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.

PlayStation Plus Games for December 2020 Announced

-
Sony has revealed that the PlayStation Plus games for December 2020 are Worms Rumble, Just Cause 4, and Rocket Arena. Announced by PlayStation.Blog, all of these games will be part of PlayStation Plus from December 1 through January 4, and are playable on both PS4 and PS5. Worms Rumble is the latest entry in the long running series that offers "intense, real-time, arena-based 32 player cross-platform combat." Featuring both Deathmatch and Battle Royale game modes, seasonal events, daily challenges, and community collaborations, there is something for everyone here. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/06/worms-rumble-battle-royale-and-new-arena-reveal-trailer"] Just Cause 4 puts you in the shoes of Rico Rodriguez in South America. 1,024 square kilometers of an exotic playground are just waiting to be explored with a wingsuit, grappling hook, and more. In our review of Just Cause 4, we said it "has everything you expect from a Just Cause game, almost to a fault. Relative to Just Cause 3 the improvements are widespread across its beautiful open world, but generally minor. So while blowing up yet another dictator’s army is the same kind of mindless explosive fun and physics-based comedy the series is built on, it doesn’t do much to incorporate the new weather systems or grapple mods into combat." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/12/04/just-cause-4-review"] Rocket Arena is an explosive online 3v3 shooter filled with fantastic heroes and distinctive rockets. Time dodges, lead your targets, and utilize unique items like the Rocket Magnet, Trip Mine, and Speed Boost in this game that we said feels a bit like Super Smash Bros. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/18/rocket-arena-preview-its-back-and-more-smash-bros-y-than-ever"] Lastly, there is still time to claim November 2020's PlayStation Plus games, which include Bugsnax, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, and Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition.
