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: Warzone Zombies Are Moving Across the Map

-
Zombies arrived in Call of Duty: Warzone just last month, and they've now begun migrating across the battle royale's map, and taken up residence in Verdansk's Prison. As teased in an 'in-universe' blog post, the zombies that washed ashore with the addition of a ghost ship to Verdansk's northern shore have now been found in the Prison Complex area nearby. Similarly to the ship, a terminal has been added to the Prison, which allows players to kick off a zombie-killing event, offering extra loot when 40 undead shamblers are dispatched. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/call-of-duty-updates-may-exceed-storage-capacity-of-base-playstation-4-ign-news"] The move could presage major changes for Verdansk, with some believing they'll slowly take over multiple areas, before the game's slowly-added nukes are deployed, triggering a radical change to the map. That's an idea supported by a leak that seems to point to a zombie-themed event called Plague in which the area can be nuked. The aformentioned blogpost also includes a header image that says 5% - possibly pointing to how much of the map is now affected by zombies. All of these additions may make those on older hardware nervous, especially as a 500GB PS4 may no longer be able to fit Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. Want to earn yourself a victory in Warzone? We have a Call of Duty: Warzone wiki for you. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Joe Skrebels is IGN's Executive Editor of News, and he's furious at this change, because Prison is one of the only places he feels like he's safe in during Warzone matches.
