REVIEW: ‘Tales of ARISE – Beyond the Dawn Edition’ Is A Solid Port On Switch 2

The Boys is done. What a boring and useless final season, culminating in an utterly toothless and anticlimactic finale. Glad it's done at this point, I'm done with this universe.

We're giving away 5 Wax Heads Steam keys! 🎁 Wax Heads is a cosy-punk narrative sim about working in a struggling record store. 👉 Head here to enter: https://bit.ly/3RhRW0V

My Editor-In-Chief just told me that if our independent gaming site Pixelbyte reaches 1k followers, he'll gift me Mixtape. I really want to play it! Please help: @pixelbytegaming.bsky.social

My boi @mattsilversoul.bsky.social is at it again! I was never expecting it to be on Disco’s level, but was hoping it would be a quality game at least. It’s looking like that’s the case. Definitely getting a purchase from me.

ZERO PARADES rules. While it feels very Disco, especially in its opening hours, it becomes its own thing entirely. Had a blast with it.

PlayStation Generation is LIVE right now with @kvondoom.bsky.social, come hang! @mattsilversoul.bsky.social @riceboyyytv.bsky.social @denirukun.bsky.social youtube.com/live/z6wgBjw...

So we're ~$300 in the hole after taking him back to the vet. We can manage, we signed up for this and knew what it would take, but it is a tiny bit stressful as I'm about to head into 7 weeks of little work in June-July If you're able to help/share it would mean the world Paypal/Venmo: kfoleyfl

Sharing my big turn-based interview one more time before the weekend, because I like it that much - insight from Naoki Hamaguchi (FF7 Rebirth director), Kenichi Goto (Persona battle planner), Thierry Boulanger (Sea of Stars director), and more. gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

NITRO GEN OMEGA is a fun, flashy mech RPG with a passable combat loop and some nitpicky issues. It looks great and has some cool systems, but it can be way too grindy, leading to waves of frustration. Review: www.consolecreatures.com/nitro-gen-om...

Logging on tonight and what the fuck happened here?! What did I miss?

Are you a Marvel vs. Capcom fan excited for/worried about/curious about/ambivalent toward Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls? Do you wonder about its place in the FGC? Do you worry it might push MvC out? Or are you not worried? Wanna chat about it for a Kotaku story? Hit me up here or [email protected]

Posting used to be fun and now everyone has made it fucking miserable

Now in print and online - you can read what I spent months working on. I talked to key developers behind Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Persona, Metaphor, and Sea of Stars. About the “turn-based reniassance,” if it really came put of nowhere, and what’s next gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

I'll have some lengthier stuff from my chat with the (delightful) folks behind Mixtape, but also wanted to spotlight an exceptionally gross moment in the first hour and how it came to be.

A song can repeat, but the memories you make to it and the people you do it with will never be the same. Mixtape is a celebration of fleeting youth, of the people who help make you who you are, and it is worth every minute. Review: www.consolecreatures.com/mixtape-revi... @mixtapegame.bsky.social

Absolutely, totally fell in love with @mixtapegame.bsky.social. A celebration of youth and friendship, the songs rule, and its ridiculously gorgeous. One of my favourite games this year so far, if not the last number of years. www.consolecreatures.com/mixtape-revi...

Stranger Than Heaven looks so, so, so good, man. Really looks like a level up for RGG. Easily my most anticipated game. youtu.be/HUrFCyw5le4?...

This video on gaming music is incredible. @pcgamer.com and @mrmidasgames.bsky.social put together a wonderful love letter to music here. Well worth the watch, don't miss this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwH2...

I keep seeing people talk about Titanium Court, and I'm not much for puzzles, but this one might be calling me... Worth checking out for those who've played? 👀

been waiting for this one, just snagged on Switch. can't wait to dive in and sell some records.

PLAY CROSSBELL. Azure is a legit 10/10, one of the best ever, RPGs.

Wax Heads is more than just record sales behind a counter. It's about human and musical connection with great writing and characters. Review: www.consolecreatures.com/wax-heads-re...

I really fell in love with @inkonbini.bsky.social. Like Wanderstop, it celebrates slowing down and how much the others around you matter. It's a really wonderful slice of life that shouldn't be missed.
