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.

Gotham Knights Delayed to 2022

-
Gotham Knights has been delayed until 2022. WB Games. Montreal’s co-op Batman game was originally meant to be released sometime this year, but that will no longer be the case. According to a statement released on the official Gotham Knights Twitter account, the team says the title will launch worldwide in 2022. WB says the delay is so the team can have “more time to deliver the best possible experience for players.” This is the latest in a series of new game delays announced in 2021. Gotham Knights is a co-op take on the open-world Batman action game. Players can choose to play as either Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood, each of whom has their own playstyle. Gotham Knights supports two-player co-op so a friend online can join you in an open-world Gotham City. The reason why players will be taking on one of Batman's trusty allies rather than the dark knight himself is because in Gotham Knights Batman is dead. Or at least that's how the game opens. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/22/batman-gotham-knights-announcement-trailer"] Gotham City itself will be a true open world and director Patrick Redding says there will be no level-gating whatsoever. So players can freely roam the city as they please, either swinging through the buildings or on a bat-cycle. Gotham Knights is only the latest major video game release originally scheduled for 2021 to be delayed. Other titles include Hogwarts Legacy, which has been delayed to 2022, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, Gran Turismo 7, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, and more.
