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.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake Delayed Again

-
Ubisoft has announced that the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has been delayed again, this time without a clear new release date in mind. The developers of the remake released a statement on Twitter, explaining that "we have made the decision to shift the release for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake to a later date. This extra development time will enable our teams to deliver a remake that feels fresh while remaining faithful to the original." The remake had been previously scheduled for a March 18 release, which it had been delayed to after plans for a January 2021 release. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-game-delay-announced-in-2021&captions=true"] Ubisoft first announced the Sands of Time Remake at its Ubisoft Forward event in September, confirming it would be using the Assassin's Creed Anvil engine and would see the return of actor Yuri Lowenthal as the Prince. In December, Ubisoft announced the remake's push from January to March, citing the unpredictable development hurdles in the face of COVID-19 and its impact on 2020, saying "However, 2020 has been a year like no other. Today we wanted to let you know that we are taking additional time to work on the game….We believe this is the right call to ensure we deliver a game you will enjoy." With this latest delay, there is no new release date or window, but Ubisoft says it will keep players "posted on the progress." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/10/prince-of-persia-sands-of-time-remake-official-reveal-trailer"] IGN’s original Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time review called the game “a must own -- a soon-to-be-classic worthy of a permanent place in your collection.” The remake is set to cost $39.99 and be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games Store, the Ubisoft store on Windows, and UPlay+. And there are still no announced plans for PS5 or Xbox Series X versions of the game, but it will be playable on next-gen console via backward compatibility.
