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?

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.

Cyberpunk 2077: Night City Wire Episode 4 Coming Next Week

-
The fourth episode of CD Projekt Red's Night City Wire livestream showcase for Cyberpunk 2077 will take place on Thursday, October 15 at 9am PT/12pm ET/6pm CEST and will "go into details about the looks, sounds, and specs of #Cyberpunk2077 vehicles." Announced on Cyberpunk 2077's Twitter, fans can expect "new gameplay footage, announcements, and more!" This episode of Night City Wire follows the previous one that focused on Night City itself, its gangs, and the creation of Cyberpunk 2077's original score. Since that third episode, Cyberpunk 2077 has gone gold, meaning the release version of the game is complete and production of physical copies of the much-anticipated game can now begin. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/18/cyberpunk-2077-tour-of-night-city-trailer"] However, news also broke that CD Projekt Red has enacted mandatory six-day workweeks leading up the November 19 release date. CD Projekt Red Head of Studio Adam Badowski has said that the move was "one of the hardest decisions I've had to make", but noted that Cyberpunk 2077's developers will be "well compensated for every extra hour they put in."
