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 Season 3's New Maps Rewinds the Clock to 1984

-
The newest season of Call of Duty: Warzone is officially out and it comes with a major overhaul of its Verdansk map. Now, it’s Verdansk ‘84. This week, Call of Duty: Warzone began to ramp up towards its new season starting with the Destruction of Verdansk event. This ended with the map being nuked, putting the future of Verdansk in doubt. From this rubble, Warzone travels back in time to Verdansk back in 1984, a new version of the map where every building and object has traveled back in time. The run-down buildings are newer, the streets more vibrant, and there’s grass and flora everywhere. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/04/22/call-of-duty-warzone-verdansk-84-trailer"] The new Warzone map has a fully-revitalized Airport (destroyed in the previous Verdansk map) a new Airport control tower, an in-construction Verdansk Stadium, a newly accessible Gora Summit, the new Airplane Factory, Radar Array, and more. Call of Duty began the groundwork for Verdansk ‘84 for weeks. It began with a surprise zombie outbreak in Warzone. As the outbreak intensified, Verdansk was nuked to cleanse the area, and players were then left to fight on Rebirth Island before time-traveling back to Verdansk. Also new in the season is the Operator Wraith from Mt. Yamantau, Sticks and Stones returns as a multiplayer mode, the new 2v2 Gunfight map Diesel which also turns into a 6v5 map, and the Strafe Run scorestreak. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/04/22/call-of-duty-warzone-7-minutes-of-verdansk-84-gameplay-with-commentary"] There were some wait time issues affecting players as they tried to log into the Destruction of Verdansk event, but with over 100 million players the popularity of Warzone is likely the least of Call of Duty’s problems. Check out IGN’s Warzone review for our full take on the massive battle royale mode. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M. Kim is IGN's News Editor.
