Four months and 40 hours later: my epic battle with 2025's most difficult video game

In March I started experiencing excruciating pain in my right arm and shoulder burning, zapping, energy-sapping pain that left me unable to think straight, emanating from a nexus of torment behind my shoulder blade and sometimes stretching all the way up to the base of my skull and all the way down into my fingers. Typing was agony, but everything was painful; even at rest it was horrible.

Baldur's Gate 3 Dev Explains Why One Party Member Felt Shortchanged

As you probably know, we weren't connecting with Wyll's Early Access recruitment and initial questing, so we started over at a point when most of the other companion stories were fairly solid. A lot of decisions came later in development than was ideal - and there was a key situation near Baldur's Gate that I intended to heavily involve Wyll in (the Red War College) that got cut.

The Witcher's Lead Story Designer Says Ending Was A 'Mistake'

Turns out, Ganszyniec had no hand in writing the final cutscene. "The script for this...it was created not really involving the story team. So it was sort of, we weren't really paying attention. And that was a mistake, I think." As he explains, this is why the "open question" surrounding Geralt's future that's presented in the narrated section, which precedes the animated cutscene doesn't match up with the conclusion.

The Best Character of 2026 Is Totally Unexpected

Trails Beyond the Horizon's new character, Ulrika, is like staring into the abyss of a broken TikTok algorithm, and while my knee-jerk reaction might have been shock and even a little disdain, over the next 100 hours, I grew to find the character's bit surprisingly genuine and, admittedly, hilarious. What first felt like a gimmick grew to become one of my absolute favorite parts of the game, enhancing the already distinct personality of the Trails games.

TR-49: The Kotaku Review

TR-49 is analogy rendered in four dimensions. On a surface level, it's a game about sorting through an archive of written works and commentary that has you identifying dozens of excerpts and documents, all with the aim of destroying a particular work. Beneath the surface, however, this is a piece of art that speaks viciously and satirically to so much of our reality.
