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.

Just Die Already Parodies Cyberpunk 2077 in Latest Gameplay Trailer

-
Just Die Already, the "Old People Mayhem Sandbox Game" from the creator of Goat Simulator, has shown off some new features, and had some fun at the expense of Cyberpunk 2077 while it does so. The game, which was announced with a Death Stranding parody and describes itself as a "literal s**tpost of a video game", showed off its exploration, vehicles, and a series of interactable items such as wings, a gravity gun, and a "buttwand". Find out what that is in the trailer below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/28/just-die-already-cyberpunk-2077-parody-trailer"] If this trailer seems oddly familiar, that's because it's a shot-for-shot (and occasionally word-for-word) remake of Cyberpunk 2077's world premiere trailer, below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/06/10/cyberpunk-2077-first-look-trailer-e3-2018"] There's a lot more to see than just Cyberpunk references in the video however, much of it involving old people either maiming others or themselves, not to mention a variety of items that cause unexpected destruction, including human urine. Essentially, it's exactly the kind of game you'd expect someone to follow up Goat Simulator with. There's much, much more to come from Gamescom 2020 on IGN - check out our full Gamescom schedule to find out what else is on the way.
