“Good source of news”

Whenever something interesting happens in gaming industry you'll usually find it covered there. Also covers geek stuff and related.

Top Critical Review

“Leftist propaganda posing as gamer news”

Bill F.
1/8/22

These people are not gamers. They are everything that is destroying the gamer community. If a game attempts to create something new, but pushes boundaries by being a bit edgy, these betas will jump all over it and try to discredit it, because it has hurt their very particular sensibilities and isn't inline with their world views. Step aside already kokatu, you are getting in the way of actual progress.

Kotaku is a terrible news site for gamers, they are outright far-left leaning and will negatively review anything and everything that doesn't fit an extremely strict set of parameters.
A game has no trans people? 1 star
A game has no gay people? 1 star
They push an agenda onto the gaming community that is extremely unnecessary, and are so blatantly obviously NOT GAMERS. They are self-identifying as journalists, but in reality they are just kids that have finished a gender studies class at university.

Tip for consumers:
Stay away, there are better alternatives.
If you want the very latest news, I recommend just checking Reddit.

Kotaku went from game news to one sided, far left politics. Much of the content they post is racist and sexist towards groups that they don't like. They don't even seem to enjoy games; their articles are just attempts to change and influence gaming to fit their political narrative. Avoid this site if you actually care about the gaming industry.

The most toxic, woke and cancerous gaming site ever made, pure and simple. Avoid it like the plague, they have zero interest in reviewing a game, they just want to push their stupid far-left agenda.

Their articles and reviews are non sense and border on cancel culture a lot. They're video games lol. They get easily offended over silly things or the reviews are just absolute lies, from someone who clearly doesn't play any games or even the game they reviewed. Avoid this site at all costs.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use it. It's just made up nonsense.

This is a game review and critic site.

The shining example of what gaming journalism has come to. If you want to read garbage, cut out the middle man and go read labels out of your trash can.

Kotaku is full of rude people who will troll and ruin every game that they find online. These people have no manners or anything good to say about any game, just bad stuff. Do not go to this awful website.

Tip for consumers:
Do not go to this site. It is full of rude people.
