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.

Immortals Fenyx Rising - The Lost Gods DLC Release Date Announced

-
Ubisoft has revealed that Immortals Fenyx Rising - The Lost Gods DLC will be released on April 22, 2021. Immortals Fenyx Rising - The Lost Gods DLC is the final expansion in the game's Season Pass and features a new hero named Ash, who was chosen by Fenyx to bring back the lost gods. This new chapter will also feature top-down gameplay and all-new brawler combat, which will be a departure from Immortal Fenyx Rising's third-person camera view. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/17/immortals-fenyx-rising-post-launch-and-season-pass-trailer"] Ash must travel to the Pyrite Island to reunite these lost gods, which include Poseidon and Hades, who all left Olympus after a falling out with Zeus. More details about The Lost Gods DLC will be released closer to its release date, but fans can start a primer quest right now in the northeast of the main game's Golden Isle. This will provide a preview of the challenge to come and rewards that can be carried over to the DLC. Immortals Fenyx Rising's second DLC - Myths of the Eastern Realm - featured both a new protagonist and a new location, but it didn't quite live up to its promise in our mind. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/26/immortals-fenyx-rising-myths-of-the-eastern-realm-dlc-review"] In our review of Immortals Fenyx Rising - Myths of the Eastern Realm DLC, we said that "its lack of ambition and inability to distinguish itself from the base game’s adventure is a bit of a letdown, really. Attractive as the Chinese-themed reskin may be, just underneath is combat, exploration, and puzzle solving that is functionally nearly identical to what we’ve already played, and the characters aren’t nearly as much fun."
