OpinionDisco Elysium‘s Dialogue Is Like A Good Tweet
The other day, I tried to recommend Disco Elysium to Kotaku traitor and noted single-player game hater Cecilia D’Anastasio. Spinning an ode to the game’s masterful mixture of character writing and subtle world-building would, I knew, accomplish nothing.

OpinionImpressions5 Hours In, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Is Not The RPG I Was Hoping For
I’ve played Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot for five hours so far, and it appears to be part fighting game and part fetch-quest generator. Mostly it’s a rehash of the source material that almost anyone who will be interested in the game will have seen performed half a dozen different ways. Trudging through the beginning of…
