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.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League First Trailer, 2022 Release

-
Rocksteady Studios' Batman: Arkham series followup returns the developer to the world of DC Comics, and now we actually know about what Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League entails. Beyond the obvious, given its title and all. Suicide Squad has a 2022 release window. Revealed during the game's DC FanDome panel, the first trailer revealed the Suicide Squad roster which includes Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and Kingshark. As the name implies and as revealed in the first trailer, Superman has become evil (or something) and the Suicide Squad is tasked with killing the Justice League. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/23/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-game-announcement-trailer-dc-fandome"] The plot of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League follows closely to the plot of the Suicide Squad comic books. The DC Universe's notorious villains are contracted by the government to form Task Force X and carry out clandestine missions in exchange for a full pardon. In this case, the villains get an extra benefit of killing the Justice League who probably is the reason. Plus, as suggested Brainiac is involved as a reason for why the Justice League is suddenly baddies. Rocksteady appeared during the stream to share some additional details, including the gameplay which will include Rocksteady's "Superhero, supervillain empowerment" from the Arkham games plus gunplay as these villains are more, well, armed. Set in an open-world Metropolis, each character "has their own unique moveset with enhanced traversal abilities to freely explore the dynamic open-world of Metropolis, along with a variety of weapons to customize and skills to master." Suicide Squad will also be a 1 to 4 player experience. Rocksteady says it'll be completely playable in single-player, with bots filling in the role of other three characters. Or load in with three friends as a full, four-player squad. Furthermore, players will be able to jump in at any time. So, start a game in single-player, have 1 or 2 friends join, maybe a friend leaves, it's all up to you. Rocksteady teased Suicide Squad with a mysterious image featuring an oddly purple Superman with the Suicide Squad crosshairs over his face, and we speculated on what that teaser and the game's name could mean for Suicide Squad's story and inclusion of DC's biggest characters. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-trailer-screenshots&captions=true"] Since its reveal, Rocksteady has come under scrutiny for allegations of workplace abuse and harassment that the company has yet to release a statement about. For more on DC FanDome, stay tuned to IGN's complete coverage, including the latest on WB Games Montreal's rumored Batman game. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is slated for release on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. So next-gen consoles only. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M. Kim is a reporter for IGN.
