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: Check Out 8 Exclusive Art Images

-
Marvel's Avengers draws on decades of comic book artwork, so the concept art that went into the game could come in many forms – and we've got 8 exclusive images to show you. Taken from Titan Books' Marvel's Avengers - The Art of the Game by Paul Davies, the images show a selection of heroes, locations and details from the game - some more familiar than others. Check out the full gallery below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvels-avengers-8-exclusive-concept-art-images&captions=true"] Before you put your speculation hats on, we can tell you that the image of a, well, spider-woman, is in fact in-game graffiti depicting Black Widow. The graffiti depicts The Avengers with various mutations, to reflect the game's story of Terrigen infection and the creation of Inhumans (there's also a hawk holding arrows to reflect Hawkeye, and more). Also of note is the concept art of Kamala Khan's bedroom, showing a different design for the young heroine (and antagonist George Tarleton on her laptop screen), as well as a seeming friend character who didn't make it to the final version. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/10/marvels-avengers-review"] We released our final review of Marvel's Avengers yesterday, awarding the game a 6/10 and saying its "campaign is fun and endearing, but the loot-based post-game meant to be the meat of this meal is unrewarding and overly repetitive." Kate Bishop will be added to the game in October as the first post-launch hero, with Clint Barton coming later, and Spider-Man arriving as a PlayStation exclusive.
