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.

MLB The Show 21 Coming to Xbox Game Pass At Launch

-
Microsoft has confirmed that MLB The Show 21 will be arriving on Xbox Game Pass on its launch day of April 20, 2021, for both Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. Announced on Xbox Wire, this once-PlayStation exclusive is arriving on Xbox consoles for the first time this year, and Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to enjoy the standard edition of the game on consoles, as well as on Android phones and tablets via Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) if they have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/04/02/nba-2k21-arcade-edition-launch-trailer"] MLB The Show 21 also features cross-platform play and progress, meaning you will be able to play across the platform and generation of your choice, and play with your friends no matter where they choose to play. Just last week, we were able to exclusively reveal the first Xbox gameplay of MLB The Show 21 alongside an interview with Sony San Diego Gameplay Designer Ramone Russell. Yesterday, the team shared a look at the some of baseball's greatest legends will look on next-gen consoles, including Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Fernando Valenzuela, and more. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/22/mlb-the-show-21-the-game-has-changed-4k-60fps-gameplay-trailer"] MLB The Show was first released on PlayStation 2 in 2006, and has been exclusive to PlayStation platforms since then. While Xbox fans will be able to enjoy the game this year, there is still hope for Nintendo fans as the company retweeted the announcement in 2019 that the game was going multi-platform, hinting we may see in on the Switch in the future.
