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.

Call of Duty 2021 Reportedly Called Vanguard, Set in World War 2

-
2021's Call of Duty is reportedly called Vanguard and set during World War 2. Eurogamer has corroborated elements of a report from Modern Warzone which arrived earlier this week, claiming that COD 2021's working title is "Call of Duty WWII: Vanguard" and is being developed by Sledgehammer Games. Eurogamer says that Activision plans to "stick with the Vanguard subtitle for the final version," but disagrees with Modern Warzone's claim that the game "takes place in an alternate timeline where 1945 wasn't the end of World War 2." Instead, they believe Vanguard "has a traditional WW2 setting." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/23/call-of-duty-warzone-review"] Sledgehammer Games previously worked on Call of Duty: WWII and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. We already knew Activision was planning to release another Call of Duty game this year thanks to their Q4 2020 earnings call, where they said this year's Call of Duty would land in Q4 of 2021. In other Call of Duty news, check out our article where we dig into why games like Black Ops Cold War and Warzone take up so much storage space. If you're a big Call of Duty Warzone player, check out our video which provides a tour of the top ten roofs in Verdansk.
