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.

Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader – How Did it Take This Long to Get a Warhammer CRPG?

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.

CryoSpace Announced

-
Kuklam Studios and Games Operators have announced CryoSpace, an isometric-view, single-player survival-horror game for PC that is heavily inspired by Alien and Philip K. Dick novels. Check out the announcement trailer above. In CryoSpace, your ship's colonization mission has gone wrong, and you've been woken up first. You're not alone, however. You'll need to wake up your fellow passengers, manage your oxygen, and just survive in the face of...well, you know. Aliens. And yes, the mean kind. Different crew members you bring up from cryosleep have different skills, and you'll need to manage the resources you have, such as food and weapons, as you attempt to stay alive on board the shipwreck. You'll also need to solve puzzles, set or avoid traps, and just survive. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=cryospace-first-screenshots&captions=true"] Check out the trailer at the top of this page and the screenshots above. You can add CryoSpace to your Steam Wishlist here. We'll have much more on this game as its development progresses.
