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.

Neo: The World Ends With You - July Release Date, Gameplay Details Revealed

-
Neo: The World Ends With You will be released on July 27, and we've learned a whole host of gameplay details. A PlayStation Blog article provided the date, as well as a deep-dive into the story and gameplay. Neo: The World Ends With You is a sequel to Square Enix's 2007 Nintendo DS title The World Ends With You. Set in Shibuya ward in Tokyo, you play a character called Rindo, who is part of a street crew called The Wicked Twisters. Your job is to uncover "the mysteries behind the sinister Reapers' Game," a week-long competition to save your soul. As you proceed you'll take on other crews and deal with the Shibuya and Shinjuku Reapers in the process. A big part of the game will be scanning and fighting Noise, nefarious manifestations of negative emotions that appear throughout Shibuya. When Rindo scans for Noise they will also be able to see the thoughts of the everyday people of Shibuya. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=neo-the-world-ends-with-you-5-screenshots&captions=true"] Much like the first game, players will assign pins to their party members that change their attack mechanics in combat. In Neo, you'll be able to control multiple party members during battle, and each teammate will hold one of the 300 available pins, which can be activated to unleash a special attack. Pins and threads can be purchased from a variety of shops in Shibuya to upgrade a character's stats and abilities, and you'll have to figure out a good combination of pins and threads for your team to fit the way you like to play. The composer of the original game Takeharu Ishimoto is back for Neo, and so is the protagonist of the first game, Neku. A hooded Neku with a new outfit is revealed at the end of the latest trailer for the game. Players who preorder the game on the PlayStation Store will get access to a Legendary Threads Set that boosts stats in battle, as well as a special set of Avatars. Neo: The World Ends With You launches on July 27 later this year for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. It will also come to the Epic Games Store in Summer 2021.
