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.

Astro’s Playroom Includes Four Worlds, Online Ranking, PlayStation Tributes and More

-
Astro's Playroom will include multiple worlds, online ranking, and more. Astro's Playroom was announced back in June as a title from Team Asobi that comes pre-loaded on every PlayStation 5, essentially making it a launch title for all PS5 owners. Details about the game have continued to trickle out as the console nears its release date next month. The latest details about the game come from Japanese game site and magazine, Famitsu. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=astros-playroom-playstation-5-screenshots&captions=true"] The creative director and producer of Team Asobi, Nicolas Doucet, told Famitsu, as translated by IGN, that Astro's Playroom will include four worlds, four to five hours of playtime, a bunch of collectibles and PlayStation tributes, and more. As pointed out by Nibel on Twitter, the four worlds are reportedly called Cooling Resort, GPU Jungle, SSD Speedway, and Memory Sky. These stage names may be different in the English version of the game though. As far as how much game time players can expect in Astro's Playroom, Doucet told Famitsu that there's about four to five hours of playtime within and that the game is filled with collectibles to find and PlayStation tributes to see. It's unclear if the four to five hours of playtime is referring to simply completing the game's main missions or if it also includes finding every collectible. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/11/astros-playroom-announcement-trailer-ps5-reveal-event"] Beyond the four worlds in Astro's Playroom, Doucet said there is a time attack mode and an online ranking system. There aren't many details about this time attack mode but considering it's an Astro Bot game, it could be similar to Astro Bot: Rescue Mission's challenges that featured time limits. The online ranking system might be a way for players to race against other player times in time attack mode. For more about Astro's Playroom, read about how the PS5 DualSense controller was developed with help from Astro's Playroom  and then check out the game's reveal trailer from June. There's also a video showcasing three minutes of DualSense hands-on gameplay with Astro's Playroom that you can watch as well.
