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.

Hitman 3 - Cloud Version Coming to Nintendo Switch This Month

-
Hitman 3 - Cloud Version for Nintendo Switch will be released on January 20, 2021 - the same day as PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia. Announced on Twitter by IO Interactive, Hitman 3 - Cloud Version is the exact same version as the other platforms, but is a cloud-based version that requires a persistent internet connection to play. Hitman 3 - Cloud Version was revealed at the Nintendo Direct Mini in October 2020 and follows Control's Cloud Version that was released following that same Nintendo Direct Mini. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/28/hitman-3-nintendo-switch-announcement"] Ahead of its release, we were able to get one final preview of Hitman 3, in which we said "Hitman 3’s sandbox is vast and filled with many toys. Sure, it still has some cheesy dialogue and voice acting, as well as some goofy animations, but overall I’m extremely impressed by what I’ve played so far." Hitman 3 is the end of the trilogy that began with the first Hitman in 2016. Alongside taking Agent 47 to new locations like Chongqing, this new game will also bring the rendering, animation, and AI upgrades of Hitman 3 to the missions of Hitman 1 and 2, which are available free of charge to owners of the previous entries. For more on Hitman 3, check out every location in the game and how you can play the entire Hitman Trilogy in VR.
