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.

No Preorder Bonus

Unlike many JRPGs, this one has a fairly bare-bones rollout. No special editions or preorder bonuses have been announced. A standard copy of the game is all that's available.

A New Bravely Default 2 Demo is Available

However, if you want a little taste of the action waiting for your in Bravely Default II, you can download the final demo here and give it a try before placing your preorder. You'll even get 100 Nintendo Platinum Points if you download the demo before the game comes out on February 26.

What is Bravely Default II?

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/26/bravely-default-ii-nintendo-direct-mini-32620-trailer"] Despite the number in the title, Bravely Default II is technically the third game in this series of delightfully retro-style RPGs. This installment introduces a new team of four heroes you'll guide through a new fantasy world, traveling from town to town and slicing your way through enemies. The game's unusual title comes from the series' signature combat system. Battles are turn-based, but you can choose to skip turns in order to unleash a string of attacks later. Toppling bosses nets you character jobs you can assign to your team members, expanding their abilities as you progress through the game. In the previous games, these systems added up to a satisfying role-playing experience, and this entry is shaping up to be no different. So lock in your preorder if you want. The February release date is practically right around the corner, so you don't have long to wait to play the full game.
