Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, The Last of Us Part 1, Redfall, there are so many games lately that have had terrible PC ports. Why? Is it even a sudden problem, or just the culmination of one that's always been around? Will Redfall ever not be terrible? How much Manta Force stuff does Steph have?

Redfall proves that the "reviewers need to finish the game" argument is a terrible way of defending their darlings from negative critics. Familiarity breeds contempt, and the more I played Redfall, the more I resented it. From a mediocre beginning it only gets worse the longer it drags on, but hey, at least I reviewed it, and you can read more of my thoughts by 2023-05-09 17:42:34 +0000 UTC View Post
Kotaku is under fire from half the Internet for publishing a story on the leaked details for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Nintendo blacklisted them ages ago, they owe the company nothing, and what they did wasn't actually bad. Obviously, going to bat for them is going to get me in trouble with the Performative Outrage Gang. I'm just gonna go hide and play with my Manta Force.

Our latest review is for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Remember when EA was surprised that a story-driven Star Wars game, of all things, sold well? Haha, screw them! Anyway, I think I've got some interesting things to say about a game mostly discussed for its poor PC performance, chiefly the fact that I don't really care for its basic gameplay but I loved messing around in the space pub.

While I've often joked about hating videogames, there are many who claim my feelings are all too sincere, and those claims have increased since I returned to writing game reviews. Of course, I love many games, but here's the rub - the ones I love are the wrong videogames.
Inspired by an amusing interaction I had in the wake of my Dead Island 2 review, I got to thinking abou...

Hello! It's time for another written review. Sorry they've not been as frequent lately, life's been a blur of chronic pain and associated exhaustion, plus there's not been many notable releases on the radar.

Nintendo clearly believes that a good defense is a vicious offense, and its methods of defending intellectual property lately are certainly offensive.
From getting people fired to tossing them in prison to keeping them chained in debt forever, Nintendo's sending a clear message - mess with us, and we ruin your life.

American McGee tried to make a new Alice game, Alice: Asylum. However, despite having his name on the box, Electronic Arts owns the series, and they won't let him make it. Let's talk about licenses, intellectual property, and what I like to call "IP hoarding."

Resident Evil 4 Remake just got itself some lovely new microtransactions, even though it launched a few weeks ago. This is bad. People are trying to argue it isn't, but it is.
Remember, there are NO good microtransactions. Let's look at what Capcom pulled and explain how this sucks.

Dredge is the most compelling horror-themed fishing game (or is it a fishing-themed horror game?) since Killer Bass!

It's the last day of the eShop's functionality on the 3DS and Wii U. With its closure, some truly great games will be lost forever. Bye Bye Boxboy!
Join me as we take a look back at one of the best handheld systems in the realm. I mean, it's sad about the Wii U and everything, but the 3DS is really what I wanna talk about!

I can't stop thinking about this incredible game. It's stupid, it's brilliant, it's infantile, it's sophisticated, it's a survive 'em up that won me over quicker than even Vampire Survivors did.

Whenever you use premade assets for your work, you run the risk of buying in good faith something that was sold in bad faith. This is what the makers of Bleak Faith: Forsaken found out recently.

Accessibility is all the rage these days, and that's a good thing. Well, unless you're a gatekeeping elitist, in which case you're feeling a different kind of rage.
Let's have a chat about how accessibility is good for everyone, and why a game like Final Fantasy XVI enforcing "gamer pride" is a little bit silly.
