Weird West Review

-
In this alternate universe, the West was won by trying a bunch of ideas so crazy they just might work… and if they don’t, hitting the quick-load button to revert to an earlier save and trying something even crazier until you pull it off. Thanks to that freedom to experiment with its world as you explore, Weird West is one of those games that feels like a stealth and combat playground even as it tells five mostly serious, well-written stories with interesting decisions throughout and a thoughtful conclusion. And with so much ground to cover and replayability to investigate, it’s well worth putting up with some quirks and underwhelming loot. What ties Weird West’s plot together is a group of shadowy figures using a magical brand to force your character’s consciousness into the bodies of various unsuspecting people. It’s a clever play on the way so many games have us take control of a character who already exists in that world but still need to bring us up to speed on their identity: h...

Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader – How Did it Take This Long to Get a Warhammer CRPG?

-
It’s truly bizarre that across the nearly 30 years of Warhammer video games, we haven’t had a single one that attempted to channel the tabletop Warhammer experience by utilizing the genre that feels best suited to do so: CRPGs. But that’s all about to change, as Pathfinder developer Owlcats has been cooking up something to fill this void. During an extensive hands-off demo of Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, I checked out its extremely chunky turn-based combat system, drowned in its plethora of dialogue options and social skill checks, and nodded approvingly at its lovingly faithful depiction of Warhammer’s morbid universe. While it’s still very early, so far this CRPG is shaping up to be everything I’ve wanted from a Warhammer video game. If you’ve ever played (or even glanced at) a game of Warhammer 40K, then you probably know it’s designed for a hyper-specific kind of nerd who loves calculations, large-scale drama, and an incredibly detailed world one could easily get lost in.

Ghost of Tsushima Is PS4's Fastest-Selling First-Party Original IP Debut

-
Ghost of Tsushima has become PlayStation 4's fastest-selling first-party original IP debut with over 2.4 million units sold through globally in the first three days following its July 17, 2020, release date. PlayStation's Twitter revealed the news, marking the milestone for Sucker Punch's first game since inFamous Second Son and First Light. For comparison, Horizon Zero Dawn sold over 2.6 million units in its first two weeks of sale. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/14/ghost-of-tsushima-review"] Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us Part 2, which recently became the fastest-selling PS4 exclusive ever with over 4 million copies sold in its first three days, have both proven to be worthy investments for Sony and are giving PS4 owners two impressive games before the launch of PlayStation 5 this Holiday. Ghost of Tsushima is doing more than just selling well, as Sucker Punch has partnered with the Nagasaki Prefecture and Tsushima Island tourism associations to give real-life context of Tsushima Island and its major landmarks, as well as more info on the history of the Mongol invasions of Japan and Komoda Beach event. While Tsushima became the focus of Sucker Punch's latest game, the studio revealed that early on the game could have been about pirates, Rob Roy the Scottish folk hero, or the Three Musketeers. Additionally, Sucker Punch's cancelled project, codenamed Prophecy, leaked and has given another glimpse of what could have been. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=ghost-of-tsushima-photo-mode-greatest-shots-by-ign-staff&captions=true"] In our review of Ghost of Tsushima, we said it "is an enormous and densely packed samurai adventure that often left me completely awestruck with both its visual spectacle and excellent combat."
