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.

Outriders Delayed to April, Demo Coming February

-
Square Enix and People Can Fly have announced that Outriders has been delayed to April, and that a demo featuring all classes will be made available in late February. In a statement published to the Outriders Twitter account, the development team said "We have decided to move the release date of Outriders to April 1st 2021 (no joke!). We will spend this extra time fine tuning the game and focusing on delivering a fantastic play experience at launch." Before that, though, what sounds like a substantial demo will be made available on February 25th. The demo will include "the first few hours of the game with all four classes" that can be played in single player or co-operative modes. Any progress made with characters in this demo will be "seamless" in its migration from demo to the full game, should you wish to buy it. "We believe it's important that players get to experience a new IP like Outriders before release," said the statement. "So that you can decide for yourselves whether the game is something you wish to pre-order, purchase, or play." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/11/outriders-the-game-awards-trailer"] This is another delay for Outriders, which had previously been pushed back last October to February 2021, after originally being set for a Holiday 2020 launch. This new date puts it several months behind the original plan, but hopefully will mean Outriders launches in a good state. The game itself feels like a mix of Diablo and Mass Effect, and our extensive preview coverage highlights some of its fun ideas, such as the Technomancer class and the escalating difficulty of its World Tiers. For more, check out our making of feature and how mods will affect your gameplay.
