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.

Some players have accidentally been playing PS4 versions of cross-gen games on their PS5, and now Sony has added a warning that will help make sure that doesn't happen. As spotted by @Tidux on Twitter, if you try to start, for example, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, you will now be asked to confirm your game version. It will say "You're about to play the PS4 version of this game. Do you want to switch to the PS5 version?" It then offers you an option to download/play the PS4 version if you choose to or to switch to the PS5 version.
This issue was noticed by many who were accidentally playing the PS4 version of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War on their brand new PS5s. This impacted mainly those who purchased and downloaded either the Cross-Gen bundle or the Ultimate Edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, which included both versions. While this is a much better solution, it is still a bit more complicated than how it is handled on the Xbox Series X/S with Smart Delivery. In your library on Microsoft's next-gen consoles, games that have been optimized for Xbox Series X/S will feature a badge signifying so. When you start the game, the best version will automatically be chosen.
