Yajirobe is a samurai who loves running away from fights and is generally useless except for when he’s giving Goku health-restoring Senzu beans or slicing off Vegeta’s tail. Now the “bean daddy” (not that guy) is destroying players in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero and being accused of breaking the meta in ranked matches. An Anime That Might Make You Put Your Minecraft Bed Next To Someone The DBZ character has quickly become a top-tier Sparking...

Image: Cygames Inc. Fans of role-playing games have been eating well in 2024. There’ve been big hitters like Persona 3 Reload, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Dragon’s Dogma 2, and the fantastic Metaphor: ReFantazio. Combined, they offer hundreds of hours of incredible gaming. So how about I just throw another massive RPG on the pile for you to play that you probably missed? Granblue Fantasy: Relink, which released way back in February, is a fantastic action...

Screenshot: Nintendo / Kotaku Leave it to Nintendo to psych out fans who are already hyped up about an impending Switch 2 reveal by announcing a fancy alarm clock instead. Alarmo will wake you up to sounds of Mario coins and chirping Pikmin. It costs $100, works best if you sleep alone, and it’s breaking the internet’s collective brain. The Week In Games: Return To Hyrule It ticks all the boxes: whimsical, eccentric, needlessly expensive,...

Photo: Samuel Corum (Getty Images) Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook and CEO of parent company Meta, has played a lot of Civilization on PC. In fact, he’s played so much that he claims to be the best player in the world, and would be shocked if anybody else could “beat” him in a match. This Wacky Magical Girl Anime Is Studio Trigger-Coded To Perfection In a recent interview with Pubity, the (supposed) human and...

It’s a new month, which means it’s time for another drop of free games via Amazon’s Prime Gaming subscription. In case you don’t know—and who could blame you—being an Amazon Prime subscriber neets you a whole bunch of benefits beyond two-day shipping and Prime TV. For example, you also get benefits on Twitch like exclusive emotes and a free subscription to give to your favorite streamer, as well as free games that release in waves...

In February 2025, the Steam Deck will turn three years old. And while plenty of games still run like a dream on the portable PC, it’s clear that over time, more and more big new games are pushing this tiny computer to its breaking point. And it might be time for an upgrade. The Top 10 Most-Played Games On Steam Deck: June 2023 Edition Let’s be clear about something: the Steam Deck is awesome. Valve’s...

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is a lovingly crafted tribute to the iconic franchise, its myriad of characters, and exciting attacks whose names need to be shouted. It’s a tribute so accurate that seemingly every player has been quickly stumped by Great Ape Vegeta, the most threatening villain during the series’ Saiyan Saga. It’s quite a wake-up call when the first boss-like fight in the game has you questioning how difficult things are going to get....

2024 has been a year of many big releases, and I’ve played quite a lot of them, which means plenty more games inevitably fall through the cracks. It’s rare that, during a busy release year, I get a chance to check out a game months after it came out, and it’s even more rare that I fall in love with it. But that’s exactly what happened when I got around to playing Indika, a third-person...

I am 34 years old and I will still randomly blurt out a soundbite from a game that was released when I was seven. A “That’s my sister!” will escape my lips when I reunite with my younger sibling after not seeing her for months, or I’ll utter an “I like candy, everybody likes candy” while walking through the confectionary aisle in Walgreens. Those ear worms that have remained steadfastly bored into my brain for...

Few things are harder than trying to get your friends into tabletop RPGs. The rules are complex, set up can be a pain in the ass, and you’ll need to carve out more than a couple of hours of time for a proper play session. Sunderfolk, the first video game from developer Secret Door—one of two studios under ex-Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime’s company Dreamhaven—is hoping to make that barrier to entry a little lower. This...
