“Ambitious as f**k” Warhammer 40k RPG is the first real Baldur’s Gate 3 challenger I’ve seen

The author began exploring the occult through the book "A Very Short Introduction to The Devil" and has since engaged with various tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) that examine morality and power, such as "Vampire: The Masquerade," "Call of Cthulhu," and "Candela Obscura." The universe of "Warhammer 40k" presents a complex moral landscape where heroism and villainy are blurred, and players are encouraged to embrace darker impulses. The upcoming game "Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy" focuses on the role of an Inquisitor executing the Emperor's will, emphasizing a binary moral framework. Executive producer Anatoly Shestov explains that the narrative challenges players to define good and evil for themselves. "Dark Heresy" distinguishes itself with an emphasis on detective work, allowing players to gather clues and compile reports while also incorporating combat mechanics similar to its predecessor, "Rogue Trader." The game features a turn-based combat system with a Fallout-esque targeting system and dynamic combat scenarios that encourage strategic thinking. Shestov describes "Dark Heresy" as a culmination of Owlcat's creativity, offering a larger and more intricate experience than "Rogue Trader."

These 7 games need a remaster, and they need it now

Fallout: New Vegas, released in 2010 by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks, is a unique RPG praised for its player agency, writing, and world-building, making it a candidate for a remaster to fix technical bugs and improve visuals. Dragon Age: Origins, released in 2009 by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts, is regarded as the best in its series, but a remaster seems unlikely due to a lack of familiar staff. Black & White, a 2001 game by Lionhead Studios and published by Electronic Arts, is not available on major platforms, and a remaster could enhance its AI and gameplay. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, released in 2004 by Troika Games and published by Activision, is a classic RPG with bugs and unfinished elements that could benefit from a remaster to fix glitches and restore content. No One Lives Forever, a 2000 game by Monolith Productions and published by Fox Interactive, is unavailable due to rights disputes, but a remaster could modernize its visuals and controls. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, released in 2004 by Obsidian Entertainment and published by LucasArts, is an unfinished narrative that could be improved with a remaster to restore missing content. Freedom Force, a 2002 game by Irrational Games and published by Electronic Arts, could benefit from a remaster to improve compatibility and support user-generated content.

Atomfall Review

Players in Atomfall awaken with amnesia in a post-apocalyptic landscape five years after the Windscale Fire, which has turned Cumberland into a quarantine zone controlled by the British government. The game features distinctive gameplay mechanics that emphasize survival action, where enemies do not have levels or health bars, and a well-placed headshot results in an instant kill. Players engage with a unique investigation system through an Investigation Journal that fills with 'Leads' as they explore, converse, and read documents. Interactions with NPCs allow for various resolutions without a morality system. Visually, the game presents mixed quality, with beautiful environments but rudimentary character models. Atomfall is optimized for smooth performance across platforms, maintaining a consistent 60fps on consoles.

Space Marine 2 studio boss hopes for a ‘reversion’ to a time before games were ‘imposing morals’ on players

Saber Interactive's CEO, Matthew Karch, commented on a YouTube video by Asmongold, criticizing the current gaming landscape for focusing on "messaging or imposing morals on gamers." He expressed a desire for nostalgic gaming experiences in the development of Space Marine 2 and referred to other games as "too woke." There are doubts about the authenticity of Karch's comment, as the YouTube account was created in May 2024, while Karch has been in the industry for decades. Saber Interactive has not confirmed whether Karch authored the comment. In 2021, Games Workshop stated that the Imperium of Man in Warhammer 40,000 serves as a cautionary tale against extreme power and xenophobia, highlighting the complexities of narrative and morality in gaming.
