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.

Black and Red PS5 DualSense Controller Editions Revealed

-
Sony has revealed new Midnight Black and Cosmic Red editions of the PS5 DualSense Controller, and they'll be released in June. Announced on the PlayStation blog, the new controllers continue the two-tone approach of the original white DualSense, with Cosmic red adopting a red and black look, and Midnight Black offering a subtler black and grey approach. Both controllers wil go on sale next month, but release dates will vary by region. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/05/13/playstation-5-dualsense-cosmic-red-and-midnight-black-reveal-trailer"] While Sony has yet to announce a new-look PlayStation 5 console, designer Leo Cardoso says the new controllers have been designed to complement the existing white-and-black machine. "We designed the colors around the theme of ‘galaxy’ as it felt like a natural progression from the original PS5 and accessories designs," he explained. Fellow designer Satoshi Aoyagi adds that both new controller editions,"feature a subtle blue hue, that produces unique shades of red and black. A blue hue is also present in the original DualSense wireless controller colors, so all three colors complement each other nicely." Despite the colour differences (including different button symbol colouring), both new controller sare functionally identical to the existing white DualSense. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=ps5-dualsense-midnight-black-and-cosmic-red-editions&captions=true"] We awarded the PS5 DualSense controller a 9/10 review saying that, "Except for battery life, which remains a weak point, the DualSense controller is everything you want to see in a next-gen upgrade." Its adaptive triggers and haptic feedback are major point of that success, particulalry in games like Astro's Playroom and Returnal – and you're now able to use the controller with iOS devices for remote play.
