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.

No Man's Sky: Origins Is the Next Major Update, and It's Out Next Week

-
No Man's Sky's next major update is called Origins and it's coming next week. Hello Games' No Man's Sky has come a long way since its original release thanks to its many large updates and all of the patches in between. Its next major update will launch next wee, and the studio's Sean Murray said Origins will be the beginning of something new. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=no-mans-sky-desolation-update-screenshots&captions=true"] "Four years ago we announced FOUNDATION, our first major update for No Man's Sky," Murray said in a blog post released today. "'It won't be our largest update, but it is the start of something.' Those words were true at the time, and they ring true for Origins. We called it Origins because it is the beginning of something new, as No Man's Sky continues to grow and evolve." The blog post goes on to mention the game's last major update, Beyond, which brought VR to the game and expanded upon its online capabilities, as well as the more regular updates the game received over the past year. Namely, Synthesis, Bytebeat, Living Ship, Exo Mech, Crossplay, and Desolation. "We know there is a huge appetite in the community for No Man's Sky content, and the team has worked our socks off this year to deliver in difficult circumstances," the blog post reads. "We have been quiet, but we are always listening and focusing on improving the game that our team loves and feels so passionately about." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/09/14/no-mans-sky-beyond-review"] Like the rest of No Man's Sky's updates, Origins is expected to be free for all players. As far as when players can expect to jump into everything new that comes with the update, no official date has been announced. We do know, however, that it's releasing next week.
