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.

Fans were able to vote on the next lightsaber they'd like to see made available for purchase at Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Walt Disney World and Disneyland, and Cal Kestis' from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has been chosen as the winner. Cal's lightsaber won with 40.79% of the votes, beating out Qui-Gon Jinn (19.56%), Anakin Skywalker (12.37%), Lord Corvax (11.41%), Kanan Jarrus (9.85%), and Ezra Bridger (6.02%).
Cal's lightsaber will be available later next year and will be the first lightsaber offered at Dok's to have originated from a video game, and joins other classic sabers inspired by such iconic heroes and villains as Luke Skywalker, Rey, Darth Vader, and more. While it may be a little while until you can purchase Cal's lightsaber, Ahsoka Tano's lightsabers from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Count Dooku's curved handle will be available at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge this fall. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was released in 2019 and, in our review, we said "It’s been ages since we got a great single-player Star Wars action game, but Jedi: Fallen Order makes up for a lot of lost time. A strong cast sells a dark story while keeping things fun and loyal to Star Wars lore, and fast, challenging combat mixes with energetic platforming, decent puzzles, and diverse locations to explore for an all-around amazing game."
