Gotham Knights Is Kinda Mid

Gotham Knights came out a week ago and I’ve found it exceedingly difficult to find anything to love about the open-world loot brawler. Red Hood’s snickerdoodle recipe, maybe? The latest Batman game borrows from a ton of other, mostly better rivals, and struggles to craft a clear identity in the process. Kotaku’s Levi… Read more... http://dlvr.it/SbxC1h

Diablo 3's Most Hated Feature Stuck Around Because Of Its Box

Diablo 3’s 2012 launch was a disaster thanks to its always-online requirements, broken servers, and a real-money auction house that nobody liked or wanted. Today, a decade later, we know that eventually Blizzard got things back on track with Diablo 3 and ended up creating a damn fine ARPG. But why did it take nearly… Read more... http://dlvr.it/Sbk59R

English Localisation by

For all of the games – including its own sequels – that have come since, the opening moments of 1998’s Metal Gear Solid still loom large. After years of terrible pre-recorded ‘interactive movies’, here, at last, was a game that understood that having live actors on screen wasn’t the key ingredient in giving something a cinematic edge. Metal Gear Solid, if nothing else, understood how to create mood, even if the camera was panning around low-polygon character models. It aimed to feel like a movie, not look like one. It focused on the small flourishes that mattered: moody music, precise camera angles. As players guided Snake around the frigid location, actor and staff credits played. And then, notably, just after the scripting credits: Translated by Jeremy Blaustein. It must be a cool feeling, to see your name in one of gaming’s iconic scenes. “It is,” Jeremy tells me from across an aggressively nondescript table, his hands nursing a bottle of tea that he would not recommend to any

Scorn Is True To Giger’s Work, But Needs More Dicks

Scorn is a rough game so far. It’s slow, send you down winding labyrinths with little guidance, offers zero narrative comforts (at least early on), and is set in a dramatically uncomfortable and grotesque world clearly inspired by the works of Swiss artist HR Giger. I’ve found it to be an unfun, painful experience.… Read more... http://dlvr.it/Sb8xln

The Legend Of Zelda’s Early Box Art Was A Disaster

The Legend of Zelda isn’t just one of the best games on the original Nintendo Entertainment System, it’s also one of the best looking, complete with a shiny, golden cartridge and a special box that let you glimpse the gleaming treasure within.

What Cyberpunk 'Orion' Can Learn From 2077

Between the popularity of the Edgerunners anime series, the improvements in the latest patches, and the recent milestone of having sold 20 million copies, there’s no doubting the fact that CD Projekt Red’s take on ‘roleplaying in the dark future’ is finally living up to much of its original promise – even if it took a bit longer than expected. What we didn’t necessarily expect, however, was that CDPR would be so quick to announce their plans for another installment of the Cyberpunk series. Details are admittedly sparse – all we really know for certain is that plans for it exist, and that it’s being made by a brand new studio. But given that I’ve already dumped 200+ hours into 2077 and god knows how many more into the original tabletop RPG, it’s never too early to start thinking about how the next chapter of the Cyberpunk saga could benefit from a few lessons learned on its journey so far. Don’t Announce (or Release) Too Early Let’s put the cyber-elephant in the room outside first,
