Cyberpunk 2077 Devs Refuse To Stop Making The Game Better As They Tease Another Massive Patch
5.6.2025
Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.1 arrived in December 2023. It seemed like the last major update the open-world RPG would get before CD Projekt Red moved onto other priorities, including a Cyberpunk sequel and The Witcher 4. Instead, the developers released patch 2.2 a year later that included new cars...

The Witcher 4 looks astonishing in a new Unreal Fest tech demo today, but I’ve been on the path long enough to know that the visuals that delight our eyeballs years out from release don’t always reflect how a game ends up looking once it’s finally out on a gaming console. Still, a new cinematic...
Zaklínač měl být menší ošklivec, autoři si to ale rozmysleli
3.6.2025
Hlavní hrdina her série The Witcher (Zaklínač) měl s druhým dílem podstoupit změnu vzhledu k lepšímu. Jenže hráčům ani autorům se nelíbilo, že je najednou až příliš velký krasavec, že raději ještě vyrobili nový model

Here's What Cyberpunk 2077, Pokémon Scarlet And Violet, And More Look Like On Switch 2
19.5.2025
Notoriously, Cyberpunk 2077 looked so bad on PlayStation when it launched back in 2020 that Sony took the unprecedented step of completely removing it from their store until it was better optimized. That might imply an uphill battle for getting a port to look and play well on Switch 2, but recent...
Assassin’s Creed Shadows On Steam Deck Surprised Me More Than Getting Stabbed In The Neck
21.4.2025
When I heard Ubisoft claim that Assassin’s Creed Shadows would be Steam Deck verified at launch, I responded by saying “yeah right” with all the sass I could muster. I’ve tested a lot of games on Steam Deck here at Kotaku. I’ve seen games that should be slam dunks on the device fall short, and even...

12 Of The Biggest Choices We've Agonized Over In Games
26.3.2025

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Reviews Make It Sound Somewhere Between An Open-World Slog And The Witcher 3
3.2.2025
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is out this week, and reviews for the overwhelmingly massive open-world RPG sequel are here and mostly positive–though not all. It sounds like the new medieval sim, similar to its predecessor, won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. Some critics are calling it a Witcher 3-level...
21 Games We’d Love To See On The Nintendo Switch 2
23.1.2025
The original Switch was a trailblazing device that proved you could take console-quality games on the go, but it was demonstrably less powerful than its PlayStation and Xbox competitors.
