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.

Monster Hunter Rise: April 2021 Free Update Adds Apex Rathalos and Chameleos

-
Monster Hunter Rise's first free title update will arrive in late April and will add Chameleos, Apex Rathalos, an unlocked "Hunter Rank" cap, and more. Capcom revealed the details of Title Update Ver. 2.0 in a blog post, while also hinting that some additional monsters and a "few other related features" will be added as well. Apex Rathalos appears to be part of a Rampage hunt, which are a blend between traditional Monster Hunter gameplay and a tower defense game. Apex monsters, like the Apex Arzuros, are super strong versions of monsters that sometimes cap off these challenges. Title Update Ver. 3.0 was also teased and, while it currently has no release window, it promises to "feature additional monsters as well as an additional ending to the Monster Hunter Rise story arc." In our Monster Hunter Rise review, we said that it "mixes classic Monster Hunter ideas with some of World’s best improvements and a whole bunch of clever new mechanics of its own."
