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.

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.

Genshin Impact PS5 Version Release Date Announced

-
Genshin Impact developer miHoYo has said that the game will officially launch on PS5 on April 28. In a press release, we learned that the PlayStation 5 version of free-to-play open-world RPG Genshin Impact will be made available on April 28th, alongside the game’s 1.5 update, titled “Beneath the Light of Jadite.” The game was playable on PlayStation 5 prior to this point, but native support for the console had not been implemented. This means that PS5 Genshin Impact players will see ”enhanced visuals and game performance” upon its launch. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/04/16/genshin-impact-version-15-beneath-the-light-of-jadeite-trailer"] As for the content of the 1.5 update, it will delve ”into the history of Liyue with Zhongli” and introduce new playable characters called Eula and Yanfei. Eula is a five-star character wielding a claymore, and Yanfei is a four-star Pyro who wields a catalyst. New enemies will also be brought to the game with the 1.5 update and will offer players resources such as Character Level-Up Materials upon their defeat. Players will also be able to set up and decorate their own personal realm, which is found “inside a special teapot”. Co-Op Championship EXP will also be boosted, and it will be easier to claim the first three Trounce Domain rewards on a weekly basis. If you‘re looking to get into Genshin Impact ahead of its PS5 launch, check out our review of the game. We scored it a 9, calling it an “anime-zing adventure.” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/21/genshin-impact-beginners-guide"] [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jordan Oloman is a freelance writer for IGN.
