise—I chose Raven. The significant thing to know is that Raven isn’t really what he appears.…

Playing Mario Odyssey with my wife changed my life. She went into labor as the credits rolled.

Popular games of the moment are often being enjoyed by many Kotaku staff writers at once. Those writers will then generate articles and content related to the games they’re playing, as that is their job. When something is especially impressive or enjoyable about a game, including little technical or artistic details,…

Public service announcement: MAKE SURE TO COLLECT ALL THE TRACKS AND OTHER SUCH THINGS! They all contribute to the total loot bonus, which maxes out at 17 to give the best rewards. Also, gather up some endemic life while you’re at it. There are a few rare endemic life specimens that can show up here.

Tip for those who use lance versus this boss:

When he spews out the molten lava AOE attack, you don’t have to Power Guard, you don’t have to do anything special.

Just hold R2/RT and push your analog stick forward. It takes barely any stamina and deals very little damage (I run guard+3 so I take 0 damage while doing…

All the ladies working at Rockstar North should demand their pay be equalized or leave. They deserve better. If Rockstar doesn’t give them what they want, let them stew in the justly deserved PR fiasco. I realize with the industry being such a brutal one that it would be hard to let go of what could be a great way to…

The way I see it, it’s just projection. When girls are playing games, you can’t blame games for being the reason girls don’t talk to you. A lot of it comes across as just insecurity and not being comfortable or confident with oneself.

Every single time we make a stride towards some form of gender unity in this community it gets massively undercut by some assholes who think it’s somehow an invasion of their turf.

Not dumb, author just assumes that everyone reading plays Civ.

You’ve hit a very important nail on the head here.

Ah, fat-shaming. The completely acceptable, family-friendly alternative to homophobia.
