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.

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.

Dark Horse Direct is teaming with BioWare for a new lineup of Mass Effect collectibles, and IGN has your exclusive first look at everything being revealed during the 2020 N7 Day promotion. Check out the slideshow gallery below to see some drool-worthy art prints, a handy set of bookends and even a scale-model replica of the Alliance Normandy SR-1: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=mass-effect-fans-can-finally-own-the-alliance-normandy-sr-1&captions=true"] The Mass Effect Character Prints Portfolio features the artwork of Matt Taylor, an artist you might recognize from countless Mondo movie posters. Each of the four included prints showcases a different character from one of Dark Horse's Mass Effect tie-in comics - Liara T’Soni from Mass Effect: Redemption, The Illusive Man from Mass Effect: Evolution, Aria T’Loak from Mass Effect: Invasion and Garrus Vakarian from Mass Effect: Foundation. The set also comes with a digital download code for the Mass Effect: The Complete Comics collection. The Mass Effect Character Prints Portfolio is limited to 250 copies and is priced at $125.00. The set is expected to ship sometime in December 2020 or January 2021. The Alliance Normandy SR-1 Replica is a scale-model resin statue of the iconic ship, designed by Gentle Giant Studios. It measures 14-inches long and 5.6-inches wide. The statue is limited to 500 units and is priced at $249.99, with a late 2021 release window. Finally, the Paragon & Renegade Bookends set is ideal for anyone who wants to display physical copies of the various Mass Effect comics. Each bookend measures 8.5-inches tall and 4.25-inches wide. The bookend set is limited to 1000 units and is priced at $99.99 and will ship at some point in Summer 2021. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/02/12/bioware-definitely-not-done-with-mass-effect"] All three collectibles are available to pre-order now on the Dark Horse Direct website. Multiple veterans of the Mass Effect games are reuniting for an N7 Day event, which is only further fueling rumors of a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster. Retail listings teased a 'Mass Effect Trilogy Remastered' collection for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch back in September. The following month, a 'Mass Effect Legendary Edition' was rated in South Korea. Be sure to check back with IGN to find out whether or not a Mass Effect Trilogy rerelease is truly in the cards.
