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.

Cyberpunk 2077 Has A Steep Learning Curve, We Can Help

-
Cyberpunk 2077 is finally out, and it has already become apparent that navigating Night City may be a more daunting task than many players were expecting. Maybe you missed an important tutorial because the guy you were talking to started aggressively T-posing, or perhaps there just... wasn't a tutorial, because this is Night City, and you are basically on your own. With an RPG as robust as Cyberpunk, there's a lot of mechanics to wrap your head around right at the start, different systems to manage and keep track of, and you can get just as lost in the back alleys of Night City as you can in the game's never ending menus and inventories. The information overload is Braindance-levels of real During my first hours in Night City, I spent so much time trying to steal cars I couldn't keep, searched in vain for access points, and wondered who the hell kept lighting me on fire. I think it's safe to say we've all run into plenty of problems long before Keanu Reeves shows his dreamy face, and I know you've all seen your fair share of frustrations based on our behind-the-scenes Cyberpunk 2077 Strategy Guide traffic data. While I can't help you if you run into terrifying bugs like your character going bald if you look in a mirror (don't worry, you're still breathtaking), now that I've made my way deeper into the game, I can try and help you make sense of Cyberpunk 2077's complex world with a handful of in-depth guides that may hold the answers you seek.  And yes, we're keeping it spoiler-free!

How Does Quick Hacking and Breach Protocol Work?

[caption id="attachment_245192" align="alignnone" width="720"]CP2077_PRomo10 "I want to get online - I NEED! A COMPUTER!" - Keanu Reeves[/caption] As you might expect, almost everything in Cyberpunk 2077 can be hacked, but there's a lot of weird terminology and methods for different kinds of hacking. Breach Protocols? Netrunning? Access Points? Let's put it in simple terms: In Cyberpunk, you can hack a local wi-fi router and upload some janky viruses to everything and everyone nearby. Then you can set about disrupting electronics or giving someone's eyes a 404 error. But don't forget to look for places to plug your extendable USB stick in and download free prizes! But seriously, these hacking tips and explainers are worth your time:

How Do I Level My Character?

Like any RPG, Cyberpunk is all about growing your character from a nobody into a legend of Night City, but you'll find there are more ways to level up your character than you might think. Taking on certain tasks may raise your character level and give you attribute points to spend, but undertaking gigs and fighting crime can up your street cred to unlock new merchandise and opportunities. On top of that, simply performing actions like hacking, punching, or even just jumping around can raise individual skill levels like an Elder Scrolls game, so you might as well parkour at every opportunity, and take a look at these explainers to help level your character:

How Do I Buy More Cars?

[caption id="attachment_245188" align="alignnone" width="720"]CP2077_Promo5 No, I don't actually own this bike, but the previous owner is in too many pieces to care right now.[/caption] No offense to Jackie, but the car you start the game with stinks. I then spent the next several hours beating up Tyger Claws to steal their motorbikes, only to find out I couldn't keep them even if their owners met an untimely death. Turns out, there's a little more work involved if you want to start acquiring vehicles that will stay with you and can be summoned like a cyberpunk Roach. If you're looking to buy, fix, or fast travel - check these out:

How Do I Make More Money?

[caption id="attachment_245189" align="alignnone" width="720"]CP2077_Promo2 With enough hard work, beating up thugs, and hacking literally every access point you can find, you too can look this successful![/caption] Look, those fancy mantis blade cybernetics aren't going to pay for themselves. My Corpo character may have started the game with over a hundred thousand eurodollars, but it turns out the prologue is a pretty great equalizer for ensuring you're broke. Fortunately, Night City seems to have a pretty laid back "finders keepers" rule allowing you to loot every dildo and legendary pair of jeans you come across. If you're looking for a quicker path to making big bucks, maybe these guides can help you get rich or die trying (and then reloading a previous save):
