Oh interesting! I do need both of you to try the original Ape Escape at some point, truly so much better than I was expecting

It must be right? Would be funny if Asobi ends up expanding to basically be a mini Japan studio again

I loved this as a kid so I’ve been afraid to re-read for exactly this reason! Truly thought LEP Recon was just 👌 wordplay

Matt Lorrigan @mattlorrigan.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I so hope this is true but what does this look like without Japan Studio

Games media cuts have felt unending for a while, but the mood feels especially grim among indie outlets with the latest wave of layoffs. More than ever, if the game industry values its media, it needs to support them. Buy some advertising, sponsor content, purchase subs. It makes a big difference.

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Love this two parter, top example of a great DW story done on a small budget and even smaller sets. What a cool thing to put in the cinema!

I’ve been really missing Oxventure recently, they were my introduction into D&D and why I started playing TTRPGs. The first campaign I ran was Blades in the Dark because of their series, and I loved the shift to something more serious with Wyrdwood. Hope this isn’t a permanent hiatus

Just write it! Writing is so easy, what you write will sound like you immediately because you are writing it, and best of all, you get better at it the more you do it!!

I’d much prefer a shorter, tighter version of this game that cuts out a lot of the fluff. Because the combat is so good and satisfying, especially the bosses! I just want to get to that!

Matt Lorrigan @mattlorrigan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Every time Onimusha WOTS plonks me in a dungeon I have the time of my life, think the game is just excellent. And then it returns me to its little open world to run about for a bit and kill time and I’m just like…why? Just send me straight to the next dungeon and boss please

If you are a parent playing Wolverine who feels like they are enjoying/appreciating it in ways unique to being a parent gamer with limited time and energy I would love to chat for a potential short feature ethan.gach@kotaku.com

Game critics, if you ever struggle to review a game in the meager time allotted to you, let PR know in an email. We can take that feedback and incorporate it into reports. Doesn't mean a CEO/director will see reason, but it's at least one more way we can fight to make things better for next time.

This has had me thinking about what Nintendo franchises have been missing from the Switch/Switch 2 era, which would be fun to have back Golden Sun Wario Land Dillon's Rolling Western Chibi-Robo Earthbound Kid Icarus Punch-Out It'd be particularly cool to see Camelot going back to their JRPG roots

Matt Lorrigan @mattlorrigan.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Took me nearly 25 years but I finally finished Golden Sun: The Lost Age! Picked it up on GBA as a kid and loved it because it was basically Pokemon with swords, but never made it very far at all

Matt Lorrigan @mattlorrigan.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

It’s really not much but I’ve been noodling away at a small TTRPG supplement, just a few daggerheart stat blocks but it’s been a nice creative project!

The funniest thing was that we only had one between me and my friend, and it also makes it super hard to see your cards and keep track of everything when you actually play so inevitably you end up taking it off your arm, and popping it on the carpet in front of you mates' paper mat
