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 Patch Fixes Potential Hacking Vulnerability for Modders

-
CD Projekt Red has released a PC hotfix for Cyberpunk 2077, closing a vulnerability that could have left those modding the game open to malicious hackers. Announced on Twitter (below), hotfix 1.12 is out now on PC, and fixes two separate elements that could potentially have been used to remotely activate harmful files hidden inside mod downloads. Earlier this week, CD Projekt Red warned those modding the game to use caution after community member PixelRick flagged the potential issue. "You should be able to trust data file mods to be harmless, and only be skeptical about executables in general," PixelRick said to Eurogamer at the time. "This vulnerability makes it impossible to really trust any modded data file for this game until [the] patch." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/20/cyberpunk-2077-reviews-one-month-later-the-review-crew"] Thankfully, that patch is now in place after CD Projekt thanked its community for pointing out the problem. It's the second hotfix to be released after the game's major 1.1 patch, following a quick fix to a brand new game-breaking bug. To see what changes CD Projekt Red's been making, check out our performance review of the game following the 1.1 patch.
