Fire Emblem Echoes New DLC Makes Me Like The Characters More

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia has a ton of downloadable content, most of which makes the game a little too easy.

Pirates Say Rime‘s DRM Slows Down The Game, But Denuvo Denies It [UPDATE]

A week after release, much of the discussion surrounding Rime isn’t about the ruins or the mystery, but rather piracy. Players claim anti-piracy software slows the game down. Pirates say the newly cracked version of the game fixes that problem. Rime’s producers seem unsure if DRM caused performance hits, but Denuvo itself denies there is…

A Game With One Door And Hundreds Of Keys

You Have 293 Keys is an absurdist look at game dungeons and an exercise in patience, created by 14HLB. Faced with a locked door and a massive pile of keys, players must brute force their way to victory or give into their deepest frustrations. It’s a silly game that makes repetition into art and a…

The Weirdness Of Fire Emblem Heroes‘ Bride Class

While Fire Emblem has had “Brides” for years now, their recent inclusion in a seasonal Heroes event makes the label “waifu simulator” feel less like a joke and more of a staple of the series’ identity. I’ve learned to love the sillier side of Fire Emblem Heroes and the franchise as a whole. A funny…

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier: The Kotaku Review

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier is a series defined by contradiction. The third season of Telltale’s successful narrative game franchise, which comes to a close this week with the release of final episode “From The Gallows,” is full of interesting characters the player won’t care about. It’s painfully human but insufferably cliche. The season…

Fire Emblem Echoes‘ DLC Removes All The Challenge

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia normally provides a solid challenge, but the latest downloadable content might make the game too easy. There’s a lot of DLC available for Fire Emblem Echoes, enough that Nintendo’s charging a very steep $44.99 for a season pass. While future content includes prologue chapters that tell the story of…

‘Life Is Unfair’: A Q&A With Nier: Automata‘s Director

Nier: Automata is both a wild action game and an introspective look at the things that make us human. We corresponded with director Yoko Taro via e-mail to talk about the game’s themes, what goes into writing memorable characters, and what he’d like video game players to stop doing. Here, in full, is our Q&A:…

Zelda Player Builds Ridiculous Metal Block Contraption To Get NPC To Hyrule Castle

When going on a date in Hyrule, location is everything. One player decided to take the timid priestess Paya to his favorite location in the game: Hyrule Castle.

We Did A Resident Evil Escape Room And It Was Awesome

Getting locked in a room causes a lot of anxiety. Getting locked in a room modeled after Resident Evil’s Spencer Mansion? That’s downright scary. The Resident Evil Escape Experience seeks to capture all the intrigue and puzzle solving from the famous horror series. I set out to solve its secrets last night and had an…

Titanfall 2‘s latest piece of free DLC Monarch’s Reign releases on the 30th. It will include an all new Titan, the Monarch. It is a mid-range Titan that can upgrade itself by collecting new parts on the battlefield, hopefully combining into a massive Voltron-esque doom bot.

An Arcade Shooter That’s Anime As Hell

Meka On is a “run-and-gun-and-sword-and-weeb-and-zoom-boom-fwoosh mecha brawler” available on PC, Mac, and Linux. Players guide a giant robot through endless waves of enemies. It’s a delicious slice of arcade fun, full of explosions and laser swords. Anime as all hell, it’s a perfect Indie Pick. I have a special place in my heart for giant…
