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.

Outriders Delayed to 2021

-
Square Enix's Outriders has been delayed to February 2, 2021, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam & Epic). However, it will support a complete cross-play experience and will offer free upgrades to next-gen. Outriders was originally set to be released in Holiday 2020, but complications due to the COVID-19 pandemic and "work-process-restructuring" lead to the delay. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/08/outriders-release-date-announce-trailer"] Fortunately, Square Enix has said that the core game is in a "largely complete state," but its testing operations ran into some issues with the switch from normal operations, and the team needs "a bit more time to get it right and ensure that the Outriders experience will be as smooth and issue-free as it possibly can be when we launch." As previously mentioned, the good news is this new game will support a complete cross-play experience. Additionally, there will be a free game upgrade from PS4 to PS5 and Smart Delivery will be supported for Xbox One to Xbox Series X/S. Outriders is a 1 to 3, drop-in-drop-out co-op shooter that we said, in our hands-on time, feels like what happens when Mass Effect meets Diablo. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=outriders-ign-first&captions=true"] Outriders was also featured as our IGN First for August 2020, where we looked at how mods change the gameplay, the Technomancer class, a full co-op mission, a monster hunt, and much more.
