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.

Marvel's Avengers PS4 Pre-Order Beta Is Available Now

-
Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have announced that Marvel's Avengers' PS4 pre-order Beta is available now, hours before it was scheduled to become playable. Marvel's Avengers posted the pleasant surprise on Twitter, saying it's because "We <3 you." The beta was scheduled to be released around 9pm today, August 7, in your local time zone, but it appears all was ready to go a bit early, allowing PS4 players to try out Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Ms. Marvel, Hulk, and Thor. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/05/marvels-avengers-final-preview"] Marvel's Avengers' Beta includes four hero missions from the game's campaign, three HARM Room challenges, four War Zones, and 5 Drop Zones. The Hero Missions will take players through the previously shown A-Day event and a bit of its aftermath, all while switching between the heroes that will be featured in the main game. HARM Room are more-or-less wave-based arena challenges that contain 10 waves. War Zones are big open-ended missions with multiple objectives, and Drop Zones are quicker single-objective missions. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvels-avengers-character-combat-breakdown&captions=true"] These Drop Zones and War Zones are where you will be able to team up with up to three friends in online multiplayer, however, there can only be one of each hero on a team. We've had a chance to try out Marvel's Avengers Beta, and we said it "has a long way to go. The story and characters are interesting, and I actually can’t wait to see it through. The campaign missions in this beta seemed varied enough, and hopefully, that keeps up. And while live-service games often come with the adage of “it’s not how they launch, it's what they become,” I’m worried that there’s currently very little that would keep my interest to play past the campaign."
