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.

While Epic Games isn't sharing details quite yet for players on mobile and PC platforms, it promises to "share how you’ll be able to purchase the Fortnite: The Last Laugh Bundle soon." This bundle with Joker and Poison Ivy is another mixing of Fortnite and the DC universe that has already seen such other fan favorite characters as Batman, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Aquaman join the battle royale fun. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/13/fortnite-1984-apple-parody-video-short"] Epic Games is also in the middle of a legal battle with Apple and Google over their "anticompetitive" behavior after Fortnite was removed from their respective app stores. Epic went directly after Apple with a parody of its 1984 commercial, saying that it's time to #FreeFortnite.
