As its name suggests, Manor Lords is a city builder about managing a medieval village. You help it grow, ****** off bandits, and eventually take part in larger military campaigns.

Another Crab’s Treasure is finally out, and if you’re as much of a ******* for soulslikes as I am, you’re likely picking it up. Good news: it’s pretty great and packed to the brim with charming nods to the Souls games, tight combat and skills, and funny-as-***** jokes. One of its running gags could potentially ***** you… Read more... View the full article
In the days after the April 19 release of The Tortured Poets Department, the latest album from Taylor Swift, I came across a presentation explaining the artist’s relationship with 1975 frontman Matty Healy. It is over one hundred pages long, and it’s not the only presentation, video, or article of its kind. Fans are… Read more... View the full article

Arrowhead Game Studios has enjoyed handing down some tough and consequential major orders for the Helldivers 2 community to beat, but its latest might be one of its thorniest yet. You see, major orders tend to focus the entirety of the player base on a single objective or set of goals, such as ******** billions of… Read more... View the full article
Last week, journalist co-op 404 Media reported on Spy ****, a site that was mining billions of Discord messages from nearly 620 million users and selling access to that data for as little as $5. After investigating the matter, Discord has announced that the accounts connected to that repository have been banned and the… Read more... View the full article
Tesla was recently forced to recall every Cybertruck it’s ever built — all 3,878 of them — because the cover on the accelerator pedal could come loose, causing unintended acceleration.

Facebook’s parent company, Meta, made a lot of money in its last financial quarter. However, its virtual reality and augmented reality division, Reality Labs, lost over $3 billion. That means that since June 2022, the metaverse-focused division has lost a billion dollars per month, and Meta expects to continue losing… Read more... View the full article
Stellar Blade is a good game. If you wanted Nier: Automata without all the heady themes, then Shift Up’s latest PS5-exclusive character action game fits the bill perfectly. It doesn’t tell as good a story as PlatinumGames’ 2017 character action game, and its characterization isn’t as deep either, but there is one… Read more... View the full article
Don’t ****** the messenger, but even if you’ve played your Xbox consistently for the past four years and you think you know it inside and out, you may still be surprised by what your console is capable of.

As soon as Honkai Star Rail launched on April 26, 2023, I immediately downloaded it on my phone. The turn-based sci-fi RPG from HoYoverse, makers of gacha juggernaut Genshin Impact, was already an anticipated release after I had read impressions from the game’s beta. A year has passed since the game’s initial release,… Read more... View the full article
I didn’t love the Knuckles show, but as a long-time Sonic fan, one of its six episodes stuck out to me for a few reasons. One, it’s easily the most representative of the show’s problems with excluding its titular hero, but it also drops a huge lore ***** in the wildest way possible. It all ties into the game that’s… Read more... View the full article
Another Crab’s Treasure is out now and thankfully it’s a really solid soulslike game, one which wears its influences on its sleeve. Despite the fact that it’s much more accessible than most of the games that inspired it, it isn’t without mechanics and features that need to be explained to some degree. Luckily for you… Read more... View the full article
The Knuckles show is out today on Paramount+. As Kotaku’s resident Sonic (eh, Shadow, really) sicko, I did not like it! I gave it a broadly negative review and was especially caught off guard by how little the titular punch-throwing echidna is actually in it. Now that the show is available to stream, fans are forming… Read more... View the full article
Fallout 4’s free next-gen update is finally here, and it’s brought plenty of headaches with it. Patching in a 60fps mode for free on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S is a nice reason to ***** back into one of Bethesda’s more controversial and arguably underappreciated post-apocalyptic RPGs, but some notable hang-ups… Read more...

A new wave of rumors are doing the rounds regarding the near-mythical Switch 2. Nintendo’s much-deliberated follow-up to its seven-year-old handheld console was most recently speculated to have an 8" screen, after Sharp Corp reportedly massively upped its LCD screen production. Now we have word that it could be… Read more... View the full article
Not everything in action slasher (and super-pretty simulator)Stellar Blade is cute outfits and gory glory ******. You’ll have to find a few hidden objectives from time to time. One such location is the Solar Tower in the Wastelands, the game’s first open-ish area following Eve’s arrival in Xion. Read more... View the full article
