Wolfenstein II’s Season Of DLC Ends Poorly

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus’ trio of DLC, The Freedom Chronicles, came to a close last night. The third episode’s generic title, “The Deeds of Captain Wilkins,” is apt. This short DLC is forgettable and uninteresting. Each episode of The Freedom Chronicles revolves around the abilities granted by the main game’s three contraptions: the wall-breaking…

What Are You Playing This Weekend?

The weekend is for bribing yourself to do laundry by promising yourself cookies. Also, video games. Snowy battle royale game The Darwin Project is in early access now, which means I can play it whenever I want! I’m pretty excited to lose terribly but hilariously. To my great shame, I have yet to play Gwent’s…

State of Decay 2 has a release date of May 22. The game will be coming to PC and Xbox One and cost $29.99.

What Are You Playing This Weekend?

The weekend is for being torn between wanting to go outside to experience whatever the hell the weather is doing and never wanting to leave the house again. Also, video games. It’s the one year anniversary of the Switch, which has reminded me how badly I fell off my Zelda playing. This seems like the…

Into The Breach: The Kotaku Review

Into the Breach is a game about the accumulation of small decisions, good or bad. It’s a game that never lets you forget your past runs, especially your failures. Into the Breach is made by Subset Games, the studio behind 2012’s FTL, the hit strategy game that charged players with keeping a spaceship in flight…

What Are You Playing This Weekend?

The weekend is for it being the last weekend of the Olympics, oh no! Also, video games. I’ve been playing oceanic FTL-alike Abandon Ship recently, and it’s pretty neat! The water, especially on the map, is really cool, and I’m enjoying getting the hang of its slow but tactical combat. There’s also an open beta…

Subnautica, As Told By Its Bug Reports

In Subnautica, pressing F8 allows players to give the developers feedback and attach a screenshot. Since early access, all of these feedback reports have been anonymized and made publicly available. They show glitches, offer suggestions, and praise the cool things players find. They’re also a rare insight into what players do when they have a feedback…

Tips For Playing Subnautica

Subnautica is an evocative, occasionally terrifying underwater survival game that thrives on mystery. While it’s great to figure things out for yourself, sometimes swimming in circles gets old.

As always, these games are only “free” with an Xbox Live Gold subscription. March’s Games with Gold lineup is: Xbox One Trials of the…

Excellent snowy battle royale game The Darwin Project will have another PC open beta from February 23-26. If the patch notes are anything to go by, there’ll be a lot of changes from the last time. I’m excited to make new friends and lose spectacularly.

The Coolest Trick In Steep Is Hopping Uphill

I can’t get enough of the Winter Olympics, so I’ve been looking for video games that recreate the feeling of watching people risk their lives in the cold. I recently picked up Steep for its Road to the Olympics DLC. Steep nails the rush of speeding down a hill, but it’s better at capturing how…

A Gorgeous Game About A Monster-Slaying Family

In Children of Morta, I did not save a puppy. My family will never live it down. Children of Morta is a hack-and-slash game for PCs and consoles currently in development by indie studio Dead Mage and published by 11-bit, the folks behind This War of Mine. It focuses on the Bergsons, a family of…

Mouse VR game Moss (a genre we never knew we needed but have lived too long without) will be out February 27 for PSVR. Here’s an adorable trailer.

What Are You Playing This Weekend?

The weekend is for doing something other than watching the Olympics. Probably. Maybe. OK probably just Olympics. And video games. I’ve got so many more things to be terrified at in Subnautica it’s ridiculous. I’ve gone to the edge of a ton of dark caves full of scary sounds without ever going in them and…

Who ever said video games don’t teach you anything? With Night Shift, Schell Games and Dr. Deepika Mohan are changing the way doctors learn in critical situations.

What Are You Playing This Weekend?

The weekend is for finding a way to watch the Olympics because winter Olympic sports are the best. It’s also for playing video games. It’s been a long week, and I could use some Witcher 3. I’ve also been meaning to check out Fortnite, which mostly turns into watching YouTube videos about how you play…

Subnautica is an underwater survival game full of eerie animal noises and a techno soundtrack.
