KotakuAfter 4 Hours With Battlefield 6 I'm Convinced It Has The Juice
My first introduction to Battlefield 6 came via a trailer in a large warehouse in Los Angeles. The video featured Limp Bizkit singing about a chainsaw. It was loud, bombastic, and frankly a bit embarrassing. But then I sat down and got to play over four hours of EA’s upcoming military FPS, and somehow, by the end, I…
KotakuOctopath Traveler 0 Is Based On A Mobile Game, But Is Leaving The Gacha Behind
Octopath Traveler 0 closed out this morning’s Nintendo Direct, and long-time fans immediately clocked that, despite the new name, the prequel RPG seemed to draw heavily from the 2022 mobile game Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent.

The line between a bad video game showcase and a great one can be exceedingly slim.

The upcoming remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is certainly ambitious.

KotakuYou Owe It To Yourself To Play RimWorld In 2025
These days, many video games either tell you an extravagant story that you’ll play through once and then ditch, or they urge you to open your wallet and delve deep for cosmetics and battle passes on the free-to-play front, presumably forever.
