Writing a review is a tall order. Especially at a place like Kotaku, where we have a whole headline format meant to declare our “definitive” word on a game, movie, or show. It can come off as if we’re putting an authoritative stamp of approval or disapproval on whatever we’re critiquing, which can be pretty daunting. But, despite that gravitas, each review is really just one critic’s overarching impression of something after having spent meaningful time with it, and they can take on different forms depending on whose time that is.
We published 53 Kotaku reviews in 2024, premised on 53 unique opinions and perspectives, and now that the year has come to an end, we’ve put them all in one spot for you.
